The Telephone Situation.
SNYDER COUNTY is blessed(?) with two
telephone companies, operating two sepa
rate and distinct lines. Now telephone privile
ges are certainly a convenience and a necessity to
modern business methods, but to have two com
panies operating in the same territory, each hav
ing a different set of subscribers, without courte
ous privilege of using the competing line, repre
sents a state of affairs inimical to modern progress

'phones from two iliffcrent companies, necessita
ting an outlay of two rents. Most businessmen
will rent from one company only, others from
neither, because, no matter which one is taken,
about one-half the county cannot be reached, for
a subscriber of one line cannot communicate with
n Biiharrilwr nf the other line w ithout a toll.
This is a state of affairs that should not exist.
Connection, by mutual courtesy, is made wit)
lines outside the county, and the same rule should
apply to the Penn Telephone Company and the
Spring Telephone ( Company. We understand that
the representatives of the Penn, Spring and Tus
carora Valley Telephone companies had a meet
ing last week to consider plans hy which subscri
ber of one hue can use the other line without ad
ditional charge. This should be done by all
means. It will inure to the benefit of the own
ers of Ixith lines, as well as to the subscribers of
both. The owners of both lines will get more
subscribers, because many more will be willing
to pay 'phone rent if all the territory covered by
lxith lines can be reached, and thus secure addi
tional service w ithout increasing the expenses of
either company.
Wc sincerely trust that arrangements will he
speedily perfected whereby subscribers of either
line can use th" entire line in Central Pennsyl
vania, yea, eventually of the entire State, and
finally reach all parts of the United States.
$1.25 for Nothing
From the days of Saint John's revelation
The marvellous story is told,
And the song has come down thro the aires
The song of the City of Gold.
To the innocent hearts of the children,
To the toilers who faint 'neath the sun
To the old who have fought out its problems,
To the dying whose journey is done,
Comes the dream of the Mystical city
With color and lovlincs rife,
Iridescent Its jeweled foundations,
Flower-bordered its River of Life ;
And the streets of the City are Golden,
And the sea as of crystal appears
And the sound of the harpers is in it,
And it knows not of sorrow or tears.
Like a mirage far out iii tin desert,
Like the fabric that fashions our dreams
Like a many-hued mirror'd reflection,
The Pure Golden City beseems.
Some grope 'mid the types and the shadows,
A d Hi t at it- veiling disguise;
Their heart?- cannot gr iSp Cor conceive it
Its glory la hid from their eyes.
They catch hut a note of its music,
A glimpse swiftly passing and faint
A hint of its wondrous pe 'feet ion,
Low-whispered to seer and to saint
Yet the glow of it shortens the journey,
And more bravely our feet tread the sod
On the mad to the SorrOwless City
Whose Builder and .Maker i.s God.
And thus, as a gift to the ages,
The marvellous story Hows on,
And the heart of man rests on the vision
Thai Illumined the eyes of Saint John.

Gkntlemks : I must say in -regard
to GHAIN O that there is no
thing better or healthier. We hare
used it for years. My brother was a
great coffee drinker. He was taken
sick and the doctor said coffee was
the cause of it, and told us to use
GRAIN-0. We got a package, but
did not like it at first, but now would
not be without it. My brother bs
been well ever since we started to
use it. Yours truly, Lillie Sochck.

Tin: Lenhart murder trial occupied the at
tention of live days ol" the Union county court
last week. ( )n the 'J 1st day of last April James
Lenhart murdered Newton Moatz in Lewisburg.
A bard fight was made to convict the prisoner of
murder in the first degree, but the jury returned
a verdict of murder iu the second degree. While
it is not very consoling to face a long term of
imprisonment m the penitentiary, it is always
preferred to banging.
There will be a gala time in Middleburg
Tuesday evening of next week. The Republi

hear the issues of the campaign discussed and to
open the tight for the presidential election in
Snyder county. The speakers, Senator Landis,
Congressman Mahon, Senator Focht and Repre
sentative Smith, are too will known to need any
introduction. There will be a big time, and

The Democratic Conference.

Wolverton was the only man able to defeat Focht.
if he develops Because vi the strike Wolverton did not dare to
accept. John V. Lesher is a good man, but he
had to be turned down because Judge Bucher
thought Lesher's National Guard record would
injure him in the coal regions. They, therefore,
nominated Hon. F. K. Drown, of Lewisburg.
The conference was not the most harmonious
one on record. The Bueher crowd proposed to
out Lesher out on the first ballot, by getting the
Union county conferees and two of Nortumber
land county's conferees to vote for Shaffer of Sun
bury. The plan failed to work. Lesher's friends
stood by him, and they were strong enough that
the political joblicrs could not make a nomination
without Lesher's consent. Although Lesher was
was not named, he was a factor in the conference
that named the nominee, just the same.
SENATOR Dei-kw was asksd the other day re
garding the education of the rich. He replied
that all young me:: should be so taught as to be
able to earn their own living. "There never was
a Vanderbilt," he said, "who could not, if left
without a cent, earn his own living. And they
have all liecu the better for it.
Tin: Democratic candidate for Congress from
Snyder county not only failed to attend the con
ference, but also failed to send any conferees.
The 77ks man says)hat he did not have time
to attend the Congressional conference, but,
strange as it may seem, he was able to spend two
days at tire Senatorial conference where he was
neither a candidate nor a conferee. They say
that Editor Lesher discovered bofore going that
it would be a cold ikiy in Harrisburg.
