Burns, of this place, was the only postmaster from Jefferson county that attended tjjje Pennsylvania Association of Postmasters' convention in Harrlsburg last week. There were a number of large men at the conven tion but Mr. Burns was the largest postmaster present. Jefferson county never had such an array of master spirits as candidates for nomination for county officers as it had in the recent primary contest. It was a shame that so many good men had to go down to defeat. But what was the poor voter to do? There were too many pegs for the holes, and the only thing to do was to let some of them wait until the next time. Punxsutawney SpiYit. The Falls Creek Times, which was established by Charles J.

Tbe business men and citizens should bear In mind that the action of the Business Men's Association last Tues day was not a refusal to take the lead In a movement for a celebration this year, but simply a motion to defer action until the local business men in general express more interest in such an affair. Tbe Association meets next Tuesday, May 5th, in the I. O. O. F. building and would be glad to have all citizens, whether members or not, present.

It is very likely that a petition will bo presented to town council at tho next regular raeotlng asking for a curfew ordinance. There is talk of circulating such a petition. No one can gainsay the statement that there are entirely too many young boys and girls on our streets during the late hours of the evening. Died at Eleanor.

Of those who participated in the recent Republican primary campaign, none stands higher in the esteem of the people now than Will H. Bell, one of the Reynoldsvllle candidates for county treasurer. His manly ac ceptance of defeat, no less than bis plucky fight against odds in the campaign, won htm Bincere friends everywhere and places blm beyond all question in tho lead for the treasurershlp nomination three years hence. When he appeared before the county convention of the party after the long uncertainty over the vote, In which he finally lost by just 51 votes, he was cheered to the echo by the delegates and hundreds grasped his hand to pledge future support. Needless to say Mr. Bell appreciates the favor shown him in tbe county, and especially so in his home town of Reynoldsvllle. The Weapon That Slew Goliath. "Boys will be boys with their racket and noise" and no one cares to Interfere with their legitimate joys, but when the noise Is made by tbe crash of glass ae a stone from a sling shot goes whiz zing through the house, it is a trifle bard on the patience as well as the purse. Repeated complaint has been made to the borough authorities of the thoughtless and reckless use of these dangerous playthings by the boys of town, and a number of instances are given where window panes and plate glass display windows have been broken or damaged. Tbe nuisance bas In creased to such proportions thatCblef-of-Pollce Adelsperger has commenced to confiscate all such weapons and If the practice continues It will ba neces sary to enforce rigidly tbe borough ordinance and state law against tbe use of sling shots, air guns and similar weapons. As tbe offense is punishable by a heavy fine It will be cheaper far and wiser for parents to confiscate tbe objectionable instruments In advance. OBITUARY OP OLD RESIDENT. E.

At tho lust, session of the Pennsyl vania Legislature a law was enacted, which went into effect May 1, 1907, re quiring counties to pay the expense of keeping the old turnpikes of the state repaired and in good condition. The supervisors of Winslow, Plnecreek, Rose and Union townships, through which the old Susquehanna turnpike rutis, met in Brookvllle Monday to take somo action to get the county to pay the-expenee In keeping up the old pike as required by law. This would be quite a saving of road tax in Winslow township, as there Is about eight miles of turnpike in the township and the work expense on It amounts to consid erable each year. Supervisors over In Clarion county bad to bring suit against the com mis sloners of that county to get them to meet the requirements of the law, but the supervisors won out. A Little Pile of Snow. As a proof of the assertion that we have had some deep snows the past winter, we need only get on top of ono of our hills and look in the di rection of Sykesvllle. Along the boun- dry of Philip Haag's farm is a drift of snow covering a half acre of ground. At this writing it Is five feet deep and It is safe to Bay that there will be snow tbero in large quantities during the first week in May. Tbe snow at this point was twenty feet deep, entirely, covering fencus and the small trees. The larger part of the snow was deputed there at two different times and when it began to melt it split open several feet about tbe center of the drift, which bas caused it to melt both from tbe center and edges. Had it not gappd open in this manner, there would no doubt be snow at this point in the month of June. Sykesvllle Post-Dispatch April 24. Frank and Sincere Speaker. Tho Jefforsot.

While it is not natural that those who have been defeated at a primary election should feel buoyant with de light, and it is to be expected that some sore spots will be left among their friends after the battle is over, we should all remember that our institu tions are based on majority rule. It Is up to those wbo are on the -minority side to acquiesce in the decision and go along with tbe procession. The. place to settle party differences is at the pri mary election, and although humanity is so constituted that many things are necessarily done that the higher moral sense cannot approve, such are condi tions, and we must take things as we find them. Tho theory of the popular vote system of nominating cam idates fpr office Is that ever citizen shall have a voice, and after the election is over they shall all be for those whom the majority favored. Otherwise, what would be the' use in having primary elections? There is a tacit understand ing among all who take part that they will abide by the result, and that is the only honorable thing to do. Punxsu tawney Spirit. Fish Wardens on the Alert. A fisherman in another part of the state was fined heavily for having trout in bis possession that lacked only one eighth of an inch in being bIx inches in length. The Ridgway Record says: "The Bportsman who goes forth with line and rod to angle for trout cannot be too careful about keeping strictly within the provisions of the law. Fish wardens are on the alert and the Infraction, in the minutest particular, of the statute regulating the angler's conduct, may result In his being dragged before a justice of t,he peace aud heavily fined," Baby Drank Carbolic Acid; Fourteen month old daughter of Mi, and Mrs. George McCanna. who reside near the tunnel at Brookvi le, drank carbolic acid Sunday afternoon and died in a few min i1e- after drinking it. The bottle was on a window sill acd George, Jr., aged four years, got un a chair, got the bottle of acid, poured some on a rag and rubbed It on his faca.
