The Poor Editor,
A little boy in a neighboring town
was required to write an essay the oth-
er day. “The Newspaper” was the
subject and here is the result: “I don’t
know how newspapers came to be in
the world, I don’t think God does, for
be bhain’t got nothing to say .about
them, and editors are not in the Bible.
I think the editor is one of the miss
ing links you read about, and stayed
in the brush till after the flood, then
came out and wrote the thing up, and
has been here ever since. I don’t
think he ever dies. I never saw a
dead 'un and never heard of one get-
ting licked. Our paper is a mighty
poor "un; the editor goes 'thout under.

A Drankard’s Will,
A dying drunkard in Oswego, New
York, left the following as his “last
will and testament:”” “I leave to soci-
ety a ruined character, a wretched ex-
ample and a memory that will soon
rot. Ileave to my parents as much
sorrow as they can, in their feeble state
bear. I leave to my, brothers and sis-
ters as much shame and mortification
as I can bring on them. 1 leave to my
wife a broken heart and a life of shame,
I leave to each of my children pover-
ty, ignorance, a low character and a
remembrance that their father filled a
drunkard’s grave.” J
A Young Girl's Experience.
My daughter's nerves were terribly
out of order. She was thin and weak
the least noise startled her, and she
was wakeful at night. Before she had
taken one package of Celery King the
hange in her was so great that she
could hardly be taken for the same
girl. She is rapidly growing well and
strong; her complexion is perfect, and
be sleeps well every night.—~Mrs. Lu-
ey McNutt, Brush Valley, Pa. Celery
King for the Nerves, Stomach, Liver,

“Can you tell me what kind of
weather we may expect to find next
month ?”' wrote a subscriber to the ed-
itor of a paper, and the editor replied
as follows: Itis my belief that the
weather next month will be very much
like your subscription. The enquirer
wondered for an hour what the editor
was driving at, when he happened to
think of the word “unsettled.” He
‘sent the required amount next day.

SPRING MILLS,
The News of Interest as Gathered by Our
Correspondent,
Our schools here will close this week.
A summer session will begin about
April 10th.
Croup seems to be quite prevalent in
our village, a dozen or more severe
cases are reported.
During the week sales have been
quite numerous down this way, and in
all cases live stock commanded very
high prices. In fact, ordinary house-
hold goods brought unusually high fig-
ures.
Afier an illness of 8a month or six
weeks, Sarah, only daughter of the
late Dr, F. H, Van Valzah of our vil-
lage, died on Bunday evening last. In-
terment in the Union cemetery here,
this, Thursday morning.
Sdward, eldest son of Harvey Con-
fer of the Spring Mills Planing Mill
Company, is now a regular employe
in the mill. He is a young man who
ranks high in character, and possesses
very considerable mechanical ability,
Sunday last was decidedly a winter
day in this neighborhood, and during
the night the gale sweeping down the
valley almost approached a hurricane.
The only damage reported are several
demoralized fences, and one or two
chicken houses turned upside down.
H. B. Miller, miller, on Tuesday
last moved into the residence formerly
occupied by John Runkle, meat mer-
chant, on the south side of the creek a
few steps from the main road leading
to the railroad station. Runkle moved
into the dwelling occupied by his
mother, on the pike a short distance
below our village,
I regret to say that in our village we
have quite a number of unruly boys,
who seem to be using every possible
means to reach some cell in a peniten-
tiary. They appear to delight only in
annoying people, and committing all
manner of mischief, no matter where
nor when. Quite frequently they will
attend church, evidently for the sole
purpose of annoying the pastor, dis-
turbing the congregation by audible
whispering, giggling and creating con-
fusion during service; of course the offi
cers of the church have admonished
them 'til patience ceases to be a virtue,
and have now concluded that if they
still persist in their senseless folly, to
bave them arrested and introduced to
magistrate Grenoble. Such outrageous
conduct should not be tolerated for a
moment. The postoftice isa favorite
resort for this rowdy element to con-
gregate, while the mails are being dis-
tributed they, with the school students
who also assemble here and almost
pack the office, and of course blockade
the delivery window to the exclusion
of those having business with the de-
partment, and besides indulge in sense-
less conversation and boisterous laugh-
ter, to the disgust and annoyance of all |
present. Frequently a nomber will |
enter the office provided with snow,
and throw it around promiscuously,
regardless of consequences, or whom
they sprinkle. The postmaster has
frequently remonstrated with them,
and requested them kindly, when in
the office to conduct themselves prop-
erly, and if they had no respect for
themselves, they should have for oth-
ers, but apparently without eftect. Mr.
Long is now determined, as they re.
fuse to comply willingly to his request,
they will do it on compulsion, as their
condoet has become such an intolera-
bie nuisance that it will be no longer
endured.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This remedy is intended especially
for coughs, colds, croup, whooping
cough and influenza. It has become
famous for its cures of these diseases,
over a large part of the civilized world.
The most flattering testimonials have
been received, giving accounts of its
good works; of the aggravating and
persistant coughs it has cured; of se.
vere colds that have yielded promptly
to its soothing effects, and of the dan-
gerous attacks of croup it has cured,
often saving the life of the child. The
extensive use of it for whooping cough
has shown that it robs that disease of
all dangerous consequences, Sold by
