Sale Register. The Chronicle bas the largest circulation of any paper in this section, and is, therefore, the best advertising medium.

except Saturday evenings. David Kough. Instantly Killed. Mr. David Kough, who at one time had charge of Mr.

J. Clark Stuart's farm, near Middle Spring, and who was well known in this section, was struck and instantly killed at Oakville on Monday by the C. V. passenger train which passes Shippensburg for Harrisburg about nine o'clock in tbe morning. He was a well known farmer and was highly respected.

He leaves a wife and live children. From the Sentinel we learn the following particulars Mr. Kough was sitting upon the store porch talking to P. G. McCoy and others when he heard tbe train coming.

He started at once for his team on the opposite side of the track. Just as he reached the track the train was at hand. The men at the store called to him not to try to crobs.and had started to run after him. At the side of the track he stopped, and one step backward would have saved his life, but he seemed paralyzed and stood still. He was just so close to "tie track that the large timber which carries the cow catcher struck him in the abdomen, tearing out his bowels and throwing him forty feet.

The train did not run over him, Mr. McCoy, who was the first man upon tbe scene, turned the man over, but he was dead. He was also badly injured about the head and legs. The train was stopped and run back to the station, and that was the first intimation the passengers had that an accident had occurred. The body was carried into the depot and physician and the coroner summoned.

The railroad company took charge of the remains. The deceased was a native of Huntingdon county and bo far as can be learned his father is still living. He lived for some years near Mt. Holly and has several children burled there. He afterward lived on a farm at Huntsdale, just opposite the saw mill at that place.

For some years past he resided on the Ellen Patterson farm near Oakville. He was an industrious and upright citizen and right well-to-do. He owned some property In Huntingdon county at the time of his death. He was of kind disposition and had many friends. Readtmade Clothing of all kinds and at the lowest prices at Hollands.

The Grand Free Street Parade. The pageantry of ancient Rome and the displays of all modern times are actually surpassed by the grand free street parade of the Cook Whitby show. It is a diili-cult task to attempt a description of this splendid portion of the Cook Whitby show, especially in a coolly written publication such as this is intended to be. It has been the purpose of the writer to avoid the slightest tinge of exaggeration in all tbe statements made in this, and thus it is that a description of this parade is di Ill-cult, because a truthful enumeration of its almost innumerable attractions would seem exaggerated, so much greater and grauder than tbe attractions of usual 6treet parades are they; therefore the reader must be contented now with the plain mention of only a portion of the features of the grand free street parade, and see for themselves the rest.

G. Hale brought to the ollice of The Chronicle a tomato weighing two pounds and two ounces. The tomato was grown in the Major's own garden and he has many more large ones, but none quite so enormous as tbis specimen. A portion of this vegetable was served up to the editor for dinner on Sunday and' we are quite willing to testify that the quality was as fine as the quantity wjis great. The flesh was firm and solid all the way through.

We have seen notices in different papers of one tomato weighing one and a half pounds, and in another case of three tomatoes aggregating nve pounds in weight, but so far we are several ounces ahead.

(jive as the morning that flows out of heaven; Give as the waves when their channel is riven; Give as the free air and sunshine are given; Lavishly, utterly, carelessly give. 2st the -waste drops of the cup overflowing. ot the faint sparks of thy hearth ever glowing, "ot a pale bud from the June rose's blowing; Give as lie gave thee, who gave thee to live.

Pour out thy love like the rush of a river Wasting its waters, forever and ever, Through tbe burnt sands that reward not the giver; Silent or songful, thou nearest the sea. Scatter thy life as the summer shower's pouring! What if no bird through the pearl rain is soaring? What if no blossoms look upward adoring? Look to the life that was lavished for thee! Give, though thy heart may be wasted and weary. Laid on an altar all ashen and dreary; Though from its pulses a faint miserere Beats to tby soul tbe sad presage of fate, Find it with cords of unshrinking devot-tion, Smile at the song of its restless emotion; 'Tis tbe stern hymn of eternity's ocean; Hear! and in silence thy future await. So the wild wind strews its perfumed caresses, Evil and thankless the desert it blesses. Bitter the wave that its soft pinion presses Never it ceaseth to whisper and sing.

Wha if the hard heart gives thorns for tby roses? Wbat if on rocks thy tired bosom reposes? Sweetest is music with minor-keyed wloses, Fairest the vines that on ruin will cling. Almost the day of thy giving is over; Ere from the grass dies the bee haunted clover Thou wilt have vanished from friend and from lover. What shall thy longing avail in the grave? Give as tbe heart gives whose fetters are breaking. Life, love, and hope, all tby dreams and thy waking, Soon heaven's river thy soul-fever slaking, Taou shalt know God and the gift that he gave. Eoe Terry Cooke.

These magnificent structures on wheels repre sent important events in the world. Beauteous ladies and handsome gentlemen, costumed in gorgeous attire ot olden days, recline beneath silver panoplies, or stand in armors or steel and silver as heroes of medi.cval times. There are six open dens of wild beasts, each containing the human master of each den, and showing how, even in the excitement of the throng, man can control tbe fiercest of tbe brute creation. There is a congress of nations, grouped up- mammoth floats. and representing correctly in color and Ircss every race and nationality of people on the globe.

There are cavalcades of knights and ladies en route to tbe tourna ment; there are groups of masqueraders and harlequins and clowns; there are bands of plantation jubilee singers, filling tbe air with their pathetic ballads, wierd hymns and mirthful shouts. There are five bands of music, which make the very atmosphere throb with the richest harmo nies; there are bagpipers, Irish pipers, Tyrolese warblers and musicians of all countries. There are hundreds of other features which cannot be enumerated here and above all floating the flags and banners of all nations. Tbe glittering gold, the sheen of silver, the glistening of gems. tbe shimmering of silks and satius, the kaleidoscope of color, all cbarm the eye; the blare of the bands, the crash of the drums, the songs of the singers, tbe joy ous shouts of tbe darkies, tbe plaudits of the populace, entrance the ear, and all go to make up a grand holiday wherever the Cook Whitby show appears.
