There is a strong feeling among the
leading citizens of this county that a
two-term precedent should bo establish
ed In the case of the Prothonotary and
Register and Recorder, They are both
offices in which the experience of the
Incumbent Is valuable to the people, and
when competent and genial men are
selected to fill these offices one term,
and no Just complaint can be entered
against them, it would seem to be the
part of wisdom as well as of Justice to
concede thorn a second term. Punxsu
tawney Spirit.
Here are some very good instructions
for killing a newspaper. Just let your
subscription go. It's only a dollar or
two the publisher don't need it. If he
asks you for it get just as mad as you
can and toll him to stop the paper you
never read it anyhow. Then go and
borrow your neighbor's. When the
advertising and job man comes tell him
you don't noed to advertise everybody
knows you; that you will try and get
along without any printed stationary
it's too expensive; that business is slack
and you must economize. Never drop
in to see the editor unless you want a
free complimentary notice or a lengthy
obituary for a beloved relative. Never
recommend the paper to anydody.
When you speak of it always say, "Yes,
we have a little shoet, but it don't
amount to much." Keep this up a year
or two and you will have a dead news
paper, a dead set of merchants and a
dead town. Ex.
Hon. J. E. Wonk, who in addition to
his duties as editor of the Fmvxt Repub
lican represents Forest county in the
State ' Legislature, has the following
complimentary mention of Senator
James G. Mitchell In the last issue of
his paper: "The Republican County
Committee of Jefferson county, at its
meeting last week, unanimously indors
ed Hon. James G. Mitchell for re
election to the State Senate, and asked
the Republicans throughout the district
to join In his retention as their represen-
i . I A t . ( .1 11 A.
lauve. a wiser ming vaoy uuuiu nut
do, it they are desirous of having a
strictly firstclass man to represent them
in the Senate of the State. In all of
the fifty that went to make up that
body last winter none were more watch
ful of the welfare of their constituents,
or could accomplish as much with as
little fuss, than Senator Mitchell. His
popularity in both the Senate and House
made him a power for good to his
people., who will err grievously if they
fall to return him'"
There are many young men -to-day,
and Reyaoldsvlllo- has her share of
thorn, who soem to be impressed with
the thought that they will "sow wild
oats" in their young days and bye and
bye will get married and settle down In
life; This is a sad mistake. Edward
W. Bok, in writing on this subject,
says: So far as a young man "sowing
his wild oats" is concerned, to consider
the last query 'first, it has always
seemed a pity to me that the man who
framed that sentence didn't die before
he constructed it. From the way some
people talk one would Imagine that
every man had Instilled into him at bis
birth a oertaln amount of deviltry
which he must get rid of before
he can become a man of honor.
Now, , what is called "sowing
wild oats" is nothing more nor
less than , self-degradation to any
young man. It doesn't make a man one
particle more of a man because he has
passed through a siege of riotous living
and Indiscretion when he was nineteen
or twenty; it makes him just so much
less of a man. It dwarfs his views of
.life far more than it broadens them
And be realizes this afterward. 'And
he doesn't know one lota more of "life,"

It has glitter for htm in youth, becomes
a repellent remembranoe to him when
