| A SurpriseA
pleasant surprise party was given Mr. and Mrs. John Kerr, at their home
near Hermitage, on Monday, November 13th, in commemoration of the
sixty-sixth birthday of Mr. Kerr. The family had persuaded him to drive
to Sharon and upon his return he was surprised to find that his

quietly taken possession of his home and were running affairs suitable
to the occasion. After congratulations and a pleasant time, a sumptuous
dinner was prepared to which all present done ample justice, after
which the guests retired to the parlor. All being seated, G.C. Hofius,
Esq., arose and in a very appropriate address on behalf of the children
and grandchildren, presented Mr. Kerr with an elegant gold watch and
chain and other tokens of respect, and esteem. Mrs. Kerr was also
kindly remembered by her children with suitable presents. The
presentation was responded to by Mr. Kerr and J.C. Gibson. Mr. Kerr was married to Miss Sarah Fry in 1855. From this union The National Fraternal CongressNothing
has done so much to perpetuate and establish the fraternal societies as
has the National Fraternal Congress. This body is composed of the
representatives of the best and most secure, as well as the most
progressive fraternal societies in America, and meets annually to
consider and formulate such plans and methods as the wisdom and
judgment of the leading fraternal men and women of the country may
dictate. None but thoroughly reliable societies are admitted to the
Congress and no one need hesitate to connect himself with any of the
societies composing this eminent body. There are now about fifty
societies in the Congress, with a combined membership of more than
2,000,000, and they have paid in benefits more than $300,000,000. This
is a record to be justly proud of. The societies represented in Sharon
that help to make up this grand honor list are as follows: Ancient
Order United Workmen, Independent Order of Foresters, Knights of the
Maccabees, National Union, Protected Home Circle, Royal Templars of
Temperance, Tribe of Ben Hur, and Woodmen of the World. Pure Water for SharonThe
Sharon Water Works Company has been making some experiments near their
pumping Station north of town, by sinking test pits along the river
bank, with a view of obtaining purer water for the entire supply to
their consumers. No quantity of water could be obtained from this
source and the holes have been filled up. An endeavor is now
being made to get the deep well water from the same strata that our
public wells derive theirs, and an eight-inch well is now being put
down by Lane & Sons, of Franklin. If this should be a success, it
is likely the company will put down a number of them, until a
sufficient supply is obtained. Failing also in this direction some
other plan may be adopted to furnish the town with a pure supply of
water. Needlework Guild Directors’ MeetingThe
directors of the Needlework Guild will meet at the residence of the
Misses Bell, No.5 north Water street, at two o’clock on Tuesday
afternoon next, for the purpose of distributing the articles received

| The Romance Ended Under
the above head the News-Democrat of Canton, Ohio, of Monday, has the
following concerning the marriage of Mr. Frank G. Robison, son of Mrs.
Hattie Robinson, Chestnut street:
Mr. Frank G. Robison and Miss
Mary C. Feicht, two popular and well known Canton young people, are the
leading characters in a little romance. Mr. Robison has for some months
been employed at a local photograph studio. Miss Feicht is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Feicht of High street, and is an accomplished
seamstress. The couple met, became friends, and friendship extended
into love. A few weeks ago Mr. Robison received a letter from his
mother, who lives in Sharon, Pa., which brought matters to a climax.
She is part owner of a large furniture store there and she wanted Frank
to come home to take charge of the business. Frank decided to go. He
went down and arranged matters and last week returned to straighten up
affairs here and get ready to quit Canton for good. Now the young lady
began to be a factor in the situation. Should he go to Sharon and leave
his lady love languishing in loneliness in Canton? Perish the thought!
That would never do.
The couple considered the matter and
finally hit upon what looked like a solution. They would just slip off
slyly to a parson and be married in secret and about the first of the
year they would announce their marriage. A license was issued and the
proper ecclesiastical assistance enlisted and the pair became Mr. and
Mrs. Robison. This was last Thursday afternoon and on Friday Mr.
Robison left for Sharon.

Although
the typewriter is a comparatively recent invention, no other
labor-saving device has received such general acknowledgement of its
merits, and no other machine has demonstrated so thoroughly its
usefulness. Typewriters are now used in all business offices and by
clergymen, doctors, lawyers and men of letters, and we venture to say
that the time is near at hand when the writing machine will be as much
a furnishment of the home as the piano or the telephone.
How
much better the product and how much easier the operation since the
businessman’s correspondence, the author’s manuscript, has been written
by machine. The work is neater, more legible and accomplished with
greater speed.
The first inventions of typewriter were crude
affairs, but there has been continued advancement until the latest
machine is nearly perfect. That there has been great improvement in
typewriters we are convinced by an inspection of the latest, the
Pittsburgh Visible Writing Machine. A representative of the Bindley
Hardware company of Pittsburgh, who are wholesale distributing agents
for this machine, will be at the Carver House on Nov. 24th. He will
meet all who are interested in writing machines and will also secure a
local representative. One of the bright businessmen here would do well
in taking up the sale of this machine.

Shore railroad siding occupied by a draft of cars and lost his footing
and fell into the creek bed below, a distance of 20 feet His jaw was
fractured in several places and the side of his face badly lacerated.

to $25. When found there was $1.85 in his pockets. The coroner is
investigating the case.

cents, which makes the wages of puddlers $5.50, an increase of 50 cents
per ton. This is the highest price paid for puddling since 1880.
