PATTON PU BLISHING co., Proprietors. THU RSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1804. AFTERTHOUGHT. : Two weel ago last Tuesday even- ing a convention was lhield in the Fat- ton. opera house for the purpose of nominating candidates for a borough ticket, and afterwards: several parties interested in that convention took ex- ceptions to the report published by this paper two weeks ago to-day. As two weeks have passed since every. person can take a dispassionate review of the circumstances. It was no time for this paper to discuss it when the parties who were disposed to complain were wrought up over a contest pre- paratory to the general election. The COURIER was a third party— only giving news as a matter of busi- ness in a form, without perversion of the truth, consistent with self respect and common practice of newspapers. We hope Patton patrons - will read this and note mentally the circumstances: - Om Tuesday evening, J January 9, a con- vention of citizens vas held in the opera bouse and one nomination made, a candidate for burgess. The “election of other candidates was posiponed until the following afternoon, the time this : paper goes to press. A com- pany of citizens assembled the following afterncon and, ‘as we ‘understood, = completed the ticket. Just before going to press a represen- tative of this paper was sent out to get. ‘the names of candidates for all the of floes for publication. He was informed that a ticket had been nominated, but would not be given to the paper. Then the nomination of the candidate for bur- gess was omitted from that issue, and after the edition appeared a number of parties were very much dissatisfled. It was the frame of mind which they were in at that particular time, we * think, more than any feasible grounds, which caused them to feel that way; pect a newspaper to give one name or half of the names on a ticket when the remsinder were withheld, as long . a8 there waa hope of getting the com- plete. ticket? which thia paper did in *" the succeeding issue. - The whole ticket was wanted; this paper was daxious to : publislyit us soon as it could be pro- cured. There was nothing irregular in the omission of Jannary 11. The re- “spects the action of Hose who recon- sidered their resoive and upon request furnished the full ticket in time for publication last week. © INDEPENDENT, NOT NE TRAL. : The publication of the iritial number gin nor a neutral paper, but politi- cally ‘independent.

THE “COURIER LEGS. We take this opportunity of advising | the patrons of this paper that its sup- port is becoming quite substantial. A newspaper stands upon its circulation, and Mr. Boyer, the COURIKR’S silver- “tongued Dutchman, has been doing business among the farmers like a lightning rod peddler. A circulation is # paper’s support because advertisers get what they are asked to pay for and become good patrons. The advertisers in this paper may be assured that each ~~ week is adding very materially to the number of regular readers, and hence the business man who advertises is not of Patton as well. The trader who ‘comes to town for a suit of clothes, ‘having noticed a clothing advertise- ment, will buy his dinner, some cigars, perhaps some jewelry and hardware. Very few come to buy articles in one line of merchandise only. : The people are coming this way to do ‘their shopping because the business houses of Patton advertise. er THE LONGEST reach of railway with- out a curve is claimed to be that of the : new .Argentine Pacific Raliway from ' Buenos Ayres to the foot of the Andes. en en 1 witout a curves and. has no cutting or embankment deeper than two or three feet. “1 The Kiakhond etaurant i th best | i are regretting that they were born-a . generation too soon or have not Ma- gant claims realized. ‘intendent Palmer, of the Beech Creek in ho ‘every day in the week; that it is tae ‘lI have been led to believe that the NO INFLATION HERE. Patton has never yet had a boom, a | that term is applied to towns, and it is’ {not the purpose of the COURIER, or’ any interested individual, so far as we know, to create such . a condition. Pennsylvania has ‘numerous monuo- ments to such folly; many towns could be named which became the languid victims of a fungus growth and their citizens, after becoming hoarse with shouting ‘their unwarranted praises, thuselah’s lease of life that they may see their cherished hopes and extrava- But the future of Patton is nct listed in category. There is no better evidence of cor- rectness of this claim than the policy of the men who, in their combined interests, at this time virtually hold the town’s destiny in their hands. The latest public indication of this disposi- tion was shown when a reporter of the Johnstown Herald interviewed Super- road, A. E. Patton and Geo. 8. Good, members of the Chest Creek Land and