When Pennsylvania gets along to
a point where it can be depeudod
upon to givo a plurality of from
500,001) upwards for tho Republican
ticket, says tho Titusvillo "World,
it may be considered no more than
fair to take some Presidential tim
ber occasionally from within its
borders, but for the presont n
measly pluiality of 180,000 or there,
ubouts entitles it to no recognition.
It had been asked what compensa
tion a farmer is entitled to for erect
ing and maintaining a watering
trough at tho side of a public road
The road law ol lou says tliat any
one who may erect a suitable water'
ing trough on a public road or high
way and keeps the same in repair is
entitled to a foo not exceeding live
dollars, to bo agreed upon at the
timo by the party erecting the
trough and the township supervisor
These watering troughs shall bo ap
proved by the supervisor, and but
one trough iu every live miles can
have the benefit, the oldest trough
having the preference.

John C. Atnig will please accept
our thanks for an invitation to the

J. W. Hostcrman of Woodward,
has purchased the Enterprise bakery
of William Romig in this place and
took possession of it on Monday
morning. Mr. Hostermau has had
seven years' experience in tho trade,
during which timo ho worked for
somo of the best linns iu this State.
But his bread talks for itself nud is
tho best recommendation that can
possibly bo given him. Try it.
"Why don't you publish a paper
like that ?" said a merchant, throw
ing down a copy of a city daily.
"Why don't you advertise like thai ?"
said tho publisher of tho county
paper, ns ho turned to n fullp&ge
advertisement that brought to the
publisher of tho city paper $.150 jer
issue, and tho merchant went lome
prepared to saw wood and take any
thing tho publisher saw fit to .ve

Farmers everywhere are wived
to be on tho lookout for the RuJuu
thistle. It is a monster that way
well bo dreaded. A Bingle plant
which is on exhibition iu Minneapolis
measures live feet across and s'ands
live feet higu. This mass is globular
in form and races before the winds
of the Dakotas, scattering b"a"
along in ita track. ERhor n .
uit.e out t-iH weed, or it will driv i
him out, is the opinion of those who
have studied it.
A number of our readers have
asked us what had become of tho
ittlo Herman boy of near Bellefonte,
of whoso cruel treatment we pub
lished an account at tho timo ho was
discovered. In reply wo will say
that ho was not ablo to appear
against his tormentors at tho last
term of Centro county court, and
tho case was postponed to tho April
term. Meanwhile tho beasts who
tried to torture hiui to death lan
guish iu jail.
Tho power of song is illustrated in
a custom on tho railroads of north
ern Florida. Whenever a train
crosses tho Suwaueo River tho con
ductor announces tho fact iu each
car. If any passenger has never
heard "Way down upon tho Suwaueo
River" this particularizatiou of the
streciu must seom peculiar, and tho
Suwaueo is liko a dozen other rivers
in tho same region, and those are
passed without comment from tho
conductor.
Tho Now Carlisle (Ind.) Gazette
say : "Mr. Johnson recently made
an interesting test of feeding wheat
to pigs. Ho had fourteen rather
mangy pigs averaging 150 pounds
that were running over tho farm. He
shut them up and began feeding dry
wheat. For two weeks they seemed
at a standstill and then began to
gain. At tho end of six weeks they
averaged 220 pounds. This pays
much better than selling wheat at 50
cents.
Soon after wo took control of the
Post iu 1M2, we started the publica
tion of a roll of honor and wo were
made tho butt end of a good many
jokes on account of it by our broth
or editors, who callod it "a Dutch
Snyder county custom." It did not
occur to them nt the time that every
namo published in tho roll of honor
served as n receipt to tho subscriber,
and meant a saving of tho time,
trouble and oxpenso of sending the
same by letter. Besides our roll of
honor has become almost as good as
a certiucato or Honesty, ami is a
matter considerably looked after.
Our brethren of tho press are drop'
ping into the custom beautifully one
by oue, and the most recent convert
is Charles R. Kurtz of the Centre
Democrat, Bellofonto, Pa. Come in
Charloy, out of the wet.
MIDDLEBUUG II, SNYDER CO., PA., MARCH 3, 1894.

