HANNAH UPDEGRAFF Mrs. Hannah Updegraff, one of Shippenville's oldest residents, departed this life on Monday evening, September 5, after an illness extending over a good many years.
For almost three years she was confined to her bed, while for the last eleven years she had been more or less of a care to her loved ones. She was born near Shippenville on May 24, 1828, of Phillip and Mary Ohler, and spent her long life in this 'same community, so being very wide ly known. In November, 1950, she was married to Theophilus Updewhich union were born five children, two of whom with her huspreceded her to the spirit world. The children living are A. C.
Updegraff, New Castle; Etta, Pittsburg, and Mrs. Hannah Higgins, of Shippenville, who has cared for her mother SO faithfully during these years. Mrs. Updegraff was the last of ten children one of whom reached the age of 96 years. She united with the Mt.
Zion Lutheran church of Shippenville at the age of 15 under Rev. Witt's pastorate, and was ever since a devoted and active member of that congregation. Always in her place at the various services while in health, with the church and her welfare i in her heart while unable to attend, this congregation feels the loss of a good woman and one who always showed her love for her church. Her patience in tribulation, submission to divine will and her influence upon all classes will not soon be taken away. May the Great Comforter bring peace and comfort to the bereaved hearts.
The funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 in Mt. Zion Lutheran Church of Shippenville, Rev. Chas. Lambert, pastor, fictating. DANIEL M.
DELO. The entire community as well as the family were greatly shocked on Friday evening, August 26, at the sudden death of Daniel Marian Delo Mr. Delo was in his usual health; in the evening he went to his boiler house preparatory to starting his wells to pumping. After he was gone a short time, not hearing the wells pumping, his wife in company with another lady went in search of him. When they reached the boiler house Mr.
Delo was found lying unconscious without a scar upon his body anywhere. He was brought to the house and a doctor summoned but at 11 p. without gaining conscious ness, he succumbed to the grim reap er, death being caused by apoplexy. Mr. Delo was born in Salem township, Clarion July 22, 1838 and died on the farm where he was born, August 26, 1910, aged 72 years 1 month and 4 days.
He was baptized in infancy and united with the Lutheran church at an early age. On May 28, 1887, he with his family by certificate identified himself with St. Marks Reformed Church at Monroe. He served the congregation as elder and deacon. Mr.
Delo was united in marriage with Amelia Kribbs Nov. 6, 1861, anl to them were born ten children, the oldest one dying in infancy. He is survived by his wife, nine children, 15 grandchildren and also by one brother and one sister. The funeral were conduc ted by his H. S.
Nichservices, elson. who spoke words of encouragement from Eccl. 8:8, assisted by Rev. Himes, pastor of the Salem Lutheran Church, from which church the funeral was held, and interment was made in the cemetery nearby. Tuesday 30, 1910.

To add to this Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Craft's little baby has been very sick, and it was feared would not recover, At last accounts it was some better we are pleased to say.

Miss Lyde Jenkins, of Canton, 0., the representative of the Women's American Baptist Home Mission Soofety for Western Pennsylvania, came to Clarion from the Clarion Association at Corsica, on Thursday and remained over Sunday as the guest of Mrs. John A. Magee. Mrs. Magee gave a porch party on Saturday afternoon at which time Miss Jenkins spoke of her work.
She also spoke at the Sunday evening service at the Baptist Church, taking as her subject "Our Perils and Our Problems." She left Clarion on Mon day for Emporium, where this week the Allegheny River Association is in session. The Borough Council has recently made some change in the lighting of our streets by taking out twelve arc lights and putting up fifty, of the better service at a less rate. The Tungsten bracket lamps giving far A Council also passed a resolution offering $25 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone tampering with, breaking or destroying any of these lights, and it is proposed to discover and punish to the limit anybody found guilty of such vandalism, if it is pos sible. Just shortly after these new lights were put up two persons were going home out at the west end of Liberty street and one of the men, having a revolver, shot out one of the lights. The borough will be glad to pay $25 just to discover who that fellow was.
If anybody knows he, or she, can earn $25 easier than turning their hand. Mr. Adam Potter, of Fisher, one of the oldest, if not the oldest man in Clarion county, was in Clarion on last Monday in company with his adopted son, R. M. Spangler and S.
A. Hindman, Esq. Mr. Potter is now in his 95th year and seems hale and hearty in every way except just recently his eyesight has commenced to fail him and he was trying to have glasses adjusted. He came from Center county in 1822, when a lad of six years, to the home of his uncle, known as Uncle Jimmy Potter, and his home has been in this county, ever gave since.