Improvement company, which oe- curred at Johnstown last week. Johns- town has been making a great effort to have the Beogh Crack build through to that city and Mr. Palmer was. choice prey for the insatiable reporter. He said: 4% far as | know wil am cer- tainly in position to be filly acquainted with the facts,” replied Mr. Palmer, ‘the Beech Creek has as yet done nothing in that direction. While 1 have made no study. of the conditions, Pennsylvania so nearly encircles the town that it would be next to impossi- ble for a new railroad to secure an entrance to the city. While itis not improbable that the Beech Creek may | in the near future decide upon an ex- tension of ite Cambria county line, I am certain that the matter has not yet been seriously considered by our com- : pany. for what man could, in a perfectly . normal state of mind, reasonably ex- Following this The Herald says: “The conversation then drifted into the recent coal developements in northern Cambria, during which Mr. Palmer said that when the railroad was built to Patton he was under in- structions to make necessary arrange- ments for shipping 1,000,660 tons of coal per year from that place. The hard times, however, reduced {his amount, though the shipments during the latter part of 1383 wére at the rate ‘of over 500,000 per year." Then Messrs. Patton and Good came in for their share of attention and this ia what was afterwirds given “The gentlemen stated that at this ‘very time negotiations are pending with a company of capitalists who ex- peel to locate in Patton an industry that will involve the expendi- ture of $100,006. They would not give any information ag to the nature of the project, ‘because,’ said they, ‘we are not yet certain that the works will be located in our town; and the publi- cation of the same might be construed as an effort on our part to create a boom, which wé do not want.’ ”’ essere ALL A MISTAKE. In last week's issue of the Ebens- burg Mountaineer the following arti- cle appeared: ; “The Patton coal mines in Cambria county which have been idle for several months will resume this week. Several hundred men will be put to work. | false and that with the exception of the {Patton Coal gompany and the Mec Cormick mine, which have been idle but two weeks, instead of as many ‘months as the Mountaineer would have the public believe, all the mines ‘at this place have been running fair. Persons who are so ready to accept and circulate such untruths are victims of morbid discomposure. Notice of Election.

Dollars Go Far. “Take care of the pence and tie pounds will take care of themselves’ is a maxim that is peculiarly applicable to these hard times. Wastefulness at ill times is foolish; it is worse than that now when thousands are suffering fircm the lack of the necessaries of life. The Pittsburg Times is an object lesson in proper economy. It presents oae of the chief necessities of life—all the ‘news—at the lowest possible cost. Notwithstanding the fact that the Pitas- ‘burg Times is sold for only one cent a day, the claim is made for it that it is the most complete newspaper printed in Pittsburg, that every occurence of human interest in every part of the globe is promptly reported in its col- umns; that it is essentially a paper for the home, everything of an objection- able character being excluded; that it is the only paper in Pittsburg whose market reports are reliable and re visi only Pittsburg newspaper which prints daily a carefully prepared department for the ladies, and once a week & repait, prepared by experts, of special interest to agricultural readers. and, finally, it” is the only Pittsburg newspaper whith prints daily the highest class of fiction. In addition to all this, The Times offers to all its readers at a nomiral cost the opportunity of securing one of the highest class magazines printed ir: the country, and to the ladies their choice during the year 1394, of twelve of the most approved paper patierns, with privilege of selecting from a list of 20,000. Send for a sample copy of The Times which will be mailed you free, and see how these promises are fulfilled. If there is no agent for The Times in your locality, a profitable business can be established by writiag for the agency. The Unemployed. The army of unemployed pecple is growing greater every day all over the country, and Curwensville is no excep- tion to general stagnation in business. An illastration of the namber of ille people about town was given Tuesduy. H. T. Smith and son started to put down a crossing on State street at ty dem Way's grocery. The work was hardly under way until 2 man sauntered leis- arely up and asked “What’ cher your going’ to do?’ Then another and another kept coming until the work men were surrounded by no less iran sixty-four men, who had a suggestior to make as to how the walk should be laid.
