"Con Lemuel" had an awful spasm last week and in an attempt to say something wrote one of the worst | articles ever penned in the storm centre of ignorance. He said it would not do to run a poor farm on the same principle that a majority of the Mason Hill farms are conducted. Now, we don't pretend to farm like the great western farmer, but we always have all we want to eat, whether we raise it, buy it or steal it, and don't ask the county to build a poor house for our J own especial benefit. He says farm- J ing is a science. I will admit that i but when we have a year like last year | (oats struck with the rust, buckwheat j killed by the sun, potatoes strnck with | the blight, fruit, cabbage all club root, I hay, wheat and rye rotted in the field J by the continuous wet weather, (how | can a man in this rough, rocky, bleak, I mountainous country make a living al j together on a farm'? lie also criticised j Mr.Brooks' chicken story. lie says he | knows of a farm that two years ago raised 1,300 bushels of corn on ten acres. I I think he exaggerated that story about j half, because we have as good farms | and farmers as there are in the county 1 and they say seventy-five bushels per acre is an exceptionally good crop, while most farms only yield 40 or 50 1 bushels per acre. Ho also says every body are in ignorance because they ; can't see the poor house question ! in the same light as he sees it. A man ; { would be a fool to preach up a doctrine • 1 that would be detrimental to his own j benefit; and now I will say as the Dents ( j Run scribbler said, that perhaps friend | "Con" has a farm for sale (this is no , ; doubt the farm that raised 1,300 | bushels of corn) or never owned any . property, or still bettor probably be contemplates going to the poor house, if there be one established DING. 1 j Fob. 14, 1898.

Warren and John says,"The taffy j ain't good." Not muchwonder. Mrs. Maud and Alizina Barr were j the guests of Mrs. Tina Miller, on Wednesday. Wonder what takes the school dad j over to Powell's so often'? Mr. A. S. Bailey is selling stoves. He makes a good agent;] is a good talker and is having remarkable suc , cess—selling from six to eight ranges , daily. Huntley Miller and Orlo Miller j sawed nine cords of wood in four ! hours last Saturday. Harvey Hicks and Norman Strait started for Marshfield, Tioga county, j j last Friday. The distance is forty- ! | eight miles across the mountains. Wonder what takes Omer down to j Hanseom's so often ? Hanscom is going to grow seventy- j 1 five bushels of strawberries this year. Last year he grew sixty bushels and j sold fifty bushels at ten cents ptr quart. Last Wednesday night the pumpkin | rig came into town, arousing our citi | zens from their peaceful slumbers by ! their yelling, crowing and singing. [ The rig came from Mason Hill. Judg ! ing from the noise they made they j were out serenading, instead of sleigh j riding. The next time you come j don't make so much noise. BALL BABY. Rich Valley Notes. j Editor PrrsH : Joseph Housler, of Lock Haven, I j came up Saturday to see his many | friends. Mrs. Lydia A. Lewis went to Cameron last Saturday returning on mail Sun -1 day morning. The nights are dark and the roads , are very muddy but the prayer meet | ings are going on as usual. Another little lady has come to live in our valley; this time at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lu. Whoaton. G. I']. Housler has sold his farm and I is moving into one part of his father's j house. There was once a certain king who made an image and then made a law that all people and nations should worship the image, and all who would not worship should be east into a fiery ! furnace. This was the law of the land but there were three men who refused I to obey this law, because the law of I God said they should not make images I nor worship them. Ex. 20; 4, 5. So they were cast into the furnace, but the only effect the fire had upon them ; was to burn the thongs with which j they were bound and set them free, j because they refused to obey the law j of the land when it was contrary to the law of God. See Daniel, third i chapter. There was another king who made a 1 law that no man should ask a petition j of any God or man for thirty days, except of this king. But it was con trary to God's law and one man re fused to obey, but kneeled and prayed to God three times a day, just as he had done before. He was cast into a den of lions; but God sent an angel and shut the lion's mouths, because he refused to obey the laws of the land when they conflicted with the laws of God. See Daniel 6. Then the apostles were forbidden by those in authority to preach in the name of Jesus; but God had commanded them to preach. And Peter and the other apostles answered and said: "We ought to obey God rather than men." Acts 1 5; 29. Now did these men do right in re fusing to obey the law of the land ? t They certainly did, as every honest , j Bible student will admit. Then is ; there not a lesson in this for us? If , we refuse to obey the law of the land [ we will probably be punished but we ( ! dare not do otherwise when it is eon l trary to the law of God. We will obey . | God's law and leave the result with ( Him. We are thankfnl that "the God who lived in Daniel's time is just the same to-day." And He is able to deliver those who put their trust in Him. Feb. 15, 1898. APINA. Mothers Friend. What is it ? Much ' has been said and written about it but I the half has not been told. It is a ; remedy which if used by Expectant I Mothers robs the ordeal through which j they all have to pass of an incredible . amount of suffering and makes her re- I I covery more rapid. "If a price can be placed on pain, j I "Mother's Friend" is worth its weight ! . j in gold as an alleviator. My wife suf i fered more in ten minutes with either 1 ' of her other two children than she did altogether with her last, having prcv- j 1 i iously used four bottles of "Mother's j Friend." It is a blessing to any ex- J pectant mother, says a customer." HENDERSON DALE, Druggist, Carmi, 111.
