Every body asks why A. C. Smith sells his shoes so cheap. Because ho buys direct from large factories and sells for cash or produce K rea mer, Pa. Sam. Mook of Mazeppa, was arrest ed last week because ho was sus pected of having killed his father who died Feb. 21th, IW4. The fath er's body was exhumed and marks of violence were found upon it.

As yet tho candidates are scarce and probably there will be no one who is willing to staud up to ho knocked down. We direct the attention of our read ers to the Borough ordinance pub lished in another column. Tho enact ments in this ordinanco are of vital importance to every citizen of the town. Tho public health is a care that daro not bo disregarded and hence wo advise our readers to read every word of it. Tho campaign in Lebanon county for November election-is apuirtUjtf a strange aspect, 'rue Kepublican County Committer has just issued the following edict: "Any candi date for tho nomination for any county office who gives out beer by tho keg or allows any olio to do so for him shall be ignored by the County Committee uud his name dropped from the list of candidates to be voted for." The people of Middleburgh were gratified 'to know that tho Cornet Band was not entirely u thing of the past, when they made their appear unco ou Memorial Day. At one time this organization stood secoud to nouo iu Central Pennsylvania and it was known uud is still remembered by citizens in every part of tho interi or of the state. Why can not this sturdy organization, whoso brilliancy could not be rivaled by that of the sun, again bo revived f Breathe a new life into it und make it at least what it used to be. The Republicans of Juniata coun ty on Monday nominatod the follow ing ticket: Assembly, H. Latimer Wilson, re-nominated i Sheriff, Jas. N. Roninger ; Register and Record er, Anson B. Will ; Jury Commis siouor, Lewis Degan. W. II. Kuufl- man was elected chairman of the County " Committee. Tho conven tion uppoiuted ''ongressioual con- fences who were instructed to urge tho renomiuat ion of Congress man Thaddous M. Mahon. The ticket is considered a very strong one. Tho Democratic programme of nominating Congressman Joe Sibley for Governor and then having J. T. Ailman. the Populist candidate, in Harrisburg some weeks ago, with draw in favor of Sibley, is likely' to fall through. Ailman is from Juni ata county, a lecturer for the State Grange Patrons of Husbandry, and pretty much of a man. So much so that he and his friends in the Pop ulist party are now urging that he be endorsed for Governor by the Democratic State Convention which will meet at Harrisburg on June 27. The Democratic leaders are natur ally quite alarmed at the situation, They do not want to endorse Ail man and they cannot get Ailman to withdraw iu favor of Sibley who they do want to nominate. The Sibleyitea and the Aihuanitos are about to engage in a hair-pulling contest that may show up some in side promises connected with the Populist convention.
