The Popular and OrowinK Order Patri otic Order Sons of America Scores Another Success and Adds a Fresh Laurel to its List. One of the most patriotic demon j strations developing from a P. (). S. [of A. County Convention was that held in Hillsgrove Friday of last week. At no time has the order met in convention with more pomp and splendor, nor has it ever had spread before it a more peace giving and joyous influence that seemed to lead its members involuntarily to a higher spiritual realm and patriotic impulses. The afternoon brought cheerful crowds of delegates from all the var ious camps of the county with hut one exception, Sonestown, to the little Eden in a beautiful vale, Hills grove, where tall shade giving trees majestically extend their branches as if in prayerful devotion aiuljoyously thankful gleams their luxuriant foliage to the Creator of their being. At 7:30 the members of the order assumed their regalias and formed a line in front of the I. o. <>. F. hall, and headed by the Hillsgrove band, marched through the streets lined with spectators, to the Church of Christ where the public meeting was conducted. Here the church was profusely decorated with the National colors, presenting a sight most cntransing. The tastes of those who led in (lie mutter of decoration was up to the highest point attainable and deserved all the praise it dieted. The church was packed and even standing room was not obtainable, for the many remaining on the out side. The audience was a select one and the interesting program was carried out in a most creditable man ner. The entire music selection and program was excellent and received deserved compliments. 112 Bro. J. A. Gibbs, smiled prettily as he arose and liiodistly introduced the President of the convention, Ulysses Bird, who took the official seat, filling it most desirably. The first patriotic selection was sung by the choir, "All Hail Dear Columbia," followed by a fervent prayer from the eloquent voice of Rev. Spooner. Solo, "Cuban Hero," by Mrs. Charier Clarke. -V. J. Bradley Esq., after a few well chosen remarks, read the pre amble cmboding the principles of the grand order. Singing, "Tenting on the old Camp Ground," by male voices. A. I". Lescher, State Vice-Presi dent of the order, </f Berwick, deliv ered an excellent address original and spicy, lie at once stamped a broad smile on the audience which at times would develope into hearty laughter. The program closed with a beauti fulsolo, "Roll Call," by Mis. Vernon Hull. A line of march was formed and led by the band to the hall where a business meeting was held and affairs of the order discussed. The business of the meeting was smoothly transacted under the fol lowing officers: President, I'lysses Bird; Vice-President, 11. W. Taylor; Master of Forms, Ed. Darby; Rec. Secretary, ('has. L.

Lopez and New Alpany played u game of baseball Saturday at Lope/ we could not keep an accurate record of the game as we were kept busy marking down the Lopez scores. A number of ball players from Bern ice played with New Albany and the ex hibition Saturday is an indication that Bernice does not want any base ball team made of such timber. The score was 32 to 11 in favor of Lopez had Lopez played ball as they can the score would have been writ ten with four figures. The grim and unrelenting reaper death has once more visited our town and took from our midst one of out most promising and brightest young men Mr. James Gilligan at the age of 2!> years. Mr. Gilligan for a num ber of years has been the trusted clerk and shipper for the S.L.A-S. R. R. Co. at this place his duty to his employers was alwys first with him and he continued to perform his duties until the day before he died. Friday evening In; went to Towanda to see Dr. Ladd arid returned Satur day and- at 8 o'clock Sunday morn ing he died. Asthma was the cause of his death. His friends were as numerous as the falling leaves, enimies he had none. To bis aged parents he had always been a dutiful and loving son, to his brothers and sisters a kind and lov ing brother, and to his neihbors a true and steadfast friend, he will be missed by all who knew him, and the sympathy of the community is extended to his aged parents and to his brothers and listers in their sad bereavement.
