It is said the statue of Justice on top of the courthouse at Towanda is gradually turning around, and an explanation of the phenomenon is asked for. Nothing simpler. She is getting ready to join the Keystone party. Two thirds of the office halders and most of the office seekers are executing it turn around just now, and Miss Justice has a good office and wants to keep it. She's turning around like the rest of 'em.—Canton Sentinel. Perhaps she is getting in a po sition to witness Bro. Baker's Hair raising, heart thrilling, snake jump ing stunts from Table Rock, which will no doubt be resumed with the first call of spring. Or the bridge building operations going on be hind her back may have aroused her curiousity to such extent that she cannot resist taking a peep at old Susquehanna. Again she may have heard of the talk about the East side station being an im portant posseuger depot of late. After all she is but a woman, and with all the interesting happenings yf the past year on the east side of -tlie river, we think the lady has done very well. Prof. Bell's aero plane alone was enough to make Miss Justice rubber over her shoulder. Even man with his natural lack of curiosity could not close his eyes to this great spec tacle. No Use For Grand Jury. Judge Fanning of Bradford County on Friday revoked the or der for the sitting of the Grand Jury for this week and there will be no criminal court in February in that county. This was done lo calise there were but. one or two cases to come before this Jury and the Court decided to dispense with the services of this body and save the county unnecessary expense. In a county the size of Bradford holding court without a Grand Jury is a very unusual thing. A certain set of unruly citizens of that place, who have kept the criminal court busy seem to have tired of their wayward actions and left the county in peace. IN DAYS GONE BY. j We have been requested by several persons to follow the ex ample of other papers throughout this section in reprinting each week a few items of happenings in this county a number of years ago. We are anxious to comply with any request that will tend to make the News Item more interesting to its readers and for this week have selected some items from the paper of Jan. 2S(, 1K97, (14 years ago this week) which we think will in terest our readers to note the changes the items reveal. Captain K. S. Chase of Eaglet Mere is on bake Mokoma this week with his celebrated ice plow, cutting ice fur YV. C. Mason, who has tin contract for filling the \V. A N. B. ice house at Ilughesville.

Tuesday, Mav 2.1911. J. Robert Molyneux, Ilillsgrove, Pa. It is stated that a comparison oi f»auge records fur a period of twenty years shows that the land surround ing the great lakes is being gradually tilted from northeast to southwest at such a rate that of two points 100 miles apart the northern rises five Inches with reference to the southern in 100 years. At Chicago tli« lake level rises aliout one Inch In ten years. It is predicted, therefore, that should this movement continue in almtit Si.ooo years all the upper lakes will dis charge into the Illinois river, the De troit and St. Clair rivers will tlow backward, carrying the water of l.ake Erie into Lake Huron, and the Niag ara river will run dry.—Exchange. Ellery Crossley is recovering from an overdose of saltpetre taken by mistake. The fact that he took enough to nauseate him no doubt saved his life. James H. Cook, who represented the Good Roads Machinery com pany in Northern Ohio the past year, has been appointed sales agent for Bradford, Sullivan, Wy oming and Susquehanna counties, and will have his headquarters in Towanda. Mr, Cook will handle everything in the building line from split-log drags to tile and pip ing for ditches. After July 1, Kill, carriers on the rural mail routes will be grant an increase to make their salary SIOOO per year. This will be very much appreciated by the carriers throughout this section of the country who have scarcely been able to keep down the expense of wear and tear on their equipment which on the mountain roads is no small item, add have anything left. More Than Their Share. It does seem as though the fam ily of Adam Morey of Mildred, Sullivaircounty was having more than its share of the hard things of life. Two weeks ago following a quarrel, his 19 years old son kill-j ed himself by shooting. Just a week after that the father bent with remorse and having refused food from the time the boy kdled ; himself, died. Now Mrs. Morey' is very ill with pneumonia, eon-j tracted, it is thought, while in at tendance upon the funeral of her husband.—Reporter Jourual | OBITUARY. | John W.

Colonial Law Invoked. An echo of that epoch in Ameri can history when William Penn was head of the proprietary govern ment of Pennsylvania is being heard in a small civil case being tried in Scranton. A colonial law relating to the rights of tenants and landlords is being applied, and, in accordance with the custom of that period, fifteen men comprise the jury. As there are but twelve places in the jury IK>X three of the jurors sit in spectators' chairs. Three of the fifteen may • "stand out" and the other twelve agree and render a verdict.

My doctor told me I had an acute attack of inflammatory rheumatism. I was in the hospital for weeks, but was scarcely able to walk when I left it. I read about Dr. Miles' Nervine bought a bottle and began to get better from the start, and for the past six months I have had scarcely any pain and am able to walk as well as ever." J.H. SANDERS, .P. O. box 5, Rockaway, N. J. Few medicines are of any benefit for rheumatism, but Mr. Sanders tells plainly what Dr. Miles' Re storative Nervine did for it. One ounce of salicylate of soda added to one bottle of Nervine makes an ex cellent remedy for rheumatism, which is now known to be a nerv ous disease and therefore subject to the influence of a medicine that acts through the nerves, as does Dr. Miles' Nervine Sufferers from rheumatism seldom fail to find relief in the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine, with salicylate of soda.
