The Flntt Peuusylvaiila BtaUf Nor
mal School at Millers villa offers free
tuition to pupils over seventeen who
are preparing to teach In the public
schools of the State. It isa wellknown
fact that any intelligent man making
a list of the moat i rominent Normal

clude Mlllersvllle among the first half

ideal. Parents may send tbair chil

that they are as safe as Ihey can be
anywhere.
Studeuts who come to Mlllersvllle re
ceive full credit for what they already
know, and graduate as aoon as they

Daniel Bolender, Ex-Sheriff of Sny
der County, died Monday morning at
10:30, Aug. 24, 1903. He had been in
feeble health since last Summer when
he had such a severe sick spell, but he
moved about our streets regularly un
til last Thursday evening when he had
a stroke of apoplexy. He recovered
sufficiently to speak at times with his
friends, but it was evident that life was
only a matter of a few hours. His fa
miliar figure, that for 70 yea is, moved
over every part of Snyder County will
no longer be een here. He probably
knew more men and was known by
more men than any other man in the
County.
The Ex-Sheriff was bora Ang. 16,
