The nominees of the fusion ticket
of Bradford county are as follow';* :
Benj. M. Peck, for president Judge ;
Gen. H. I. Madill, prothonotary ; C.
T. Hull, treasurer; Albert Morgair,
A. B. Summer, for representatives.
The Democrats placed in nomina
tion : Jos. Powell, for sheriff. It is
predicted that the fusion ticket will
receive the heartj' support of the
democrats and a few republican
kickers bift will fall at least two
thousand votes short of being elect
ed. An independent ticket set up by
either party is unpopular and is
very seldoin noticed by the Majority
of voters.
On the first day of September the
new law about boys smoking went
into effect. After that date the law
says, "no child actually or appar

ffrfy public streets, place or resort.'
Now let the boys who "appear to be"
under 16 years of age took out. The
penalty for violation" of the law is
not less than $2 nbf more than $lO
for each offence The law provides
also for punishing those who sell
"tobacco in Any form" to such
youth.

Porte. lie resides in the Green

A Sunday almost without a cloud
—bright, beautiful and winning;
rich in the splendors of a Summer
ended, fair in the first gems of Au
tumn's coming; a brown on the
fields and a haze on the mountains
suggtestive of the silent change in a
kingdom that corues not with ob
servation ; flowers blending their
wealth of colors over the garden
beds as at no other time of the year;
sun light falling warm at no<su to
pass in georgeous sunset as the cool
of evening comes; so much tliftttells
of parting time and jet so mnny in
vitations to linger in the woods, by
the stream# or in mountain retreats
familiar from acquaintance long
since made. These are glorious
days and this is glorious weather.
Bbys generally evince a taste for
some partiettlar avocation, and the
carctul observer can readily dis
cover what a boy's inclination's are.
There is much truth in the following
observation : "The greatest mis
fortune that can happen to a boy is
to be startbd on the wrong road
through life. No man lives but has
an adaptability for some particular
work. In that work he call excel,
and what is far better, in that woik
he can be happy. It is riot always
easy to tell what to do with the boy
but he should never be forced into a
life work that is distasteflil to hitn,
for he will neither niake of it tlie
success that he would of soiiiething
else, nor be happy ill following it*
And happiness is thb greatest re
ward that life offers to the pilgrim
journeying through iU"
On Friday night last a horse
valued at two hundred dollars was
stolen from the barn of Mr. Jacob
Corson of near Tivoli, Lycoming
coiiiity.' Mr. Corson accompanied

stolen a single line libra the stable
of George Rea's. Here they lost
trace of their man, however, and
their persuit proved in vain. On
Monday while children of Davidson

across a horse tied to a tree. They
ran to Ihe residence of James Peter
ma?! and informed him of their find
who proceeded by the aid of the
children to the spot and found the
animal to answer the discription of
the one stolen from Mr. Corson Mr.
Peternian untied it from the tree
and when lie was aboitt to start for
home,, was surprised to see the thief
only a short distance from him with
his hat full of blackberries. When
the man saw Mr. P., he took to his
heels through the forest. Mr.
Peterman restored the horse to its
owner on Triesday rtid says he
thinks he could identify the thief.

which heralded a weddihg day iri

interesting cferemotiy, arid the chan
cel afld sacntufiry, tvere through tlie
kindness and taste of loving friends
and near neighbors a very bower of
bliss for the nuptial hour. The
natural flowers aikl potted plants
were arranged in tasteful order and
the gateway to the Sanctuary was
tldorfied with bridal tributes. Tlie
cross of immortallea on this re-table
of the alter, was tlie handiwork of
the bride and the daughter of the
officiating clergyman; Among those

Mrs; I>r. Murrelle of Atliefis Pa.,

Frank Meylert, the portiere of the
Sacristry wr's thrown back by the
attendants of the groom supported
on the right by his best man, Mr.
Charles S. Maben of Galeton Potter
county, Pennsylvania, aiid on the
left bj' Rev. Samuel P. Kelly

gospel side of the alter and paused
at the chancel steps, while thft

Upon the approach of the bridal
procession lie turned from the east
and received the bride Miss Eliza
beth Downs leaning on the arm of
her father Henry T. Downs Esq.,
this place, followed by the members
of both familiey. The bfide passed to
the side of the groom Mr. Newton
C. Maben and the solemn service of

chancel steps. At the closing words
the bride was given away by her
father and fed by the officiating

The bride looked vefy sweet and
pretty, in a robe of nuns veiling,

ing ot snow flakes. Her hair was

ed in front and gathered in a close
Knot behind. The officiating clergy

JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS
Is a mutual exercise taken by a great many people, and, as 4s ihattir&l;
overleap the mark.
A CASE IN POINT:
A man was looking at our suits ft day or so since. lie admired them;
thought them stylish and etc. But when he learnad the price was only
115.00 a suit, he said : '-TIIEY CAN'T BE ANT iQOOD AT THAT
PRICE.'" "Why not ?" we said : "Well," he replied, "I never yet saw
a good suit as low as that." The man was reasoning from his experience
among high-price dealers. It's astonishing how these dealers have im
pressed the popiihlr mind with the idea that nothing good can be had
below their figures. WE ARE HAYING TO FIGHT THIS PREJU
DICE, and we're doing it with deadly effect. Wheti once the public
finds by actual test, that our $15.00 suit is the peer of any $18.0& stiii
thejr Over bought, good-by to Mr. High Price Our 815.00 dollar suit
arfe the wonder of the season to those who DO NOT JUMP AT CON
CLUSIONS.
