(Special Correspondence to the PltE.ss.) LAYTOH, May SB The prospect for good stand of oorn la not encouraging at this date, some is up nicely, and some lies In the ground as bright as the day It was planted. The out worms is very destruc tive this year, and 'the solemn crow does not forget to put in his fine work too. It la said that the darkest hour Is Just before the dawn, to let us hope that more propi tions times are near at hand. Frank Scott of Milford, and Anna M Tucker of Sandyston were united in mar riage on May by Rev. Van Gluhn of the UalnosvlUe charge.

Try it old friend The lower road across the mountain Is in a very bad condition said, to be nearly . unptuaable. When the road machine was used upon It this road was kept In a very satisfactory condition, but under the new regime it seems to be going like our other roads, to the dciunition bow-wows, siuce the neglect of our roads proceeds in the main from pure eussedness, the threats of Indicting would be deservedly carried out. The vaporiugs of the Orator, Butcher, and Freeholder, in the Gazette and other papers during the lost couple of months We are told were written over, revised ami tho spelling corrected by the two " Jims, from original suggestions by the O. B. F. himself. The old adage that many cooks spoil the broth Is fully exemplified in this case. The result of their efforts remind ono of tho boy sent on an errand by his father with the Injunction to not open his mouth and they would not know he was a fool. Tho trio have all opened their mouths a little too often, and well the public knows the rest. Of course the two "Jims are a little liko some lawyers that find themselves with a bad case on their hands they are making a lot of noise to conceal the fact and seem to be getting angry which Is a very bad sign. It Is said that they are getting ashamed of their ally and begin to think that Jersey lightning, and free rides on the merry-go-round is meagre pay fur such devoted servtoes. Since the O. B. F. has worked off his Ulle upon the Record in the absence of the editor he is feeling considerably better, his ultimate recovery Is regarded with much satisfac tion by his friends who are fondly antlcl patlng a call to come up and take some thing. His actions call to mind a cunning parrot who escaped from his cage, and per ched along the street, seeing a large dog passing In great haste, Polly cries out, seek him. The dog looking around spied Polly and then and there ensued a lively tussle, a sort of whirlwind of dogs, parrot, and profanity, for this parrot could swear In such an emergency. Polly regained his perch and noting his dilapidated appear ance soliloquized meekly to himself in this manner, Poor Polly, Poor- Polly, Polly tnlkee too damn much. History does not record but what this parrot was sober when he talked too much. The O. B. F. docs not have that falling for usualy his amletion works the other way. 1 he measles are catching on at Peter's Valley,and the question among the yonn people Is, "hove you had the measles. There will probably be enough to go around. Children's day at the chapel at Peter's Valley on June 14th. For the lust couple or years this event has drawn a crowd. The program has been very full, and ex tremely entertaining. The assessor is on his annual rounds and this is the propltous time to slip those old clothes on. The fanners will not need to mako much change as that Is a chronic condition with them. The tax rate will be high this year, and it will be higher yet next year. Tho people know how to rem edy these matters If they really wish to and since they do not, why oompluin so much f A lovely shower broke the drought this morning, and all nature looks brighter. The farmer feels encouraged, .and every business interest takes on a bettor tone. A few short months ago there seemed to be a burning desire to purify theohurch at Centrevllle. With such abundant mater ial to work on it appears little short of marvelous how soon the ardor of the leaders of the crusade abated. While they succeeded in ejecting some of its moat con sistent supporters, some members whose moral characters are the greatest stumbl ing block to successful church work, and proselyting, are retained. A reform let it be in church or politics,should be thorough if it is expected to command the respect and confidence of the people. Why should it not be thorough In this Instance t Has morality got to that low ebb In this com munity that even the church can afford to wink at it t We have heard that the Flat Brook Club has made a proposition that if the people of this valley will pass the hat and succeed in obtaining a reasonable sum toward building a telephone line from Branch ville to Be vans, that they will make up the deficiency. If true, there should be some Uvely work done at once. MONTAGUE. (Special Correspondence to the Press.) Montague, May 27. Mrs. Fanny Lundy Is confined to her bed Dr. M.

The duty of a County Superintendent is not purely minis terial but involves the exercise of a discretionary and quasi judicial pow er ; in granting certificates, the court imposes on him the duty to refuse !hem when the exercise of personal :nowledge or a due investigation convinces him that the applicant is legally disqualified for any reason. The finality of his decision does not depend upon his absolute correctness He should not reject the applicant without a hearing.but the terms and conditions of such hearing rest with him. In this case the Superintend ent refused to certify that the appli cant was not in the habit of using intoxicants as a beverage or that he was a person of good moral churac ter, and the court sustained his ac tion.
