John BUCHANAN returned to this place last Saturday. Miss Jessie LETTS, of Penfield, visited at REITZEL'S last week. Mr. Joe. THOMPSON made a short stay in Penfield Saturday evening. We would like to know if there is any chewing gum left in Winterburn since Sunday last. Misses Jennie BROWN and Etta ENGLISH, of Penfield, spent Sunday with friends in this place. Mrs. CROWLEY, of this place, who has been visiting friends in Nova Scotia for some time, returned last Thursday. Mrs. LABOARD, mother of Mrs. WALKER, of this place, who has been ill for sometime, is now able to be around again. The mills have started up again. James CHRISTY is watchman on CRAIG'S planing mill, and Henry SHELDRAKE, of Penfield, is watchman on CRAG'S big mill, and Mr. KIRK, former watchman on BLANCHARD'S mill, has again resumed his place. We do not wonder if the walking is good between this place and Penfield, it must be as a crowd of young people from East Penfield came up on the train for the pleasure of walking down. We also wonder if Phil found out who was in the carriage. Mr. RANKIN will hold Memorial service in the School house next Sunday. Pansy T. W. LETTS, and daughter, Miss Jessie, of Penfield, called to see us last Friday. Mr. LETTS has just retired from the proprietorship of the Penfield Sentinel which he disposed of to Messrs. A. H. ROSENKRANS and F. R. SCOFIELD after having placed the publication on a firm footing. He took hold of the paper when others had despaired of making it a success and persevered until he made it a lively country publication. Messrs. ROSENKRANS and SCOFIELD are made of the right material to continue where brother LETTS left off and we wish them good luck. Mr. LETTS left on Monday for Kentucky, where he hopes to strike something in the newspaper line in which to invest. We also hope he may meet with success there should he decide to locate. PUBLIC SPIRIT Dr. R. Strobridge died Saturday evening at his home in Knarr addition, aged 56 years. The doctor has been a familiar figure on the streets of DuBois for nearly a decade, coming here from Hickory, about 6 miles east of this place where the body will be taken for burial on Tuesday. The family now consists of a wife and 3 children, one an adopted child. DuBois Courier Mr. H. D. EARL, a former editor of the Gazette, and a member of the firm of H. D. EARL & Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, is visiting with his mother at Sterling Run, accompanied by his wife. He has been in poor health for sometime, suffering from the effects of the Grip and came home to rest and recuperate. Someone, whose purpose seemed to be to hurt the feelings of Howard and his friends has reported the story that he is suffering from insanity and even given more publicity to the lie by using the columns of newspapers. We desire to authoritatively deny the accusation and to assure the many friends of Mr. EARL in this section that there is not the least foundation for the story, but that he is in as sound mental condition as he ever was, and is only weak from the effects of long sickness. We are glad to say he is improving rapidly now and in a few days will be able to mingle with his old friends. In the meantime the persons who started such slander had better beware. - Driftwood Gazette CUPID CONQUERS AGAIN. On Tuesday evening a large number of dressed-up people were seen traveling Westward. Among them were the bright horns of the Alicia Springs Band, always on hand to do good. The people to the number of 60 alighted in their westward flight at the home of our respected citizen Peter EVANS, where at eight o'clock Mr. E's daughter Blanche was to be wedded to Charles EDWARDS, one of our well-known young men. Promptly at the hour Miss Nellie BIRD played the usual wedding march and the bridal couple consisting