Cunningham, of New Grenada, completed their tour around the County last week. While they collected over nve thousand dol lars, they did not have much mon ey with them at any one time on account of .the precaution of de positing their surplus with the Hancock Bank, and with mer chants and others, as they pro gressed on their tour. When it is considared that the amount of County tax to be collected is lit tle over ten thousand dollars; dog tax about six hundred, and State tax, something over eleven hun dred, the amount paid in shows that there is plenty of money in the County. The showing would be much better, but most of the taxpayers in Ted, the Borough and Ayr do not go to the trouble of meeting the treasurer on his annual tour, but drop in when they are in town and pay it, thus saving a little time. Everybody that has not yet paid, has until the 28tli of July to pay it to the treasurer and save the five per cent. Tax is a thing that has to be paid, and it is not good busi ness to let it run until the com mission is off, and costs added; and yet, there are a few people who do that little thing every year.

This is the time of year when all who are gifted with health, and strength turn to the great Out doors to revel through the com ing mouths in Summer sunshine, in balmy air, in the colors and odors of ilowers and in the bless ed green of fields and woodland. Yet while Spring briugs joy and pleasure to the world at large, it forecasts only added discomfort to the invalids who are shut in their rooms. To thousands who are permanently confined, per haps to some in this very neigh borhood, Summer does not mean sweeping views of hillside and valley, delightful scent-laden breezesor rambles through shady lanes. It means only comfortless nights and days in bed or wheel chair, cooped up in a narrow room where the air is hot and stifling, without hope or relief. The report of the Pennsylvania Branch of The Shut in Society, just received, states that this branch alone numbers G.")4 Shut- ins in Pennsylvania, Virginia, W. Virginia and Kentucky. The Shut-in Society was or ganized in New York City in IS77 for the purpose of bringing cheor and comfort into the lives of the sick and lonely. It provides the invalids with reading matter, cheerful correspondents, birth- ofay and Christmas cards, air cushions, hot water bags, etc. Sick room appliances, such as wheel chairs, bed rests, bed ta bles, rocking chairs, are loaned to those who need them. Ex changes for the sale of the work of the invalids are maintained by the Branch and by this means many are enabled to obtain the necessities of life. This Society presents an op portumty for anyone who wishes to take part in this work of mak ing afflicted live&more endurable. New associate or active members are desired who will correspond with the invalids and visit those in their neighborhoods. Dues are $1.00 a year. The Pennsylvania Branch also wishes to know ot any invalids in these four States to whom the Society could bung good cheer. The dues oi Shut ins are twenty five cents a year, which sum cov ers the subscription to the Open Window, the magazine of the So ciety. All inquiries in reference to the work ot the Branch and contri butions towards its support, will bo gladly received and promptly acknowledged if sent to its office, 1710 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, addressed to the President, Miss Mary Parker Nicholson. Sample copies of the Open Window and the Quarterly, published by the Branch, will also be mailed on request Chas. R. Steach, Siiri'i'ssor to Stench tV Thompson.
