A Very Pleasant Trip,
The Citizens’ cornet band returned from
their trip to Salisbury and Meyersdale,
Pa., on last Saturday afternoon, and a
better pleased set of men it wonld he hard
to tind. Besides enjoving the drive over
the picturesque mountains, the boys: are
more than pleased with the manner in
which they were entertained by their
friends of the ‘Keystone state, and are
lond in their praise of hospitality of the
people there. They were entertained by
the K. of L. Assembly and the Salishary
band and werequartered at the hospitable
hotel of C. T. Hay. This hotel is first-
class in every respect and the members
of the band feel very grateful to the pro-
prietors for many favors extended during
their stay there. On Friday the band
was driven to Meyersdale, where they
were well received and treated with the
same courtesy as at'Balisbury. The Sal-
isbury band accompgnied them. Tt must
be said for the Citizens’ band that thev
were much admired for their musical
abilities, fine appearance and gentlemanly
conduct. To the K. of L. Assembly and
the Salisbury band thev extend their heart-
felt thanks for the pleasant time shown
them during their visit to Salisbury, and
will at some future time return the com-
pliment.—Lonaconing Review.
Of Interest to Constables.
We do not know that all the constables
within the county are aware of the fact,
that it is their duty, under the law. to see
that all Canada thistles, in the district
over which their authority extends, are
cut in time to prevent them going to seed.
We do know, however, that there are
plenty of places within the county in
which this great pest is allowed to grow
without any attempt to check its spread-
ing, and that-constables must be neglect-
ing their duties in this matter, in many
instances, or rome attempt at least,
would be made to prevent them from pol-
lating the whole section. If these offic-
ials will look up the law, they will discov-
er that, in every district in which these
thistles grow, they, as well as the owner
of the land, are liable to severe penalties
for failing to comply with ‘the require-
ment of the act, which makes it their
duty to notify land owners by printed
posters, put up in prominent places, that
these thistles must be cut, and if not, they
would proceed at once with the law to
see that they are.—Bomerset Democrat.

To listen to the opinions mivanced by
some people there is nothing more at
stake in this campain than the offices.
That is, however, not the way the party
platforms strike the average reader. Par-

declarations of their party’s intentions,
and being such it is difficult to see how

‘'HERE have been. pliced upon the
market several cheap reprints of an ob-

These hooks are given various names,
“Webster's Unabridged,” “The Great
Webster's Dictionary,” ‘Webster's. Big
Dictionary,” ‘Webster's Eneyclopedic
Dictionary,” etc., ete.
Many announcements concerning them
are misleading. The Webster reprint
portion of each from A to Z is the same,
—forty-four years hebind the times. and
printed from plates made from photo:
graphing the old pages:
The old book has been padded out by
various additions eulled from various
sonrces, but the body is the same that
was published when Polk was president
and duly buried at the incoming of Lin-
coin. The Webster, current from Lin-
coln to Harrison, is the popblar copy-
righted “Unabridged” which has just
been superseded by Webster's Imterna-
tional Dictionary. See advertisement in
another column.
Tag following is a fair sample of South
ern Democratic campaign literature.
We take it from the Globe, a paper pub-
lished at Durham, N. C., by Al Fairbroth-
er, a man who went south from Nebraska,
and one the editor of this paper is person-
ally acquainted with. Read it, old sol-
diers and Northern people, and see
whether you can find anything init that
entitles the Democratic party to North-
ern votes:
“Some of the Northern papers are howling
about the positive fact that Grover Cleveland
hired a cheap man to represent him when the
North pillaged and plundered and burned and
ravished the South. There could not be a better
recommendation. ' The scamps at the North who
were in the war, went in for $14 a mouth, with
an explicit understanding that they should and
could steal all that was in sight. Grover C'eve-
land knew that the country wonld need his ser-
vices in 1884 and again in 1802, and he did not
propose to have his body filled with lead in order
to give a Yankee the chance to pick his pocket
after he had been killed. He simply did a good
business job, as he did when he slapped the
dirty beggars, called pensioners, in the face.
Why should he—a statesman and a man of his
intellect—take the chance of war when he could
hire a cheap fellow to represent him? There is
no reason. The Globe regards that one of the
best things Cleveland ever did. If Cleveland
had fought he would have have been lowered in
the estimation of the South. He did not propose
to use his skill in killing the boys of the South-
land. The solid South owes a debt of gratitude
to Grover Cleveland.”
bull the New York Advertiser (Ind.) adds
the following:
Just so. ‘The solid South owes a debt of grati-
tude to Grover Cleveland for “declining to kill
the boys of the Southland;’’ but how about the
North? Those ‘dirty beggars, called pension:
ers,” and their friends do not agree with this
“one of the best things Cleveland ever did.” The
brilliant Mr. Fairbrother should profit by the ex-
ample set him by his friend Cleveland during
the war and “go slow.”
