THE SUNDAY SCHOOL FIELD.
Fnlbuslastic Work Till Year Will Mir ke
I ul loo a Front l ine County.
The showing made at the State
Sunday School Convention at
Unl mtown a low weeks ago, says
the Pennsylvania Herald, as a
direct result of the adoption of a
standard for the county associa
tions to attain unto, proved to be
a great inspiration and sent the
tho delegates away with fixed
purposes and resoiute determina
tions. Five counties were placed
hig!i on the honor roll because of
tho splendid work accomplished.
Tho beautiful banners awarded
to these counties by President
Kei 17 on b half of the State As
sociation will unquestionably
prove to be a great incentive for
increased activity in many coun
ties during the year.
A word of wa;ntng, however,
should be sounded right at the
beginning of this year's cam
paign. To "get busy" simply
for the purpose of capturing the
prize of State banner at the next
State Convention would be a mo
tive deserving of defeat. The
Front Line position should be
striven for solely and purely be
cause of the incalculable benefit
it brings to the local school. To
bring to the loc vl school tested
and tried methods in teacing
God's Word and in securing de
cisions for Christ is the business
of the organized Sunday-school
work in Pennsylvania, and this
should be done independent of
prize banners.
The State Association, how
ever, delights to honor the coun
ty association that is standing
true to the purpose of its exis
tence and bringing about results
such as were shown at the State
Convention.
It will be well for all Sunday
school workers to study the
County Association Standard and
consider the p isition your county
now occupies and then consider
what individual help you can lend
to give it a more honored posi
tion. The Comity Association Standard.

Look una more at little Fulton.
Are you satisfied with its posi
tion ? We know yon want it in
the Front Line list. So do we
and that Is where it must stand.
But what are you going to do to
Help us get it up there f One
more point win make us a Star
From Philadelphia Through Here to Pitts
burg on a New Stale Highway.
The Franklin Repository says
it has information on very good
authtnty, that should the next
legislature pass a law creating a
highway across the State, that
the turnpike passing through this
place via Bedford, will be the
route selected, and that it will be
the purpose to place thereon a
lino of large automobiles which
will be run for the benefit of the
public from Pittsburg to Phila
delphia. This will take the place
of a trolley line on that route, as
no trolleys can be run on State
public roads, unless the trolleys
were there prior to the turnpike
being coudemned for a State
highway.
Printed By Request.
Mix the following by shaking
well in a bottle, and take in tea
spoonful doses after meals and
at bedtime.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargou,
one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. A
local druggist is the authority
that these simple, harmless in
gredients can be obtained at
uominal cost from our home
druggists.
The mixture is said to cleanse
and strengthen the clogged and
inactive Kidneys, overcoming
Backache, Bladder weakness
and Urinary trouble of all kinds,
if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease.
Those who have tried this say
it positively overcomes pain in
the back, clears the urine of
sediment and regulates urinatnn,
especially at night, curiny even
the worst forms of bladder weak
ness.
Every mau or woman here who
feels that the kidneys are uot
strong or acting in a healthy
manner should mix this prescrip
tion at home and give it a trial, as
it is said to do wouders for many
persons.
The Scran ton (Pa.) Times was
first to print this remarkable
prescription, in October, of 1900!
since when all the leading news
papers of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and oth
er cities have made many an
nouncements of it to their readers.

the afternoon of last Sunday,
SherilT J. G. Alexander, who dur
ing his almost three years of ter
vice as guardian of the peace of
this county, and who has never
been accused of shirking any
duty that came in his way, was
seen driving up South First
street. It was noticed that his
team was stopp?d in front of the
residence of Mrs. Mary Ann Kel
ly, aud that the Sheriff eutered
the house. In no very great
length of time, he emerged with
Miss Daisy Wink, handed her in
to his buggy. As it was Sunday
and the offices of the respective
committing Justices of tho Peace
were closed, the Sheriff did the
next best thing aud drove to the
Methodist Episcopal parsonage
Mr. Bryner, the pastor, was at
home. To Mr. Bryner, the Sher
'IT exhibited the "warrant" issued
by Protbonotary Harris, which
upon examination, the preacher
found to be correct, and forth
with read the law in such cases
made and provided, and upon re
ceipt of costs, vave a ' commit
ment" authorizing the Sheriff to
convey the said Daisy Wink to
the county jail, and there to re
main in the custody of the said
sheriff, until the decision of the
said parson be reversed by a
higher court.
The Sheriff and Daisy then pro
ceeded to the jail, which, of course,
is the residence ol the sheriff, the
great doors swung open, the par
ty entered, and the doors closed.
The Sheriff now calls Daisy,
Mrs. Alexander, and the boys
call her mother.
The worthy couple have the