of the bride and groom, and their attendants Messrs. Frank WICKETT and Geo. EVANS, and Misses Belle BLACK and Annie BRANNER came down stairs, and entered the east room, where Rev. J. J. RANKIN of the Presbyterian church said the magic words that changed the couple from care-free youngsters to man and wife. Then Tom CONNELLY looked into the big-mouthed horn to see whether any birds had flown in, and then the band played. Then to the satisfaction of some of the guests, who had forgone their supper, the usual refreshments were served, and the usual merry time was had. At an early hour, wishing the young couple all flowers and no thorns in Life's pathway, and bearing with them pleasant recollections of the occasion the guests departed. A girl baby made its debut at the residence of Frank ROSENKRANS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, MAY 31, 1890 Mr. Harry JURY and Miss Mertie SHIMMEL were married at the residence of the bride's parents on Thursday afternoon by Justice Hackett. The "Echo" wishes them a life of sunshine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, JUNE 7, 1890 A Good Man for the Place. E. L. MEANS left DuBois Saturday afternoon to take the principal position in the Penfield ECHO office. Messrs. SCOFIELD & ROSENKRANS would find it difficult to secure a man better fitted to take charge of their office; the young man has had ten years experience in the art and is the kind of assistant that a country newspaper must have - one competent to get out a paper and be able to do or direct the work from the sanctum to the sink when circumstances require it. With improved facilities and such assistance to take care of the growing job and newspaper patronage the ECHO office will take rank with some of those much longer established. DuBois Courier. Three of our townspeople were summoned away by 2 sad telegrams this week. On Saturday Harry SINDORF, clerk at the Hotel Penfield received a telegram stating that his father John SINDORF, of DuBois, had suddenly died and Harry went up at once to attend the last sad rites. On Wednesday our tailor, S. C. LERCH and his wife were summoned to Heathville, PA by a telegram announcing that the father of Mrs. LERCH had been suddenly called away by death. His name was John BEERNS and his age was 54 years. Elk County ahead. To Ed Lewis, living near Boones Mt. was born June 1st a boy weighing 14 pounds. That's what living near a mountain will do. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, JUNE 21, 1890 Death again has visited the house of Mrs. GILFOIL of Benezette thus making 3 of the family who have been called away suddenly in less than a year. The first her husband, the next her son in law, and now her daughter. Surely if there is anything in this world that brings to our hearts sadness, it is this, and everyone sympathizes with her in her sad bereavement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, JUNE 28, 1890 Horton City. Two weddings have taken place here this month and we are looking for more soon. Frank JACKSON and Miss Amy LOCKWOOD, also Lawrence BRUNNER and Miss Annie CLINE of Philipsburg. They intend making this place their home. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, JULY 1890 Steven A. DREISBACH and bride, nee Mamie SULLIVAN, arrived in town Tuesday morning. We wish them happiness unalloyed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, JULY 12, 1890 A Change in Juniors. F. R. SCOFIELD has retired from the publishing firm of the ECHO and his place has been taken by the undersigned. With an earnest desire to do all possible for the welfare of the paper and its patrons, I trust that the generous support given the ECHO in the past will be continued in the future and that the new firm may have all the success that it may deserve to