Jit Pit VOLUME 13 McCONNELLSBURG, PA.. SEPTEMBER 21, 1911. NUMBER 1 36 PEGS; 11 HOLES. Thirty-Six flood Men from Which Id S e lect Candidates to Fill Eleven County Official Positions PRIMARIES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 At the election on the ninth day of November, the voters of Fulton County will elect eleven persons to fill the various county offices, as follows: One person for the office of prothonotary, re gister and recorder, and clerk of the courts; one person for the of iice of sheriff, one person for the office of associate judge, one per son "or the office of county treas iirer, three persons for the office of county commissioner, one per 11 A A . sod ior aistrict attorney, ana three persons to serve as county auditors, Thirty-six persons have signi fied their willingness to serve. each has announced his prefer ence for the offices to be filled and is busy among the people emphasizing his respective claim When the final contest is ended in November, twenty-five of the thirty-six, must o" necessity "take their medicine." They are all a jolly good set of fo'lows, and as they jostle each other in their pilgrimages around the county during the day, it not unfrequently happens that tbe most active rivals sleep together m some farmer's home during the night. ,So far as we know, the campaign is clean, and the candidates are following the usual custom of making a person al canvass of all the voters in the county. It would be a relief to the farmer and to every other voter, and save the candidates a lot of time, slavish labor, and cigars, if the personal canvass should be done away with. Uowever much, a voter may dislike to discriminate in his choice of one among a number of good fellows, as he must do at the primaries, he cau vrte for only one. Since this is the case, every voter should discharge the duty conscientiously, and vote for the man whom he believes to be the best qualified for the posi tion sought The same common sense should be exercised in the selection of a public official that is exercised in selecting a farm hand, a doctor, or hiring a law yer the best that may be had for the money. i he following is a list oi those who are asking your support at mo coming primaries, Septem ber liOth: DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

He was com polled to cut down the'tree to re lease the animal. Fortunately the colt was not much hurt WHO IS MY BROTHER? Mrs. W. H. Cisney.

Inasmuch As Ye Have Done It luto One of the least of These My Brethren, Ye Have Done it untoMe.-Matt. 25:10 Written for the Nkws, In this day, when the man of business is tied down by reason of rivalry and keen competition, and he of less?r means, because of the ever increasing cost of liv ing, it might seem that no one was left to attend to matters ct graver importance the moral wollbeing of a busy workaday world. He who thinks that because a few people are bad, aud many more indifferent, that the great universe is on the verge of col lapse, is plainly and painfully wrong. Much depends upon the char acter of the man or woman from whom we get our information re garding the world's rar ral con dition. He who is actively en gaged iu the greai work of re demption, seesonly victoiy ahead; the other deems the conflict too treat, and retires muttering something like "Things are go ing from bad to worse." By far too many of us stand aloof from the task of bettering conditions. You and I are tbe people who must shoulder the re sponsibility if things go wrong, To get the best there is in life and enjoy It, we must gather up the blessings which an all-wise Creator has placed within ou reach thankful that those bless ings are to be had. Physiologists toll us that juvia conversation during meals is con ducivo to good digestion. Bu ot me tell you that a hearty ap preciation of these blessings goes much farther toward their real good "Giving thanks in al things. Christ healed ton lepers, and one, only ono, returned to give thanks. "Where are the nine?" Did they fail to appreci ate their restoration, or onlv fail to render thanks? In Psalms 07:2, wo have this suggestive admonition: "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so." Do we look to the great for gratitudo? or do wo expect appreciation only from those whoso boast is superior in telligence? Do we judgo by ex tcrnals? Alas! too often, aud mistakenly. Recently there passod through ''ulton county three men, who, were making thoir way afoot, trudging over bad dusty roads, under a burning sun, to Everett to seek employment of a big lum ber firm. Going up Sideling Hi they were overtaken by an auto mobile aud were asked to get in, ust imagine their agreeable surprise, and feel if you can tho contrast afforded by the soft spriug cushions, and increased pood and the "hitting the pike." When Everett was reached one of the men looked up into the kindly face of the driver and voiced his appreciation in this homely lash ion: "This is the kind of stuff, old man, that takes you to heav en." Did his hickory shirt, and usty shoes bespeak the man, ox God's sunlight lVuminod his sou'? Ah! this was the light which lit p his countenance as that weath er beaten man said Good bye. Conditions arc better than we sometimes imagine them to be. ot us thnnk God. People are better than they seem to be. l.et s encourage them. A busiuess man iu a large city once said to the writer, "I treat " men as rascals unf 1 have found out better." Should we not reverse this, and treat aU as worthy beings, at least, until we have found them to be otherwise? We have many and rich blessings 1 around us, and the Great Giv er reasonably expects us to use and appreciate them, and , to re turn thanks for them. JURY DISAGREED.

This laudable cus tom should be perpetuated by the annual planting of trees, vines and shrubbery on the school grounds, aioug our highways, in public parks aud wherever there is need of shade and beauty." Sixty School Directors. . The new school code legislates every school director in Fulton county out of office. This gives especial interest to the election of the new boards. Tbe number ousted out of their office in this county will be seventy-two di rectors. The number to be elect ed will be sixty. As the schools are Fulton county's important secular possession great care should be taken in the choice of directors. Subscribe lor the Niws. J. W. Deavor, of Taylor was in town on business Monday.
