—The Pennsylvania railroad, finding
the great need of more passenger engines because of the rapid increase in
business, will, it is said, build a number
of engines still larger than tbe present
class L machines. The company wants
to do away with the necessity of running double-headers and the only way
is to have engines capable of hauling
big trains. The new locomotives will
be monsters and will have to carry a
tank almost twice as large as the ones
now in use. The. heavy engines will also bring about heavier rails in some parts
of the system. However, there are tew
divisions that are not equipped with the
largest rails, and the changes in this
direction will be few.

General Gordon Coining.
General John B. Gordon has two celebrated lectures, viz : "The First Days
of the Confederacy" and "The Last
Days of the Confederacy." Under the
auspices of Post 44, G. A. R., of Huntingdon, he delivered the last named lecture last spring to a large Huntingdon
county audience. By good fortune the
above named organization has secured
Gen. Gordon to deliver the first named
lecture, viz: "The First Days of the
Confederacy" in the Y. M. C. A. Hall in
Huntingdon on Thursday evening, October 19th, beginning promptly at a quarter before eight o'clock. Admission 25,
35 and 50 cents. The lecture last spring
was one of the most interesting intellectual treats ever given to a Huntingdon county audience. Much could be
said and written of that lecture, yet
nothing would express the fact so well
as the fact that for over two hours Gen.
Gordon held his audience spellbound,
to that extent that you could hear a pin
drop on the floor, save for the peals of
laughter at his keen witticisms and the
bursts of applause at the candid, honest,
lofty sentiments of patriotism, so grandly and beautifully presented and forcibly
expressed. The boys of '61 to '65 of
Post 44 are not millionaires are trying
to keep tbe organization together, and
by giving you an entertainment as this
will be they will appreciate a full house.
We have the lecture to begin early in
the evening in order that persons com- .
ing from a distance can hear the entire
lecture and yet reach home by train the
same night. Orders for 'reserved seat
tickets can be had at Read's drug store
and at Wm. Reed & Son's dry goods
store. Remember the date, Thursday,
Oct. 19, 1899.
Hot Rag-Time Coon Song.
Rag-time coon music and words have
become very popular the past year and
writers ot that class of songs have been
vleing with each other to produce those
catch rag-time airs which become immediately popular with the masses. We
have before us a sheet ot music which
to use a slang expression, "Takes the
Cake." It has the ear-marks of popularity on its face, and it has a lithographed title page in five colors with
pictures of all the prominent black face
comedians ot the day and their names
who are using the song this season.
The music is strictly rag-time and the
words have evidently been written to
suit the music thus revising the usual
method of producing songs. "She'll
Never Live to Love Another Coon" is
the title and Claude Melnotte the composer. It is published by the Kansas
City Talking Machine Company, oi Kansas City, Missouri, at the price of fifty
cents per copy. It can be had of any
regular music dealer or of tbe publishers, who offer to send the subscribers
of this paper a copy on reeeipt of twenty-
fire cents in stamps or coin. Original
records for phonographs or grapho-
phones of this song supplied at fifty
cents each.   Send for catalogue.
Good £nongh to Take.
The finest quality of loaf sugar is
used in the manufacture of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the roots used
in its preparation give it a flavor similar
to tbat of maple syrup, making it very
pleasant to take. As a medicine for the
cure of coughs, colds, la grippe, croup
and whooping cough it is.unequalled by
any other. It always cures, and cures
qurckly.   For sale by J. G. Gillam.
E. E. Turner, Compton, Mo., was cured of
piles by De Witt's Witch Hazol Salve after
suffering seventeen years and trying over
twenty remedies. Physicians and surgeons
endorse it. Beware of dangerous counterfeits.   A, B. Gillam, J. O. Heaton.
