Mrs. Pickett Coming



The next number in the Y. M. C. A. lecture
course will be the appearance here next Wednesday night of Mrs. L. C. Pickett,
widow of the Civil War general who led the charge from the woods at Gettysburg across the open fields to the celebrated
“bloody angle.” Mrs. Pickett was but 18
years of age at the time of the battle of Gettysburg, although she was then the bride of Gen.
Pickett. Her reminiscences of the Civil
War and particularly of the fight at Gettysburg where the Confederates so nearly bested the
northern soldiers have received the approbation of the boys in both blue and
gray.

Next Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Pickett is to
be tendered a reception in Ebensburg and the entire membership of the local
Grand Army post will attend. Her lecture
will be delivered in the courthouse Wednesday evening.









Nine Families
Quarantined



An epidemic of measles has resulted in the
quarantine of nine families in Cambria Township, about three miles north of Ebensburg. In addition to having to quarantine his own
family, Health Officer, D. L. Owens, has quarantined the following families: Harry Black, David E. Evans, Ellsworth Davis,
Jonathan Reese, B. S. Williams, Charles Knorr, Edward W. Davis and Mrs. Sarah
Mahan. About twenty-five children are afflicted with the disease but all are
reported to be getting along nicely. The
epidemic seems to have started in what is known as the “Sawmill” Township schoolhouse,
where all of the children afflicted were attending. The epidemic put the school out of business
by reason of the temporary withdrawal of so many of its pupils.
