' 2t. - - PRKSIDKN t Via? Prks't Cashier Asst. Cashier K. B. TrsTiN, Louis Gross, HON. ANDREW L FRITZ ANN0UN0E8 TOR CONGRESS IN MONTOUR CO. The following is taken from the Danville Intelligencer, a paper own ed by the late Hon. R. K. Polk. Hon. Andrew L. Fritz, ol Bloomsburg, announces m this week's issue as a candidate for Con gress in this county for the next full term. The District is composed of Montour, Columbia, Northum berland and Sullivan counties. Mr. Fritz was born in Northern Columbia county, and during his younger years worked on a farm and in the lumber woods. This experience has been the means of keeping him in close contact with the people, so that when a member of the Legislature he looked after their wellfare by working to have laws passed to protect the interests of the farmers and laborers. He taught schools for a number of years. After receiving a thorough academic education he studied law with Senator Buckalew, and has been in active practice in Blooms burg since his admission to the bar. When a student at law he was Deputy Sheriff several years. lie was afterwards receiver of taxes, town auditor, and Secretary of Town Council, which positions he filled with credit, and by his kind and obliging disposition he made many friends. He was a member ot the Pennsylvania House ot Re presentatives for eight years. He served on the Judiciary General, Ways and Means, and Appropria tion Committees, the three most important in the House. He also served on a number of other com mittees. He took a prominent part when a member of the Legislature by laboring earnestly in the in terests of the taxpayers, for equal taxation, the public schools, and to economize the expenses of our State government, and he was one of the most active and hardest workers during his entire service as a Member. He was against all measures to create new offices and to increase salaries. As a legislator he has met with marked success. He won the confidence of the people with whom he was thrown in con tact, and did such excellent service in the legislature that the Demo- cratic leaders of the State gave him the caucus nomination for Speaker, which position cave him the Demo cratic leadership of the House. He is truly a representative man of the people, and has gained a strong Hold upon the Democrats of the State, and his personal nomilaritv and upright life have won for him tne respect ot the people of all parties. His untiring i ndustrv And devotion to duty, together with his conceded ability, commend him to public lavor, as is attested by his long service in the Lefislatnre. where he possessed the high esteem of all, and where he was looked upon as one of the most popular and conscientious members of the House. There were few if any whose influence upon legislation was more potent for good than that OI Mr. iTlti. ll& was aliuai.c . winuj j 1 great worksr and scanned Wwla tion closely, and was a forcible and ready debater, a good parliament arian, and a Member whose close watch upon all matters of legislation Kepi mm always prepared to intel ngentiy discuss any measure that came up for action in the Hnnw This extended legislative experience ' vciy vamaoie 10 111111 as a member of Congress. He is re garded with ereat respect in hni ness and social life, and in all the positions wnicn lie lias filled, he was Held 111 high esteem by h is fellow citizens of all shades political opinion. Mr. Fritz has no onDositinn of for Congress in Columbia county. He received the nomination in th at county in 1890 and in 1898, but the conference of the four count at ties he was defeated on the claim that Montour or Sullivan was then uueu 10 me nomination, and gave uis conierees to tliose counties After the District nomination he worked and traveled for the Demo cratic nominees, first from Sullivan in 1896, and afterwards in 1898 and 1900, for oui late Congress man. No man in the District work ed harder and more effectively for Mr. Polk during his two campaigns previous to the November election than Mr. Fritz. His extended ex perience and high standing as a legislator and citizen will make him a strong candidate, and his past training will enable him at the be ginning of the next term to take a prominent part in Congress.. Alexander Knouse, of Jackson township, is a candidate for Asso ciate Judge. He announces his name this week, and he lays claim to the nomination because his sec tion of the county has not been represented on the bench since Cyrus Mcllenry's time. In 1888 Mr. Knouse was a candidate for the nomination for sheriff and made a good run, but was defeated by John 15. Casey. He submitted grace Lilly, and warmly supported the ticket. He has always been an active Democrat and believes in rotation in office. His section gives a big Democratic vote, and he and his friends feel that they are en titled to this recognition. Mr. Knouse asks for your voles at the primary election in June. JAMISON CITY. Dr. I. L. Edwards, of Benton, and A. L. Fritz, Esq., of Blooms burg, were in this end of the county on Monday looking after the in terests of the Pennsylvania Mining & Copper Co. Dr. Edwards is Pres ident and Mr. Fritz attorney for the company. Drum Bros., successors to A. W. Vaughn & Co. in the mercantile business, are doing a nice trade. They have a large general stock. M. Forbes took charge of the City Hotel on February 1st, suc ceeding J. 