enjoy. Ed. L. MEANS. A DuBois Boy Embarked. Ed. L. Means, son of Dr. W. A. MEANS, purchased on Monday of this week F. R. SCOFIELD'S half interest in the Penfield ECHO. A. H. ROSENKRANS retains his interest and the name of the publishing firm is now ROSENKRANS & MEANS. MEANS will continue in charge of the office and his partner will furnish the staple copy. They ought to make a good team; the junior member's life training has been in newspaper offices and few young men in the vicinity know better how a country weekly should be conducted; the senior member is an excellent man to furnish ideas on paper and always had a liking for the art of manufacturing sentiment, or, moulding public opinion, to speak professionally.-DuBois Daily Courier. We Are Out To Observe; That Jennie is lonely since Allen has gone. That the WALLACE men are sorry it happened. That the borough at present seems to be dead. That hay disputes the throne with bark nowadays. That the Alicia Mineral Water never fails to do good. That the tiger is a popular animal with some of our boys. That we should have a vote on the prettiest baby in town. That Tom LEWIS' soda fountain is a place of refreshing these hot days. HOOVERTOWN HINTS. Wm. SHEA was seen on our streets last Sunday. Will says the dinkey is now ready for the road again. Mrs. LANTZ was visiting friends at Toby over Sunday. Will says he had his best girl, Mamie, to church last Sunday night. Wm. DELANEY and wife drove to Dubois one evening last week. Waldo HOOVEN'S smiling face was seen on our streets last Monday. A. FURLEY and wife, of Emporium, are visiting friends here this week. Thomas JAM?ON and wife drove to Snow Shoe last Thursday and back Sunday. Liburn WESLEY And wife have returned home from Driftwood where they were visiting Mrs. WESLEY'S sister, Mrs. NE?S A young lady went out walking and on the sidewalk fell, she says that next time she will wear a bustle on her head. Mrs. Evans ?OOVER and two children are visiting friends in Centre county. They expect to remain there several weeks. It is a good thing the mill will soon be moved away for the side walks have become so bad a drunk man can't walk through on it. Ruth RANSOM. G. W. DAUGHERTY, as temporary foreman has made great improvements for the short time he has been filling that position. A close observer can see great improvements on the leather, and the liquor is running much stronger than at any time before with the same amount of bark. He certainly is a master of the profession in all its branches. Frank WICKET and T. B. CONNELLY went to DuBois on the morning of the Fourth. Their time and attention was so much taken up with two young ladies of DuBois they forgot to return home, and on Sunday evening Philip and T. J. CONNELLY thinking something dangerous had happened hired a rig and drove to DuBois after them. Boys, we believe that something in DuBois is assuming a serious nature. Some time ago we heard some one yelling below the tannery, and thinking that someone had fallen into the pond we rushed to the window and there we saw a Belgian holding a rope with a cow at one end. They were engaged in a fight in which the Belgy came out second best. They were running round and round like a dog after his own tail. Finally the cow made a dash for the barn. Just then he gave the cow a kick and the cow handed back a kick which sent the Belgian back several feet and caused him to drop the rope and clasp himself some place between the knees and the stomach and, oh dear, what a face. One Of The Boys. Prayer Meeting Wednesday evening. Free Methodist Church - Rev. O. BERLIN, Pastor. Preaching at Mt. Pleasant, Mill Run, and in KLINE'S Hall, at Penfield Loyal Temperance Legion - Meets on Saturday at 2 p.m. in basement of Methodist church. Nellie BIRD, Leader, Frances SCUDDER, Secretary.

