A VOLUME 16. REYNOLDSVILLE, PENN'A., WEDNESDAY, JULY 17,1907. " NUMBKK 10.. OLD HOME WEEK CELEBRATION WILL BE HELD AT REYNOLDSVILLE THE WEEK OF AUGUST 19 TO 24 OF THIS YEAR OLD HOME WEEK RE-UNION IS NOW AN ASSURED SUCCESS People Pledge Liberal Assistance and Committees are Working Day and Night. FREE INVITATIONS, STATION ERY AND OTHER MATTER Headquarters Opened on Second Floor of the Bing-Stoke Co. Block where a Stenographer is in Constant Attendance who will Furnish Information, Give out Advertis ing Matter, Invitations, Etc. ilAS BEEN many years since so much genuine enthus iasm was manifested by the people ot Keynoidsviiie as Ik I J I has been called forth by the movement for the celebration of Old Home Week. Within a few hours after the solicit ing committee started to work nearly seven hundred dollars was pledged and the subscriptions have been coming in steadily ever since. In one instance fifty dollars in five dollar sub scriptions was raised in ten seconds. At the present time the amount raised from subscriptions, and assured f-oin concessions and privileges, justifies all claims that the celebration -will far sur pass all previous efforts and the amusements alone will repay even strangers for a week's stay. The celebration is but half, the chief feature will be the reunion of old friends and there is every indica tion that from ten to fifteen thousand people will visit the town during the Old Home Week. From the start the work of prepara tion has been pushed vigorously. Every evening the committees have met, using at first Williams' barber shop and now the head quarters over the Bing-Stoke Co. store. These sessions have been something more than lively at times, but it is all for the "good of the cause" and out of the forge of talking, planning, scrapping these Old-Home-Week-smiths are hammering a celebration of which our citizens may be proud and invite with confidence their old friends to witness it. Advertising matter is being issued rapidly and the invitations will be ready by the first of next week. These will be kept at the headquarters and Miss Minnie Strong has been retained to remain at thse rooms and issue to all who call free invitations when ready, and also free envelopes and letter heads, bearing an Old Home Week card. It is the desire of the committee that every person in town co-operate in advertising the reunion by using this free stationery in writing to their friends over the country. It is entirely in the hands of the citizens to make or mar this celebra tion and reunion and one of the most important services they can render is to aid in sending out invitations to former Reynoldsville people to come back for visit. If you know of a single person any where in the United States who is interested in Reynoldsville, who ha9 lived here in the past or expects to in the future, either send them an invitation yourself or else give their names to the clerk at headquarters and a free invitation will be sent to them by the committee. Both Bell and Summerville 'phones have been installed in the headquarters and the clerk can be reached at any time. . Again, the people may assist materially in spreading the news of our reunion by a liberal use of the Old Home Week "sticker," an unlimited supply of which will be kept at the hendrprir'.ers to be given free to all who ask. Stick them on all your packages sent by express or mail, on your envelopes, if you do not use the free stationery, or on any other matter which passes through the hands of many persons in transit. . No definite announcement of attractions' Can be made yet. The amusement committee has a number in view, including a large number of free attractions, and care is being exercised that no f ake carnival companies shall secure privileges. There is money enough at command of the committee to secure attractions' ot genuine -merit and they are going to give the people exactly what tbey ad vertise. Athletic events of varied nature will have a prominent place on the program and numerous novel exhibitions have been suggested. At a meeting of the general committee held at headquarters last evening money was appropriated to the amusement, music and advertising committees. Several applications for concessions had been made to the privilege committee and granted. Their judgment was approved. The invitation committee submitted a draft of the invitation to be sent out, which was accepted. It is genial and hospitable enough in tone to induce even the former residents of Reynoldsville away out in California to drop every thing and hit the trail for their old home town. Few persons realize the extent of the celebration being planned for this occasion and the urgent need of money to carry out the work. It is a citizens' celebration and -every man in town should be glad to have the opportunity to contribute, by doing so not only helping to provide entertainme i for old friends