Look Out tor Him, We are told that an agent is work ing the picture totem: again in the county. He wii- ; ' onr.- town last Thursday nit d stopped with Gabriel Beaver. He did not register, but paid his supper, lodging and breakfast in advance. He travelled toward Paxtonville Friday. Before ne takes an order to enlarge a pio ture he requires 60 cents cash-in-ad vance. He promises to do bin wnrlr for loss than half what other firms require. We have beon told of 3 different families that cave himor- dors for 10 pictures. Fifty cents in advance was required on each pic ture. It would not bo richt to call this fellow a fraud because he has promised to deliver the crayon port raits May 1st. Until Mar first he may bo elsewhere, but we don't know where. Mrs. Howard Sham bach near Paxtonville refused to give the fellow an order and advisod the fellow to leave. The picture man gave receipts for all money paid him. He Higned his name as "Looner". One receipt was dated Lock Ha ven, another Williamsport, while ho told Gabriel Beavor that he was from Ridgway. We do not know what this fellow intends to do but other chaps who require CO cents a picture in advance have never turned up and it is al ways safe never to pay in advance to a stranger. We have advised our readers against this 50 cents-iD-ad-vance picture business and if they will not take warning it is not our fault. Don't order any pictures or anything else unless you know the people or refuse to pay anythiug un til delivered in a satisfactory man ner. Reliablo firms are willing to do this. Moved to Sunbury. C. C. Seebold, ex Treasurer of Snyder county, this, week moved to Sunbury. Snyder county and espec ially Middleburg loses a most enter prising citizen. He has faithfully served Snyder county as Treasurer for 3 years. For the past year he has conducted the Washington House and carried on the Sewing Maohine and Piano business at this place, Sunbury and Shamokin. His business has grown so that he has deoided to move to Sunbury to bet ter look after his business. He has always shown himself to be one of the moat enterprising citizens al ways lending a helping hand to ev ery publie Movement. We part with Mr. Seebold with regret, but what is our loss is Sunbury's gain. Friends of "The Post". Roll of Honor.