Bratley, Mr. Warry SHOEMAKER and Miss Lena HICKMAN both of Hickory. John MONIHAN, now in the grocery business at Clearfield, and Miss Mary Anne CONNELLY married in the Catholic Church at DuBois last Thursday. A valued friend at Caledonia sends us the following: - On July 5, at 3 o'clock p.m. the fine barn of C. J. DILL, on Spring Run was seen to be on fire, and in spite of the efforts of Mr. D's neighbors, he being from home, was burned to the ground; together with a grain house, wagon house, straw shed, and blacksmith shop and their contents, being hay, straw, grain, two mowing machines, horserake, grain drill, threshing machine, wagon, two pair sleighs, etc. Mr. D's house was only saved by hard work. He had no insurance and the loss is a serious one to him, but he is very grateful to the neighbors who did their best for him. The Fourth was a very flat day in Penfield. The longing for the leeks and onions in the shape of the carnival at DuBois tempted most of our people away. The faithful ones who remained carried out the program, the parade marshalled by J. M. DAILEY going to Moose Run Grove and staying until the rain drove them home. A fine family horse for sale, a No. 1 roadster, can pace or trot, light bay, six years old, can pace a mile in four minutes, and weighs eleven hundred pounds. W. M. BRUGGER. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, JULY 19, 1890 A fine boy arrived at the home of Walter W. BROWN on Mt. Pleasant last week. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, JULY 26, 1890 TANNERY PICK-UPS. Charles MURPHY is the boy that swings the stamping mallet in the rolling room now. Abbie WICKETT and her brother picked twenty quarts of raspberries last Tuesday. Jacob BUSKIRK is the man that drawed the heaviest load of bark to the tannery this spring. Frank did those young ladies that strolled up the street in search of you last Sunday evening find you? Henry ADAMS started for his native country on Tuesday morning where he expects to remain for six weeks. The name that appeared in the tannery pick-ups of last week as W. M. LUCORE, should have been M. S. LANCE, of Sabula. Mr. DUBOIS the general Supt. was in Penfield on Tuesday sizing things up. He thinks the new foreman is the right man in the right place. Three of our fellow workmen were taken sick on last Sunday. So we suppose for they bought a dozen or more bottles of Jamaica ginger. Our boss has been suffering for several days with what is called old maid's hea? But with the assistance of Dr. LEWIS and the strength of a fly blister is getting better. Mrs. Wm. GASTOR and Miss Bessie WHORL went to Pawpaw last Saturday where the former will visit friends for two weeks and the latter will make her home in the future. Our fellow workman, H. B. METZLER, tendered his resignation last Friday. (Himself and) family have moved to Clearfield (?) expects to engage in the (?) but at better pay. (Our respected) Hibernian friend Mr. J. BURKE who for sometime has handled the ballast fork on the A. V. R.R. with a dexterity characteristic of his nation now swings the bark fork at the tannery. Long may he grind. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, AUGUST 8, 1890 Jacob ROSENKRANS, father of the ECHO senior, has received word from Aurora, Illinois, of the death by paralysis of his brother, Abram ROSENKRANS, who went from here to Aurora last winter. Deceased was night clerk at the Hotel Evans kept by his sister, Mrs. R. B. POTTER. He was highly pleased with the West and with his position, and little did anyone think that he would so soon vacate it forever. But thus ends all life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, AUGUST 9, 1890 Alexander LODER, b 1820 near Jersey Shore, PA, and d Aug 8 at Penfield. First wife, Rachel McCLOSKEY, no children. 2nd wife, Sarah J. BLAKE, who survives.1 child still living, Mrs. Amorvine G. WOODWARD. No place of burial listed. I want to sell one large mule, two fine driving horses, and some timothy hay. Come and see me. If I can't suit you in what I have, I will find something else that will. W. M. BRUGGER. The Pittsburg Post states that Chas. HACKMAN, a Clearfield grocer, while handling a bunch of bananas, was bitten by a tarantula. It is well to look out for these reptiles. Allen J. CHAMBERS has gone to near Hickeyville to build a camp for C. D. BAKER. The camp proper will be a log one 80 x 30. There will be a barn, office, and spring house. Chas. CHAMBERS will assist A. J. and the job will last one month. Thos. S. LEWIS has the finest druggist scales ever seen in this town. Two weeks ago a cow and heifer, both fine animals belonging to Mrs. Charlotte FARLEY, a widow lady on the SULLIVAN farm, disappeared and were tracked to near Clearfield. The ECHO printed posters of the loss and these were scattered over the country. Word has come from Karthaus that the animals were sold to Wm. CARLEY of that place. Some miscreant drove the animals off and sold them it seems. Chas. H. KITCHEN, living at Mountain Run, met with a bad mishap on Wednesday morning. While using an ax on WOODWARD'S job his brother Phillip threw a limb which caught the ax while raised and it came down on Charles' right foot. Dr. LEWIS was called and deciding