Volt's Slioe Store, Emporium, Pa 121y Address of Welcome at Farmers* Institute at Emporium, Pa,, by Hon. Josiah Howard, January 27th, 1908. MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLE MEN AND INSTRUCTORS OF THE STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE: — A storekeeper once went out to de liver a looking glass to a customer and seeing a newsboy on the street called to him, "here boy! look into this glass and you will see a donkey," and the boy answered back, "H w do you know, mister, did you look in it your self?" We are here to welcome wise men from the East who have come to ask us to take a peep into their looking glass, not to see donkeys or any other self-satisfied persons, but to show us truths and fundamental inforniatiorf necessary to every farmer who wishes to make a "go"of improving his land. If we were "wise in our own conceits," it is not likely that we would be (here to welcome them, but feeling sure that they are prepared to show us the best methods and formulas, we gladly sit at their feet aud trust that they will recognize our location and difficulties in this mountainous region. We trust you recognize that one sixth of the county is owned and held as State Forestry Reserve, one-half of the balance is hekl by citizens, as land of the same quality, and one-half of the farmers have no opportunity to get extra employment near their home. We are not poor financially, but hav ing been a lumbering community, we lack enthusiastic faith in farming as a sole means d livelihood. No man liveth unto himself and no man learn eth such without a teacher. Recogniz ing this, we welcome you as experts, sent by Father Penn to show us how we may acquire much benefit from self development. As true prophets of progress and prosperity, you are here to show us that while agriculture comes first, her twin sisters are manufacturing, trans portation, mining and banking. "United they stand, divided they fall." If our state legislature were made up of only one class of citizens the state itself would decline The lawyer, the doctor, the merchant, or the banker if left alone in their own class would not make the best laws for their own development, because they would not pay due regard to the rights of the other industries. Dynamite is a very valuable agent of civilized development, but if the nitro glycerine in it had its own way and was not toned down and held in place by an intelligent mixture of other ingredients, it would be useless to it self and the state at large. All quacks, tricksters and extremists fit out their dupes with glasses colored to suit their own side of the story. We trust your looking glasses and spec tacles will reflect and magnify only such jthings as are practiced in our community. It will not make our cattle fat and profitable just to fit them out with green goggles, but you must show us how to improve our farms as a whole and incidentally increase our bank ac counts. The State pays over one-half the cost of the public schools, the State roads and the maintenance of the hospitals, and this is all right, but the farmer has no more desire to be a subject of charity than any other business man and we do uot ask you to pay one-half the expense of our farms, but we do ask for good State roads an'd that you spend as much in proportion on the Agriculture Department as you do on the Banking, the Insurance or the Min ing Departments, and if possible we would like to have the Farmers' Insti tutes, in the mountaineous districts, hold earlier in the whiter, or after the first of March. We know you come to us in good faith to do us some good and we trust that your goggles will make the truth clear to us and that we will not be so thick-headed that we do not carry home witli us much practical and in telligent information. Wishing you a pleasant stay while in our city and God-speed. in your work for the farmers, we bid you a most hearty welcome. DEATH'S DOINGS BALDWIN* Charles Brigham Maid win, aged 69 years and 25 days, died on Monday evening at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Fred Farrell, on Portage street, of tuberculosis. The remains were prepared for burial by Undertaker La Bar and shipped to Duke Centre this (Thursday) morning. Deceased came to Emporium several years ago. CUndidates are bobbing up. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY" 30, 1008. Postal Notice. ' Postmaster Chas. Seger desires to call attention to the practice of some patrons of rural delivery of placing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispatch letters instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes. The postmaster, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves and keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and in advance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in purchasing supplies of stamps. Enjoyable Evening. Mr. Thomas Craven, Jr., left on Sun day liyer for Williamsport, where he will enter the Commercial College. On Saturday evening a few of his friends were royally entertained at his home on Vino street. Light refresh ments were served and the evening was enjoyed by all present. The party consisted of the following: Mildred Greene, Edna Adams, Mary Burns, Martha Burns, Jennie Robinson, Cath- j erine Orr, Mary Jessop, Laura Hout, Mablo Morrison, Margaret Weiseubuh, Florence Faucett, Ralph Schnee, John Robinson, Thomas Bailey, Wil-! liam Gauntz, Alfred Zwald, Ralph Hout, Charles Jessop, Ralph Hout, George Fetter, Frances Robinson. Emphatic Truth. What's the use of grouching? If you ; can't boost, don't knock. No man was : ever the better for spending his time , and his talents in knocking other peo- I pie. He not only wastes his talents, i but sours his disposition.—Harrisburg Telegraph. Have wo any of the above named characters in Cameron county? Surely we have, so has every town and 1 county and no new project is ever launched, but the first to bob up is the knocker. Re-Organizing the Public Library. Miss Maud Brooks, Asst. Librarian, j of Clean Public Library has been en- j gaged to recataloguo and reorganize | the Emporium Public Library and has commenced on her work.

