The Fair is held at Xazareth but it is the Northampton County Agricultural Society, it is a couuty (air. This year the money will be used In premiums for Grange and farm products exhibits.

The second annual combination biiiid conceri, composed ot seventy tv.i) niomliers of the .Macungle and V. .\1. ('. .\. bnnds, under the capable direction of Prof. Howard Haas, held here on Thursday, proved to be one of the successful events o( the open-air season. Possibly its suc¬ cess can best bo measured by the large and eiitliusiastic audience in at¬ tendance. The concert started promptly at -.1."). Tho program consisted of flf¬ teen numbers, both popular and clas¬ sical, arranged in such a manner as to satisfy the most ardent music lovers. The outstanding feature of the program was tho cornet duet, "Bolero," by Hall, played by Messrs. .Miller and Bender, which deserved tl:e applause and admiration of the entire audience. The overture. "Fall of Jericho," by Mailochand, calling for a great deal of Individual ability as well as ensemble cordination, proved an excellent number well rendered with splendid interpreta¬ tion. "The Sheik," by Snyder, a late popular hit, was played to the queen's taste, according to followers of this style ot music. If applause is a true Indication, then the stirring and Inspiring Sousa marcbis are,as popular iu this vicinity as elsewhere and as they truly deserve to be, TIio ofTicers and members of the "Y" baud deserve a groat deal of credit for introducing an entirely new and entertaining muoical feature in Nazareth, a conimunity that was always known and recognized for its musical talent and events. The greater portion of the success of this organization dnring its throe years' existence is directly due to tho un¬ tiring efforts and professional ability t f Prof. Haas, .\fter the concert tho visitng mem¬ bers, families and friends were es¬ corted to the reception rooms of Ihe Y. M. C. A., where the Ladles' Aux¬ iliary of the "Y" band entertained them with a splendid luncheon dur¬ ing which Rev. W. H, Wotring de¬ livered an address which, as usual, proved direct and to the point and heartily appreciated by all present. On Friday evening, .-Vugust IS, the "Y'" band will journey to Macungle where a similar concert will be rend¬ ered. It is the desire of the members of both organizations to make these concerts a yearly event and should receive the hearty approval and en¬ dorsement of both communities.

MOlOli IMI! rv TO MOINTALN LAKE The picnic held by the old Xaza¬ reth Band on Saturday afternoon and evening on the local Fair Grounds was a grand success and a day long to be remembered as a day of real enjoyment by all who attended. The afternoon crowd was not as large as had been expected as the threatening rain storm kept many away, but those who braved the few rain drops were well r'alia id by the exceptionally Hne concert renJereJ by the band and later in the after¬ noon real exciteu'ent prevailed when tbe outdoor sports and awarding of prizes were run off where nothing but keen competition was shown iu ul! the events. By evening the weather was ideal for picnicers and the grounds were packed with people who eujoyed themselves to the full capacity. Music lovers hail an opportunity of hearing the band at its best. Those who wished to indulge in dancing were entertained with a continued dance and cakewalkers had full sway, as there was on hand a largo variety of Icrge and fancy cakes to be disposed. One of tho main features of the e.ening that interested many was the grand drawing of the fancy quilt and th.e large centerpiece. The former was awarded to Edward Hiram Jones oil X'azareth and the latter to Paul Edelman, of Bath, The management of the affair surely lived up to what they prom¬ ised—to show their co-operators a royal good time and according to re¬ ports realized a neat sum for their efforts. The- liorongh of Xazareth was shocked last Wednesday afternoon when the news was flashed abroad that Ihe Rev, .\, E. Erdman had passed away quite unexpectedly. On Tuesday evening he called on a local physician and told him he was not feeling his best. The next day he was to offlclate at a funeral, but called on Rev. J. .\. Klick to take his place because by this time his ail¬ ment had taken on a moro serious stage and by 2,30 in the afternoon he told his wife he was resting bet¬ ter and believed that he could sleep. She left the room for a moment and when she returned found he had "passed away. Rev, Erdman lived in Nazareth all his ministerial life. He was born in Blngen on July 27, 1S52, being 70 years of age. Deceased was gradu¬ ated from Muhlenberg College In 1S74 and from the Theological semi¬ nary in Mt, Airy In 1S77. He was called to the pastorate of the Plain- field parish after his graduation. This parish he served (or thirty years. He then resigned and for two years supplied the Moorestown par¬ ish iluriiin the illness of Rev. An- dies. .After the death of Rev. .\ndres he was elected the regular p.istor, which position he filled until his death. Rev. Erdman was one of the most respected citizens of Naza¬ reth, He was of a quiet, unassum¬ ing disposition, but a powerful preacher. He was of a fine social dis¬ position and beloied by all who knew him. He is survived by his widow and one sister, Miss Kate Erdman, of Bethlehem, The funeral services were held at his residence on Mon¬ day afternoon, which was attended by hundreds of relatives and friends and floral tributes were both numer¬ ous and of beautiful and rare de¬ sign. Rev, G. S, Kleckner. pastor of Forks and .Arndts churches; Rev. J, .-\. Kllck, pastor of the Hecktown and Farmersville charge; Rev, M, M. Dry, pastor of the Nazareth St, John's Lutheran church, and Rev, E. S. Ochsenford, retired, of Bethle¬ hem, were in charge.