that amputation was necessary, Drs. J. B. NEAL, of Reynoldsville, and J. S. TORBERT, of Winterburn, were invited to assist him in the operation which was performed on Wednesday afternoon, the three toes and a portion of the foot being amputated. WE ARE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE That politics are as tame as a pet sheep. That when A. is away G. and J. will play. That HOOVER the jewelryman is a hustler for trade. That Charlie FREELAND will yet be a fiddler and a caller. That Postmaster SCOFIELD knows a live newspaper when he sees one. That no rival springs can impair the standard virtues of Alicia water. That the Hotel Penfield entertains quite a many strangers these days. That Wm. ROBERTS is a perambulating encyclopedia of general information. That the new arrival at CAMPBELL'S will not be much help around the horses. That our Prohibition friends must be sawing wood for they are saying nothing. That Phil and Allen are a five hundred dollar team at running the printing press. That we are very weary of hearing about the buck that in harvest time jumped over the fence into a snow drift. LAND FOR SALE. Forty acres of land on Low Grade R. R. one mile below Tylers, on it a good house and barn. All minerals sold with the land. For terms &c. call on or address Thos. BUSKIRK, Tyler, Pa. CARD OF GRATITUDE. I wish through the ECHO to tender my heartfelt gratitude to the kind friends who have shown me so much attention and sympathy in my present sore affliction of illness. Alex. LODER. A CARD. I wish it understood that the people who are blaming me for doing the corresponding at Hoovertown for the VALLEY ECHO are badly mistaken, and I would say do not be too fast in judging other people. Wait and find out. Mrs. J. H. DIXON. George R. CAMPBELL, the Hill Street liveryman has a girl boarder who arrived Wednesday morning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, AUGUST 22, 1891 From Tyler, Mike the Italian is glad it is a girl. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, AUGUST 23, 1890 Last Saturday word came over the wires that Charles SEIB, father of Mrs. RANKIN had died in S. Dak. The remains were brought to Clarence, N. Y. where the funeral took place on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. RANKIN left Tuesday morning for Clarence and will return the last of this week. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, SEPTEMBER 6, 1890 Mesdames J. L. SCOFIELD, L. BIRD, R. SMITH, and R. C. FREELAND attended the funeral of Mrs. FREELAND nee Lizzie HAY at Dagus Mines. A Penfield young lady made a sad mistake a few days ago. In purchasing flour at a grocery store, she handed the clerk, for its reception, what she supposed to be a clean pillowslip. As the pillowslip would not hold the flour, owing to the existence of 2 embroidered outlets, the young lady abruptly departed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, SEPTEMBER 13, 1890 Prof. And Mrs. SHIELDS have returned from their visit West and the public schools of town will begin Monday with E. C. SHIELDS as principal, Mrs. Carrie SCOFIELD teacher of Grammar Dept and the Intermediate and Primary taught by Miss May WONDERS and Lillie KENDIG. The boys of the Alicia Spring Band are still pegging away to keep up their organization and enliven the town by their playing. They deserve all encouragement by words and something more substantial. To-day is the Democratic Primary election. The ECHO is not in politics and don't know who'll get the four delegates, but it will not be surprised if KERR and SAVAGE have them, for Congress and State Senator. The washing away of railroad bridges on the P. & E. R.R. above Driftwood has made it necessary for the Penn'a. R.R. to run its trains over our R.R. It is a pleasant sight to see the fine passenger trains of this road going through our town. Harry ALBRIGHT, who rode off F. R. SCOFIELD'S horse so unceremoniously last summer was sentenced to Huntingdon Reformatory by Judge KREBS. Young BERKEY, who robbed OVERTURF'S store was also sent to the same place. If this Institution will reform a tory, it surely should do these boys good. FOR SALE. A small House and Lot on Clearfield street, the house costing $300 when built, will be sold for $230-on favorable terms. Reason for selling owner is going to leave town. Inquire at ECHO office, Penfield. Pa. Tax-Payers Listen. As taxes must be paid on or before Oct. 4 in order to vote, for your convenience I will be at the Tannery store on Sept. 10 and at Hoovertown on Sept. 22. Danl. McLAUGHLIN, Collector. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, SEPTEMBER 27, 1890 [Editorial] In the past week, we have been forcibly and painfully reminded of our mortality. The very aged, the middle aged, and the very young, have fallen before the ruthless reaper whose name is Death. Why this monster is permitted to ravage the Earth is a mystery which some day, some how, some where, it is hoped will be solved. Ralph Edmund MARSHALL, son of David and Carrie MARSHALL, died September 20, 1890, aged 2 years and 6 months. Clearfield and Reynoldsville papers please copy. Amos Claud the 4 month old child of Wm CORLE died on Wednesday. On Oct. 4, 1890, this appeared; Amos C.

