The People are Going to Make the Next
President.
Col. Henry Watterson in the Forum.
The aspects which frown upon the prac-
tical politician at this moment are of per-
plexity and contradiction. The practical
politician is nothing if not a thick and
thin partisan. His main reliance is the
party discipline. His stock in trade are
the offices. Regularity his shibboleth,
his party label at once the source and re-
source of his authoritv and power, he is
equally without imagination and conviec-
tions. If the way be not straight before
him, he finds himself in the dilemma of
the poor boy of the fable, who, having neg-
lected to learn his letters, could not read
the sign-board when he came to the cross-
ing of the roads.

A wedding in the near future is the latest.
It is not generally known who the parties
are.
Quite a number in this vicinity have been
cutting and housing up ice during the past
cold snap. The ice was solid, clear and
beautiful.
Stern old winter seems to have its back
slightly broken, and the merry jingle of
sleigh bells are not gladdening the ears of
the happy comers and goers, as they have been
for the past two or three weeks, but as that
weather prophetic animal, the ‘ground hog,”
deliberately crawled back into its comforta-
ble abode after seeing the bright sunshine,
we can expect more snow.
Rev. Mr. Wharton, of the M. E. church, is
holding a very successful meeting at the
Kennedy appointment, on this charge.
Some eight or ten persons have been plucked
as brands from the burning and a number
yet at the altar. We hope the good work
may continue until the very ‘‘walls of Zion’’
shall tremble, and the cry go out, “Men and
brethren, what shall I do to be saved.”
On last Friday afternoon our school was
highly delighted on the arrival of a merry
sledload of young people, who proved to be
the Central City grammar school, ac-
companied by their teacher Mr. Sayers.
Quite an enjoyable time was spent in singing,
recitations and social chat. Both schools
thought the time for starting home came en-
tirely too soon. Each party of scholars
hope to meet soon again.
This community was shocked on Tuesday
last on hearing of the sudden death of Mrs.
Mary Carson Shope, wife of Green Shope,
near this place. Mrs. Shope had not been
feeling well, and was sitting quietly talking
to her husband when she suddenly dropped
over dead. This bereavement is made
doubly sad, as she left a babe only four
weeks old. We sympathize with the friends
of the departed, but words of ours are of no
avail in suffering of this kind. The ways of
God are so different from what we
would have, could we have our way.
For truly we best see through a glass darkly,
and would say with the poet—
“Love beyond the orient meadows,
Floats the golden fringe of day,
Heart to heart, we bide the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away.”
Mrs. Shope was a christian lady, having
been a member of the Lutheran church for
a number of years; and there is no doubt
her freed spirit is safe in the home where
many mansions be. The funeral ser-
vices were conducted in the Evangelical
church, by Rev. Seachrist and Hiney.
Pine Grove Mention.
Merchant O. B. Krebs has been confined to
his room for the last week.
A. M. Brown, our lumber king and stock-

Next Tuesday is election day. Democrats

an excellent ticket.
J. G. Miller has recovered from an attack
of typhoid fever sufticiently to resume his
law studies at Carlisle.
Mrs. Frank Smith is seriously ill with
heart trouble at the home of Mrs. Ella Smith,
on Water street.
G. Y. Meek, of Tyrone, spent most of last
week on his plantation at Fairbrook, arrang-
ing for the erection of some new buildings.
In our last letter we noted the sale of Ard
& Co.’s mill property. The dicker has been
on hand for several weeks but is not conclud-
ed and not likely to be.
Postmaster Miller is daily waiting to have
his head decapitated. Maggie Gates, Davy
Barr, John Hess, D. H. Weaver and J. G.
Heberling all hope to succeed him.
Rev. C. T. Aikens has gone to Hanover to
see his father-in-law, who in all probability
will never be any better on account of his
extreme age. Mrs. Aikens has been with
her father for some weeks.
L. W. Walker has laid aside the hammer
and tongs because he has to propel himself
on a pair of crutches. His leg is badly
crushed but we know he will be able to get
out to the election.
Rev. A. A. Black brought his meeting to a
close, last Sunday evening, with a song and
praise service. A well trained choir in charge
of Prof. D. H. Meyers rendered excellent se-
lections to the gratification of a crowded
house. Houserville, State College and Boals-
burg were well represented and many could
not be admitted.
A SAD DEATH. — The sudden death of
William Arthur Bailey at the home of his
father, Wm. H. Bailey, near town, on last
Sunday morning, was a great surprise and
shock to the entire community, We are con-
stantly reminded in the midst of life there is
death, but oh ! how loath we are to ass®iate
it with a bright young life useful and
needed.
Arthur with his wife had come home from
Pitcairn, near Pittsburg, where he has been
employed for some years, for a visit to his
people and a short vacation, but the out-
come of his visit was the most unexpected
thing that could have happened. He was in
the very best of health and on the day pre-
vious to his death told the writer that he
had never taken medicine because he had no
reason for doing so. He spent Saturday
evening with a number of his chums and
went home with his father, laughing and
talking, without a thought of the nearness of
his end. Shortly after retiring he complain-
ed of a severe pain in his head and before Dr.
Woods, who was summoned immediately,
could get there he had passed beyond all hu-
man help. He died in the room in which he
was born 32 years ago and in those years he
had done much that was good and beneficial,
He was a carpenter by trade and in addition
had built up a good business in slate roofing.
He was a member of the Presbyterian church,
the A. P. A. and the Jr. O. U. A. M., of Pit-
cairn and was held in high esteem by all his
associates.
His wife, who was Celia Shots, of Pitcairn,
his parents, his brothers and sisters and his
large circle of friends have the consciousness
of knowing that it is well with him for he
was faithful with the talents given him. He
was buried Tuesday, the 8th,in the Graysville
church yard. Rev. Hepler conducted the
services, which were in charge of the I. 0.
O. F. with the other lodges, to which he be-
longed, assisting. A letter of condolence was
read from his pastor Rev. J. H. Porter, of
the Presbyterian church at Pitcairn. The
pall bearers were O. E. Liggit, R. L. Pollock,
W. B. Tenney, J. G. Fleming, Wm. Cuning-
ham and W. N. Agnew all fellow lodgemen
from Pitcairn. The funeral was one of the
largest the valley has had for years.
Vick’s Garden and Floral Guide.
The annual catalogue sent out by the old reli-
able seed establishment of James Vick’s Sons,
comes to hand in a dainty and tasty cover of blue,
pink, yellow and orange. The Golden Lily, the
Pink Daybreak Aster, a brace of blue birds, and
the artistic lettering in black, blue, green, erim-
son and gold, all in harmonious combinations,
make a cover of exquisite design and appearance.
Many of the illustrations are fine half-tones. Four
handsome colored plates of ™egonias, dahlias,
nasturtiums and sweet peas add to the attractions.
The list of seeds and plants covers a large and
varied assortment, including nearly everything
that can be desired for the garden, the lawn, the
greenhouse. Valuable new varieties are offered
as well as the thoroughly tried and proved stand-
ard sorts. Vieck’s novelties are noted for their
uniform excellence.
In vegetables the Gradus pea is a great advance
over all other “extra early” varieties. The Jones
Wax Bean is an essential gain in that line. Potato
growers are offered the “White Beauuy” as a new
variety with model qualities, combining size,
high quality and great productiveness. But it is
impossible here to note the many valuable offer-
ings of this firm in fruits, flowers and vegetables.
If you are not a customer of this firm send for
their catalogue. Itis free to all applicants. Ad-
dress James Vick’s Sons, Rochester, N, Y.
