Duffy, the Market square photographer, made negatives of the K. G. E arch, and Market square arch on the 4th. and has pictures for sale. They show a good view of Main street in holiday attire.

WHAT "OOUNTRY PAPERS" CAN DO But little over a month ago the Philadelphia clothing house of Brown ing, King & Co. commenced systemat ic advertising in country papers within a moderate radius of Philadelphia. In this short time, the manager of the house states, their country trade al ready shows an increase of about fifty per cent. Since this paper is among those used, we presume our readers have had a hand in this result grati fying alike to Browning, King & Co., and to the papers of whose columns they avail themselves. A PRINTER Di!AD North M. Hartman died at his home in Philadelphia last Sun day. He was a son of th late John Hartman of Buckhorn, a brother of Mrs. Chas. Hasscrt and son in law of G. W. Corell. He learned the printers' trade in the Republican ofiice, and for a time owned the Nan ticoke Sun. For several years he has been employed in the Philadelphia Item. His death was sudden and un expected. His wife survives him. The remains were brought to Blooms burg, and the funeral services were conducted at the residence of G. W. Corell on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. A rat trap containing seven half grown rats was on exhibition in front of Schuyler's store on Wednesday. They were caught at Mr. Schuyler's residence. The trap was one of the French make. Seventeen rats were caught in a larger one of the same kind at the Normal School a few months ago. ' NOW WE SMILE." Under the above headline, in the columns of the Illovtiislnirij Dally and the Democratic Sfntind of July 7th., appeared the following ellusion of a brilliant intellect.: "NOW WK SMIt.K."' "Two red hot binder contests took place Tuesday. The first at Win, Masteller s between the loiinston Con tinental Binder, sold by H. V. White t Co., and the New Deering Binder, sold by D. W. Kitchen. The wheat was very large and badly tangled, the weather rainy, the ground hilly, and both machines were tested to the ut most, but long before noon Mr. Kitch en very gracefully conceded the victory to the Johnston and left the field. After dinner the contest was renew ed at Howard Ohl's between the Johnston and the Osborne, handled by C. H. Bomboy. Here again both machines were thoroughly tried and White & Co. carried oft" the victory. In both cases White & Co. had placed the Johnston Binder ready tor opera tion with a guarantee it would do good work, and the other machine came in to "knock out the Johnston." but they couldn't and "NOW WE SMILE." H. V. Whitk & Co. Moral. Try the Johnston Binder before you buy." Were it not for the malicious mis representation of facts, the article would be beneath our notice. We did not "concede the victory to the Johnston and leave the field." When Mr. Masteller expressed his de sire to test the merits of the two ma chines without the assistance of either agent, we left the field trusting to the integrity of our competitors to do likewise. They however remained upon the premises, and when next we saw our machine, "we smiled" at the re adjustments that had been made after we left the fl'ehf, to make our binder work at a disadvantage. Such an unmanly, contemptible act as that needs no coment from us. In the eyes of a right minded public, it speaks for itself. We always smile from a sincere feel ing ot pleasure. We never purchase our "smiles". Another Binder contest took place on the farm of Joseph Zeisloft, near lerseytown, between the Deering Junior Steel Binder and the Johnston Continental Binder, on July Sth. This time we were wise enough to stand by our machine, and with a "smile that was child-like and bland" we watched the Famous Deering whip the Johnston at every turn ; and we are sorry to record that our competi tors d;d not leave the field and "con cede the victory to us" in a very "grace ful manner". But then we presume the extreme warm weather accounts for the condition of their temper. We desire to express our thanks to Mess. H. V. White & Co., for the as sistance rendered to our customer on Summer Hill, and to assure them that we fully appreciate their kindness. In closing we would bring to the mind of our esteemed competitors the old adage : "He laughs best, wko laughs last " D. W. Kitchen. Mokau When you "smile" be sure to "smile" at the proper time. REPLY TO D. W. KITCHEN. The following letter from William Masteller and his two sons, three of the most reputable men of ihe County and whose character and reputation for honesty and integrity cannot be questioned, explains itself: H. V. White & Co. Gknti.kmkx : After reading the account in ihe blooms liurg Daily of yesterday of the Hinder con test at our place last week we feel tlmt we owe to you n statement of just how this mat ter was When you came, in May last, to sell us a Johnson binder, we agreed that you could set one up on our barn Moor and when the time came we would try it and if it did as good work as any Hinder we would keep it and pay $125.00 for it. Some time after your machine was in our barn Mr. Kitchen came and agreed to pay us $5.00 to get oneof his Deering Hinders to try with yours. We accepted his offer, drought out his hinder, notified you and fixed upon the day for the contest, lioth were on hand as slated and each worked his machine for all it was worth. We did not invite the aijevtn to lent tlteiield an stated, hut did invite you and your men to take dinner with us and you diiL Neither ioh nor your mm, nor tiny one fine "read justed" the Dttriwj Binder in Mr. KilcltritU oh Hence and it was unfair and unkind in him to state that you had done so mean a trick, or tlmt we had riuitted it. The contest was fair and honorable, in the presence of pome twenty-five men, and your Hinder done the best work and run much lighter and we de cided to kee it ind pay the price agreed up on, ($125,011) In fact we could do nothing else, as honorable men, us it had done all we could nsk und you had fulfilled your part of the contract. When Mr. Kitchen came l ack the next day and in your absence we tried his Hinder again, we consented to do so to give him a fair show und in going once around the lield the sheaf carrier failed to carry the sheaves down hill, or 011 sidling ground and when the horse was walking in the grain the machine would not cut six feet wide, and we condemned it and returned it and he paid us us he had agreed. Now this is just how it all was end we think it was wrong and mean for Mr. Kitchen to misrepresent the case. (Signed.) I. II. Mastki.i.EX. V. Cl.AUl) Mastkli.kr, Wm. .M.STi;l.l.H. The above statement must prove conclusively that 1 . W. Kitchen de liberately and maliciously misrepre sented the facts connected with the contest at Mr. Masteller's and "in the eyes of a right minded public, it speaks for itself. We did not represent ilu Johnston Binder at Mr. Zeisloft's as it was out of our territory but we knowfthat Mr. Zeisloft refused to permit a contest on July toh, stating that he had purchased Mr. Kitchen's Binder and would not try any other. He said Mr. Kitchen paid him $5. cash to bring out the Deering Binder, gave him a bale of twine and a truck for his "Famous Deering" Folding Binder. We sub mit that it is much easier to under stand, why Mr. Kitchen sported a "Smile that was child like and bland", than to understand what he meant when he stated "we never pnrriae our smiles" Mr. Kitchen's Summerhill customer, Silas Sliuman, saw Mr. Creveling tugging along a "Famous Deering" with three how, and then saw Mr. McBride cut a wider swath with two small horse in a Johnston and it required no bribe on our part to get him to return the Deering and buy a Johnston, and Mr. Kitchen with the aid of Shuman's father in-law whom he brought from Mifrlinville, could not coerce Mr. Sliuman to re consider and take the Deering. These are the facts m the several cases We hare not cut price on a sinye binder. We are not ashamed of our record. We are sorry to be obliged to reply to the malicious falsehoods used to injure us after the harvest is over. We refer the public to our cus tomers and have nothing more to say. H. V. White & Co. OOUSCIL PROCEEDING!. The regular monthly meeting of the Town Council was held Thursday evening all the members being present with the exception of F. P. Drinker.

Miller appeared before the council and desired them to issue an order to Michael Ohl for $550, the contract price for the Catherine street bridge.
