MATAMORAS.
(Special Correspondence to the Press.)
Matamoras, Sept. 16. There has been
aome discussion in this and adjoining
states as to the practice under the free
text book law of placing the old school
books again In the hands of children. It
Is oontended that disease germs may be,
and often are transmitted In this
manner. It might be well to have all old
books thoroughly disinfected.
The road leading to the old Wchinger
farm has been greatly Improved by the
use of the road machine. The same treat
ment would benefit other streets in Mata
moras.
Wednesday, Sept. 9th was the twelfth
anniversary of the marriage of Mr. Edwin
M. Kimball to bis good wife, and it had
been decided to quietly celebrate the event
by Inviting a few friends, but the design
was thwarted by the members of the
Ladles' Christian Union of the Hope
Church who turned out In a body and sur
prised the happy couple. To make the
event more enjoyable a large delegation of
the Royal Templars of Temperance, of
Port Jervls, soon arrived to wish them
much joy and many happy returns of the
day. These expressions also took on
material shape in the form of a beautiful
rocker which was highly appreciated by
the grateful recipients. Rev. J. A. Wle
gand made the presentation speech which
was fittingly responded to by Mr. Kimball.
A Five-o'Clock tea having been prepared
all sat down and thoroughly enjoyed the
repast, after which the guests departed
with niany kind wishes for the welfare of
the family. It was on the whole a day of
pleasure for the entire family. The venera
ble parents of Mr. KimlttUl who not long
since celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
their wedding, as albo Burr W. Kimball
and wife, of Troy, N. Y., were present and
added largely to the enjoyment of the oc
casion.
Burr W. Kimbull and wife left for their
home In Troy, N. Y., Monday alter a few
days very pleasantly spent visiting friends
and relatives here. . T kojan.

An exodus of our politicians took place

this year is considered equivalent to an

advertisers by several publications
that if McKinley Is not elected
at the coming presidential election
their contracts are to be annuilea,
and no payment is to be made for
the advertising between the giving
of the oontract and election day.
This would seem to indicate that

Milford, Sept. 11 1896.
Editor Press. Sir. In your most
esteemed paper I notice an article
entitled. "Suppose you should be
mistaken" I gladly take it up for
the farmers who are likely to look
at it in the way you put it. I will
answer your query about like this.
There is no fear of any such hasty
calling upon the mortgagors, for
the leaders, are better posted on
money matters than we generally
suppose, nor will sales be any more
extensive than they are about now.
But all the same Mr. Editor keep the
farmers posted on those matters, it
will do no harm if no good. As for
interest, all good farmers will strive
to get oat of paying that, and will
attain what they strive for by pay
ing off the mortgages, which will be
much bettor. We will also soe once
more a better and freer people. I
should add that the month of Sep
tember, the harvest month for farm
ers, gives a great chance for think
ing and the farmer will do some of
it, for his own benefit. C. L

Whitening Fast.
Whe& Dr. Roes last preached in

one of those who are always remind'
ing people that they are getting old
"You are whitening fast, Dr.
itees." -rne oia man ma not say
anything then, but when he got to
the pulpit he referred to it and said
"There is a wee white flower that
comes up through the snow and
front, but we are all glad to soe the
snowdrop, because it proclaims that
the winter is over and that the sum'
mer is at hand. A friend reminded
me last night that I was whitening
fast. But heed not that, brother ; it
is to me a proof that my winter will
soon be over, that I shall have done
presently with the cold east winds
and the frosts of earth, and that my
summer my eternal summer is at
hand. Dr. Heber Evans.

