Here is something new and worth trying— XXXX BEST and NORTHERN BELLE, made of the Finest Hard Spring Wheat.  A Baking Contest. The Northern Milling Co's Celebrated Brands "XXXX Best" and "Northern Belle" Flour. A quiet wedding took place on Grant street, Thursday, which united Will T. Darr, of Brookville, and Miss Hope Hall, of this place, Rev. W. F. Reber pronouncing the magic words. Mr. Darr is a promising attorney, of Brookville, and also the Mayor of that beautiful inland city. Mrs. Darr, that is now, was one of our most popular young ladies. The young couple acted wisely, and instead of fooling away time and money in an extended bridal tour, took the first train for their home at the county seat, which had previously been put in proper condition for their reception. I came near forgetting to state that the bride was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. HalJ, of Grant street. The writer extends hearty and sincere con* grat illation*.. We have a good band, but it does the town little good. They prefer going abroad to staying at home. The committee having in charge the musical part of the entertainment on the Fourth offered $36 for twelve pieces on that day, which they refused. Four dollars a piece or no play is the way they put it. That would be all well enough if they were going to Punxsutawney or DuBois, but for a home entertainment it looks frightfully exorbitant. I understand they will go to Punxsutawney and play in the Midway. For what day they don't say. From present indications the eagle will let out one of its most liberty-loving screams right here in our town July 4th, 1900. The Sons of Veterans have spared no expense to make it really and truly the day of all days. We do not have the "greatest trick horse ever exhibited," nor yet a "Worlds Fair Midway," and yet we are sort of midway between Punxsutawney and DuBois. If you want to get your money's worth come to Reynoldsville and see the greased pig and help to catch him. "dell" Hall, an employee in Ed Burn's livery on Fourth street, waa probably fatally injured by the kick of a horse about 11.30 a. m. Monday. The horse had been put in the stable by a travelling man, and Mr. Hall waa in the act of feeding it when it kicked, striking him above the right eye. He waa rendered unconscious and did not recover until Drs. Reynolds and Neale had worked with him for some time. The skull is badly fractured, and, at this hour, chances for his recovery are doubtful. the county, and there are few better in the large cities. There is none better. It has been on the market for over f years, and found to Bake the Whitest, Lightest ami Most Nutritious bread.

EBERHART, PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA. OUR MOTTO;—"Same Price Same Day to Everybody." J. B. JOHNSON BLOCK, HT T Mens' and Boys' • O. llU ri Di FURNISHER, ' punxsutawney, pa. The Military news is confined to the general statement that the Free Staters have about a fortnight left in which to escape from the net which Lord Roberts is casting round them, or to surrender. Meantime, their commandos, moving rapidly from one point to another, are harassing the British convoys, and inflicting losses which in the aggregate add considerably to the casualty list, besides capturing small detachments of prisoners. The Natal Government, however, has been warned that there are considerable numbers of Free State burghers in the southern part of the Drakensberg, apparently threatening a raid on the upper Tugela. The British losses up to June 16 are officially given at 243 officers and 2,353 men killed : 64 officers and 558 died of wounds, and 123 officers and 3,782 men died of disease and 60 men accidentally killed, making the total deaths 7,183 of all ranks. There were invalided to England from wounds and sickness, 724 officers and 15,039 men. The missing and prisoners after deducting the officers and men released at Waterval after the occupation of Pretoria, were 41 officers and 1,469 men, the total casualty list being 24,456 of all ranks. At the same date there were over 11,000 sick in the various hospitals, and the whole estimated casualties since the beginning of the war are pat ot 51,917, compruliig native* and others in the commissariat, transport, railroad and DMdlcalMrrioM.