Now that an opportun­ ity i- given you to attend a meeting at home, gotten up in your interest, embrace tiie opportunity and be with us on that day. Remember that It is not tbe presence ot the teachers alone that Is desired. but all others who feel or take an active interest in school matters are urged to be present. Let uarents lay aside home work and spend the day at the school house, that they may become thoroughly awakened to their duties and to the efiorts which teachers are putting forth for the ad- vancemest of their children.

The business men these days who succeed without advertising are tew and far between.-- Inter Ocean, AM observant farmer Bays: "This is the worst fall for farmers that I ever jiaw. Storms come in so frequently between every pleasant time that the land Is in no condition to work; tbe stacks in no condition for threshing and the roads In no condition for trav- eling." A leading grain dealer says: "In twenty years of grain buying I have never seen grain come in in such bad condition as this fail, Nearly all of it is damp, and needs constant watching to prevent its spoiling on one's hands." Doh't fall to attend the entertain ment at Riverside Hall, Tuesday even < lag, November 17th, took place at the residence of Mrs. J. 1. Story one day week before last. There tfere nine babies present, and they were all fine ones, too, fit to represent any community at a World's Baby Show. They represented both sexes, and varied in ages from six months to week, promises to be the best ever played by,fiat club. They have a reputation second to no amateur club In this section, and all who go and hear them on Friday and Saturday evenings will be sure to bo pleased. The enter­ tainment is for the beneilt of the Ringwood Band. J The strong, bitter, sooty odor fre­ quently detected in the atmosphere, tells that some chimney in the neigh borhood is on fire, and that its burning out endangers adjoining property. Old fire flues, in which the mortar has been eaten away by the acids of the smoke, and now ones which botchy builders have constructed, when roaring red-hot from the burning out process, are never safe things to have in the house. They should have special attention when on fire, and ?o should the neigh­ boring roofs. /frank C.

During the past two months thous­ ands have viewed this monster panor a<na daily, and Gettysburg is to-day more than ever our pride, and favorite resort ot every stranger in the city Somo foolish managers of poor shows have attempted to draw public atten­ tion to their mediocre exhibits by simply circulating statements, saying that the PaiiotVma of Gettysburg Was going to be removed, etc., etc., which of courserare nothing* but falsehoods. The unanimous verdict to-day is: that the Gettysburg Picture of our city is the finest and most realistic reproduc tion of any battle ever presented in the world. It is the largest-of its kind covering nearly 25,000 square feet of canvas,*and it took 22 noted artists nearly 2 years to finish this great work of art. Some pafties (scenery painters) have tried to paint pictures of this size in this country inside of six weeks but naturally have failed in thHr efiorts. It is the best paying enter­ prise of the kind in the world, having paid to its stockhqlders 150 per ceut in dividerds inside of eighteen months.-- Chicago Paper.

Pond, Everett House, New York The First Steel Pen Makers- The word Pen. in Holy Scriptures refers to either an iron style, or to a reed ; the latter being the earliest form of pen used for writing on papyrus. One of the earliest attempt* to make steel pens Is attributed to Wm. Gad- bury, England, who, for his o.vn use* constructed a clumsy article from the main spring of a watch. Steel Pens were first brought Into usg about tbe year 1803. James Perry, of London, commenced to manufacture pens in 1824, and was the founder of the firm named Perry & Co., who are now theJargeat mak­ ers In the world Their celebrated "U" and Falcons for correspondents, and fine points Nos.
