Jackson is a colored gentleman. Tllere is very milch need of a chufch in the Bostian school dis trict in Davidson tbwnship. Many of our citizens who attended the fu neral of Mrs. John Witmarsli held in the Bchool house at that place Sunday, were unanimous of this opinion. The neighborhood is thickly settled with Well-to-do farmers and a small contribution from each one would crest an edifice sufficient to accom modate the wants of the people. 112 The light is becoming more and mofe abbreviated. 1 t The building of n town is not tfn ; like efforts of business men to en— -1 large their business. In either case it requires money and "push". If a , man does not drive his business, it will either drive him, or die. So with the town the men of means must show a spirit of enterprise, I and improve the town, and make all ; possible effort to get business into the town.

The manipulators of the phone, were agreeably surprised and extend their many thanks to the ! company. Try the plan of paying cash for everthing you buy. Ifyotf have not got the ready monej', borrow it. The banker will loan it to you at a less rate of interest than you will have to prty the merchant for credit. When merchants sell on time, with out note aor security, they are forc ed by necessity to cover their risks by charging high for credit. It will not pay you to make a banker of your merchant. Pay him cash, even if you have t3 borrow the money with which to do it. Don't throw your old rubber boots and shoes away, says an exchange. Save them for the agents of chewing gum manufactories, who are now buying them up in all parts of the country. Pulverized rubber Itoots ar.d overshoes, flavored with vanilla, strawberry and other extract, make the nicest chewing gum. This is a pointer to the large number of the fair sex who pass their leisure hours in chewing the vile substance.

"I am thankful very often," said an Eagles Mere man recently, "that my father taught ifle how to shut a doof properly. It is something very few people know how to do. The great army of door stammers teems to be oh the increase and causes no end of annoyance. It is a simple matter aftct* passing through a door to turn around, take hold of the knob and close it gently but firmly, but comparatively lew prac tice it. To do so is a mark of good breeding, and I Certainly wonld not employ a boy or a girl who either slammed ft door, gave it a jerk to close it or lett it standiug open. The young people, however, are hot the only ones who do not close the doors properly. Many men and | women who pretend to be people of mauuefs arc the worst offenders." ) Tar smoke is recommended as a cure for diphtheria. The treatment is to put a few drops of tar, like that used in ship yards, on a warm store ' lid, and require the patient to inhale 1 and swallow the smoke teu times a ■ day for five minutes each time.

Jersey state prison, and her father is in the same kind of an in stitution in) Pennsylvania. The Wyoming Democrat of last week says: Wm. Steele, father of the notorious Eva Ray Hamilton, was the defendant in the case of Com. vs. Wm. Steele, wliercin he is charged with shooting at a young man named Lutes of Monroe town ship, with intent to kill. The evi dence showed that after being put out of a store by Lutes. Steele de liberately drew a revolver and shot at Lutes through the glass door of the store, the fcafl striking near where Lutes head had been an in stant before. After being out a short time the jury brought in a verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment, bfit recommended him to tbe mercy of the court. He was sentenced to pay a fine of five dol lars, the cost of prosecution, and undergo an imprisonment of one year in solitary confinement at hart? labor in the Eastern penitentiary. Why The New Road Down Loyat Sock Should bo Built. MR. EDITOR : As there seems to be a disposition by' some of the in habitants of Forks township to de fer the building of the new road from Forksville to LaPorto, via Loyal Sock &c : Allow me to pre sent a few consideiations why this important work should be early commenced. The distance saved is fully five miles. Now if we take' the vote at the last election the j townships of Hillsgrovc, Elkland and Fox and Forks, West of the Warburton Hill neighborhood we find is about 540, representing more than one-fourth of the population of the whole county. And this popu lation every time they travel to and from LaPorte for business or pleas ure ten miles unnecessary travel is added to the journey, and in c»*«o ot jurors and commonwealth wit-- uea.-ess, the county foots the bill. Again the travel and traffic to Eagles Mere will soon demand a better road, it the road referred to is built, a road from the county bridge at the World's end could on built along one branch of Double Run reaching Eagles Mere in seven miles from Forksville shortening the distance nearly two miles, avoiding hilly and dangerous road. This road also would be on exceedingly good grade. i Competent judges are of the op-- inion that the portion of the road in Folks township along the Loyal Sock could be built for not over $2,000, instead of $5,000 as some have estimated. This is jjiso an important road in bn ,_,«iig the Eastern and Western portion of the county nearer together* At present it requires two days for some dele gates to attend a political conven tion. This of course can be en dufed by the people but is hard on the politicians. D. D. First Qurterly Convention of the Suill* van County W. C. T. U., Union.