—V. T. Sun M. M. Fisher's new residence, on Mabel street, is ready for the roof. Ninian Cooper is having an addition put to his Grant street residence. George Means,one of Brook ville's brightest attorneys, was in town Thursday. Dr. A. H. Bowser has two new houses 011 Jackson street ready for occupying. George Stoke has the foundation ready for his new residence on Mable street. W. T. Cox, wife and daughters Ella and Bessie, drove to Punxsutawney Thursday. Arthur O'Donnell is erecting an elegant dwelling on the northeast corner of Fifth and Hill streets. Samuel Ressler is building a line dwelling house on the northwest corner of Fifth and Hill streets. Scott McClelland spent a couple of days in town last week, looking after his large and rapidly growing trade. John McGiffen, of Brookville, was in town Saturday looking after the agricultural implement business. Mrs. Jessie Lowther, of Mt. Pleasant, Pa., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. William Barclay, of Jackson street. John A. Green, of Brockwayville, who is one of the best piano salesmen in the country, was in town Sunday. George Hughes, the wholesale man, has purchased the John Dillman property on Fourth street, and will shortly move therein.Will Hay and wife, of DuBois, spent Sunday with Mrs. Hay's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schwem, at the farm near Reynoldsville. Miss Clara McClarren, who has been engaged at dressmaking for a number of years, has closed her establishment, and is taking a much-needed rest. Harry Schlabig, who is in the employ of the B, R. A P. railway, stationed at Buffalo, is spending the Fourth with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Schlabig, of West Main street. The following named gentlemen, members of the B. P. O. E., of this place, will disport themselves in the waters of "old ocean" at Atlantic City, this week: P. McDonald, Ed Gooder, F. H. Alexander, James Hughes, Dr. J. B. Neale, Frank Deitz, F. P. Howe and Dr. Harry King. The Foust-Russ property, in which is embraced the "old Sandy Lick," was purchased last week by a syndicate of Reynoldsville gentlemen, who will erect some fine dwellings thereon. This is a valuable plot of ground, and well suited for residence purposes. , Charles Burns, Jr., whp has been enjj ployed on the P. & W. R. R., at Pittsburg, for several months, returned home last week where he will remain until after the Fourth. "Hutch" is an expert railroader, and his services are always in demand. John J. Thompson, a former resident of Brookville, but now of New York, was in town Thursday shaking hands with his many friends. Mr. Thompson is one of nature's noblemen, and whereever his lot is cast personal magnetism draws around him hosUt of true friends. Every person likes John Thompson. It may not be generally known, but er's old stand. Harry is a good workman, and handles a complete line of everything to be found in an establishment of that kind. Single and double harness, collars, saddles, netting, etc. The firm name is Mogle Brothers, and Harry don't wnnt you to forget it. Harry Mogle is still doing business at Fish- John Dean drove into town Saturday morning with an overcoat oil. John Bur- top, of the Beechwoods, informed me that he wore a muffler and ear lugs, but this Mr. Dean emphatically denies. He owns up to the overcoat part of it, but claiming it was a light one—something of the "duster" variety—and that it suits June better than January weather. Theressa, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Burns, of Grant street, gave a party to a number of her little girl friends Saturday afternoon. There were thirty-three present, ranging in age from 4 to 13 years. An excellent supper was served on the lawn and a general good time prevailed. Sunday's Post created quite an excitement in our town by the announcement of the finding of the body of I. J. Fuller, a former resident of our town, hanging to the limb of a tree near Valley Camp. Today's papers claim that it was not Mr. Fuller, but some other fellow, which I trust is correct. Mrs. John Lowther, of Walston, and daughters, Cora, Uoldie, Marguerite and son Clyde, are visiting the family of ex- Sheriff Ed Burns. They will remain until Mr. Lowther makes arrangements for their removal to Rimersburg, where he is now engaged in the coal business, he having leased a large amount of territory In that vicinity. Editor Stephenson, who has been doing the annual-excurslon act with other newspaper men,atWilkesbarre and surrounding country, returned home Saturday looking fresh as a daisy. Clarence reports having had a nice time, and from the small know- ledge I have of similar affairs his simple assertion satisfies me that he is stating just what is correct. These annual outings of the "knights of pencil and shears" are enjoyable affairs, and are fertile oasis in the life of the average newspaper man. Thomas F. B. Tapper, the liveryman, has just had the finishing touches put on the new edition to his stable. Mr. Tap- er now has one of the finest equipped es- tablishments in the State, and the most commodious. It has a frontage of thirtyfive feet on Main street, and a depth of one hundred and forty-seven feet. It has a basement capable of holding thirtythree horses, and two fall stories above. Everything modern and up to date. Beynoldsville can boast of the bsst liveries in * "ir ;.y>v m K ... ™ s - m
