A meeting of citizens of Brookril'e wu held in the court house lsst Friday evening for the purpose of giving our citisenss chance to subscribe to a fund of fS.OOO which it is expected oar people will donate to a oompsny who propose to start a kindling wood factory. Subscribers were scsree, as many of those present had once subscribed a snug suss to a party who agreed to start a factory thst would benefit the town and employ a large number of workmen. After the money had been paid in it wss appropriated by the man who wss at the head of the concern. He cat a swath while the money lasted, and then quietly left town and a number of unpaid bills. This experience made our men who have money to spare a little cautious as to whom they entrust with its keeping. A numbpr of workman came down from Reynoldsrille on Monday morning. It is the Intention of the contractor to pat these men to work at once on the new woolen miU, for which ground hu already been broken. Now that this entepriie is a fixed foot, oar citisens an looking around for new worlds to conquer, and already efforts are being made for the establishment of a cracker bakery in the plant near the depot, which It now owned by the Jefferson Hilling Company. Interested parties hare already thoroughly inspected these buildings and prononnoed them firstclass, and in every way fitted for the business of cracker baking. As the buildings are nearly new and substantial, with good boilers and engine, very little alternation will be needed to put them into condition for work in a very abort time. John O'Neil, of the Contral Hotel, has been on the sick list for several days and nnable to do business on Monday. His illness is not serious, however, and after one day's confinement to the house, he is again able to attend to his usual duties behind the desk at this popular hotel. Messrs. Henry I.

Mr. Butliugtou is a member of Ridgway Commandery, and joined -that organisation in its trip to the Conclave. Invitations are out for tho twentieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. H. Means on October 20th. The reception will be at the New Commercial Hotel. Dr. W. J. McKnight's Pioneer History of Jefferson ooanty Is finished and in the hands of the bookbinder. H. H. Kennedy, who is canvassing for the work, has two samplo copies on hand, which show that no pains or expense have been spared in the getting up of what will prove an invaluable acquisition to any library. Over one hundred tickets were sold at the Brookville station on Monday morning for the Knights Templar Conclave at Pittsburg. As many persons bonght tickets and started on Saturday. It is safe to say that fully one hundred and fifty persons from Brookville and vicinity will witness the pageant in Pittsburg and take part in the exercises of oonclave week. Miss Celt* Ramsey, for many years a teacher in our public schools, died at her home at two o'clock on Monday morning after an illness of nearly a year, aged about fifty years. Miss Ramsey, or "Miss Oelia," as she wss best known, wss one of the most popular toachenofour schools, and leaves hosts of friends who mourn her loss as of a near and dear Mend. The dag on the public school grounds was displayed at half mast in her honor. Beautiful flowers were contributed by members of the classes she had taught, and her remains were followed to their last resting plaoein Brookville by a largo concourse of relatives, friends and former pupils, who will long cherish the memory of "Miss Cella." Work on the new addition to the high school building is progressing rapidly. When completed it will be a building that Brookville and Jefferson county may well be proud of. Mr. and Mrs. James Canning took their departure on Tuesday morning for a trip to the Lake cities and a visit to relatives in Michigan. They will return in about two weeks. The "Little Gorman Band" has been trnating our citisens to some music the past week. The addition of a cornet or two might make the music more acceptable. Daniel H.
