Jurymen who are not present in the court of Columbia county, to answer their Lames when called in the morning hereafter, will be fined and lose their day's pay, such a course being announced by Judge Evans. One of our exchanges says that at this time of the year when the weather is too cold for comfort in freight cars and other places along the road, tramps welcome a com mittment of from thirty to sixty days to jail where they know they will be well fed and cared for. Hicks, the weather prophet says that as the year goes out there will be storms of sleet and snow, ex treme cold weather, seismic shakes auroral lights, and electrical dis turbances. 11 is predictions for December have come to pass so far as the month is spent, in that it has been a stormy, blustery winter month. He says there will be a regular storm period central on Christmas day. As has been the custom for sever- J al years past, the Sunday Schools i of the • Methodist and the Baptist! church will unite in holding their' Christmas exercises which will take | place on Christmas Eve at the Bap tist church. Christmas itself is but an observ ance of the greatest and divinest gift ever made to the world. So there is plenty of Christmas giving that is done in the right spirit. It is true that much of the giving of gifts is far from being in keeping with the real spirit of the sacred day or in ac cord with reason. Gifts made for the discharge of some obligation, or because something is expected in re turn, are worse than vulgar at a time when different motives should j hold sway. The spirit of giving is I .more important than the gift itself. ! Some mere trifle of a trinket may serve to express remembrance and ; a flection that gives joy and cheer to h heart, while a costly bauble may express only temporary interest and give but momentary gratification. Mr. Benjamin Speary, formerly of this county, but who of late years-has been living at Centralia, \V. Va., gave some of his friends in this county a great surprise a few days ago, by coming in upon ' them very much alive, word hr.v --j ing been received here last spring .that he had died in West Virginia. Mrs. E. Louiso Barrows is visit ing her sister Mrs. E. A. Heim or Baltimore. Miss Olive Birrows will also spend Christinas week at Baltimore. Mr. Jacob Cray of Hughesville died ou Wednesday aged about 80 years. Mr. Gray had been enjoying excellent health and was in full pos session of all his faculties up until last Friday when he was stricken with paralysis after which lie was unconscious until his death, lie is survived by five children. While Monroe Phillips was tit work for the Nordmont Chemical company above Jamison City, he removed his coat when he got too warm and while away for a few minutes it caught fire and burned up. lie lost his pocket book con taining B<>r> in money and sl3 worth of notes. Thirteen of the 2,000 school dis tricts in Pennsylvania remain un paid their allotment of the $5,500,- 000 appropriation for the current fis cal year, although their money has been awaiting them since the Hr-t Monday of June. These districts have neglected to file their annual reports in the office of the Superin tendent of Public Instruction. Mrs. S. H. Burrows of Picture Rocks, wife of the senior member of Burrows Bros. & Co., died on Thursday, December 13, aged 7.'i years. The funeral was held Sun day from the Baptist church of which the deceased had beeu a faithful member for many years. Robert M. Simmers the pure food agent has been reinstated after being suspended from the State Department since Oct 27. The re instatement was made by Pure Food Commissioner Warren at a meeting held 111 Harrisburg. The Women's Christian Tem perance Union of Columbia county are about to petion Jiulge Evans to issue an order closing all the bars in the county on Christmas Day. Judge SavarigM has already issued such an older in Northumberland county. On account of the saving it will make, several hundred dollars, the Wyoming County Commissioners have decided not to put the new primaries act in force in making nominations for Ihe spring elect ions. The new act provides that nominations for townships and borough ofiicers may be made in the old way, by caucus of the sev eral parties. For making local nominations the old way will prob ably be more satisfactory than the new way. John Kushua of Ricketts aged about thirty years, who was serious ly stabbed in the abdomen in a fight near that place, was taken to Wilkes- Harre on a special train Sunday morning and removed to the Mercy Hospital. Kushua and a number of men were employed in a lumber camp about six miles back of ltick etts. All of them boarded with one 111:111 and on S iturday night there was a lively celebration at the board ing house, l,iquor was the cause of the commotion and during the even ing a fig'it started among the men. It is claimed that the boarding boss tried to quell the tight and the result was that some of the men pitched onto the peacemaker, who used his knife when a fellow closed his teeth on his thumb.

UK<>, \vII.BCK McCLIXTOCK, Administrator. Foley's Honey Tar heals lungs and stops the cough. Secretary t'.oorge R. Drake of the New Hampshire stnto gruuge, being asked by the editar ol' this department for au opinion 0:1 this subject, said: "It is my decided opinion that it Is better to pay the actual traveling expenses of the delegates in attendance at the state grange, but it does not seem best to pay their expenses for board. "The New Hampshire state grange oUlcers, the. forty deputies and the masters and their wives or husbands of each subsordlnate and Pomona grange in the stale draw pay from the state grange for the actual amount of car :tud stage fare, and each is paid $1.25 per day for the time In actual attend ance at the meeting. "The committee on mileage and per diem can easily make lip the expense account of the session from the printed list of railroad rates always at hand, which is 1 cent a mile for the round trip. By paying each delegate and le gal attendant at the session a specified sum we avoid any complications and very much simplify any delicate ques tions that might arise concerning any extravagant board bills." The KronKc ami Tempernnce. The question occasionally arises In grange communities as to what the position of the grange is concerning temperance. At the last meeting of the national grange the following resolu tion was adopted: Rpsolved, That the grange hereby re ews its fealty to temperanco in nil '.hings; that it emphasizes its belief that '.he degrading American saloon ought to be carefully and rigorously guarded until it can be abolished and In tho meantime be made and held to a strict responsibility for the harm It does, and that it believes that every community should bo empow ered by law to vote every saloon from Its midst or borders. Tile I'urty HomJoo. .lust as we expected, Maine Demo crats are attributing their defeat to Bryun's unwise utterances, and the Buckeye Democrats asked the "peer- Jess" to keep out of their stnte until after the election.

Mr. Bryan lias defined the word "trust." It means any corporation that controls 50 per cent of the output. If this seems likely to commit the par ty to anything dangerous or unpopular Mr. Bryan will hasten to explain that it Is only his personal opinion and not necessarily binding. Freeport (III) Journal.
