The Press seems to be a great advocate
of good roads which Is right. Every trav
eller likes good roads, but so far the solu
tion to pay for them has not been solved.
It docs notook right to tax the already
overburdened farmer for to build bicycle
roads for outsiders who come hero for a
day or two, pay no taxes, and want to own
tho earth. The farmer of to-day is not
hardly boss of his own property. H unters
roam over his farm, tear down his fences,
occasionally shoot one of his fowls and If
he protests they arc likely to tell him to go
to a warmer climate. Now if you want to
build those good roads and make the farm
er pay the bill, Is ho able to do It f Are
bicycle owners willing to pay any part of
the expenses F 1 havo never heard of one
who was, but have heard lots of them find
fault with tho roads. Now your whocl
man tolls us his wheel costs 150 good
enough. How much tax does he pay on
his investment. Again a young mau has
a horse and wagon valued at $150 how
much tax doos he pay on his personal prop
pertyf Give us good roads but don't legis
late In such a way as to mako tho farmer
pay the bill.

(Special Correspondence to the PliEss. )
A IA8T OPPORTUNITY.
LAYTON, Dec. 21 Had our township
bought a rock crushing plant a few years
ago when the subject was being agitatwl
we should now bave our system of Im
proved roads well under way, and during
this time the plant would have' been In de
mand by other townships, whom wo could
have served just as well as to have the
machinery lying idle. Tho receipts from
such work would have been very useful iu
reducing the expense in our own township
aud In time would havo materially aided
In completing a system of crushed stone
roads, for our people. One plant can easily
do the work for a tinlf dnzcu townships.
It should,not stand Idle long.
Mrs. Stoil, relict of Oakley Stoll, and
mother of Geo. C. Stoll recently deceased,
died at the home of the latter on Monday,
of the iullrmitlus incident to old age.
The Anson H. Kiulner furm of lui.1-6
acres, situattf ubout midway between
Hainesville, and Luytou was sold at
Sheriff's Sale at the Court House in New
ton, Dec. 21. It w as knocked off at $1610.
00, and sold to Mrs. Kute Fuller of Wal
puek. At the same time aud place a lot
known as the steam saw mill tract, con
sisting of mountain luiuU iu the upcr end
of this township about lino acre if 1 un
derstood correctly, sold for t-'jUO.
Frank KonenLruns is selling chances on
bis buy carriage horse, numbered from 1
to lai mid costing; no equal number of

Years Day.
We are pleased to not that John Wcst
bnstk the blacksmith, has located at
Hainesville. John Is one of those smiths
that can do business anywhere simply bv
cntise ho Is a workmnn.
The gent who crosses the river down thlR
way to meet n lady In Port Jervls, should
keep a little out of sight when ho gets
there. People are so liable to notice such
things you know.
John Smith who Is about to build on a
lot he bought of G.'K. Hursh has the cellar
and foundation ready for tho frame, and
this will probably go on this week. John
is a mechanic and Is building his home
himself.
Mrs. Dayton Hcvanswas taken seriously
111 last Sunday Dec. 18. She Is easier at
this writing, but still In a critical condi
tion. Mrs. Estelln Klntncr litis been suffering
from a severe attack of rheumatism dur
ing the last week, from which she has not
fu.ly recovered at this writing.
Our township solons deem it wise to re
move tho bounty on wide tires and thus
practically say that what the Legislature
considered a liouelielul law, framed to pre
serve the roads was a mistake. Several
Slates have enacted laws giving a bounty
on wide tires, or else making cit necessary
for persons using a wngon on the public
roads, carrying ritmil pounds, or upward to
take out a license therefor, nnd to pay n
certain sum Into the town treasury for
such privilege. The movement for good
roads will eventually get beyond tho con
trol of the moss covered advocates ol
grand-fathers methods, and will give us
something permanent to show for the
money expended upon our thoroughfares.
We have a very good blacksmith at Lay
ton In the person of Jacob Cole. Expert
In sleel or any other fine work, and you
mill not return a horse two or three times
to get him shod right. Try him.
The mall route from Flatbrookville to
Layton Is said to have been bought by an
Iowa Star router for ti!7i.W. The distance
is twelve miles. Number of trips B12.
Each trip about eighty-eight cents. It Is
the cities, tho railroads, and steamship
lima that get the real benefits of any ex
penditures In tho Post Olllce Department.
To tho Montague scrllie a Christmas
Greeting. Wero really Mattered to think
we were missed while on our trip. Have
you ever lieen theref Let us both hang up
our stockings.
The vertical method of Penmanship Is
reclevlng favorable mention from teachers
aud prominent educators wherever its
merits are investigated. It Is claimed to
give greater ease, rapidity, and legibility,
which if true should call for Its ndoptlou
in our Bchools.
Tho coal dealer says It Is a durned mean
blacksmith that will not pay his coal bills.
So say we all of us. Less poker, and more
money for coal will perhaps result.
Supt. Luther Hill has given tho schools
a call during the last week. Sickness and
vacations havo played havoc with the
morale of many schools, aud the Superin
tendent was quick to sympathize wlth.and
encourage the teachers In tholrofforts. His
visits are always appreciated.
Any one knowing of a damp place in the
roud, or where water may run at some
future tlmo, should notify the freeholder,
so he can build a bridge right away, quick.
He can graciously accept twice as much lu
fees ns the bridge will cost to build, and
preach economy to his conBtiuu'iits In the
meantime).
In this vicinity are several persons who
should have had a wider scope, a broader
opportunity to perfect their talents. Each
one a genius in somo special lino of
mechanics, and Bometlmcs iu several; that
would havo given them prominence lu
some wider Held. I recall for Instance
Charles Gran & Son, John Youngs, B. D.
Hursh, G. W. Van Slcklo, Jacob Colo.
These cover the fields of tinning, black
smithing, plumbing, musical instruments
well drilling, electrical work, carpenter
ing ete.

