Tlio Selinsgrove limes pays its compliments to the newspaper pub lishers ot the county scat last wek by saying that !i- Borne time there lias not been an aggressive newH)uper published at the county scat. Per haps that is true. For that matter all our papers in the county could lx improved, more especially the limet, For the Post we will say that we need not be ashamed oi our record when compared to others and we are willing to let our readers be the judges. On February 23, lS'l'i the Post agreed lithe peopleof Mld dleburg would raise $5000, 18000 or $10,000, tor the establishment ot an industry in this town, the Post would furnish the industry as large as the subscription would warrant. The Post did not even wait for the people of Middleburg to do their part ot the work and set to work immediately to prepare itscit to meet anv such an oiler and in lc.-s than ten days it offered to the citizens of this place an industry in the shape of the Main Shoe Company ofCata wissa. It also presented propositions trom two other parties. The citizens chose t lie former and on Saturday evening the contract was closed anil the erection of the building will be gin at once and we hope to see the plant in operation in five or six weeks. We challenge the limet to show us a similar record of aggres sive journalism. This is not all. The Tost also has the distinction ot having inang- gurated the idea of publishing the names of persons who have taken out licenses to get married. This same paper has also been the leader in get ting for publication the list of deeds entered for record, the letters testa mentary and letters of administra tion in the settlement ol the estates of the county. This was certainly a proper move in aggressive journal ism as it has already some followers in its foot steps. However, up to this time, the lime has been too far in the rear to keep pace with the Post's aggressive ideas of running an up-to-date newspaper. In all walks of lift there are per sons engaged in callings that are too narrow to see progressive movements by their more aggressive brethren or worse yet lie unwilling to acknow ledge them. The narrow-minded Jargon has no place in modem call ings unless it would be as Peter Ranch of Shade! can explain, the price for supporting a candidate for countv commissioner. We never charged nor asked any candidate the sum of $100. We presu me the above compliment was written or at least conceived when the limes Editor was sleeping off his drunken stuitor relerred to in the last issue of the Snyder Coil nty 7 ribu ie. We would also call the attention of the lime to the fact that the POST has collected all the marriages of Snyder County for the last thirty years that it could glean from old MMMnan and from the license docket and has published them in the Post, also the marriage records of Revs. Casper, Shindel andKrlen ineyer and when all have leeii com pleted will be published in book form. The Post is collecting all the inscriptions from the tombstones' in every cemetery in Snyder County 1 aud will publish them, both in the iw- i :.. i l i ti.... i I .mil III ISIWIV I'M II.. i nr.n- ui- onlv some of the things we propose to base our record on and for the present will le sufficient to prove our standing as a newspaper. We would like have the record of the fimen now. Preacher Takes His Life. m r i u .).,. ik. ir li Offa'l vv . nwt, lion. rfKnUMCED. With F.tpi.l i.L.ry Ctiapu-r. fiKin s VSJ Hon.