who will be here but assisting in insuring ReynoUsville's future growth. A Delightful Family Reunion. Saturday, (ith Inst., dawned bright and beautiful and near ten o'clock about thirty-six children, grand, children, great grand children, relatives and frlenda began to gather in at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hetrlck, of Pansy, to cheer and have a good social time together, and to say that they realized their fondest deslreB is putting it mildly indeed, for after hearty hand shaking and cordial greetings, cherry voices and merry peals of laughter were heard in all directions, wblch betoken ed that each one was on the lofty heights of enjoyment. The dinner hour arrived duly and found a sumptuous feast laid on the table under the cool shade trees reflect Jpg honor on the family for being good providers and skillful in the culinary department, and I need not add that all did ample justice to this abundant re past, tbe preacher not excluded. Mr. Hetrick Is one of the most aged and honored citizens of Beaver town ship, and enjoys these annual home comings of tbe children as only a de voted father can, and no doubt it makes him think, as it does us, of that joyous reunion of all believing children In our Father's home on high. The day wa9 certainly spent in a man ner befitting christian people, and all too soon the clock gave the signal to disperse, and, no doubt, as eaoh one re paired to bis or her respective home they realized the truth of the sentiment that in diffusing happiness you are made happy yourself. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Delner and three children, John, Clarence and Ella, Edward Carr, of Brookyllle, Mr. and Mrs.. John Brooks and two children, Catherine and Mary, Mr. and, Mrs. Frank Dniner and daughter, Ruby, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Space and three daughters, Levina, Leals and .

Nearly every one who has been to Monti; Carlo has board of "Mamma" Vlaiul, a little, beut old French wo man, a widow, who played for years. "Mamma" Vlnud played roulette each day from morning until nlfjlit. Her beaily eyes, twitching nervously, saw nothing but ti:a Ivory ball as It fell Into th.' it'll. .'..3 tlicy watched her stag;., "'".si from the gaming tables late ai I ill r 03;ilu pitied her. Her whole soul, her life, seemed ab sorbed lu the nwful desire of winning. The old woman at times lost heavily for her; then she regained her losses. For a long time she was enabled to live and continue her feverish pursuT. of the game. ; One night the old woman lost nearly all her store. As she passed from the table, despair in her eyes, ber attention was attracted by another wheel. She stopped and bent over the table. Again and again the wheel spun around nnd stopped. The u.d woman's eyes sparkled. A flush suffused het pallid cheeks. . As she left the room she chipped her hands, nnd her laugh a shrill, mock ing chuckle startled the gamesters as omtnous, uncanny. "Better watch the old woman!" one of the official lookouts told a detective. He followed "Mamma" Vlaud to her hotel. He listened outside of her door. There was no alarming sound. In a short while she extinguished her lights and evidently had retired. The following evening she reappear ed In the gaming hall. Tier eyes still sparkled; her cheeks were still flushed. With her were several notorious game sters. They approached n table. "Mam ma" Vlaud began to play. She won. The gamblers, who had loaned her money, watched. She play ed a second time and won nnd a thlrj time and won. The gamblers looked on amazed and saw the old woman raking In thousands of francs. Purlng the evening the old woman snt by the table, playing persistently, ner winnings doubled, trebled, quad rupled nnd piled np about her. Tbe management became alarmed. A consultation was held. Special de tectives were sent to watch her. Scores had gathered about the table, looking on breathlessly at her wonderful run of luck., The detectives reported to the management Hint "Mnmnia" Vlnud was playing a certain combination of numliers that Invariably won. One of the directors Iwxnitgbt the old woman to desist playing, Tim bonk would be broke, he declared. She smiled nnd ooutiimed to piny. The director offered lier $."0,000 to cease plnylng. He doubled the flwre if she would tell blin tbe secret of her success. He Importuned her to take $200,000. $2r0,000, only cease waging her successful battle for gold. Finally he offered her $300,000. Ac cepting this, "Mamma" Vlaud. gather ing together her fortune, told him very quietly that In passing the table the night before her quick eye hud detect ed that the ball of this particular wheel stopped at ai certain place at regular intervals. The managers ex amined the wheel, found that it was out of order and congratulated them selves Upon having compromised with the old woman. Philadelphia North American. Two New Laws.
