An Interesting Lot of News Items from
This Basy Point.
Rev. Wolf had his “Harvest”
vices at this place on Sunday forenoon
in the Lutheran church.
Mrs. Olivia C. Stover, of Rosecrans,
Clinton county, is visiting at the home
of Mrs. (G. W. Stover near this place. |
8. R. King the popular landlord of
the Coburn House, was visiting his |
sick mother at Aaronsburg Sunday.
R. F. Vonada and wife spent a few
days visiting friends in Rebersburg
last week, and also took in the camp
meeting.
The painters are putti ng the finish-
ing touches on Meyer Bros’ house,
which makes a very neat and attract-
ive appearance.
Rev. Brown of the Reformed church
will preach his “Harvest” sermon on
Sunday a week, Sept. 11th, in the aft-
ernoon at two o'clock.
Mrs. Frank Hackenberg is attending
the sessions of camp meeting at Har-
ter's woods near Rebersburg, and will
remain until they break camp.
The fever patients at this place have |
now all fully recovered, which is very
gratifying, and speaks well of the abil-
ities of Dr. Frank to treat this much
dreaded disease.
Clarence Fryer, a twelve-year-old
son of Henry Fryer, one day last week
while playing with his brothers, acci-
dentally fell to the ground with such
force as to break his right arm. Dr.
Frank was sent for and set the broken
member, and the lad is doing as well
as can be expected.
There has been quite a lot of petty
thieving going on at this place quite
recently; visiting chicken houses at
night seeming to be a specialty. These
sneak thieves would better take warn-
ing, or some time they may get a
warm reception when prowling about
at night.
The other day while one of our men
in town was attempting to fish up the
end of a broken chain in his well, and
standing on a ladder down at the edge
of the water, he suddenly became over-
balanced, lost his equilibrium, and fell
head foremost into the water, but in
his descent he managed to get his feet
entangled with the rungs of the lad-
der, and thus saved himself from going
to the bottom, and perhaps a watery
grave. Wadsworth’s poem, “The old
oaken bucket which hung in the well”
no doubt has lost all its charm for him
sincé this encounter.

That there is wide-spread dissatisfac-
tion in both political parties, especial-
ly on the Penns valley side of the
mountain cannot be denied, and this
emeral character, but like Banquos
ghost it will not down. The people
here know only too well, that they are
and have not been fairly treated by
their so-called political leaders. Are
contemptuously ignored in the nomi-
nations, or at best given some insignif-
icant office, or rather it is presented to
them about like an alms offering —out
of charity, and yet they are expected
to support and use their influence in
behalf of the machine manufactured
ticket, to elect and send delegates to go
through the stupendous farce of a con-
vention to nominate candidates, all of
whom were ‘fixed’ by the bosses the
night previous, telegraphed to the city
and published in the newspapers the
following morning—in advance of any
balloting or even meeting of the con-
vention. Is itany wonder that our
people are dissatisfied, and are seeking
some avenue to remedy the evil, some
plan to place themselves on an equali-
ty with other sections of the county.
The Crawford county system of voting
directly for the candidates, instead of
useless machinery of delegate elections
as we do now is strongly urged. The
system was agitated in our county a
few years since, but the bosses appre-
hending that their jobbery occupation
would be destroyed if adopted, man-
aged to have the question ‘‘referred’’ —
in other words shelved, and of course
since then has been lying dormant.
After the recent nominations of both
parties were promulgated, and it was
discovered that all the candidates were
centered in and around Bellefonte and
on that side of the mountain, notwith-
standing we had assurances that it
would be to the contrary, the Craw-
ford Sounty System has” been revived
with ten fold vigor. The le of
Penns valley are now detain to be
litically something —nothing they
ave been long enough, and the Craw-
ford county system seems a remedy
and no doubt will be finally forced to
a su 1 issue, as a means for them
to obtain justice, and be placed on an
equal plane with the Bellefonte side of
the mountain, The system works ad-
mirably and gives universal satisfac-
tion w er it has been adopted, and
a suggestion to return to the old dele
gate system would be ed as al-
most equivalent to invoking birds of
illomen. The fact is, almost an
change from the present system wou
be an improvement, any system or
plan to abolish machine rule is a_cou-
summation devoutly to be wished,

A sl SA
in Memory to Their Mother,
Verses dedicated to Mm. Andrew J. Stiffler,
Fred A. 8tiffler, of Whitlemore, Mich,
To that land of many mansions,
Up high. in those realms of light,
Our mother's glorified Spirit
Hath suddenly taken flight:
To the arms of her dear Savior,
Where her Soul will know no care,
In that land of life and glory
We shall surely meet her there,
Many the years she hath suffered,
Many the burdens she meekly bore.
Many the prayers to Heaven she offered,
Many Heaven; smiles those features wore,
Bat now in sight of the hosts of glory,
Her voice, newly borne, she'll raise
To Him who hath redeemed ber,
To Jesus, she'll give eternal praise.
Had the chariot wheels of Father Time
Not moved so cruelly slow,
Thesaffering that so recently ended,
Might have closed years ago.
We who mourn her are truly grateful
That our mother's Soul doth rest,
Free from that old sin cursed body,
Free, in happiness; forever blest,
Rix broken hearts still clin
Though admitting, the ust,
Hix wounded hearts will strive to meet her
On chat shore she tanght us of,
Oh! will six of those loving children
Meet thelr mother, with God above 7
Now whilst enshrouded in our sadn
Reflect on what God has done; _
Let us not in ruthlessness forget