The consciousness of having a remedy at hand for croup, pneumonia, sore throat, and sudden colds is very consoling to a parent. With a bottle of AYER'S Cherry Pectoral in the house, one feels in such cases, a sense of security nothing else can give. Nancy ARNOLD departed this life on Oct 23, at the age of 73 years. She had lived in this town and near it for the past 25 years or more living before that in the Karthaus country. Her nature was kind and hospitable and she was a professed believer in christianity.

Part of this is unreadable but it appears that her parents were from Lanetown as that is the heading but as I read further it says near Lane's Mills. The bridal party included a Miss S. May SMITH and an N. J. COOPER. This is a very descriptive article and includes a list of wedding gifts and who gave what! I thought you might all enjoy this too; The bride looked beautiful in a rich dress of cream colored surah silk trimmed in duchess lace and brocaded silk, white kid slippers and gloves, and a corsage bouquet of cream colored chrysanthemums and a rare lace veil a hundred years old, an heirloom in the family, and diamonds glittered in the lace at her throat.

In the Memorial notice of Mrs. Susan LETTS the date of her death was given November 31. It should have been October 31. J. Watt MILLER has received a letter from Congressman-elect KRIBBS thanking the Democrats of Huston for standing by him so well. Chas. CHAMBERS and R. R.

He had a million feet of hemlock logs on a skidway and by some means the logs caught on fire and were all burned up at night. J. S. BUCY of South Penfield was surprised on last Friday evening on his 33rd birthday by a party of friends who came to rejoice with him over his passage of this milestone on life's journey.

There will be no attempt to "boom" any particular individual but the effort will be to give such information as will enable each voter to have a correct estimate of the men that ask for his support. Albert NEWELL Sr. heads the list for Judge of Election. Mr. NEWELL is an old and respected citizen of the township, and has had great experience as a member of election boards. His intelligence and impartiality fit him well for this office. As his colleagues we have the names of Jerry G. LENIG and Geo. C. Dunn for Inspectors. Mr. LENIG is a young businessman of Penfield, entirely fitted by natural ability and education for the place. In politics he is an ardent Democrat. Mr. DUNN is also a resident of Penfield, an intelligent man with a good education and a strong Republican politically. For Auditors are presented the names of John G. LIXFIELD and Walter H. WOODWARD. Mr. LIXFIELD is a young man just past majority, who has been very active in society work in the town, and has had considerable experience in handling figures. Mr. WOODWARD was census enumerator for Huston township and is conversant with figures and bookkeeping. For School Directors the list begins with T. B. BUOY. Mr. B. pays good- sized taxes and is an intelligent man, interested in the true success of the schools. T. C. HOYT is a resident of Hickory. He has served a number of years on the Board and his section is without a Director. John F. REDIFER is a member of the Board at present and has been a faithful official. H. H. FRANCISCO hails from near Tyler and is a capable man for the place. John C. KERCHNER is a resident of Tyler which locality has no Director. Mr. K. is much interested in schools. M. D. NEWELL, Esq.

All desiring to learn the system apply to her. Mina M. SLEPPY, Gen. Agt. Mrs. McDONALD daughter of John BARR of BARRS is visiting in town. We Calmly Conclude.

Mr. B. is an expert accountant and has held this office in the past. For Justice of Peace H. P. TOWNS. Mr. TOWNS has been a citizen of the township for years past and has an excellent judicial mind. Jacob WILLIAMS served ten years in this office in another township of this Co. S. M. T. BARCLAY is now serving the unexpired term of T. W. LETTS as Justice and is entirely qualified for the place. John L. WILLIAMS resides at Winterburn which place thinks itself entitled to a Justice. Mr. W. is a man of excellent education and qualifications. The Treasurer winds up the list. J. H.

OVERTURF of the firm of JOHNSON & OVERTURF is a (model) candidate in every respect. P. H. FLYNN is a substantial citizen reliable and capable, and however the great contest for this office shall end the township will be sure to have a Treasurer who will take proper care of the (land). This closes the review of the candidates. The contest has been full of interest and the result on next Tuesday is anxiously awaited. Statement of Peter EVANS The story has been circulated that I, if elected Supervisor, will let someone else perform the duties of the office. I wish to say that if the people should choose me to the place, that I expect to perform the duties myself. Peter Evans An apology to Andrew REDING. When the ECHO stated that Andrew REDING was a candidate for supervisor, was a native of Sweden, there was no intention to excite a prejudice against the gentleman to his harm. It is proverbial that the men of his nation are intelligent, honest, and industrious just the qualities needed in a supervisor. If what the ECHO said needs an apology, it is hereby freely tendered. [In the list of candidate names, this is spelled READING, with an A. In this article the A is missing.] WINTERBURN. J. L. VOSBURG made a flying trip to DuBois on Friday. Miss Kate REITZEL has gone home for a few days recuperation. Harry LUCAS was to Brookville to visit friends and relatives Sunday last. Chas.

