II. The Head of the
Table
A lot of quarrelsome Scottish
chiefs used to quarrel beoause each
wanted to sit at the head of the ta
ble. Some one hit on the plan of
putting a round table in the room
where they met, and each of them
then imagined that he had the place
of honor.
This arrangement worked splen
didly until Bob Boy McGregor took
a shy at it. After he had beoome
mrt of his power a banquet was be
ing served to the chiefs at the round
table.
When the servants brought in tho
rout McGregor shouted, "PUT IT
AT THE HEAD 07 THE TABLE 1"
"But where is tho head of the ta
ble Puked the servant.
"TB3 HEAD 07 THE TABLE IS
WHHUfc THE VOBEQOB SITS."

Good Sized Fund Contributed and Commitees are Encouraged
In Their Work Amusement, Advertising Entertainment
and Music Committees Exceptionally Active.
ARRANGING GAMES,
REYNOLDS VILLI? will have the only j)ig Fourth of July celebra
tion in this section of the state and in recognition of that fact
the committees are now planning an event bigger awl better even
than'they first thought possible. They are enabled and encouraged
to do this by the liberal voluntary contributions of local business
men, who appreciate the value of such a celebration to the town:
Present indications are that, given a fair day, Reynoldsville will
entertain as large a crowd July 5th as has ever gathered oh its
streets. Everybody seems interested and willing to help.
Just what the big free street exhibitions, the central feature of
the celebration, will be, has not been definitely decided. The
amusement committee has in view a number of attractions, some
fully as thrilling as Breton's famous feat of "Jumping the Gap,"
given during "Old Home Week." Whatever they choose, the pub
lie may rest assured it will be new and unique. This committe has
also closed its contract for an exhibition of fireworks on the even
ing of the Fifth. It will b'e up to expectations.
Chairman Williams selected a live bunch for an advertising
committee and they are right down to business hustling the bills
and dodgers out over the country. The committee has sent ad
vertising matter to almost every important town in a radius of
fifty miles of Reynoldsville and will flood the county with literature
in the next two weeks. When Reynoldsville celebrates she likes to
have the rest of the world drop in and share the fun. "
There's going to be plenty of music on the Fifth. The music
committee is certain of one band of eighteen pieces and may secure
another, an Italian band of twenty pieces, to help out. Free band
concerts will be one of the features of the program.
