John Brink of lower Sugarloaf. died last Thursday morning aged about 51 years and was interred in the Ham iline cemetery. Rev. Wm. Mather preached the funeral sermon at the Ravencreek church. O. E. Little, watch maker and jeweler, of Benton is on the sick list. He complained hard for about a week. He was in his shop a little while last Saturday afternoon. He is an earn est, energetic, and congenial towns man. J. C Tubbs of Elk Grove landed at this place last Saturday evening. The cold snap at present would in dicate that winter in reality is on hand. If such should be the case and a solid freeze up continue, a wa ter famine will be one of the inevitable consequences. Typhoid fever has prevailed in some localities to an alarming ex tent and was attended with almost universal fatality. Dr. Carey the druggist of Benton, is meeting with favorable and gener al recognition as a skillful druggist and physician. It appears that the bicycle is forced to retire to winter quarters. That vehicle is a poor roaster in the muddy and frozen seasons and no roadster at all in time of snow. Buckwheat cakes are all the more delicious for the reason that the buck wheat crop was short. A great many people will be obliged to use them like preserves or deserts. The man who inquires, "are there any pretty girls over your way?" is either a lunatic or' a dude. Who ever knew of a locality that was pro ductive of girls at all, was not also productive of pretty girls. There is a lull in the general activ ity of the world's progress.

Jacob Terwilliger and wife spent a few days in Danville visiting friends the past week. Miss Ollie Hartraan of Espy, spent a few clays with A. F. Terwilliger's family. H. E. Heacock and wife are con fined to the house from heavy colds. "Dad says its equal to any of the twenty-five dollar ones in market." That is the new secretary and book case. B. W. Drake has secured the ser vices of a new hand in the paint shop. Miss Phoebe Shew is still confined to the house, from an attack of ma larial fever. Harvey Robert who has been very low with rheumatism is now convales- ing. John Hartman spent a few days at Williamsport the past week with his i .1 oroiner. Forks. Thanksgiving day opened up aus piciously, the sun bloomed in his best effulgence, putting in fine work all day. The air was bright, crisp and every body with their wives, children, rela tions and friends went to Benton to witness the procession of the P. O. S. of A. They went by cars, private conveyances and on foot. The town was full of people all day. It was a gala day for Benton and her hotels. The ,procession came off with a great deal of credit, and the beautiful flag the P. O. S. of A. hung over the town sent a thrill through every patriot heart. It is proposed to. establish a camp there, and we feel confident there is enough intelligent love of country there to establish one. Jonestown is a new camp and now it is a strong prosperous one. Ber wick can boast of a very strong camp, somewhat older however, and owns the Opera House there. And so are these camps all over the country and with other organizations they would be formidable when our institutions of civil and religious liberty are in peril. This P. O. S. of A. organization in volves the principles of our Republic along with the G. A, R. "No better order exists, none more wide awake, and none more formidable. Our young men everywhere are enlisting under its banner men like those who enlisted in the armies for the Union and bore our banner through the smoke of lour battle burdened years till it waved in beauty over fallen Richmond and at Appomattox Court House. The veterans are thinning out. Nearly 30. years have elapsed since the close of the war but the Sons of Veterans, P. O. S. of A. and some other patriotic organizations are a strong bulwark in the defense and perpetuity of our Republic. We hope to hear of a strong P. O. S. of A. camp at Benton, and we trust these camps will keep on increasing throughout our land. There are certain valid reasons why these organizations should exist. They are as palpable as the Alps covered with perpetual winter. No church shall rule the state ; no oliga.chies, no plutocracy. Any or all of these are the sworn enemies of the Republic. No Republic can exist where the people are enslaved. "Eter nal Vigilance is the price of liberty," and by the virtue and intelligence of the people we are sustained. This latter is an cphoiism of the Declara tion of Independence and it is just as true to clay as when Thos. Jefferson incorporated it in that immortal in strument. While Benton has picked up largely during the lust decade, 6he is slow to bjcoine a borough. Her streets need grading, her board walks full of holes, and the road leading from Still ater into Benton is in a lamentable condition. The wire bridge leading to the Post Office here is still among the dreams of the luture. l.cho answers "when wilt inis bridge be built ? We had a deep, .'amp snow on last Satutday night that manufactured a large supply of mud. Miss Mattie Krcamer, of Waverly, N. Y., is visiting her two aunts here. "When I was a Boy," Writes Postmaster J. C. Woodson, Forest Hill, W. Vn., "I lnul abron chial trouble of such a persistent nnd stubborn character, that the doctor pronounced it Incurable with ordinary medicines, nnd advised me to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.

We visited Nanticoke recently and on our route we passed through Hunt ington Mills : found Bruce Coleman in the hotel business and is getting along finely. Bruce is well known in Bloom, Berwick and Wilkes-Barre, who was some years ago identified with newspapers. Bruce makes a good landlord and runs a good hotel. We stopped at Shickshinny and found landlord T. F. Moyer running the old Yapie House in good shape. Wm. Unangst took a large load of poultry and pork to Nanticoke last week. Nanticoke is running on full time ; her business men on the go, and the town is lively. At Nanticoke we met our old friend Mr. Harter, of Nescopeck, who is running a thriving business in the livery line and furniture. His stables are stocked with the best of carriages and horses in constant demand and on Main street he has an elegant sup ply of every variety of furniture the best the market affords. Nescopeck is well represented in Nanticoke. POSTPONEMENT. The dedication of the Heller's Re formed Church was postponed until Sunday, Dec. 10th.

Funeral services were held Thursday morning at io:ooo'clock under the direction of the order of American Mechanics. Two sons, John D. Jones and Moore Jones, and a daughter Mrs. Kate Sheep survive him. Jackson Township Sunday Sohool Institute, That much interest is taken in the Sunday school cause in our rural dis tricts was fully manifested at Waller on Saturday afternoon and evening of last week when pursuant to announce ment able speakers met to discuss methods of Sunday school work and a large attentive audience assembled to learn more about the ways of doing the most good. In the afternoon after the usual preliminaties, Myron Low, President of the county association gave Rome excellent advice on How to build up the Sunday school, which was follow ed by recitations by Misses Carrie Carpenter, Lulu Hirleman, and Mr. Oscar Christian. Mr. 1 1. M. Bow er, of Berwick then in his usual lively way explained Teaching the lesson to Beginners. Tast and pres ent of the Sunday school was the sub ject of an interesting essay by Miss Aivcrda ii.verhart, alter which was a recitation by Miss Aivcrda Butt. At the evening session, after spend ing some time in song service, Mr. Bower spoke on Work outside the school room. This was highly in structive and should receive more at tention. More recitations followed by Misses Mary Butt, Annie Forn wald and Lizzie McIIenry. Mr. Low of Lime Ridge lectured on Mistakes in teaching, and in the course of his remarks asked questions of the audi ence which made it more helpful and entertaining. Miss Ella McIIenry read a very interesting essay on Who should attend the Sunday school? Miss Lizzie Hirleman and Mr. Dane Carpenter spoke appropriate selections and then the question box was looked after and the questions answered. The township president, J. Preston Yorks, next made some announce ments in regard to visiting the Sun day schools throughout the township the following day, which by the way, were a dead letter on account of the severe snow storm.