A Story of the Merry-Go-Round,
The
Christian Lady, and
the Cow.
With Other Minor Bvrnt Concerning the
Hero of I'timillKe Alley.
The merry -go- round and Its mauagor has
boon having somo Interesting and novel
experiences lately. The great smash up of
last spring with their weighty matters
pertaining thereto are written la history,
and will bo found stored up In the archives
of Sussex, and Pike counties.
Some of the mnnagers later experlenoos
are as thrilling as tho adventures of Don
Quixote, and like his, should bo nnbalmed
In printer's Ink for the amusement and
benefit of posterity. To make them read
able and not too offenslvo to good taste,
the minor details of what accompany a
drunken orgle In low life will be carefully
eliminated, and such happenings recorded
as should occur only when they are given
the melodious name of the merry-go-round
and Its managor is an Orator, Butchor,and
Freeholder all rolled Into one. It will be
remembered that the manager has often
told you through his organ, tho Gazette,
that tho carousel Is undergoing repairs,
but that Is a mild fiction to lots of other
things he telfc you through the same medi
um, for while It may not have been In full
bloom It has been considered safe enough
for Its managor to take many experimen
tal Hdes thereon since Its great smash up
last spring. On Wednesday last the mana
ger was spinning the Carousel on Spring
street, Newton, and elsewhere around
town, but while operating on Spring street
It became a llttlo erratic in its actions, and
got Its arms around a good Christian lady,
mother of a grown up family, etc, right in
view of numerous people on the street, and
the Court House steps. No harm was done
evidently, as the good Christian lady,
mother of a grown up family etc, smiled
and seemed highly pleased. Later in the
day the machine got to running In a hdtol
In Branchville and only by persuasion was
it induced to go home without wrecking
the hotel. A fortunate thing indeed for
the villnge of Branchville. On Thursday
after slight repairs the carousel went to
Pennsylvania and only a mild spin was
given it. But on Friday It got on the
rampage and came near being the death of
Its manager, In fact broke all its previous
records. With Josh, the "Judge," and Its
manager on board the start was made to
soe how the machine would work In bo-
curlng a chattel mortgaged cow without
due process of law. As you romembcr,the
motive power Is Jersey lightning. Well
when It got to "Judge Sanitorlum" the
tank was filled, and steam turned on, but
enough pressure could not lie developed to
draw the cow from hor moorings.
Tho machlno was thon run up to
"Bonoys," tho "biler" filled and the blower
put on. This proved to be a dangerous
proceeding for the carousel soon got be
yond control as might have been expected
from previous experience. While under
great speed It run Its manngors stomach
against a bundle of knuckles belonging to
George Crone, and while the manager sat
on his pants with the carousel In rapid
gyration his head came In violent contact
With a club, the property of Everott Crone.
The machine now took the bit In Its teeth
and made crooked tracks for Hainosville
blowing off at short Intervals to beat the
cars. Arriving at Hnlnesvllle In due sea
son it is said the "Judge's" hostler ex
amined the machine carefully and found
the steam all out and the "biler" very
weak, and in his opinion not safe to fill up
again at once. The hostler there upon got
most of the machine to bed in a box stall.
The manager is In hospital somewhere
near the head of "Paradise Alley" whenoe
comes weeping and walling, and a call for
court plaster and arnica that will clean up
the old stock of all the drug stores In town.
Sorrowful to relate, but it seems to be the
managor instead of the merry-go-round
that is laid up for repairs this time.

THE TEACHERS' WORLD.
All teachers and friends of education are
cordially luvltod to contribute whatever
may be helpful or suggestive to others In
this lins of work. Communications will
be gladly received by the editor of this de
partment.
Mill Rift, Pa., Sept. 14, 1898.
To the Editor of the Pike County
Press ; Dear Sir. In reply to
your communication concerning an
educational column in the Pike
County Press, I will say that I am
of the opinion that a column devoted
to education and the schools would
not only prove of much interest to
the publio, but would have a tend
ency to bring out some of the best
thoughts in regard to school work
and to bring tho various schools of
the county into a closer rela tionship.
The newspaper reaches ,. nearly
every home throughout the county
and is a poworf ul agent In moulding
the public mind and in creating in
terest and enthusiasm in all sub
jects concerning the publio welfare.
The school interests of the county
are of the utmost importance, con
sequently it seems to me that an
educational column would be a de
sirable addition to a county paper.
Beside the many teachers, there
axe, throughout the county, experi
enced individuals who are interested
in educational matters, and who, it
is to be hoped, will contribute to the
column. Yours respectfully,
Geo. Sawyer.
