LOCAL AND GENERAL,
When freedom from her mountain
height
Unfurled her standard to the air.
She slew the eagle bird of fight
And put the dove of concord there.
She mingled with our liberty
The red tape of diplomacy.
And stripped our tuler of the right
To pitch right in with all his might
And say to any foreign power,
' We ll throttle you within an hour. "
And once it therefore comes to pass
That ere this nation goes to war.
It has to talk and blow, alas!
For something like six months before.

—lt is a Singular fact that many
writers who have canght and reflected
'the very spirit and life of countries anil
places were never themselves in those
countries. Thomas Moore, whose

of the Orient, was never in the East.

Kentucky Home," "Snwanee River"
and many other negro songs that were
accepted as the expression of plantation
life and melody, was never in the
South, and knew nothing about negro
life e cept what he had gleaned frem
books and conversation. When he
married he moved from Pittsburg to
New York, and being lonely, wrote
"Snwanee Ribber," tmlling the name
from an atlas because of its musical
sound

A Common Mistake.
it is 3 po'ijmon mistake people make
in supposing thai ti»<_ only object of the
Business College is to grind out book
keepers and stenographers. Business
College education is useful to everybody.
The sjjan of wealth cannot tell if his l>ook
keeper dofci his work properly unless he
hiinoelf understands ih.. science of ac
counts. lust .is the best housekeeper
need not do the work herself but she
knows how, and hence knows when it is
properly done. The poor man needs
business education to be able to manage
his resources to the best advantage.

For variety of subjects discus-*-! a
-er-siuu of our Town Coanci. Pr diuMy
finals that of any legislative body on
< irth. They had an extra - -ion <r
special meeting, on Tut--.lay evening,
lasting from s to ln.ijn 1' M . t which
through report.- »f comuiitW*. - or otii*.
wise every corner of the town was talk
el about, but the subject that came last
the r»-iH>rt of the Finance Committee,
held over from last meeting was prob
ably of most interest to the public.
In apportioning the prospective iv*
t-nue- of the town for thi> year he
Finance Committee gave the Light
Committee £i<N»o, and the Street Com
mittee sllo<'. with £"<(K) for bridges.
The Street < ommittee has lately been
. examining the condition of those streets
I that were injured by the late Hood. and
it will need about s♦■.;:«> to r. pair them;
' one member of the Street Committee
proposed "ikinir *! tun» of the Light
i Committee's money, bat as the Light
j Co'iuuittec owes SUwO to the Electric
Light Co. now, that proposition was
1 antagonized and a half hour's discus,
t sioa resulted in the determination to
j take a popular vote on a special tax fir
i lighting pnriwses, next Fall, and in the
i present -ituation being let rest until
I next regular meeting.
| Another matter of general interest is
j the condition of the embankment of
i ventre' Ave., oil the west side of the
i bridge. Tht wall is giving away, and
I Mr. McNaiiit e s house 1 is threatened
1 with destruction, which would mean a
I damage suit, and the temporary closing
i of the street, but Mr. McNamee pro
] poses selling his lot to the R. R. Co.
| and buying one that the borough owns
oi can acquire title to on S. McKean
St., and the proposed dicker was re
ferred to a committee A few spiles
and logs would save that wall and the
street, but the houses must tir»t be got
t -a out of the way.

Bessie Angew, a member of the church

task by the elders, she claimed she was
doing nothing inconsistent with her

otherwise and sumuiondedhor to appear
before the church session for trial.
This she failed to do.
When the term of dancing school
closed. Miss. Agnew told one of the
members of the session that she would
not teach the school again as long as
she was a member of the church, but
as the threat was made that if she was
sessioned the matter would be taken
to the General Assembly, the session
decided to ask the advice of presbytery.

about dry
goods buying
Some people—not many—only see
the price si<lc of a purchase—the money
j to he paid.
Others—the great majority—demand
| merit--style and quality—that first, and
! price afterward.
Our method harmonizes the two
; features for universal satisfaction —choice
I goods at less prices.
| "Less prices" means less than you
get equal style and quality for any place
else—less because they're bought well —
from first hands for cash—and sold for
| small profit
Another feature that commends this
store to jour consideration is its large
assortmtnts.
Come and see, and take your own
time about it—we like investigation —do
everything we can to help it. Pays us
to do so.
o
See, either at the counter, or by
sample, what a royal collection of choice
Dress Goods are here at intermediate
prices.
75c. SI.OO, $1.25. $1.50.
An enormous collection of new
Dress Goods taking it all together—l2#c
to $3.50.
Made some important silk deals re
cently—the choice new things are priced
to interest you— 6o, 75, SSC, Jti.oo.
New Wash Goods 4c to $ I.2s —more
prettiness between 15c and $1.25 than
we think any one store ever submitted.
