With tbe roar and shock of dynamite Reynoldsville's great Old Home Week celebration was ushered in one minute after midnight Sunday. Immediately after the reverberation had died away the air was filled with a pandemonium of whistles, shrill and hoarse, of church bells and cannon on three hills, east, west and north of tbe town huge bon fires shot high into the air and Il luminated the valleys far and near. Firemen run out the hook and ladder wagon and the clangor of the noisy bell made Main street merry. A mar, tial band got busy and their muslo was punctuated with revolver shots and cheers. For ten minutes the town was turned Into a perfect bedlam to express the joy of its citizens at anticipated pleasure. The noise ended ten minutes after almost as suddenly as It began, but the fires smoldered long Into the morning. Even so It will be with this celebra tion we have planned for Reynolds ville. For ono week the town will be in a .blaze of glory, attracting attention far and near by the effort it is putting forth. But let do citizen forget that the purpose of this reunion Is not mere ly for the sake of a week's excite ment, but for the eternal welfare of the community. The weex of glory will end, but its effects will remain for many years. And the duration of the stimu lation will be in exact proportion to the effort expended by each individual now. Dream That Came True Rev. G. S. Womer,- of Hollidaysburg, an erstwhile Reynoldsvllle boy, in a reminiscent talk in the M. E. church at this place Sunday night, told of a dream that came true in bis early boyhood days. On the commons, near where A. T. McClure now lives on Main street, then owned by Archie Campbell, were some apple trees on which some vory sour apples grew. One evening Mrs. Womer told George that Bhe wantea him to get her a few of those apples the following morning to use in some jelly she wanted to make. That night George dreamed that be had climbed an apple tree and while knock ing apples off the tree a very cross looking old woman, with a broomstick in one hand, suddenly appeared under tbe tree and in no gentle tone demand ed that he come down out of the tree immediately, which he did as quickly as possible, and only by quick action escaped tbe broomstick.' In the morn ing, forgetting the dream, George went after the apples and while on tbe tree Mrs. Archie Campbell suddenly appeared, with broomstick In hand, and tbe dream of the night before became a reality. He escaped the broomstick. INTER COUNTY LEAGUE Organized at Sykesville Several days Ago With Six Teams in League.

Freddie Cunningham, the tightrope walker, is becoming a great favorite with the lads of Reynoldsvllle. Seeing him on the rope, acting with perfect ease and skill, one would suppose him a veteran In the business. Actually, be Is but fifteen years of age and has been at his present dangerous avocation but three years. As a mere youngster in Klttanning he delighted in walking on fences, on tight clothes lines and in every other form of aerial feats and and gradually gained such skill that he was sought after by surrounding towns for public exhibitions. To-day it fs doubtful if he has an equal or superior in ease of action while high In tbe air and in danger of momentary death. Last night his exhibition drew a very large crowd and he repeated bis sucess ful feats of tbe afternoon Souvenir Pins.

Borland, of Mercer, delivered a sermon from the words of the Preacher of Jer usalem, "Man goeth to his long home," and it was filled with allusions to tbe memories of early days when his vil lage, Brookvllle, was practically the only town in Jefferson county, when Reynoldsville consisted of a few settlers homes and Luthersburg was tbe only hamlet of size along tbe early turnpike In this section. When Dr. Borland closed his address the Rev.

Second, to bring back former citizens, renew old acquaintances and form new friendships. Tbe eternal changes of time "have transformed the town and its citizens. Many have moved away, called hence, by business interests." The Old Homo Week says, come back and see bow we are getting along and tell us your own experiences. Third, many ' who have lived here are strangors to many who live here now. Some will be here who were born here, reared, live and still stay; some who were here in tbe Infancy of Reynoldsville and aro now gone afar; some who have lived here a few years only. We extend a welcome to all and tbe spirit o! friendship should be su preme. Fourth object, to advertise our town.
