It Is well to bo posted on the general news, but It Is Infinitely more important to receive the news of your own community."

Tho evidence showed that the public speaker on this occasion used very aggravating remarks, which the Judge would not approve of, and that 19 why tho sentence was so light. We want it distinctly understood that we do not approve of misbehavior at any public meeting, and believe that people who indulge in such conduct should be sovorely dealt with, nor do we believe it is tho proper thing for men to travol from place to place abus ing other people Bimply because they differ in views. Whon a cuuse has to be bolstered up by tearing down others, then it is a very flimsy thing. Tho bettor thing to do Is not to go to hear public speakers who are so narrow and contracted that they think that evory porson who does not beliove as they do are rogues. Stay away and let them rant. Considering the large and fine stock of holiday goods that the Reynoldsville merchants are displaying this year, it will not be necossary for any person to go out of town to buy holiday goods, You can got most anything hero at home that you desire to purchase, and can buy as choap, if not cheaper, in Reynoldsville than in any other town in this section. Buying at home not only saves you the trouble and expense of going elsewhere, but it keeps your mon oy at home, where it should be spent. If you have not visited the Reynolds ville stores yet and seen the pretty decorations and handsome goods, do so immediately, this very day. It will do your eyes good, ovon if you don't make a purchase, If you havo money, how over, you cannot visit the stores of this town without buying something, there Are so many pretty things. Our friends in the country will find Reynoldsville the best town wherein to buy Christmas goods. Come and see. Spaoe will not permit the mention of the different stores in town that have made special decorations and displuys for the holiday trade this your. Every person cannot go the Klondike and dig gold, but they can buy goods from, the Reynoldsville merchants, which means a big savings in the money already oarnod. Representative Smith, of Jefferson county, will most likely be returned to the Legislature next year, and it will be as much to tho credit of the Republicans of Jefferson county as to Mr. smith himself. He is an experienced and use ful member, and capable of rendering very important services. Jeffurson is entitled to two members and lias been hinoo the census of 18110, but the failure to reapportion the State has defrauded tho county of one-half its just represent ation. Mr. Smith Is worth more than two average members. Philadelphia 1 rem. The Prtsu certainly speaks in very complimentary terms of our worthy Representative, and yet we believe the Press sticks strictly to the truth in the above notice. It is likely Bro. .Smith will be returned it he wants to bo but whether he wants to bo or not, is the question. The Stak is an inde pendent sheet and for that reason we apeak right out when we find a man or scheme worthy of our support. Bro, Smith has mado a good Representative aud bis experience and standing in ttie Legislature of this Commonwealth : makes him a valuable Representative (or Jefferson county. It is an undenia' ble fact that a first term man finds him self so thoroughly handicapped that he cannot do what he would hope to do for his constituents. Because a man has been returned to the Legislature three or four tortus, and is in a position to be of some good to bis constituent Is no reason why ho should not be re turned for another term. - It Is likely Smith will be besieged by hit legions of friends to announoe mmw for re-notat jit?n when tse proper tlae comes.
