HOLLIDAYSBURG On account of being considered a very unlucky day, Friday is always a poor one at the marriage license booth at the courthouse. Often times a blank is recorded on that day and it is a rare thing for more than one or two licenses to be issued. But yesterday was very different to the rule, as seven couples applied for the necessary papers to wed, having no fear of the jinx. On account of sickness in the pastor's home, there will be no Sunday school services nor church services in Zion Lutheran church on Sunday. Oliver J. Dixon, general secretary of the Hollidaysburg YMCA, has purchased the Williams McKillip property on North Union street, lately vacated by Mr. Warner who removed to Texas. Mr. Dixon and family will take possession of their new home in a few days. The annual farm products show held at the court house at Hollidaysburg this week came to an end yesterday afternoon. The finest apples were boxed and sent to State College to be exhibited there today; Pennsylvania Day. The rest of the apples were sent to the Industrial Home at Williamsburg where the children will feast upon the fruit. The potatoes and corn were returned to their owners. Many people visited the show during the week and it is was generally pronounced the best ever held in the county. The Union Thanksgiving service will be held on Thursday, November 25th, at the Presbyterian church. The sermon will be preached by Rev. Stanley Kemp, D.D., of the Lutheran church and a special music program will be rendered. Mrs. Emma Harter of East Waterford, Pa., has returned home after a visit to her son, Rev. E. E. Harter, pastor of the Methodist church. Thomas W. Ernest of Pittsburg was a business visitor in town yesterday. St. John's Reformed church, Rev. George A. Ehrgood, pastor.

Merle Dean Varner and Miss Nannie Rebecca Hunt, both residents of Johnstown, were united in marriage by Justice of the Peace C. Irwin Lewis, at his sanctum on Allegheny street, yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. The bride is a very estimable young woman and the man of her choice is a popular carpenter. At the conclusion of a wedding trip, the newly weds will take up housekeeping in the Flood City. Sinking Valley Mrs. Hartshorn, widow of Brigadier General Ross Hartshorn, of the Civil war, who has been a guest at the Presbyterian manse, returned to Clearfield on Monday to cast her vote. She was accompanied by her grandson Walter H. Harnish. Mr. and Mrs. John Whitaker and daughter, Miss Marian, of Harrisburg, were over Sunday guests with their kinsfolk at the Presbyterian manse.
