Correspondence.
SANDYSTON IN GESEKAL
Mr. Luthur Hill was appointed
Superintendant of Schools for this
county in 1876, and was re-appointed
for another term on the 30 ult.
Ever kind and courteous he has won
the esteem of the teachers, and his
re-appointment meets the hearty
approval of them all.
The Republicans claim to imper
ialism is neatly summed up by Mr.
Bryan in his Keokuk speech, when
he said their claim was based on
"Money in it, God's in it, and we
are in it." This tells the whole
story.
In passing tho potato field on tho
VanSickle farm at Bov:in.i I was
shown tho largest sized tubers as a
whole that I ever saw dug in this
town. In fact thore are no small
ones, and the majority of them are
larger than most people care to use
for cooking.
Mrs. Anna. Kyte, of Newark, N.
J., died on the 6th Inst., and her
ImkIv was brought to Ilainesvillo for
burial on Saturday last. Mrs. Kytt'
had been sick for a long time, and
was upwards of 8(1 years old. She
was a widow of Thomas Kyte dec'd
and for many years lived at I.ayton
on the farm now occupied by (t. K
Hursh. Of the Immediate family
her son Ford Is the only surviving
memlHT.
A call has been made for a meet
ing of those interested at Montross'
hotel on Saturday next nt 1 p. in. to
see what can be done toward build
ing a creamery at Layton. Mr,
Fulboam, of liianchville, is behind
the movement, and if the farmers in
and nliout Layton will come out anil
meet Mr. F. they will be told nil the
facts ulxmt how it will be carried on
Mrs. Luey Warner, of this town
lies very ill or consumption, and no
hopes of recovery are entortainoil
Thomas Lantz, of Ilainesvillo
but now attending the Norma
School at Strondsburg spent Satur
day and Sunday with bis parents
returing to his sohool on Monday.
Uncle John Lantz, of Brnnchville
visited Sandyston last week, and
while here went to the photograph
gallery with his great grandson,
Lantz Rosenkrans, and had their
picture taken. Mr. Lantz is 80 and
his great grandson 3 yours of age.
This, I understand is the first photo
Mr. Lantz ever had taken.
The bridge piors at Dingmans
are making very little progress and
unless that oompany gots a move
on pretty soon, it will be well into
1900 before it is ready for use.
The Democratic caucus at Hainos
ville on Saturday was attondel only
by the faitbful, and not a very
large crowd at that. E. E. Smith
for Assembly and John Uotalon for
Sheriff were endorsed by the caucus
for eloction but.
Everott Hursh attending scbool
at Newton spent Saturday and Sun
day with his parents at Hainesville.
A social will bo held at the resi
dence of Dr. Hughes at Layton, on
Wednosday evening, Oct. 18. The
young folks are looking forward to
a jolly good time.
I hear talk of nominating Wash.
Lantz, of this plaoe, for Sheriff, and
it is needless to say that he would
fill the position withcredid to him
self and to the county The Reps,
cannot find a better man for the
place.
Appellation Lady Tabooed.
The Long Island R. R. Co. has
posted in its stations the following
notice :
"All employees in addressing a
woman must use the term,
"madam," avoiding the torm
"lady," which is objectionable.
Employees must not take hold of a
passenger, except where it is
necessary to avoid accident or to
care for small children or an elder
ly person in need of assistance."
The Standard dictionary defines
the term lady as "a refined and well
bred woman j" a womau of superior
position in society." Now what
bus cast such odium on the term
that its use as an appellative to one
of the gentler sex should be pro-
hibited ? A woman is "an adult-
human female." Surely that term
is brooder and less definitive of
just the characteristics which a
well bred and refined person of that
sex is supposed to possess, and why
should they object to a noun which
implies distinction. The word
nudum once applied to women of
the highest rank, is now applied to
all who are respectable, and is some
times a slangy torm as "you must
ask the madam." It would soem
that there is more prudery than
real good reason in this attempt to
change the good old title of lady to
that of niaduui.
MATAMORAS.
Owing to a failure to make train
'otmeetlon, V. T. Dundii'k, who
was to deliver a prohibition leeture in
I'reseott Hall, this village, last Hut-

will however visit thl'illage soon.
The Mutiunors (flee Club, of St.
ixepliH church, will give a hop on
Monday evening Oct. Kith, at Mill
ers' Hull. A very pleasant time is

Clarence Jinny, ol this town, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Duilv who
has spent two years as an apprentice
n board the New York School ship
St. Mary returned home last Thurs-
luy having finished his apprentice
ship course. Clarence will now seek
a position with some regular steain-
bip or sailing vessel, us a junior of.
ncer. e trust lie will prosper In
in his chosen profession and secure a
good place with a tirst-class line.