Honorable ThaJ. M. M.ilion,
the man whom we all delight to hon
or, has served this Concessional
District one term and has proven
himself worthy of the high honors
conferred upon him. You will iw
an opportunity to show your en
dorsement of him by voting for his
nomination at the Republican Pri
mary text Saturday. Let us, by a
unanimous endorsement of him,
show thedoniocruts that theieishar
mouy in our camp nud that we are
willing to turn their defeat into a
rout in nominating Mr. Malum by

iUO oouffc, wuitiuinu j u 'end-
ers have asked us for nu t .pin. itiou
why they did it, as it was claimed
that a saviim of from 2 to 4 per
cent, could bo made by issuing or
ders which would bear interest after
demand as was suggested by the
Post in our issue of February
Iu roplj wo will say that we nsked
for such an explanation and were
promised one, but, notwithstanding
our repeated appeals, we have not
been ablo to obtain it. Tho Post is
at the service of any one who is able
to convince tho tax payers that bor
rowing money and paying tho coun
ty treasurer two commissions, or
five per cent., is cheaper than issuing
plain orders which would bear inter
est after demand (with a man stand
ing ready to redeem them as fast as
they are issued at 4 per cent.) on
which tho treasurer is entitled to
only 2J por cent.
Who'll undertake the job .'

A respected subscriber sends us
the following :
"I have been a reader of your Post

me instruction, sometimes it makes
me laugh and sometimes it makes
me so mad that I wish I lnul you
here to givo you a good pounding.
But I nm still willing to nave you

Thank you for your frankness.
When you think of pounding us tako

and don't. When you get real mad,
write out your madness, imagine
you are an editor uud send us your
Bcreed. If its well done perhaps we
will print it, for criticism is tho
ballast that keeps a man on his feet,
and though wo own tho typo and

The Best Kind of Property.
The Lawreneebiirgh (Ind ) llii-
ti r, whoso editor is also a banker,
says : We predict that tho man who
owns a farm will, in live years hence,
realize one third more for it than he
can at present. Even now', iu the
midst of what may be called close
times for money, the impiiry for
farms is increasing in this part of
the county at least. Our exchanges
show a larger number of calls for
moderate sized f irms than has been
noticed for some years past, while
the "for sales" of farm property aru
exceptionally few. Don't bo iu too
much of a hurry to get rid of the old
farm, is the advice we give to young
men. Stick to the farm.
The Private Soldier.
We givo below an extract from a
response by Comrade James T.
Owen, of Tyrone, to the toast, "The
Privato Soldier," at tho twenty-first
annual banquet of the Fifteenth
Penn'a Calvalry at Philadelphia on
tho loth of last November, in which
ho expresses a sentiment too much
lost sight of, tho merits of the pri
vate soldier, there being a great dis
position to enlarge upon tho e Hurts
of tho otlicers and discount those of
the private :
"The privato soldier will never bo
understood. We have learned to
night that our colonel has been
awarded a modal at Washington,
and although that retlects honor up.
on us, wo do not get any of that
houor ! wo feel that wo have the
honor, but wo get no houor iu public
estimation. I belicvo that many a
battle has been won through the in
dividual soldier doing something for
which tho colonel or general would
get tho credit ; many n battle won
by boiuo deed of bravery of tho pri
vato soldier, or something suggested
by him to tho oflicer. I have acted
as orderly to General Rosecrans and
General Thomas and know of sug
gestions made to tho General not
directly, but through his subordi
nate ofilcors which whou followed
out have led to victory."

Low Rate Excursions to Washington D.
C , via Pennsylvania Railroad.
The two remaining excursions to
tho capitol will be run on March 22
and April l'.Uh, and judging from
tho extensivo patronage accorded
previous trips there is every likeli
hood of there being even a greater
number of people who will avail
themselves of the extremely low
rate in effect for this popular series.
Tho cntertiiinniout afforded by a
visit to the handsomest city in the
Union, bd'1 he eduoJnnal benefits
fol" -ection pt " nrhi.
tractions there, will ru. repay
tho journey which, in any event, is
rendered exceedingly pleasant by
tho admirable train service of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
A stop-off nt Baltimore will be al
lowed within the limit, which is ten
days, and return trip may be made
on any regular train within the pre
