There are more young people from Snyder county going away to school and the attendance at Susquehanna Uni versity i- much increased over former years. The removal utiestion has been permanently settled. 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 mil rapid development.

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. She's fmi li Bad.

These sheets were calculated not to offend anyone and they were a most decided success. These two pencil pushers were just two weeks ahead of the moon. 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 can hosts of the county will be at the capital to 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 von all should he in town. There will be band music to, soothe flic aesthetic anil oratory to guide the wayward. Of DOES Mr. Bryan think or just think hetiiiuks'.' The Democratic Conference. ""Mil" I Vmocrafs of this Senatorial District ire willing to swallow their words worms and all. They crowed lor months that 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.
