Hood's Sarsaparilla Calender for
for 1893 is out and may bo obtained
at the drug stores. It is one of the
most beautiful that the firm
has ever issued and the edition was
the largest ever printed by any one
concern, being over ten millions of
copies. There are two faces on the
, calendar, both of children, repre-
Ailaijr ''Suihaiet and M WiUf."
The design was by one of the most
t)'.fted artists in tho country, and
the coloring is most exquisite Tho
calendar is not only beautiful, but it
is also useful, as it presents all tho
desired information concerning as
tronomical events during the year.
If your druggist does not have
Hood's Sarsaparilla Calendar it may
bo obtained by sending six cents in

An exchange tells u story how a
preacher tested the effect of tho hard
times upon his congregation. He
requested everybody who were pay
ing their debts to arise in their seats.
Every man, woman aud child ex
cept one, instantly arose. After they
were again seated he requested any
who were not paying their debts
to arise and remain standing uutil
counted. The long individual, with
a care-worn face and moth-eaten
suit, slowly assumed a perpen
dicular position. The minister ask
ed: "How is it, my friend, that you
are the only man in my congregation
that is unable to meet his obliga
tions!" With unfeigned meekness
he answered: "I run a newspaper:
my brethern here who have just
stood up lire subscribers, and"
"Let us pray," interrupted the
minister.

"Celluloid" collars and cull's nro
one of the greatest blessings that
was ever brought to mankind by the
genii of invention, especially the
mau w hose occupation demands that
he wear his Sunday clothes every
day, as Bill Nye puts it. A daily
change of linen runs into a consider
able laundry bill in tho course of a
year. ''Celluloid' makes it possible
to add this item to the year's savings.
Many men when buying waterproof
collars and cutis make tho mistako
of believing that it's all tho samo so
long as they are called "celluloid."
This is a gi t vious error. Tne"Ct 1
ljloid" collars and cutis are peculiarly
made, being in reality a linen collar
or cuff covered on both sides with
pure waterproof "Celluloid." This
prevents cracking, and increases tho
durability of tho article. When
soiled, it can be wiped off with a
d cloth and made to look equally
j ' Veil as the most skillfully lnun
d.'vl linen. All disatisfactiou with
"cifluloid" collars and cuffs can be
avoided by looking or the trade
mark, "Celluloid" stamped ou the
inside of every piece.

The Vendue Season.
The coming spring salo season w ill
likely be a very brisk one as num
bers of fanners have already been
looking ulnnit for auctioneers. In a
few weiks our columns will com
mence to fill up with vendue adver
tisements of farm stock, Xv. All
persons who contemplate to hold
salt s bet ween imw ami spring, and
wh' have already fixed upon dates,
should send theiii :u, together with
their plao-s of residence, fur publi
cation, us by so tloing thir neigh
bors will be enabled to fix upon such
dates as W ill not ilitel fere. Wc pub
lisli ull such not ices gral uitoiisly for
those who have their bills printed at
this office, or who ailverti.se their
sales iu the columns of the Post.
Persons geneiully know what the
circulation of the Post is in their
neighborhoods, and should take ad
vantage of the oppoitunity of in
serting their sales in tho paper hav
ing the most inllueiice among (lit
people. Without advertising, sales
would prove a failure. You must
all employ printers' ink to help your
enterprise; tho neglect of doing it,
ou account of tho few dollars it
costs, frequently results in great
loss, perhaps amounting to hun
dreds of dollars, for the want of lib
el al bidders. . What is worth doing
is worth- doing well ; so adertise
right while you are at it and don't
let tho dime before your eyes ob
scure the gold englo iu the distance.
The Post offers you the best adver
tising medium in Snyder county.
Its register of sales' is constantly re
ferred to by every person interested
id vendues. People expect to find
alee ttdrerHtxid u.- V"jat. 14 is
therefore to everybody's interest to
advertiso in its colums. Our Job
Department turns out most attrac
tive sale bills. Our paper is huge,
heavy, strong and all colors, the typo
plain and bold, and tho cuts utt ra

Imprisoned for Debt.
Wm. II. Strawser of Hcrndon,
formerly of Snyder county, w as put
in tho Sunbury jail last week.
Strawser failed to pay tho damages
and costs in a breach of promise case
tried in the courts of this county in
1S91 brought by M. Louisa Shetterly.
The debt with interest is $11 1.U7.
Tho case is mi unusual one, and
will interest lawyers and jurists. It
is not often that a man is sent to
jail for debt in these days of free
dom. . Under the common law,
brought over from England by the
colonists, ' imprisonment fur debt
was an" -ordinary occurrence. In
1842 I Legislators of Pennsylvania
repuaj ' ttutos of the, "
law, leaving only a few exceptions
by which a man can 1k imprisoned
for debt and Strawser's case was one
of them. Ho must stay in prison
until the debt is paid.
