jffijVpERTI NNT PERSOLS
For the Third Term.
Grier Shell of Centreville, an old
hand at the business, was arrested and
brought to jail for assault and battery
with intent to commit rape. Miss
Caroline Smith was the object of his
vicious attack.
Shell has been twice in the peniten
tiary. First for the same offence he is
now charged with, second for stealing
meat. This is the third time he will
appear before Judge McClure and it
is probable the judge will favor a third
term and a long one at that.

Snydor County Tribune.
The Middleburg Comet band- which
came to this place on Saturday even
ing to play for the Dauntless - Hook S
Ladder Company's Festival, Saturday
evening last, gave our citizens a rare
musical treat and one which they very
greatly enjoyed. Snyder county,
within the recollection of the writer,
has had h large number of baud organ
izations, and not a few of tliein were
distinguished for the excellency of the
music rendered by tliein. Of the num
ber, two of the bunds acquired a state
wide reputation; we refer to Feehrer's
Silver Cornet Band of Selin's Drove,
organized in tho latter part of the flD'n
and which was iu its highest statu of
musical perfection during the liOV
This band enjoyed the distinction of
beluga military organization and of
serving iu the war of the Rebellion.
The members of the band enlisted as
musicians in the various companies of
the 208th Regiment Pennsylvania
Vols, and by this means were enabled
to retain their unity of organization.
They were principally retained at the
head-quarters of McCaliuont's Brigade.
After the war when General McCal
mont wn" a candidate for the nomina
tion for J'lvernor, lie hired the band
to play a i his head-quarters at Read
ing. Thi at the time was considered
the highest compliment ever paid the
band. Thu other organization of al
most equal celebrity, was Stettler's
Silver Cornet Band of Middleburg, or
ganized early in the 70's, and at high
tide of its proficiency two da-ades ago.
Of the first organization, Prof. Jos. H.
Feehrer, its leader, and one of the best
band-masters of his day in the State,
Peter S. Albert, Harris A. Rohrhbach
and John J. Houseworth are about all
who remain here, at least of the band
as it was organized in the army, the
others having either died or removal.
Of the other organization, John I.
Stettler, its leader, and a number of
the other old members remain, with
these as a nucleus, with other skilled
and practiced musicians the Middle
burg Cornet band has been re-orgau-lzed
and from the rapid strides it Is
making in - proficiency It will soon
rank -with the leading bands in the
state. Persevere gentlemen, let your
motto be "Excelsior." i

Systematic Effort vs Good Luck.
Pram Mnbin's MaKuiiia.
Men have been carried to financial
success by fortunate circumstances ov
er which they had no control, and as
long as the human race exists exam
ples will be found of pure luck acting
to shape seme men's careers. The rule
however, is that each must work out
his own destiny, ai.d the men who are
entitled to the highest credit for great
things accomplished are those who
have OMated condition by the Core of
their own brains and hands.
The best ultimate results are reached
by those who have formed a definite
purjHise and who have refused to be In
fluenced by forces tending to turn
them into any other road than that in
which they had decided to travel. In
all professions and iu all business this
principle has illustrations, and it may
bo said to be one of the basic laws of
successful effort It is no bettor ex
emplified than in advertising.
The advertiser who Is spasmodic and
unsystematic iu his methods is the
man who is taking the long chances
that good fortune may seek him out.
The one who lays a dellnitc plan, who
carries on a campuign of publicity
fouded on logical principles, and who
persists in the course lie lias determin
ed to be right, is the man who creates
a prestige for his goods and ultimately
wins the reward f his perseverance.

Letter to L. E. Wetzel.
JIllilil.KIH HU, I'llllll'il.
Dear Sir: Paint is one ol the things
that Railroad Companies know all
about. Do you know what "all about"
means? It means, in paint, where to
get it.
We sell the paint for two-thirds of
the cars and stations and bridges and
everything else, that railroad men
want to keep good-looking and sound,
all over the country.
A man who wants a gallon or two of
paint knows nothing about it; buys
whatever is handy, or gets some paint
er to "make" It.
A Railroad Company asks its chem
ist: "which is the best'.'"
The cheapest thing, to preserve or
beautify anything with, is paint. So
tho whole world is painted; except, of
course, the part of it owned by jxior
slow folks.
And the paint they use Is people's
intelligence-meter: or ignorance-meter:
tells how much or how little they
know.
Lead and oil has had its day. De-
voe lead and zinc Is the paint, because
it wears twice as long.
Yours truly,