CORBETT is taking a vacation of a few weeks to visit friends in Jefferson County, and our friend Parks GEIGER has charge of the station during his absence. John BUCHANAN who has been working in the woods for George SMITH is now stopping at the Winterburn House. He anticipates going back when the drive starts. Quite a number of our young people went to Penfield on the evening of the 7th to attend the Ball given in Kline's Hall and report having a good time with the Penfield lads and lassies. On Wednesday our friend J. E. REITZEL was circulating among the people of Penfield and vicinity looking after the men who would say "Yes, John, I'll vote for you". We wish him success is all we can do. Feb. 21, 1891. Related to the election for which the candidates were listed earlier. Three hundred and fifty six votes were polled at the election on Tuesday. The Board worked at counting until 1 a. m. The Board say they are going to try to have Huston divided for voting purposes or else they should pay for 2 days work. The people seem bound to elect Hickory men to office whether they want it or no, last year A. R. CONOWAY was thus chosen and this year Theo. C. HOYT. Well Hickory men are better than Basswood men anyhow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, PA, FEB. 21, 1891 Store and Barbershop Go Up in Fire and Smoke Corney SLIFER sleeps in an eastern front room of the Hotel Penfield. About one o'clock Thursday morning he was awakened by light shining on his face. He arose, went to the window and looked out. A blaze the size of a man's hat was bursting through the roof of HUTCHISON & SMITH'S warehouse at the south western corner. Slifer gave the alarm through the house and then hurried to the street. Soon the bucket, ladder and tub brigade swarmed on the streets. The Presbyterian church bell rang and the tannery whistle blew. Capt. Hiram WOODWARD assumed command. AVERY, BIRD, Brugger DAILEY and others who made less noise but possibly did just as much, took hold with a will. There was a woful lack of discipline, but after a liberal use of ox-driving language a bucket line was formed from the fire to Wilson run, and a line of women principally to send back the empties. By this time the roof of the store building was all ablaze and SHIPMAN'S barber shop was wrapped in a warm embrace. Soon the men on the ? roof abandoned their efforts and it was all hands around to soak the Hotel Penfield and the court house of Justice HACKETT. Soon the crisis was passed, and it was evident that if the wind kept quiet, the total consumption would be the store building, the warehouse and the SHIPMAN shop. This is what happened and the fire burned itself slowly out without exciting any more fears of a spread. The two buildings were owned by the CORYELL estate and the SHIPMAN shop by J. L. SCOFIELD. The total loss will reach $10,000 with an insurance of possibly $8,000. Sparks [Note; Almost everyone who submitted items to be published in the paper, except the editor, used an assumed name.

I am glad to inform the people of Penfield that it is a falsehood. I thank my kind friends very much for their kind wishes to encourage me. They must remember there is more than one John BURLEY in the world. Yours respectfully John BURLEY. There has been placed in the High School, this week, eleven very handsome volumes of the library of American Literature. This work contains about 7,000 pages, and represents all the American Authors from the earliest settlers to the present time. The purchase of these books makes the total expenditure of about $125 in the past three years in the high school for books, organ dictionary etc. raised by entertainments and other literary exercises. None of it has come out of the school fund. We would ask the patrons to continue their assistance, and we will soon have a library that will afford many advantages to the pupils in the future. If this work had been commenced ten or twelve years ago, Penfield might now have a library that would compare favorably with any in the county. Contributions of good books to aid the project would be thankfully received, by the teacher and pupils. The best way to prevent the reading of trashy books is to furnish the youth with good books. E. C. SHIELDS WEEDVILLE. Mrs. BURCH is on the sick list. Mrs. WALL'S took a flying trip up the creek on Saturday. Mrs. Ira COCHRAN was laid up with La Grippe last week. Rev. L. M.

