brands of fertilizers. Guaranteed to' be
free from dtrt, sand, muck, ashes, oyster

tion whatever, the farmers of Pennsylvnla
baye plctecfd' In- them a confidence which
grows stionser' year after year as they har
vest their largely increased crops. The in
gredients of Arner A Son's phosphates are
nitrogen of ammonia, phpsphotlc acid and
poUib. which places tlrelr phosphates far
? head of all others. By closil pbsenation
row year to year It has been discovered
what the plants most require to produce
tho best results at lowest possible cost-
consequently tbe manufacture of a phos

mixed with pure chemicals only. Farmers

Philip Miller, It. .1. Yonnkin, Hon. A. J.-Duflliij.
John S. Lent anil K. B. Rcber. M. D These
gentlemen were tlio members of the school board
at that tune iind wero and still are as honorable
and ns rese te1 as any Lehlghton ever had,
and acted ns wisely as tho writer of the above
quotation wroto ''unwisely." They were almost
nil property holders. hcav taxpayers and
friends of Our common school system nnd. Of
course, at tho limn met with gicat opposition
from the enemies of the same. And to prove the
above "disgusted to a man" a baso lie, tlio mom
radleil q'f them were re-elected after the "ltuek
less Squandering."
The author of the above quotation Is an avowed
enemy, of our Flee School System nnd lakes no
interest In our schools, and upon Uro si tghtest oc
casion that presents itself lie, vents Ids spleen
in lauguago similar to the quotation. The Oaii
liOJf AdvoCAVk Is nil wrong bpn the public
school question mid should bo set right to live lu
a free school country. Because a Fjee Press
must bo In accord with Krco Schools, which with
Kree Speech forms the Tripod upon which our
Alivuilcan Liberties n'ro founded. Take away
auy one of these props and our Mbuity and
Fiefdom will fall to thu ground. And besides,
why discuss, Our school System Is a decided
question llxcd law of tho latid-ot Constitu
tional adoption, and lo who talks and writes
against It "spits against the wind." Our Tree
aclinp! is tin poor man's Seminary, Uio poor
man's Collcge.the pear man's chtldxvns' llazaar,
which tlio rle.h otuUr country magnanimously
help to support, llie Nursrfy of tho S'atlonto
make good citizens. This Is why the sunslblo
and patifutlc rlclituumdiiiurlugly support It.
Hat enough out n't justice to tho dead our
friends our honorable citizens wo ducnicd It
our duty to give this Information; not so much
on our own iiccmuit who lire nllvc,wo can de
fend ourselves, but on account of the dend, who
ramiotdcfulid themselves from the Insinuations
of the detainers ot the dead.
Strangers also might think that tho abovo
named had defrauded the public. Tills Was an-'
other motive lor wilting theso few lines for the
purpose of removing any wrong Impressions.

of about S 13,000, nnd' which Is a hurien niitqi the
lax-pavers or t:us borouiiu. Wo admit, we- did
not t?ke into consideration tho property owners
