Another party from that township sent fine specimens to this office, but as there was no name on ti e package, we do not know whom to credit. Billy Sunday's Tea Commandments At a recent meeting Billy Sunday gave out the fol io Mr);? 10 commandments, with the statement that they are "Modern and unmistakable directions for right living. I-THOU SHALT NOT GOSSIP. There are three ways to spread the news telephone, telegraph and tell a woman. The devil is so afraid of some of you women he wouldn't get within 20 feet of you. II- THOU SHALT NOT COVET. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's cook, nor his au tomobile, nor his rubber-tired carriage, nor his pri vate yacht. Many a man would like to have his neighbors wife. You let her alone. III- THOU SHALT NOT TANGO, I'm against the rotten, licentious, hell-begotten dance that sends more girb to hell than anything else. I'm in favor of everything that the devil is against, and I'm against everything the devil is in favor of. IV- THOU SHALT NOT BE STINGY. Some would-be Christians are so stingy that they would steal flies from a blind spider. There are oth ers so mean that they sing through their noses to save wear and tear on their false teeth. V-THOU SHALT NOT HAVE TOO MANY BEAUS. It's hard to fool a real suitor, and a man doesn't want to marry a girl that's been pawed over by every young buck in the community. The frizzle-headed girl that sits up in a dark pirlor until all hours of the morning with one buck after another is on the way to perdition. VI- TIIOU SHALT NOT BE CONCEITED. A conceited man is like a cheap-skate restaurant where everything is in the window and nothing on the table but hot air. Self-conceit will always be a millstone around your neck. VII- THOU SHALT NOT DRINK. The man who says he can drink and let it alone lies. No mon ever intended to become a drunkard. Every drunkard started out to be simply a moderate drinker. If you believe you can leave it alone, why don't you? VIII-THOU SHALT NOT CUSS. One of the things that show the foundation of a man's character to be rotten is to hear him cuss and vomit out oaths. I would not trust a profane man any too far in any transaction. IX-THOU SHALT NOT DODGE THY DEBTS. Some haven't religion enough to pay their debts. Would that I might jerk oil a piece of clothing! If I did some of you would be left with only a celluoid collar and a pair of socks. X-THOU SHALT NOT FLIRT. Society takes no note of the flirtation on the street. It waits until the girl has lost her virtue and then slams the door in her face. I wish I could make a girl who flirts see herself as others see her. If you make eyes at a man on the street he will pay you . back. The Vagabonds. The Vagabonds that has been advertised to appear in the Audi torium July 29th, is a play of unusual interest. The basis of most all plays that are staged is love and for tune, but this one does not have so many love scenes that make one grow weary, but is lively and snappy from start to finish. Throughout the entire play, even to the end, you will be undecided as to who really will get the girl as well as the fortune, for the object of the one is the fortune, and of the other the girl. Like most plays, it3 end will be pleasing to you. You'll be glad you saw it, and say you got your money's worth. Short sketches of the various characters next week. Look for them.

Some Jitney Bus. While our friend Roy C. Crom well, of Mercersburg, is enabled by the use of his Reo truck to deliver promptly thousands of cases of soft drinks to his wide range of steady customers in Franklin and Fulton counties, that same truck comes in handy when he wants to convert it into a passenger car.

We take savage delight in re porting that the band of Gypsies that made so much trouble for farmers and others in this neigh borhood about two week ago, were arrested and heavily fined at soma point in eastern part of the State last week. There will be more bands pass this way this summer, and we sincerely hope that the thieving, filthy creatures will be promptly met by officers and hustled out of the County. Officers who fail to do so, lay themselves open to punishment for neglect of duty, because the law requires that $50 be collect ed in every county where nomads camp.
