While it will not be news to our home readers, we take the occasion to tell our distant read ers, who were former residents of the county, that we are hav ing winter and blizzards here like mother used to tell about Rev. Yearick will preach in the Reformed church next Sunday morning at 10:30 and in the Pres byterian church in the evening at 7 o'clock. The subject in the morning will be "Preparation," ;.nd in the evening "The Object" Nearly 48 per cent of the share holders of the Pennsylvania Rail road are women. That astute corporation permits them to have same voice in its affairs that men share-holders enjoy and yet the Corporation has not been driven into bankruptcy. Far from it! And still there are some persons who claim that woman's political enfranchisement will drive the nation into bankruptcy. As the season for measles ap proaches, we would repeat the warning given by medical men to be careful of the patient, and to see that every effort is put forth to prevent the spread of the disease. Measles are not the innocent things they were once thought to be. More deaths oc cur from measles than from some diseases commonly supposed to be more dangerous; and, besides, lifelong evil effects often follow badly treated cases. Scott Alexander, nho runs a public hack between this place and Mercersburg, arriving here at 9 p. m., had the time of his life getting home last Monday night The road from Mercers burg to the Gap is br.dly drifted; fortunately he had a good leader at the end of the tongue that took the drifts like a duck to wa ter. Thi3 encouraged the two "wheel horses to follow. In some places the three horses literally dragged the wagon through and over the drifts, pushing the snow with the front end of the wagon fa ed. Unlike the unfortunate mail sled which had a stiff ton gue, the horses could flounder from side to side and not break that member. A wagging ton gue is not considered a valuable asset in society, but in this case it proved an exception to the rule. Cora and Seed Oats. Besides the large number of horses, cattle, hogs, farming im plements &c, to be sold at the Bale at Geo. K. Nelson's on the 2Gth inst, there will be sold a bout 400 barrels of corn, a lot of seed oats, and a lot of nice hay. Notice to Supervisors. By order of J. W. Hunter, Deputy Highway Commissioner, I request the road Supervisors of the several townships of Fulton county to meet at the Court House in McConnellsburg, Wed nesday, March 4th, at 1.30 p. m., for the purpose of reorganizing the Fulton County Supervisors' Organization. . An act passed by the last ses sion of our legislature calls for the road supervisors to meet at least once a year at the County seat to talk over problems in road building and repairing. The law provides that each supervisor shall receive two dollars per day for not more than two days and three cents per mile actual travel to and from such meetings. The township roads are now under the control of the State Highway Department which will dictate how much work shall be done. Hon. J. W. Hunter will have charge of this work and has laid down a set of rules, fifteen in number, to be followed by the supervisors. Failing to comply with these rules the township will forfeit their 50 per cent, bonus. Mr. Hunter will attend this meeting and will give the super visors a detailed explanation of the rules. It is the duty of every supervisor in the county to at tend this meeting, as well as all citizens who are interested in the road question. Frank Ranck. President Fulton County Road Supervisors' Association. New Money Order Scheme. President Wilson has signed the bill to regulate the payment of Postal Money Order, so that the new scheme is now the law of the land, although it will re quire a few months to work out rules and regulations necessary for carrying out the law. The bill provides for the issuance of postal money orders payable at any money order office even though drawn on a specific office and will, according to the post master general, greatly increase the volume of postal money order business and prove a great help to the business public giving, as it does, to the postal money order the virtues and convenience of a bank draft.
