Jack Frost tried his hand with his trump can! last Saturday night and cooked tilings up generally. It may be said that we have been well blessed with refreshing rains the past season, but we never saw the small streams lower than at this writing. Notwithstanding the frost and other signs of inclemency the corn didn't become shocked worth a cent. Fall seeding is only fairly com menced. While many are done others have not yet begun. " Seed time and harvest shall never fail." In fact people are always sowing and reap ing. Game is exceedingly scarce. We have seen but one pheasant in six months and but two quail in a year. We have not heard a dozen gunshots since the game season commenced. Perhaps the Republican thunder daring the Quay and Hastings cam paign frightened away the game. Should the silver become an issue there would be a chinking and ringing campaign. Those who are seeking official posi tion must have lofty aspirations. It seems that those aspirations must be considerably humiliated when the aspirant is obliged to drag and drudge through all the political slum and mud hunting up and catching the doubtful and floating element which always jumps at a two dollar bait. The dying and decaying foliage with the sombre appearance of nature admonish us of the approach of the inclement season to which many look forward with gloomy forebodings. Not all are atle to make ample provision for a hard winter, but there is full and plenty for every body -and hence those who have a large surplus should see to it that those are supplied who are in need and want. All have not the same opportunity to sow and gather that others have, and though there may be drones in the hive of industry ; yet it appears that all have their use in society, and as the saying is, " it takes all kinds of people to make a world"; henoe there is a mutual dependence, one upon the other, through the entire brotherhood of mankind. The new woman with pants and bloomers will have some advantage in a gale over her predecessors, as she will not catch and resist so much wind. If is said " there is always room on the upper shelf." Yes the upper shelf is always up so high that nobody can reach it. Otherwise excursions and picnics would fill it when they are once all shelved. Even worn out party hades and disappointed poli ticians never get on the upper shelf, though they get enectually shelved. The general health of our people is eood at present. Buckwheat threshing comes much earlier than usual. Not because of earlier sowing, but because of more rapid development during the time of growing. . i-n I.. - Death of Senator Lemon, Hon. John A. Lemon, Ex-Auditor General of Pennsylvania, and the present incumbent of a seat in the State Senate from the Blair Cambria district for the fifth term, died at his home in Hollidaysburg last Monday afternoon of typhoid pneumonia.

Organisation Effected- At a meeting of the Commercial Travelers of this County at tr.e fcx change Hotel on Saturday evening a permanent home organization was formed and the following named persons were elected officers.

The Association is now in its infancy, and membership is confined to any resident citizen of the United States who is a commercial traveler. Has Been Kesumedi During the Spring and early sum mer months, quite a number of the Sunday School workers having been holding services in the churches in the neighboring township, thus awakening a new interest in this line of Christian work. For a time, they were discon tinued, but they have now been re sumed, and will be held regularly once each week. To night the service will be held in the Church at Espy. Every one is not only invited, but urged to attend these meetings. The program is varied, including short interesting talks, and good music. Subscription List Growing. The fact that our efforts to give the people a good, live newspaper is ap preciated is evidenced by our con tinued growing subscription list. This is most gratifying to us, and in return for the same, we promise to give our subscribers all the local news, and have it written np in a spicey and read able way. We will make a specialty of giving the Court House news and proceedings in full, so as to inform our readers just what is transpiring at the County Seat. Remember we publish the largest paper in the town and give all the news. Advertisers should take advantage of these special ties and place their advertisements in the Columbian. The illustrated lecture given by Rev. D. E. Fink in the Presbyterian church, Wednesday evening, was a success, and all who were present were nicely entertained. By request, it will be repeated this Friday evening with entirely new pictures. Everyone is invited. Healthy, happy babies are generally the offspring of nealthy, happy mothers. It would hardly be natural if it were otherwise. The baby's health and hap piness depend on the mother's. The mother's condition during gestation par ticularly exerts an influence on the whole life of the child. Impure blood, weakness and nervous ness in the mother are pretty sure to repeat themselves in the child. If a woman is not careful at any other time, she certainly should be during the period preliminary to parturition. It is a time when crrentest care is necessary. and Nature will be the better for a little help. Even strong, well women will find themselves feeling better, their time of labor shortened and their pains less ened if they will take Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription. To those whom troubles peculiarly feminine have rend ered in any degree weak, it will prove a veritable blessing. It is a good general tonic for the whole system, and at any time will promote the proper and regular action of all the oreans. It is a medicine forewomen only and for all complaints confined to their sex is of inestimable value. Dr. Pierce has written a 168 page book, called "Woman and Her Diseases," winch will tie sent sealed, in a main envelope, on receipt of ten cents t part tiav txstatre. '2.