BUSKIRK of Winterburn was in town on Wednesday. A Word to Subscribers The ECHO is grateful to you for your taking the paper. While it believes that you get the worth of your money, yet without your support the paper could not be published. It is so easy not to do anything that people are prone to allow their subscription to get in arrears, when a small payment occasionally will keep it up to date, and gladden the editor's heart. If you can spare us a payment by May 1st it will be most gratefully received. The young child of James MIX of East Penfield was buried in Penfield Cemetery on Tuesday. Rev. Saml Ham conducted the services, and T. B. Bouy undertaker. Mary A. McCLINTOCK w/o Samuel, aged 69 yrs, on the Winslow farm near Mt Zion meeting house, Jay Twp., Elk Co. She was the m/o 11 children.

HOVEY. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, APRIL 18, 1891 A patter of many distinctive feet was heard on the golden (?) stairs leading to the ECHO room, the door opened and 1 matron and 3 maidens came in and dispelled the gloom. They were Mrs. H. W. BROWN, Miss Jennie and the 2 Ettas. An unheard of theft occurred this week. When Mrs. Mary HOPKINS went to build a fire in her wash-house on Monday morning, she found the 4 upper joints of her stove pipe missing. The thief is known and he better bring back that stovepipe. To steal is bad, to steal from a poor widow is badly bad, mean business. Wm Henry HEWITT, b 1873. Unfortunately the 1st paragraph is all but unreadable. It seems he was a fireman at the coke works in Tyler. No family members are mentioned. Burial was in the HEWITT Cemetery. Minnie E. WILLIAMS w/o W. A. AUSTIN, b Centre Co 1861 and d at Hoovertown. She was the m/o Zella aged 5 yrs, and Mary aged 3 1/3 yrs. Burial was at Martha Furnace.

On the evening in question about 30 of Mr. NEWELL'S pupils gathered at his home for the purpose of celebrating the close of the school in a manner which was pleasing to all present. The girls added greatly to the pleasure of the party by bringing with them six large elegant cakes, besides other luxuries to numerous to mention. After enjoying themselves for about three hours with games and other amusements the tired and hungry ones were made happy by being served with the fine cakes and many other good things the girls had prepared after which all bade one another a pleasant "good night" and went home.

Erasmus MOREY of Benezette, aged more than 95 years, b in Mass., h/o Eliza WEED, f/o 7 children whose names are not listed. During the long stretch of 78 years living in these parts, it was Father Morey's privilege to witness a wonderful change from dense forest to complete civilization. He had brought the lumber for his coffin to Mr. AVERY, and had arranged his monument at Mt. Zion. But his best monument was a well-lived life. The P. O. S. of A. took the town on Memorial day. Visiting delegations were present from DuBois, Sabula, Winterburn, and Caledonia, and DuBois Commandery, in their fine uniforms, was a great center of attraction. A secret meeting of the order was held in the upper room of G. A. R. Hall in the forenoon. In the afternoon, a fine parade headed by the Alicia Band was had.

THOMPSON'S. A well attended Sunday School, with Billy LANICH Sup't. The reason Geo. STEVENSON can eat so much ice cream is because he has a new boy at home. Jimmy HEYNER is on the convalescent list, having suffered quite severely with the measles and La Grippe. When you have an ice cream party, invite me but don't invite Mr. THOMPSON and Mr. STEVENSON. Time and tide wait for no man, neither does Mr. THOMPSON and Mr. STEVENSON wait for strawberries and ice cream to thaw out. Sings every evening, wonder why Frank HATHAWAY does not attend all of them.

BROWN & Co. manufactures 35,000 cigars a month employing six men. The country up in that section has been a good deal cleared up for farms during a few years past. W. W.

Avery Director in charge and the burial was in Penfield cemetery. Another opening bud of beauty has been transplanted to bloom forever in the Father's garden above. With the free schools again in session one is reminded of the inestimable privileges they give to the children. When the poorest man in Huston, if we have any poor, can get a large family educated by the payment of $1 per year, surely the schools are a cheap blessing to the masses. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VALLEY ECHO, PENFIELD, CLEARFIELD CO., PA, SEPTEMBER 19, 1891 Mrs. E.

It is our painful duty to tell you that this is not the color of our hair.