A Noble Letter. The following letter from a Quaker lady to Rev. Talmage was highly priz ed by Grand-Ma Coleman and was re rently found among her papers. Her son, Mr. E. G. Coleman kindly allowed us to publish the same. It will no doubt be prized by many of the admir ing friends of the grand old lady: "Quaker lady: Friend Talmaga.— Why not let the comforter do thy pray ing and see how soon all difficulties will be ended? The comforter was sent to lend us into all truth. How better can he do it that formulate our supplications? Try a Quaker's silent prayer. When the desire comes in the fjoul to hold communion with a living Father, enter into the closet (of the heart) shut the door (of the mind) with faith, reverently kneeliug; dare not speak poor, finite words, lest it be in thine own strength; but put every thought of thy mind; then forcibly cast aside all the new trains of thought, Satan is sure to crowd upon thee; banish them all, bringing thy mind in to a passive state, comparable to the three measures of meal, in which a leaven was hid. Now, when thou has dilligently overcome self and its corn partner, obey the command, be still and wait with patience. Christ knows his waiting children, Then ! Open thy mouth anil it shall be filled. And it will bo Hlled by what thy needs are, whether it be prayer, praise or thanksgiving; • poor dependent, ! finite mortals do not know their needs, but the loving Father left them a grac | ious teacher, his comforter to be an everpresent help." "The Girl of the Sunny South." j A story of intense heart interest, ; capital comedy scenes, quaint southern i humor, old-time negro plantation j melodies and stirring climaxes, is the i dramatic essence ofthe latest; of South ern comedy dramas, "The Girl of the Sunny South". This play is from the pen of the well known and successful playwright, Travers Vale, and is con sidered by the critics of dramatic liter ature to be his masterpiece. The dia logues scintillates with bright comedy, j and the various exciting climaxes are ! led up to in a most natural manner, i The scenic effects which show the old l Plantation during cotton picking time, I the interior of a Georgia prison, with a ■ change to the City by night, and the j Old Plantation in Winter, are realistic ; and picturesque at the Emporium j Opera House, on Saturday evening, ' Feb Ist Edith Warren, the charming comedienne, has a most congenial role in that of Katie Searelle, the pet of the plantation.

The finder will be liberally re warded by leaving same at PRESS of fice. 48-tf. V | "The Girl of the Sunny South." I In the craze for sensationalism, | modern dramatic authors, proceed to j extremes and produce scenes that are | repulsive to even the most sensational | loving theatre goer. This is amply proven by the fact that plays which depend entirely upon incidents of this class, are being rapidly withdrawn from the stage through want of patron age. In the successful comedy drama, "The Girl of the Sunny South" morbid sensationalism is happily not in exist ence, and its place is taken by a stirr ing story of heart interest, brimful of comedy and bright specialties. From the rise of the curtain, which starts with the old quint melodies ofthe south, the merriment commences with a constant stream of mirth, music and interesting dialogue continues until the conclud ing scene. The cast is a capable one and is headed by the clever comedienne Edith Warren. Special scenic effects which depict life in the Old South are carried and serve to give atmosphere to that land of romance. Richard Moore Stricken. The many friends of Richard 0. Moore will be pained to learn that he was stricken with paralysis last Friday night, hie leftside being affected. Dr. Falk is doing all he can to help him. The fault of the trouble is traced to a fall he received, over a week ago, while visiting his brother at Keating Summit, This morning he is improv ed considerable. Emmanuel Church Notice.

Judge Harry Alvan Hall, of this dis trict, is having more than his share of murder trialsat the present time. Last week he had a murder trial on hand at Emporium. This week he has the Donley case in the Clinton county conrts and Tuesday at Ridgway, his home town, a woman was incarcerated in the Elk county jail charged with the murder and burning of a woman com panion. This case Judge Hall will be called upon to hear in the neor future. Hardly is there another judge in the state having an experience like this during his first year on the bench.— Lock Haven Express. Frequently you pick up one of the local paper and after glancing at the headlines, wearily thrust it aside remarking: "Nothing in the paper to-day." Did you ever stop to think what that phrase, "nothing in the paper to-day," means? It means that in the day or week just passed that no misfortune has befallen any one in your town; that no fire has wiped out a neighbor's wordly goods; that the grim angel of death has crossed no threshold of a friend; that no man driven by liquor, hatred or fear, has taken the life of a fellowman; that no poor devil, haunted by the past OP the misdeeds of some other, has crosssed the great divide by his own hand. So the next time you pick up a paper that doesn't announce a trag edy give a little thanks instead of a grunting because there is no news.— Nevada Mail.
