A Bedford county giri re cently gave her occupation as ' helping mother." There should be more girls apprenticed to that trade. Frank I'. Lynch who was nom inated for school director at the Democratic primaries, has de clined to allow his name to be placed on the ticket, and the com mittee have substituted that of Mrs. Sallie M. Cook. That Mrs. Conk is in every way most capable of tilling the office, goes without a question. .James J. Logan, an aged citizen of Dillsburg, Adams county, boarded a train for Harrisburg last Saturday, and when the con ductor came to punch his ticket ho inquired of the old gentleman as to his health.

May and family left Everett for California ou Monday of last week. Mr. May is a native of Whips Cove this county, and started out "teaching public school." As soon as he had saved money enough he wont away and took a course at a business col lege. Being an excellent penman, a well as a good book-keeper, he 8(rL.red a position in Everett's leading store. To make a long story short, by a mixture of in tegrity, economy, and capability, he afterward became one of the partners in the firm; and later was tempted by a uice salary to become superintendent of a large tinning company, a position he held until the health of his family became such that he believed a fhauge of climate would prove beneficial.

The practice of keeping things out of the paper makes it very difficult for any newspaper to do its duty and give all the news. There is hardly a week in the year when newspapers are not called upon to suppress some news item. Men will even ask and expect an item of news to be suppressed when the entire com munity is already talking about it. The Presbyterian Creed Revis ion commitee decided Holiday in Philadelphia, to recomrnand the elimination from the Confession of Faith of the statements that works done by unrefcenerate men are sinful; that it is a nin to refuse an oath, and the Jfope is a man of sin.
