House
CleaningTime
House cleaning time
means wall papering
time, and both are here.
This is Jthe season of the
year when the house can
be renovated, cleaned and
brightened, to the best
advantage and with the
best results. Spring dec
orative ideas are always
the prettiest and this
year's surpass those of
any previous periods. The
most decorative line of
artistic and practical wall
papers is to be found at
STOKE'S DRUGSTORE.
Ha handles the famous Plus
burg paper, and handles Itex
cluslvely. No other store in
this city has it, and no othor
store has a line approaching it
in beauty of both color and de
sign. Then, prices are an add
ed Inducement. You should
call at
STOKE,
the Druggist's, before you place
yourordor. You will be dis
appointed if you don't.

still a littlo.ln favor of Reynoldsville.

Missionary Lecture.
Tho illustrated lecture given by tho
Rov. Howard Campbell Friday evening
In the Presbyterian church was well re
ceived. Mr. Campbell has been work
ing as a missionary among the Laos
people for about seven yoars. Ho is lo
cated at the Chiang Mission station and
has been associated with James and
Alex Walto, of this place, since the fall
of 1800. He reports that tho Walto boy
readily acquired tho language and are
tactful and tireless workers In present
ing the claims of the christian religion.
A most encouraging featuroof tho work
among that people Is their ripeness for
the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are
not hoBtllo toward the christian mis
sionary, but very friendly. The Budd
hist priests frequently grant the mis
sionary the use of their temples when
ho Is making an Itinerary, and, thon, at
tend the services. As a result, many of
the Buddhist prlosts are now numbered
among tho most efficient native minis
ters who are preaching tho saving gos
pel of God's dear Son.
