ill health.
Miss Vinnie Eddy, who has been
ill the past week with grip, is again
out of doors occasionally.
Proth. T. E. Kennedy is having
slow recovery from his severe attack

It is said that many trees in Will

measures are taken to prevent it
spread the city will be treeless inn

An lowa woman says she can feed
a man properly on nine cents a day.
Almost any woman could afford a
husband at that price.
Bachelors are to be taxed in Tex
as. At 21 the tax will be light. At
:>"> it will be so heavy that only mill
ionaires (an pay it. Now let tin
railroad companies do the handsome
thing by offering reduced rates to
"maiden ladies" who desire to emi
grate to Texas.
Mrs. Griffith Phillips of Sones
town, who has been in very poor
health for several years was extreme
ly ill the fore part of this week, but
is now somewhat improved.
Last week we made mention of
Ex-sheriff Cotf recovering from an

Hi invitations were issued and a
arge number of young people gath
■red at their home and made the
X'casion a generally merry one.
Many valuable and useful presents
i ties ted to the popularity of Mr.
Landon.
A prominent granger says: Penn
sylvania Patrons of Husbandry arc
irst citizens then farmers. They
•ecognize the fact that a man's tlr.-t
luty is to the state. To preserve
ts existence the state will take not
>nly his property but even his life
*nd none count the claim un reason -
ible. This claim of the state being
idmitted, the lirM concern of all
should be for the general good.
S'one have more confidence in the
food intentions and intelligence of
he great majority of the people of
the country than the members of the
grange. They are satisfied that the
interests of the farmer will not suff
er when fully made known to the
public. The unequa. burdeu of tax
ation upon real estate and the unjust
liscrimination against farmers*were
not laid upon them by the will and
intention of the majority. They
will accept government of the peo
ple, by the people, through the in
itiative ano referendum without any
misgivings.

The convening of a County School
Directors' Convention at the Court
llouse, in Laporte, Thursday, March
23, is a wise course taken and a com
mendable action on the part of Co.
Supt. J.F.Reese Killgore, in making
the start JtluU late years have com
menced to feel the need of its exist
mice. Now, that the first step has
been taken, much good is sure tore
• nil from the movement as it will
open a new channel for the directors
io acquire a fund of knowledge vast
ly important for him to possess. All
school directors should avail them
selves of this great opportunity. It
i-~ hoped l>v all friends of education
that every school director in the
county will show an interest in the
welfare and advancement of our
school system and be present at this
Convention. In looking over the
program there is found announced
a variety of subjects which have
needs of much study and considera
tion on the part of directors, that
they may be better able to direct
ways and means for better schools,
better scholars, better citizenship and
deal greater justice to the taxpayers.
T'le natural result of these conven
tions will show itself in opening up
a field of greater possibilities for the
better understanding of school work,
and more careful investigation of con
ditions. The assembling of direc
tors suggests the possibilities which
may come about by sound, reafcoaable [
debate: possibilities that will bring
about wiser solutions of kiiottjr*fttes- j
(ions constantly confronting school!
boards; possibilities will exist which!
will tend toward wiser conclusions \
of affairs that have heretofore in!
their discussion demonstrated the
fact that range has had a greater '•
part than reason. Yes, Mr. Directors,
get together, reason together, take I
counsel from experienced educators ,
and you will be that much bettor'
prepared to discharge the duties of I
your important office. No school j
ilirector can afford to disrespect his!
iflice or his constituents by remain !
iwa.v from the initial meeting.
The Willianisport Gazette and!
Bulletin says that several friends of
William Col ter of Jamsion City, j
have visited Willianisport in an ef
fort to secure the services of a de j
;cctive for tin' purpose of protecting
Mr. Corter's daughter, Mabel, from
lie "Black Hand" society, members!
if which have threatened her life, i
These gentlemen brought with them
i note sent to Miss Cortor presuma
ibly from membere of the society, as
t was signed "The black hanjl,"
hrcatening her with death if she
lid not comply with its requir- j
ments. The note required that shej
ie at the dam on Fishing Creek, at j
Jamison City on March l:>, at a eer
lain hour, there to meet certain ;
'itemhers of the "Black Hand" and
>e prepared togo away with them, j
This requirement was made so Miss!
'orter states, because she possesses,
•ertain secrets of the society which
the members fear they can no long
er trust her \\ ith. The family mov-'
■d from l'eale some months ago, and
lie girl has constantly been shadow
'd by Italians since.
1 desire to thank the patrons and
he friends of our public school for
lie kindness they have shown, by i
•ontributiiigso liberally toward pay-'
ing for a book ease for our school j
