The drought prevails to an alarm- rr ) . 41 11 ing extent, ine waters in me sman streams are lower than I. have ever known them to be. The weather has been very lavor- able for the ingathering of the enor mous crop of buckwheat. Much of the corn was so badly worm eaten that it will not yield ten bushels per acre while many pieces will yield an abundant crop. Seed time may now be said to be over as the next harvest is now near ly all in the ground. Brevity always contains the pith of a matter. Condensing a matter boils the sub stance down to a point. The girl is invariably a free trader. She never asks any " boot " in ex change for kisses. Those who left their buckwheat threshing for better weather may find it tough enough in the end. A bad temper is like a fire smould ering in a dangerous place. A wind may fan it into a blaze and do incal culable damage. Whatever may be said of the merits of the cigar, it is nothing after all but a self contradiction. The longer it smokes the shorter it stubs. Many a matter explodes whether loaded with a combustible or not. Especially scandal and false report. Some of our neighbors report enor mous yields of potatoes while others say their crop was a partial failure. In many places the potatoes were badly worm eaten. There was no preaching at St. James last Sunday as Rev. Houtz at tended a church dedication at Milton. The forest foliage again resembles a coat of many color.. The turkey feels jubilant at the near approach ot thanksgiving and other festive occasions. The dear girl who is a prospective That lump In a man's stomach which makes him ir ritable and misera ble and unfit for bus iness or pleasure is caused by indiges tion. Indigestion, like charity, covers a multitude of sins. The trouble may be in stomach, liver, bowels. Wherever it is, it is caused by the presence of polson otis, refuse matter which Nature has been unable to rid herself of, unaidsd. In such cases, wise people send down a little health officer. personified by one of Dr. Pierce's Pleas ant Pellets, to search out the seat of trouble ana remove the cause. One lit tle "Pellet" will remove a very big lump and act as a gentle laxative. Two " Pel lets" are a mild cathartic. A short "course" of " Pellets " will cure indiges tion permanently, i win cure cuhkuub' tion. After that, you can stop taking tnetn. A (rood many puis act so vio lently as to derange the system, and in its disordered stute, digestion will not go on without a continued use of the pills. That's the worst feature of most tiilla.

The Benton township school board have some trouble with the Maple Grove school-house and lot, as the same had been sold by the sheriff. Not as a township debt, but the school-board failed to secure a title for the lot when the school-house was built. Daniel Karns, a Benton township farmer of the west end raised 370 bushels of buckwheat. A son-in-law of Alfred McIIenry, of Cambra, by name of Brown, died at the home of the former last Friday night. The deceased was an accom plished dentist and highly respected. He was a son of Adison Brown form erly of New Columbus, and has been in poor health for a long time. The visible supply of buckwheat may keep the price of that commod ity at a low figure. But buckwheat cakes and apple sauce will hardly mingle this year. Everything seems to be going on wheels. No one seems particular about the motive power ; whether steam, electricity or horse; whether pushed by hand or legs, whether the vehicle has four, three, two or one wheels, like women pushing their babies in baby carts, or men and women riding bicycles and tricycles, or paddy pushing the wheel-barrow on the turnpike. Notice, "At a regular meeting of the Bloom Poor Directors April 27, 1895, a reso lution was adopted that all orders for relief must be signed by a majority of the Directors, and any order without being properly signed by at least two Directors will not be accepted or paid. Isaiah Hageniiuch, Pres." The passing of the above resolution is one of many foolish acts consum mated by Messrs. Rhoads and Hagen buch. Who but them would pass a resolution that orders for relief must be signed by a majority of the board? Section 12 of Act of i860, which ap plies to the Bloomsburg Poor District, provides as follows: ''That all orders issued for the relief of any poor per son or persons within said township shall be directed to the directors of the poor of Wilkes-Barre twp.: and upon the receipt of such orders, said directors, or any one of them, shall immediately proceed to inquire into the circumstances, and if the person or persons therein named are found by him entitled to relief, he or they shall furnish such relief, or cause such person or persons to be removed and taken to said poor house, and there kept and maintained until legally dis charged; any one of said directors shall have authority to direct a poor person to be admitted into said poor house: but no person shall be dis charged therefrom unless at his or her own request, except by the direction of at least two of said directors." So it will be seen that in relieving poor persons one director has just as much power as a majority of the board, and the passing of such foolish resolutions shows just what length Rhoads and Hagenbuch will go in their efforts to defeat and prevent the voters of the district from having the benefit of my experience as a director. 1 he resolution was aimed at myself and was intended to tie my hands so would be unable to do business for the district. The law is on my side and I propose to exercise my rights as a director, and any order signed by myself will be honored or I will know the reason why. The public will take notice and act accordingly. O. T. WILSON, Poor Director. S. II. Harman has sold two lots on oth and 10th streets to William Fer guson. The sale was made through J. S. Williams, real estate agent.

Main Street is receiving attention from the Street Commissioner. This is work in the right direction. The old adage " a stitch in time saves nine" is exemplified in this work. W. B. Taylor has the paper hangers and painters at work on his home on Iron Street. There is no telling what improvements he will make before he stops, as he never does an) thing by I halves. The large front show window of the " Leader " presents a very fine appearance. It shows a bed room completely furnished. The party who did the decorating deserves great credit for the taste displayed. The Ent building is being repainted and it adds greatly to the appearance of the structure There are some other buildings along Main Street which would be greatly improved were the same kind ot work Cone on them. John B. Hunt, is always looking for fine horses and he has recently purchased at Allentown one of which he feels justly proud. It is a bay pacer, and although he has not been worked for a year shows a 2-22 gait.

Robison of Mifflintown was in this place on last Thursday on official business.

The sale of the brick building on Main Street belonging to the estate of I Thomas Miller and occupied by Schuyler's hardware store was on Wednesday afternoon of last week sold to J. M. Gidding at public sale, but on account of some misunder standing it was declared no sale. The Evangelistic services which Rev. Samuel Blair had been holding at the mission on Eighth Street have closed and the results of his labors were about sixty conveisions. He is now holding similar ones at Shick- shinny under the auspices of the Epworth League of the M. E. Church and has already had wonderful success.