The second annual combination biiiid conceri, composed ot seventy tv.i) niomliers of the .Macungle and V. .\1. ('. .\. bnnds, under the capable direction of Prof. Howard Haas, held here on Thursday, proved to be one of the successful events o( the open-air season. Possibly its suc¬ cess can best bo measured by the large and eiitliusiastic audience in at¬ tendance. The concert started promptly at -.1."). Tho program consisted of flf¬ teen numbers, both popular and clas¬ sical, arranged in such a manner as to satisfy the most ardent music lovers. The outstanding feature of the program was tho cornet duet, "Bolero," by Hall, played by Messrs. .Miller and Bender, which deserved tl:e applause and admiration of the entire audience. The overture. "Fall of Jericho," by Mailochand, calling for a great deal of Individual ability as well as ensemble cordination, proved an excellent number well rendered with splendid interpreta¬ tion. "The Sheik," by Snyder, a late popular hit, was played to the queen's taste, according to followers of this style ot music. If applause is a true Indication, then the stirring and Inspiring Sousa marcbis are,as popular iu this vicinity as elsewhere and as they truly deserve to be, TIio ofTicers and members of the "Y" baud deserve a groat deal of credit for introducing an entirely new and entertaining muoical feature in Nazareth, a conimunity that was always known and recognized for its musical talent and events. The greater portion of the success of this organization dnring its throe years' existence is directly due to tho un¬ tiring efforts and professional ability t f Prof. Haas, .\fter the concert tho visitng mem¬ bers, families and friends were es¬ corted to the reception rooms of Ihe Y. M. C. A., where the Ladles' Aux¬ iliary of the "Y" band entertained them with a splendid luncheon dur¬ ing which Rev. W. H, Wotring de¬ livered an address which, as usual, proved direct and to the point and heartily appreciated by all present. On Friday evening, .-Vugust IS, the "Y'" band will journey to Macungle where a similar concert will be rend¬ ered. It is the desire of the members of both organizations to make these concerts a yearly event and should receive the hearty approval and en¬ dorsement of both communities.

MOlOli IMI! rv TO MOINTALN LAKE The picnic held by the old Xaza¬ reth Band on Saturday afternoon and evening on the local Fair Grounds was a grand success and a day long to be remembered as a day of real enjoyment by all who attended. The afternoon crowd was not as large as had been expected as the threatening rain storm kept many away, but those who braved the few rain drops were well r'alia id by the exceptionally Hne concert renJereJ by the band and later in the after¬ noon real exciteu'ent prevailed when tbe outdoor sports and awarding of prizes were run off where nothing but keen competition was shown iu ul! the events. By evening the weather was ideal for picnicers and the grounds were packed with people who eujoyed themselves to the full capacity. Music lovers hail an opportunity of hearing the band at its best. Those who wished to indulge in dancing were entertained with a continued dance and cakewalkers had full sway, as there was on hand a largo variety of Icrge and fancy cakes to be disposed. One of tho main features of the e.ening that interested many was the grand drawing of the fancy quilt and th.e large centerpiece. The former was awarded to Edward Hiram Jones oil X'azareth and the latter to Paul Edelman, of Bath, The management of the affair surely lived up to what they prom¬ ised—to show their co-operators a royal good time and according to re¬ ports realized a neat sum for their efforts. The- liorongh of Xazareth was shocked last Wednesday afternoon when the news was flashed abroad that Ihe Rev, .\, E. Erdman had passed away quite unexpectedly. On Tuesday evening he called on a local physician and told him he was not feeling his best. The next day he was to offlclate at a funeral, but called on Rev. J. .\. Klick to take his place because by this time his ail¬ ment had taken on a moro serious stage and by 2,30 in the afternoon he told his wife he was resting bet¬ ter and believed that he could sleep. She left the room for a moment and when she returned found he had "passed away. Rev, Erdman lived in Nazareth all his ministerial life. He was born in Blngen on July 27, 1S52, being 70 years of age. Deceased was gradu¬ ated from Muhlenberg College In 1S74 and from the Theological semi¬ nary in Mt, Airy In 1S77. He was called to the pastorate of the Plain- field parish after his graduation. This parish he served (or thirty years. He then resigned and for two years supplied the Moorestown par¬ ish iluriiin the illness of Rev. An- dies. .After the death of Rev. .\ndres he was elected the regular p.istor, which position he filled until his death. Rev. Erdman was one of the most respected citizens of Naza¬ reth, He was of a quiet, unassum¬ ing disposition, but a powerful preacher. He was of a fine social dis¬ position and beloied by all who knew him. He is survived by his widow and one sister, Miss Kate Erdman, of Bethlehem, The funeral services were held at his residence on Mon¬ day afternoon, which was attended by hundreds of relatives and friends and floral tributes were both numer¬ ous and of beautiful and rare de¬ sign. Rev, G. S, Kleckner. pastor of Forks and .Arndts churches; Rev. J, .-\. Kllck, pastor of the Hecktown and Farmersville charge; Rev, M, M. Dry, pastor of the Nazareth St, John's Lutheran church, and Rev, E. S. Ochsenford, retired, of Bethle¬ hem, were in charge.