Following is a letter received by some
gentlemen who recently hunted In this
county:
SlitMIOLA FALLS, Pike Co., Pa.,
Nov. f, lM'Ki.
Dr. F,. L. Wheeler nnd nartv. now ston.
ping lit t he West brook Inn, Blooming
Grove, Pike Co., Pa.
DeaiiSiks: I now inform you nnd vour
party that it ntiv of them trespass in any
way on the Slioliola Falls property, that I
will prosecute them to the full extent of
the law. Mr. estbrook or .lerrv Green
ing (one .if your guides) are perfect lv fami
liar with the detail of this property. I
will cause you set-iou" trouble If you' per
sist lu trespassing on said procrty.
Yours trulv,
GAitiinf W. Hart,
Owner of Shnholn Falls property.
The facts are that John Williams shot 1
deer on t'ranb Try Ridge; Lewis Haven 1
on Rock Hill Hiilge; August T.implcr 1 In
Pine Orchard; Dr. Kelly 2 at the Judd
plan-, making 5 deer killed In two weeks,
and none of them on the Falls property,
and the party did not hunt there, nor did
they stop at. Wcsthrook's, but at. Dr.
Kelly's. They only camped one day and
that was at the Pelton place. They did
not go to Mr. Hart's because they wished
to select t heir own guides, and Mr. Havens
did not go there because he had lent a
guide recommended by Mr. Hart some
years ago a gun and w hen he asked for it
the guide threatened to throw him in the
creek.
No man has any right to shoot deer In
the water and this has been done up there.
This will also answer nn article pub
lished In the Gszette some days ago which
docs great injustice to these gentlemen.

John I. Blnir gave Princeton
University $150,000 on the ocension
of its spsfju-cpnteniiial celebration.
The money will bo used in building n
new dormitory to bo called Blnir
Hull, work upon which litis already
commenced. The contract price is
131,200.00, nnd it is to be com
pleted by Oct, 1, 1807. It will be
seven or eight hundred feet long,
fifty feet wide nnd two stories high ,
and fashioned after the English col
leges. The location of tho building
will tend tshut the university off
from the town.
A Narrow Escape.
A. Frank C'arrick who was the
engineer in charge of the survey
made by tho D. V. E. Railway and
who is now in tho Phillippino Islands
write? that a plot was discovered by
which all the whites on tho islands
were to havo been killed on the
night of Hopt. 1, and that since that
time there has been almost constant
fighting between tho natives and
Spanish troops. It was a narrow
escajie and wo congratulate Mr.
Carrick on still wearing his bead in
its accustomed placo.
A Novel Suit.
Over in Susses county a farmer
named Hopkins bought of tree deal
ers over 4000 peach trees which it
turned out wereaffected by root gall.
Ho planted them, nnd not only his
orchard but the ground was so in
fected that it was impossible there
after to raise heal thy trees in it. He
brought suit against the nursery
men for damages, and tho case was
tried at tho recent term of Court in
Newton and resulted in a verdict of
'.50 for plaintiff.
