Tbe Primary Election.
Owing to the fact that returns
from some of the townBnips were
late getting in, we have not been
able to give as much information
concerning the vote Tuesday as
we wish. If everybody that got
a vote at the election should be
compelled to accept the office,
there would be a sledload of com
missioners, a wagonload of coun
ty treasurers, and more sheriffs
than there are rooms in the jail.
It was a jolly go-as-you-please
election. There were lots of
blanks, and there was nothing to
hinder a man voting for any of
his friends or people that were
not his friends. McPherson and
Butt will both be on the ticket at
the November election, and it
will then be decided which shall
preside over our courts.

ANOTHER B!(l DAY. IILIiRAH !
The Liberty Cell and Covernor Brum'
baogh and Party to Be in UlcCoa
nellsburg on Same Day.
Monday, October 4th will be a
big day in McConnellsburg. First
the Woman's Liberty Bell will be
in town between the hours of 11
a. m. and 2 p. m. This bell is a
replica of the Liberty bell that
every school boy knows all about,
and which is now in San Francis
co at the Panama Exposition and
attracting millions of sightseers.
The Woman's Bell was presented
to the Suffragists by Mrs. Katha
rine Wentworth Ruschenberger,
of Strafford. It cost $5,000, and
is so heavy that it is hauled on a
big auto truck wherever it goes.
Four able speakers travel with
the bell to explain to the crowds
that the bell stands now for the
same principles for which Old
Liberty Bell stood at the time of
the Revolutionary War. That
old bell proclaimed liberty to men
and the new one is proclaiming
liberty to women. It is hoped
that owners of autos will take
friends to meet the bell at the
county line and form a guard of
honor to escort it to McConnells
burg, and that all who possibly
can will take a few hours off to
see the bell and hear the address
es. A second event for that day
will be the presence of Governor
Brumbaugh and an escort of 100
persons who will make a 1000
mile tour of the State. This par
ty will take dinner in Chambers
burg and stop here in the after
noon. The Chautauqua.
Splendid ! Says Everybody.
Large Attendance. Auditorium
Crowded Last Night. Don't
Miss It.
The Chautauqua opened yester
day afternoon to a fairly good
house. Everyone who attended
came away so enthusiastic that
in the evening the house was
crowded and every one present
felt that McConnellsburg was to
be congratulated in being able to
land a series of such splendid en
tertainments at such a small cost.
It took some pulling on the part
of the Guarantors to get the thing
to moving, but after it started it
ran on high gear at a GO-mile
clip. There will not be a ques
tion about having one next year.

VIiat Do You Kcad Sunday.
For those who enjoy the best
of fiction for those who are
amused by clean humor for all
those who want the news as it
really happened for those who
take pride in their homes and
families for substantial and
worth-while people of that sort
The Philadelphia Sunday 'Press'
is the ideal newspaper. It is a
complete newspaper, giving you
every desirable feature, but none
that might be classed as undesir
able. A magazine said to be
the best in America. A womans
section that is a revelation. A
comic section that is clean and
funny. A sporting section com
plete. A news section trust
worthy, and an editorial page
that is a criterion. Read the
Philadelphia Sunday "Press."