J. Ginader. The shooting of a lad named John Abplenalp, by a colored policeman on the North Side, Pittsburg, on Labor Day, last Monday, seems to have been entirely unprovoked on the part of the boy, and was positively vicious on the part of the policeman whose name is Stanton. It much wonder the crowd wanted to mob him and threatened to lynch him. A girl baby weighing fifteen pounds and fourteen ounces was born last Saturday Sept.
3, to Mr. and Mrs. Michael J. McGinty, of Franklin, Pa. Dr.
H. P. Hammond weighed the child on accurate, scales, and says he believes the record of being the largest girl baby on record. This is the tenth child in the McGinty family. It is quite evident that this is not the one whom it used to be sung: "Down went McGinty to the bottom of the sea." Since J.
M. Long took charge of the Meisinger Hotel last week he is meeting a great many of old friends as well as making many new ones. Mr. Long is a worthy successor to Paul Meisinger, who had the reputation of being one of the best of Clarion's good landlords. Mr.
Long's genial and accommodating disposition will be sure to win many patrons for him here as it formerly did when he was landlord at the House, in Knox. Alexander Burkill, aged 17 years, of Kittanning, found a dynamite cap a couple weeks ago and on the 29th ult. attempted to remove a large stone from the front yard of his home. He placed the cap on the stone and hit it with a hammer. The stone was not affected but the boy lost his right hand.
There ought to be a penalty imposed upon anybody who carelessly leaves dynamite caps lying around. In nearly every instance in which it is done somebody is hurt before the wrong is righted. MRS. SARAH H. KRAUSER.
Mrs. Sarah H. Krauser, one the most highly esteemed elderly ladies of Clarion died last Saturday, Sept. 3, 1910, from a stroke of paralysis. She was 80 years of age just about four weeks ago.
She has lived in Clarion about 19 years. Her husband died in 1881 and was buried in or near Reading, and her body was taken to that place for interment, Hon. and Mrs. J.T Maffett accompanying the remains to their last resting place. A GREAT EXHIBITION.
A meeting of the Directors or Man agers of the Clarion County Fair Association held in the office F. Brown last Monday and the final arrangements were made for the com ing Fair. After going over all the affairs of the association it was the universal opinion that the present outlook for the coming Fair is more favorable than in any recent previous year at this same time. The highest class of attractions in their lines have been secured and six free exhibits will be given on the track in front of the grand stand each day including the most brilliant and dar ing high wire performance ever, wit nessed in this section, the remarkable athletic and acrobatic feats known, with other of intensely interesting character. The races will attract a large body of horses and there is no doubt but some of the greatest speed contests ever held on the track will be run.
There are big promises now for an unusually large display of fine stock and farm products. In all points the outlook is the best. MRS. REBECCA J. POTTER.
Mrs. Rebbecca Jane Potter, wife of Adam Potter, of Fisher, MillCreek township, one of the most highly esteemed ladies of that section of country, passed from labor to reward as the shades of night were falling Sunday, August 28, '10, aged 85 years, 9 months and 4 days. Mrs. Potter and her honored husband had walked side by side as man and wife for sixty years and now her husband survives in loneliness. Their home was not blessed with children and they adopted and reared to manhood R.
M. Spangler, the merchant of Fisher, and he and his family ministered tenderly not only to the departed, but to the aged hus band, member of their home in the 95th year of his age. The deceased 18 survived one brother, Cyrus Thompson, of Scotch HIll, and one sister, Mrs. Robert Hindman, of Brookville, both of whom were present at the obsequies. Mrs.

27, 28, 29 apd 30. The greatest gathering of the sea son took place at Frogtown last Tuesday evening August 30, when the Sir Knights of the Maocabees and their families of Tent No. 170, New Bethlehem, swarmed out to that place and were given a corn supper at the home of Mack Miller by the Sir Knights and friends of that place A large table was built for the occasion and the grounds were lighted by three large gas jets and many lanterns. Seats were arranged at the table for the accommodation of all. The Bees began to gather at 6 o'clock and by nine o'clock there were fully 500 people present.
Bees were present from Oklahoma, Pittsburg, DuBois, Tarentum, East Brady Kittanning, Grove City, Brookville, Rimersburg and Clarion and from places nearer. The supper served was bread and butter, boiled corn, pickles, cold slaw, tomatoes, coffee and cake, but the principal part was the corn, about 20 bushels being used. The entire evening was spent in merry-making. About 11 o'clock the crowd began to separate and to depart for their homes feeling they had spent one of the most enjoyable evenings of their lives. It would have done all good to see the good fellowship existing among the Sir Knights of New Bethlehem.
It is one the foremost tents in the state having a membership of over 520 members and is still growing at a rapid rate, which we hope will con tinue. NOLAN PARK'S ANNUAL. The Annual Harvest Home Picnic and Carnival at Nolan Park on the P. S. C.
R. R. was held last week, but the event was greatly marred by the wet weather as Thursday, that is always the big day, came in threat ening rain and a heavy rain fell just at noon which greatly spoiled a good time for all who were there. There was a large crowd on Thursday considering the reatening wea ther, and no doubt this day would have seen the largest attendance since the opening of Nolan Park had the weather been good, as the threat ening outlook in the morning as well as the rain at noon kept thousands of people away. There was a good crowd there on Friday, which was an ideal day, while the usual Wednesday and Saturday crowds were in attendance.
The Brookville-Clarion base ball game on Thursday was the best ever played at Nolan Park, the game running twelve innings and score being 1 to 1. The game was then called on account of rain but will be played off at Brookville Fair next week. On Friday the New Bethlehem team beat Clarion by a score of 6 to 0. The free attractions were given each day and were enjoyed by all who saw them, although on Thursday it was impossible for them to work in the afternoon on account of wet weather. Prof.
R. L. Watts, of State College, was unable to give his talk on "Farming" on Thursday on account of the rain, but he got acquain ted with a good many of the farmers and others who were there to hear him, and he was very well pleased with his visit and the progressiveness of the farmers. It was through no fault of the NoJan Park Association that the usual line of carnival shows, Indian band, were not present at the carnival this year as advertised, as binding non tract was made with a large rnival company who were thought be reliable, but who cancelled the engagement at the last minute and while the Association spared no pense in their efforts to renlace them it was Impossible to do en with time allowed and It is honed that the public will appreciate the cim. c*mstances.
The large restaurant conducted by the New York Candy Co. was appre clated by everyone. The Clarion hand furnished their usual high class muste and the Bohren Orches tra. of Reynoldsville, furnished the music for the dancing In the pavilton. It is honed that the weather will be more favorable next vear and also that the Association will not have the disappointments to contend with that were experienced this year in the line of attractions.
