The Board of County Commission ers of Columbia county are up against a proposition, inasmuch as they are unable to get the taxes col lected at Centralia. Nobody will take the job because of the risk of losing money. The town is mostly made up of a coining and going pop ulation and many of them foreigners, which makes the collection of taxes very difficult, and no one is willing to give bond tor tho amount of the tax duplicate which amounts to about sl.'ioo county taxes and s.V><ll) town taxes. Csually the collectors are able to collect but little more than half of the taxes. A New York state judge refused to issue naturalization papers to a number of applicants on the ground that too many ignorant .foreigners have been admitted to citizenship, without knowing what obligations they assume.

If hoys were aware of the severe penalty that can he imposed for steal ing vegetables or fruit of any tie script ion from other peoples land they would stop and think a long time before taking the chance of committing such acts of depredation. According to the act of Assembly governing the same where parties are founlt guilty a fine of fifty dol lars can be imposed and upon failure to pay, the guilty party can be sen tenced to jail to serve one day for each dollar tine. The sentence may be made lighter but the manner of imposing it cannot be changed. Labor I'nion men in the sections of Wilkes Harre and Scran ton have started a movement to boycott the beef trust as long as prices remain at their present high mark. They say that the loss in the trade will i force the trust to reduce prices. I'nion leaders say they may as well ; abstain from meat now, because if' the prices keap soaring the working j men cannot afford to buy it. The Towanila Reporter Journal of; last week contains the following ar-j tide corning a notorious character j who several years ago made his home j at this place for a short time: "Horace L. Cole, a noted criminal, i preacher, newspaper man, inmate of prisons and author, was arrainged before City Judge Lusk at Cort land Saturday afternoon 011 the charge of grand larceny in the sec ond degree, in the alleged stealing of a horse and wagon from the livery stable of Price and Lane, Cortland. When Judge Lnsk introduced Cole to District Attorney Chase his face lighted up and he said to that otticial: "How do you do. I don't know whether I'm glad to meet you or not." His hearing was adjourned i as the grand jury was in session and • his case will probably be brought l before that body." Joseph Sick, DEALER IN Flour, Feed and Meal, Cherry Mills, Pa.

Also lard oil for mechanical use which I sell very cheap. j Call on me for special, prices on large quantities. i JOSEPH SICK, CHERRY MILLS, HA. | Wttcrson's Warning Against "Isms." Colonel Henry Wnlterson made a apeech |at tlie opening of the Kluegrrtm Fair in Lexington in which he warned llie peo ple of his State against the intrusion of I certain ••iriins," ami counseled them to | live without hypocrisy liy adhering to | the eiiandard of morals ot Old Kentucky. WARNING AOAIVST "I protest against that religion which i 8 tnds the sugar arid waters the milk be fore it goes to its prayers. I protest against that morality which poses as a saint in public to do as it pleasfs in pri vate. As the old womin said ol the old man's swearing, if there's anything I do hyhomiuate it is hvpocracy. In my opin ion those things which threaten Ken tucky are not the gentlemanly vices ot the racecourse and the sideboard, but purfidy and phariseeism in public and in private life. "The men who made the Hluegrass fa inous, who put the brand of glory upon its women, its horses and its vintage, were not ashamed to take a drink nor to lay a wager, though they paid their losae* and understood where to draw the line. They marked the distinction between moderation and intemperance. They did not need to be told what honor is. They believed, as I believe, that there is such a thing as pretending to more virtue than honest mortals can hope to attain. "1 warn our people against the intru sion of certain 'isms' which describe tlieunelves as 'progress,' and muster un der the standard of what they call '(iod and Morality,' but which, fifty years ago went by a very different name; 'isms' which, take their spirit from Cotton Ma ther, not from Jesus Christ; 'isms' which, where they cannot rule, would burn at the stake; 'isms' which embrace the sum of all fanaticism and intolerance, propos ing that, instead ot the rich, red blood of Virginia, ice water shall How through the veins of the people; 'isms' which, in one word, would blot Kentucky out of the galaxy of stars and recreate her in the dread image of Maiue and Kansas. NO ANGLES BY I.EIiISLATIOX. "1 refuse to yield to these. Holding the ministry in reverence as spiritual ad visors, rejecting them, as emissaries of temporal power, I do not intend, if I can help it, to be compelled to accept a rule ot modern clericalism, which, if it could | have its bent and sway, would revive for us the priest-ridden systems ol the Middle Ages. Ido not care to live in a world that is too good to be genial; to ascetic to be honest; too nroscriplive to be happy. I do not believe that men can be legislat ed into angels, even red noseed angels. I"The blue laws of New England, dead letters tor the most part, did more harm to the people, while they lasted, than all other agencies united. 1 would leave them in the cold storage to which the execration of some and the neglect ol all consigned them long ago, riot embalm and import them to Kentucky to poison the meat and drink and character of the paople. I shall leave my home lile, my professional career and my familiar asso ciates to say whether I do not place, and have not always placed, the integrity ol man, the purity of woman and the sane tity ol religion above all aarthly things; but I hope never to grow to old to make merry with my triends and torget for a little that I am no longer one and twenty! When the time arrives lor me togo to my account, I mean togo shouting; togo with my living, and, as 1 never have lied to the people ol Kentucky, please Cod I never shall, I have told tliein a great many unpalatable tliiiigs' "1 have met their disapproval full in the lace. I have lived to see most ol my admonitions against tliife, that and the other vain hope vindicated by events. I want to live yet a little lonsrer still to tell the truth and shame the devil; but if ob scurity and adversity and neglect shall overtake me it will be a comfort even in the valley ol the shadow of death that from first to last 1 fought not for the speckled gospels of the short-haired wo men and the long-haired men of Babylon, but for the simple manhood and lovely womanhood of old Kentucky—never New Kentuckey, but always and forever. Old Kentuckey—your birthright and mine." WANTED —Men for all kinds ot woods work, teamsters, swampers, bark loaders, j log cutters, trimmers and sawyers. Good wages and nice ground to work on.
