Thanks of the editor are due to Mrs. Lizzie Tolbert of Big Cove Tannery for a box of fine Kiefer pears. This has been a "fruit season" but these were the largest and finest flavored we have seen. Mountain fires raged on both sides of the Cumberland Valley last week. Dillsburg was threat ened on the south side, and the big hotel at Doubling Gap White Sulphur Springs, on the north side. Hunters are blamed for carelessly firing the mountains. Fire of unknown origin started on Cove mountain along the Chambersburg pike last Thurs day and burned over about 100 acres before it was extinguished. Harry Hamil lost about twelve cords of wood. State Highway men from town, and a force of State Forestry men from Mont Alto, fought the fire from both sides of the mountain. It is thought by some that the fire originated from a spark from the road rolbr, but this i3 not certain. We do not think that we are unusually suspicious, neither have we been bilious for a long time; but, notwithstanding, we would like to know why so many news papers were led into advising farmers to sell wheat this fall un der, and at, the dollar mark, when all the while, wheat was leaving this country for Euroge in ship loads as fast as the ships could be secured to carry it. Perhaps they were right, for it is never safe to hold after good prices have been reached, but it had a queer ring this time. . Free, Free, Free, at The Irwin Store.

So many thousands of voters used this column, mainly to help elect candidates for the Legisla ture in local option or prohibition that a regular party has been created and ballots will have to be provided for its candidates at future primary elections. The Bull- Moose Party, the Roosevelt Progressive Party and the Industrial Party will disap pear from the ballot, a3 each of them failed to poll the necessary percentage of the total vote. The Keystone Party, which was in the same class, has been revived by D. Clarence Gibboney of Philadelphia and his associa tes preempting the title for the next election. A Personal Liberty Party can didate may figure conspicuously in the next Mayoralty campaign in that city. It has developed that the liquor issue was a factor in the big vote which was polled for Judge George Kunkel, of Dauphin, for the Supreme Bench. He came within a few thousand of defeat ing Judge Frazer of Pittsburgh, who had the backing of influen tial Republican leaders. Hon. Geo. B. Jlellott Thanks Voters, and Pledges Devotion to Duty.

FUNK -:- DEALER IN -:- High Grade Plain Pianos, Player Pianos, Organs, Victrolas, Rec ords, and Professional Tu ner, McConnellsburg, Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than good music. To have good music you must have a good instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike. The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and in a position to make good any. business transactions. Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is not all right you can come back at me. There are families in every part of this county that have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about me. Perhaps 'you want to trade your organ for a Piano, or Player Piano; or your Pla,m Piano, for a Player. See me. Let's talk it over. L. W. FUNK.
