The Post is strong edi- torially, and while it abates no jot or tittle its faith in Democracy, it aspires to convert and convince and hence it does not pursue the unreconstructed and the benighted with a bludgeon; to this may also be ascribed the reason for its large patronage by people whose political creed differs, Hb ——————— Mrs, Odenkirk Hart, Mrs. Mary J. Odenkirk, of this place, was run down by a bicyclist Sunday afternoon and received severe injuries. The accident occurred while crossing the street near her home, man striking the lady from the rear.

Their white sides and bellies were easily visible from the shore, while here and there, washed up against the banks by little wavelets was seen a large fish and many min- nows.

It would be asimple matter for parents to see that their children are regularly in the class room. When the school board is required to perform this work it becomes expensive, and every tax- payer is obliged to pay his or her ehare of the cost. The borough receives from the state an appropriation of $625, but to secure this the officers of the school board are obliged to make oath that the com- pulsory school law has been enforced. It is based on good authority that the report from the loeal districts to State Buperintendent Schaefter will contain very definite questions as to whether the compulsory school law has been properiy enforced. It will then re- main for the proper officers to perjure themselves, enforce the law, or forfeit the state appropriation, Btate Buperintendent Schaeffer ig being urged by a great majority of the county superintendents throughout the state to withold the state appro- priation in all cases where there is no positive evidence that this particular law has been made operative, In plain words, it is up to the school boards to either enforce the law, or forfeit the state appropriation, Which shall be done ? The answer comes, enforce the law. The citizens’ part in bringing about the fulfillment of the compulsory school law is to encourage children to attend school, point out the benefits of education, and impress them that they are violators of the law; that their lawlessness is liable to cause the loss to of the entire state appropriation, or at least the expense re their school distriet of securing an attendance officer. Parents and guardians should be made to realize that it is their duty, law or no law, to educate their chil- whatever 0 i dren to extent Lhe local facilities will the schol permit; that by violating compulsory school law they are liable to five and imprisou- ment, y i, to Rev. and Mrs, Gress Hev. and Mrs, Gress were tendered a reception Thursday evening in the Reformed church.

The soft white and light-colored felts that take the place of the straw sailor and tailored hats in the autumn outfit are this season more attractive than ever, says the October Delineator. Their lines are softemed breasts, pompons and quills, together with a draped scarf of silk or broad ribbon. The novelties produced for this season show a decided tendency toward smaller shapes, and the newest toques have tee brims rolled up in front and at the sides and the crown low and flat. Birds and wings are a noticeable feature of the early season hats, e Autumn Milftnery severe by Froperty Tampered With, The house of the late Elizabeth Love, in this place, has been entered i by a thief, who took from bureau | | drawers table linen, consisting of new napkins, table cloths, also sheets, pil- low cases and towels.
