Bin Day it Rathmrl.
Decoration Day was observed nt
flatbniel Saturday, May 2lth. Tho
forenoon being cold and rainy, put a
damper on the feelings of a good many,
hut. the afternoon was more favorable.
At I. .'1(1 P. M. tho procession was formed
nt the church of God by Chief Marshal
S. S. Haines and his aids, Messrs. Klmcr
Thomas, Clark Ieaeh, Georgn Howsep
and Kmi ry Kurman.
The procession was headed hy tho
West iteynoltlsvlilo cornet hand, follow
ed by the Sunday School, Sons of
Veterans, G. A. It. and P. O. S. of A.,
after which they marched to tho M. K.
church where they wept) joined by thn
Methodist and Union Sunday selusils
and the summer sel'ct school. They
then marched to Prospect, cemetery
where thu usual memorial services were
observed, consisting of a song, "Scatter
ing Flowers," by the choir, followed by
a military salute by the Sons of
Veterans; an address was then made hy
Itov. Stephens, of Pittsburg, closing
with prayer. TIim procession re-formed
In line mid marched back to the M. K.
church. A welcome song was sung by
the Sunday schools, followed with
prayer hy !ev. Smith, of Ditltois. The

Huzza, nf Falls Creek, after which they
dispersed until K.IWI I. M., when the
people were entertained by the summer
select, school with snugs, recitations
and exercises in inemoriatii of the day.
Tito programme throughout was full of
patriotism and the scIiihiI deserves
great, credit, for their part of the ex
ercises. The entire programme of tho
day and evening was interspersed with
special music for the occasion, which
was well rendered by the choir, under
the leadership of .1. h. Marshall.
One feature of the afternoon was the
base hall game between Knthmol and
the Clarion Mines team. The Clarion
boys were the victors by one score, the
score being 111 to 15, in favor of Clarion.
The festival held In the P. O. S.of A.
hall was a gram! success, both socially
and llniincially. The ladies who had It
In charge deserve praise for the ex
cellent dinner, supper and tho fine lee
cream which was served to the large
crowd of waiting people.
Tho day throughout was a grand
success and the committee on arrange
ments and the others who took an active
part should feel elated over their success.

Summer Hat.
Tho best models for hats aro neither
large nor small, and almost every ma
terial is employed. MuDy crowns aro of
silk or other material that Is a contrast
to tho straw brim. All kinds of straw
braid are used, except perhaps those
with a mixture of chenille, which looks
heavy In summer. As to ribbon there
Is an endless variety of triM? and
plaids, gauzes, moires, changeable
talTctas, and fancy wcavos; and among
tho novelties aro thoso of grass linen
edged with satin stripes, and ome of
straw canvas. Rhinestone and fancy
ornament are lavishly used, and
feathers, wings, and flowers are In abojt
equal favor. From "Summer Milli
nery," in lkmortHt't Mayaiint for Juno.
nion H. Hutler, who graduated a a
country editor and 1 now ono of tbo
best writers on the Pittsburg Times,
says: "The country editor ha been the
butt of a good deal of friendly ridicule.
Yet, after all la said, ho is a powerful
factor tn the community, and he is
generally one of thu foremost men tn
everything that goo to keep hi town
and the neighborhood at the front.
The country editor ha gone to the
Legislature, and to Congress. He ha
boon Governor of the State, and Penn
sylvania country editor have gono to
other State to fill positions of trust and
profit. Thoy have been found In the
Federal Senate and their name are In
scribed on the country' roll of honor In
the annals of tho Civil war. Not many
of them are In jail, and few in the Insane
asylums. However, they do not all
achieve distinction, either by filling de
sirable office, or by having an arm like
a walking beam that can distinguish
the fighting editor a well a the peace
ful one. But a a class the country
editor are representative men tn their
communities, and the example they set,
the work thoy do for the welfare of the
neighborhood, and their shuro in keep
ing each village and town as nearly a
possible up to date, will land them when
tho general roll Is called pretty close to
Abou ben Adhum, tho man who got bt
high rating because he loved hi fellow
men."
Something to Know.
It may bo worth something to know
that tho very best medluino for restor
ing the tired out neryou system to a
healthy vigor is Gleotrio Hitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, act by
giving tono to tho nerve centre in the
stomach, gently stimulating the liver
and kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing (iff impurities in tho blood.
Klectrlo Hitters improves tho appetite,
aids digestion, and Is pronounced by
thoso who havo tried It as tho very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.
