Depue were instructed to select a site, and determine style, and oost of a sufficiently good, mod ern, up-to-date school house. The old building has proved entirely Inadequate In seating capacity, and as there is not ground room for an addition on.the present site, to build new and on another location la necessity. There Is now a splendid oppor tunity here to build high enough to have a publlo hall above the school room. The additional cost oould, I am sure, be met by private subscriptions. It would show progressive spirit, and result In many ways to the advantage of the community. The nine year old son of Elinor Roe fell from a tree lost Thursday, breaking both arms near the wrists. The little fellow stood the setting like a soldier. Last week a family living near Tuttle's Corner, by the name of Campbells, killed a rattler near by the house, and also a pi lot In the house. Andrew Caton, a neigh bor living near the some place, killed rattler having eight rattles. They soom to begetting a little thinning out In that vicinity. S. F. Rymon a former resident of this place has successfully taken the gold oure, and Is now canvassing for the Institution, It Is ourrently reported that he has lnduoed our freeholder to take the oure In the near future. If so, "Dick" baa accomplished a great good, and the Township should vote him a medal In grateful remembrance of his effort to purify Its representative, and make him worthy of the respect of his con stituents. Good bye the old life; all hall the new. Geo. E. Hursh recently sold to John Smith about 88 aores of cleared land, on which Mr. Smith will build a bouse during the fall, and winter.

The entrance hav ing passed from the oontrol of the olifb, they therefore disband, and Brookslde Park" Is permanently closed. The Picnic at Lake Grinnell last Week was not as largely attended as formerly. The day was fine, and nothing else going on to interfere, so that It Is dllllcult to find any other reason for the slim attendance than that generally given, "of hard times.1 Last year during the F. M. T. plonlo at Culver's Lake the supply of soft drinks run out and thirsty people besieged the only well on the grounds only to find it dry, or at least If there was water In It they oould not got it. It Is since told that it was "choked,', whatever that may mean in the in to rests of the soft drink stands. People who suffered from thirst then, will probably take plenty of lemonade, or other cooling drinks with them this time.

Mast Hope, Pa., Aug. 17, 1BU6. Editor or trr Press: While the sub ject of good wagon roods is being agitated In your paper I would like to make a few observations for publication. The foot that many of our public highways are going Into ruin Is beyond dlsputo and this in regions of this State where they are very much needed as In Pike county, but the means and ways of arresting this decay seems yet an unsettled question. Slnoe the old turnpike roods hove been given up to the public and their corporations been dissolved and well kept hlghwoys of this kind hove been the exception and not tho rule. Tho causes of this ore plain and the ohlcf one is tho lack of competent manage ment and very likely under the present re gime sufllcient funds. The coll In your article on roads In the Issue of July 81 last for the protection of wagon roads against abuse has the right ring and should be the first step for the betterment of these great public conveniences. What Is the use as Is remarked In the article of expending either publlo of private time or money if the re pairs ore to bo undone Immediately there after. The plan of protection suggested may not be the best that can be devised but the idea Is rlglrt notwithstanding it may inconvenience some people sometimes, but In tho main would be for the general good of the community. That there should bo a law to prevent the drawing of heavy wngons or trucks, loaded or light, with ohulncd wheels over the publlo roads is too plain for argument, anyone who has seen them used In this manner has witnessed both the hard and soft roods in a short time made nearly Impassable. This abuse should be followed by a heavy penalty. The appointment of roodmostors, instead of having them elected by ballot, by some competent authority I feel oonvinoed would be another Btcp as we might expect them to be bettor fitted to perform the duties of the office, to hold It longer and become acquainted with a system of re pairing which makes their work more durable. In concluding, let me earnestly nrge that all the pnbllo roads be protected from abuse and' that the roadmasters In the distrlot be given power to do this. i Good Roads, Rlpans Tabules: for sour stomach.

Mr. Bryan insists that "the mark et makes the price," But France was compelled to abandon (res coin, age under the stress of a persistent decline all over the world in the price of silTor. Our neighboring Republio, of lex ico coins dollars containing more silver tuan ao oars that can be bought for S3 cents From 1878 to 1MB0 under the Bland Allison act, and from 1890 to 18U3 under the Sherman act, the United States bought and coined or stored silver bullion aggregating in coin age value nearly $800,000,000 This was substantially the entire product ef our mines not needed for export or for the arts. The dollars coined were legal tender, just as good as oould be issued under free, coin age And yet the price of fine silver fell from fl.20 in IB to BJ cents 1894. Never once during all the years of its existence did the ratio cf 16 to 1 produce parity of value never onoe did it give us concurrent circulation of gold and silver. How much weight can be given to Mr. Bryan's "conviction" against these facts I Cura lowest on Record. Last week witnessed the lowest sales of corn ever recorded in this oountry, with contracts entered to duliver No. 2 mixed in Chicago next month at 24 cents. The prospect of an enormous crop has Inclined growers to sell the vast quantitiei which were cribbed lust fall In hopes of better prioos, which have not been realized. With free silver at the pre sent rates the farmer would get about 12 cents por buhel for corn. Tho Milford Apiary. a - - ' 1 f T. ' pum: HONEY For Sale.