'P. Hill. Mr. Forbes has been 111 the business here for several years and is well known to the traveling public. The hotel business is not what it was in this section a few years ago. At one time there were seven li censed places within a few miles' radius, five of them in Jamison and two at Central. They all boomed for a while, but the trade has fallen off, and four of them have closed up. Proctor Inn has uot been open for the past four years. Speaking of Proctor Inn, we notice handbills posted announcing the sale of all the personal property remaining there on Friday of this week. The real estate will also be sold at that time. It is a shame that such a fine property should have to be abandoned for want of patronage. It cost about $16,000, and there were few better furnished hotels in the state. Its location made it a most delightful place to spend a few days for recreation and rest, and lovers of nature had a bundant opportunity to gratify their tastes by roaming around among the rocks and rills. But for some reason it did not draw sufficient patronage to make it a paying in vestment, and for the past few years it has been occupied by Wil liam Graham as a private residence. We understand that it can be bought very cheap. The saw mill started up again on Monday alter several weeics idleness. They have a large num ber of logs on hand, most of which are brought down the west branch over the Pentecost railroad. About thirty five hands are employed at the mill. The Tannery is running seven hours a day now. Great quantities of hemlock bark are being pre pared. The Morning Press publishers have hung out a neat and attrac tive sign over their entrance to their office in the Dentler building. " I had a most stubborn cough for many years. It deprived me of sleep and I grew very thin. I then tried Ayer Cherry Pectoral, and was quickly cured." R. N. Mann, Fall Mills, Tenn. Sixty years of cures and such testimony as the above have taught us what Ayer's Cherry Pectoral will do. We know it's the great est cough remedy ever made. And you will say so, too, after you try it. There's cure in every drop. Three diet 1 25c, 50c, SI. All drujfUti. Consult your doctor. If lie iyt take it, thmi ilo h. snya.

Do not delay taking it. Don't put it off till your health tone gets too low to be lifted. Hood's Sarsaparilla "Will give you a good nppetito, purify and enrich your blood, over come that tired feeling, give you mental and digestive strength and steady nerves. l?o sure to ask for HOOD'S, the best medicine money can buy.

EAST BENTON- The great amount of prospecting for hidden treasures in the earth by mining and boring, and in which so many people invest all their possessions in the hope of becom ing speedily wealthy, without effort, suggests the following lines iu rhyme. Know oil men liy these piesenix, That the earlh is b:g nnd round; Whether rich, or poor, or distressed, Millions of wealth, we have found. All the land that we have leased, In valley, hill-top, or mount; From morn till eve, have not ceased To search the Country all around. (old, silver, oil anil copper, Till our treasures "heapin" full; Sure, and this is not a whopper, For each ot us had a pull. Sure, and we have not "Imildin" been, Such fine castle in the air; Nor "dieamin" of a fairy land, Where one never knows despair. Home and friends' we've sacrificed, To appease our thirst for 140M; And no joke nor jesting here, Our hopes turned to rut nnd mould. Of course, while we believe that it is proper and right to develop our mineral resources ty prospect ing, at even some financial risk, we do not think that it is wise to risk all the savings of a life time for something that is entirely out of sight, in the hope of striking a rich find, which so frequently does not materialize. A. U. Lesher's mother died at Bendertown last week and was buried iu the St. James Cemetery last Saturday. She was a sister of Mrs. Stott McIIenry of Stillwater. Mrs. Susan Beishline of Jones town died at the home of herbrothe:-in-law, Harvey Ash near Still water last week and was interred in the Jonestown Cemetery last Sun day. Mrs. Beishline was the widow of A. W. Beishline of Bendertown who died a number of vears ago. She is survived by a circle offriends and a daughter who lives in Hazle ton. At this writing the roads alter nate to good and bad. O, what bad patches of roads! Mrs. Alvin Dresher of this place is no better and great solicitude for her recovery is universally felt. But great apprehensions for the worst are feared. Mrs. Sarah, relict of the late Philip Hess, died at her home in Espy Sunday night, at the age of seventy-eight years, tour chil dren and a sister, Mrs. Franklin Shuman, and a brother ex-county commissioner Stephen Pohe, sur vive. She was also a half-sister of Mrs. Samuel Turnbach, of Blooms burg. The remains were interred in the Afton Cemetery yesterday morning. SHOES That wear well, look well, and are comfortable.
