Should Be On Their Guard-
The intimation that Spanish spies
have been detected prowling around
many places of importance in this
country should put every community
on its guard against suspicious char
acters. If there is good ground for
suspicion against them, they should
be arrested and searched. If not,
but suspicion is still attached to them,
they should be sent away from the
place with a warning. No chances
should be taken with this class of
characters.— Public Ledger.

All these delegates were apportion

of charge, the people seeming to de
light in making their stay a most
pleasant one. At this town is located
the college known as Susquehanna
University, a good school which is

others of its class and from present

On Monday evening the 16th in
the M. E. Church a Lecure on
Purity will be given by the Rev.
McLinn, Pastor of the Lutheran
Church. This is a serious subject
and needs to be brought befo r e the
public, to warn our young men and
women of the dangers that beset them
often through ignorance.
Parents also need instruction along
these lines that they may better warn
and teach their children to know
themselves. That their bodies --e
sacred and belong to God. This was
the subject of the Mother's meeting
at the Mission last Friday evening.
There was a good attendance.
