The men are appointed to serve for one year, 1802. As this is a presidential year each one appointed should cheerfully accept the same with the intention of devoting some of his time to the Interests of the party. We are anxious to see Centre county roll up a full 1000 majority this year. Chairman Shaeffer has selected good men to assist him and we hope each and all will do what they can to wage a good fight in our county for the principles of the democracy. THE SITUATION.

But a small portion of smokers will use a cigarette. What a number must then be consumed by each of the victims of this pernicious habit during his brief existence.
