In response to the persistent agitation of the drummers of Pennsylvania, which has gone so far as to include a suit in the name of the Commonwealth and a campaign for legislation fixing the maximum rate of fare on steam railroads through- out Pennsylvania at two cents a mile, the company, it has been learned, in- tends to sell books god for 1,000 miles at $20 flat. Just when the new books will be jssued has not yet been de cided, This action will not eall off the cam- paign for two-cent railroad fare to all, Many candidates for the legislature, in all parties, committed themselves on this subject, and the shrewd move on the part of the railroad company will not be of sufficient importance to quiet the clamor for a two-cent all round fare. From Milthelm Journal, Mr, and Mrs. WW, H. Bmith left Wednesday morning for several days’ visit with their daughter, Mrs. David Stoner, at Tusseyville, Mrs. Maggie Horner, of Colyer, and Mrs, George Bhook, of Penn Hall, were the guests of Mr, and Mrs. Peter Con.
