Avoid Dangerous Crossings.
In view of the constantly recur
rimj Railroad accidents it becomes
a matter of serious consideration
how best to avoid them. As ling as
wo permit the jaws of jeopardy to
stand wideopii to p illiti and crush
innocent victims, tli.'so occurrences
will not diminish in number. Two
miles I) ist of Mi niel.urgli at Re 1
Hill the driving ion I erossei the
rail roa 1 at two pi ices within Mil
yards. This cm very reililv be
avoided bv constructing a roa 1 back
over the hill. Tliis d nlhle crossing
makes an exceedingly dingerous
place and the citizens of that dis
trict sii ml I in wise p rniit this
constant peril.
At Krca.ii v v!i -iv b it four sli rt
months ai;o two lives were ushere I
into eternity in tin' twinkling of an
eye and many others injure 1 there
still remains tho same peril. Is it
possidle tint the citiz ms of Snyder
county will tolerate a condition so
perilous to limn m life .' They would
not, we are certain, p rniit a robber
to station himself in their midst,
ready at any in nnent to appropriate
their possessions to his ovu me.
ei by their silence tlicy sanction
and approve of a roblcr stationing
himself in their midst ready at any
unguarded moment, to rob them of
what to them is far more dear, the
companionship of friends or perhaps
their own existence.
Shall we calmly, q iietly aud un
otl'ensively fold our arms and shut
our eyes against tho truth ? If wo
do, thep inalt v mustbu paid, sooner
or later, in the sacritici of hum in
life or in the torture of human llesli.
The experiences of the past four
mouths have taught is a useful,
though expensive lesson and if we
are not willin,' to pnr.it by them h
similar fate will again crush us be
neath a load of sorrow.
To compel the Riilroad Company
to station n watchman at R id Hill
would not afford the best protection.
Tho surest esc ipo lies in the aban
donment of tho road and the chang
ing of its course so us to avoid both
crossings.
At Krcauicr there presents itself
an enigma that almost billies a safe
solution. At this point tho danger
can be diminished bv placing there
a vigilant walclimiu orb -Iter still
by changing tho crossing to a place
where the view of I lie railroidis
not obstructed. Wo call upon tho
supervisors of Franklin and Middle
creek Townships and up u a'l good
citizens to lend a helping hand to
abate tho peril of our public high
ways. Let us not permit our safety
to hang in joop.irdy a i l to invito
public calamity.

Carelessness in throwing articles
that are liable to puncture a wheel
into a stroet or a road is frequently
productive of disastorous results, ,
but in nearly every state tho wheel
man has no redress. Tho city of
Hartford, Conn., however, has como
to the relief of cyclers in that vicin
ity aud an ordinance has been pass
ed providing for a fine of 1 for the
offence of throwing or placing or
causing to bo thrown or placed in
or upon any street or highway any
nails, spikes, screws, glass or othor
similar substances. Similar ordi
nances should be passed iu every

For A County Fair.
Be it freely confessed, for ten or
twelve years Snyder county has had
no County fair. The interests of
our section depends chiefly upon
agricultural pursuits and it is an
unpardonable admission of m.gli.
genee and error to have this state of
affairs continue. It is the determi
nation of a number of our active,
leading citizens to change the status
of thing. A few however, can not
do it alone. This m owiuent iiires
the hearty and co-oper it ive support
of all our business men and every
farmer. It nows remains to bo seen
whether this support will bo forth
coming On next Tuesday after
noon nt one o'clock a in eting will bo
held iu one of the rooms at the
Court House for Hi" purpose of con
sideling the advisability of organ-
i.uii; ii niock associai ion 10 a ivance
the progress of this movement. Tho
proposed cntorpri is alau liblo
one and should be encouraged from
every portion of the county. Every
county iu the state, except three or
four, has an annual fair. Shall
Snyder county remain dilatory in
this matter .' Wo say most empha
tically, "no". Let us have a full turn
out at the meeting next Tuesday.

we have seen outside of the large

chasers were constantly surging to

used to display her goods. The
secret of her business success lies
hugely iu her liberal use of printers'

can profit by her example.
