Others, who have paid a State or County tax within two years may be able to swear in their votes, if their names have been overlooked and are not upon the voting list, but the voter who cast his first ballot last year has no possible chance to do this. He has never paid a tax—his name will be upon no dn- plicate, consequently he cannot pay the necessary tax, that he is required to quali- fy bas been paid in order to secure his vote. By failing to register he practically and effectively disfranchises himself. Dem- oorats should remember this and make it their business to know that the name of every young Democrat who voted on age in 1906, is upon the polling list of 1907. And this must be attended to hefore the evening of September 4th. *oe ONE DoLLAR EACH FOR NEWSPAPERS.

Roan made his ap- pearance at the corner wentioned about 3 o'clock. He would go intoa saloon, get a drink, come out and buy a paper of the first newsboy he met, paying $1 for it. Then he would take a walk around the block, get avother drink and buy another paper. When the policeman heard what was going on he went and put Roan under arrest so that he would not squander all bis money. Roan did not know how much he had giv- en away, bat thought it was about $40. He still had $21 left. which will he enough to take him home. — HarRrY RericKk Bapny Hurt.—Har- ry Rerick, rural mail carrier from the Bellefonte postoffice, met with au accident on Tuesday afternoon in which he was so badly injured that he will be laid ap for six weeks or two months. He was coming to Bellefonte from Coleville about 3.30 o'clock in the afternoon and when near the Bellefonte Central railroad freight depot his horse [frightened and ran away.
