Rode on Their Wheels.
Saturday morning at four o’clock, a number of our young folks left Jeannette on their wheels, bound for Kissell Springs, a distance of thirty-six miles. At 9:30 they breakfasted at Ligonier, having made the thirty mile run in five and one-half hours. {text illegible} reached their destination later, very tired but still enthusiastic. They returned home Tuesday afternoon by rail, and all were pleased with the manner in which they had spent their glorious Fourth. Those of the party were the Misses Lilly Blaze, Nellie and Elizabeth Pearsall, Messrs. Joe Blaze and Fred Ewald.

A New Society Formed
A number of young ladies of Jeannette have founded a society, for the purpose of exploring nature, the society is known as the K. C. P.'s and every Thursday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, they leave town in an animated body for the woods and fields.
The society pin adopted by the young ladies is star shaped, with the letters “F. P. C.” encrusted upon it in green and gold. When the summer has gone, and bleak winds take the place of sunshine, it is the intention of this society to spend their Thursday afternoons in their cozy homes trying to out rival nature and her many beauties on fancy work and art squares. The members are: Misses Lilly Blaze, Jennie Jones, Minnie Carle, Carrie Merrell, Belle Doty, Elizabeth and Gertrude Pearsall and Dorothy Hill.
