"Frederick WHITELY, of '84, a village and station on the B. and O., six miles north of Washington, was here Monday. That place was called '84 because the post office was established there in 1884-a stroke of genius that is without a parallel in the history of nomenclature. Mr. WHITELEY is a country reporter for the Daily Reporter and he goes about writing up and writing down things." [italics and underlining added] |

STOCKDALE
"On the 18th, at Washington, of heart trouble, John M. STOCKDALE, aged 74 years. Deceased was a widely known attorney and Democratic politician. He was an able speaker and writer. For some years he was owner and editor of the Review and Examiner, but did not succeed very well financially in journalism because he was not appreciated by the masses, and at that time this modern, "yellow", base-ball, Jenny-went-to-town style of newspaper was beginning to carry the people all off their feet, and it was again proven that these generations can not be persuaded to eat wholesome bead while bad whiskey and poisonous candy can be obtained."

"Half a day was spent in Noblestown, one of the oldest towns in the country, and here's what was reported by a writer for the Argus (the forerunner of the Outlook and Record-Outlook).
This town is said to have been founded before Pittsburgh. For a hundred years or more Noblestown has been known throughout Western Pennsylvania, and yet at no time has there been a population to exceed 800, and at present there are not more than 600. This town in old times was notorious far and wide as "a very bad place." Liquor was free and gambling and fighting were
daily occurrences. But churches and schools have done their work and now Noblestown will in morals and manners compare favorably with any place of its size in the State. Many
French and Belgian miners are here, a frugal and industrious people, and many of them are buying homes for themselves.
The coal works in the vicinity are, however, not running more than one-third time. There is one mail each way each day. Boardwalks are scares and except
in fine weather the mud encountered by the pedestrian reminds him of McDonald. There are here
the National Coal Company store, and those of HOFFMAN,
WACKER, Mrs. ELLIOTT, and the novelty store and bakery of Mrs. COLLINS. The public school has two rooms, over 100 pupils, David TAYLOR being principal. The Methodist Episcopal church has a comfortable chapel.
There are over 100 members. The Rev. Mr. HATFIELD of Midway preaches there every Sunday morning and at Midway every Sunday evening. There is here also a United Presbyterian church that worships on the site of the old Seceder church. They have no regular pastor, but are supplied every Sunday. The
Rev. Father GALLAGHER of the St. Patrick's Catholic church resides near the church and took us through the new church, which under his supervision has undergone many improvements. The church is finished in the best of taste, and everything is arranged in a style pleasing to the eye. The ventilation
is first-class, and this can be said of but few church buildings. This is one of the strongest church organizations in the valley, the membership being over 1000. Father GALLAGHER superintends missions at
Bulger, Montour, and Imperial and he is recognized as one of the most energetic, persistent, and effective workers in the country. Rents are not so high as in McDonald.
