Tho spootnl election hold oti Hie
2 -ill brought ont very lip'it vote.
About IQ of the rogulnr Tote wns
poik'tl and the snme rntio will hold
throughout the Btnto. The directions
fur voting wore not understood and
mnny voted nRalnst the amendments
when from their mnrhinjr they
renlly voted for soma of them.
Farmers hnvo hrvl n hard row to
hoe this yenr. Corn is almost a
fniluro, potatoes are rotting. Oats
are very light, rye la yielding poorly
and lots of pieces of buckwheat will
not bo cut. The old system of
plowing every field on the place
every third year and sometimes
oftener will have to he abandoned
and the land kept In pasture.
Alfred Bovnns fllkd his second
silo the ys weelt. Tho first one
will hold about 65 tons and the new
one about 115 tons. The new is
oircnlnr in form and is not under
novor. His dairy of nearly 50 cows
will undoubtedly get away with the
contents of those silos and more too.
Thursday I walkod over the new
road from end to end. The stone
crusher is In position and will be
working this week. The grading is
fast nearing completion and a few
days more will see the bridge abut
ments ready for the iron. Credit is
due to the contractor, Mr. Chamber-
Iain, for the good substantial abut
ments he is putting up. He
thoroughly understands his busi
ness. Prince Alert paced a mile in 1.57
on the Empire traok at Yonkera, N,
Y., the 23d of Sept. Did you ever
figure out- how fast a horse must
move to go a mile in 117 seconds?
Just figure it out and you will flud
he must cover 45 feet inches
every seoond. It does not look
possible does It.
The weather bureau offers to fur
nish flags, etc., to tho Layton
weather service station to indioate
what the weather will be for that
day. if we had a telegraph line. Too
bad for we have neither telegraph,
railroad or much of anything in this
valley. Some day there will be a
railroad np thi9 valloy, but it Is a
long time coming. Why, we cannot
got McAdam roads either.
The report of guns is frequently
heard and if all reports are true tho
shooting of gray squirrels Is going
on thesame as when the law permits
such Bhooting. Those cognizant of
the fact do not want to hurt the
hunter's feelings and thus the viola
tor goes free.
The Court of Errors and Appeals
has decided that the sohool law now
in force is unconstitutional and we
will have to fall back upon the old
law. Boards of education who have
borrowed money may have to foot
the bill personally as their action is
illegal and it is a question now
whether such boards have the right
to pay teachers salary.
Wafahington Dopue, merohunt at
Hainesvillo, has purchasod a lot in
Branohvillo, and will eroct thereon
a store and undertaking rooms. His
property is for sale at Ilainosville
with or without store goods. By
strict attention Mr. Dopue has built
up a good business.
John S. HursU, who has been
complaining for a long time, is at
this writing dangerously ill.
Parties buying 6 gallons of cider
and collecting a lot of boys and all
getting drunk may got into trouble
if they annoy the people of Abers
town ad was done last Sunday.
DINGMiX'S TERRY.
Cow buyers wonder why Pike
county fanners perniat In breeding
small cattle when they have been
told for years that only larger sized
animals are desired if they wish good
prices.
If a few of our boys would attend
the free courses given at the state
college no doubt some of them would
soon see the importance of an im
provement in breeding and urge their
neighbors to begin. Blacksmithing,
carpentering and other trades are
taught at the college and if boys do
not wish to stick to the farm tiiey
could learn some other business. For
admission and information concern
ing the college address Hon. John A.
Voodvard, Howard, I'a.
So fur our schools are progressing
nicely. Growlers and fault nuders
have not woke up yet.
IlickorynuU on some old trees are
large and well ileVcioptd but are not
filled.
Workmen have discontinued at the
sawmill on the Frazier lumber tract.
Delay in paying WBges is suid to be
the reason. 1 here is over half a
million feet of lumber ready fur
market out the railroad did not come
up this summer coiiujueul!y capital
is tied up.

Gained Forty Pounds In Thirty Days
For several months our younger
brother had been troubled with in
digestion. He tried several remedies
but got no benefit from them. We

Stomach and Liver Tablets and he

thirty days he had gained forty
pounds in flesh. He is now fully
reoovered. We have a good trade

The Washington Post says that
Democratic Candidate Clark of Ohio
is out-Bryaning Bryan. He is follow
ing the trail blazed by that leader,
by Towns and other calamity shout-
ers in 189G and 1000, apparently un
mindful of the fact that the path
leads only to defeat. The Post thinks
that possibly it may not have occurr
ed to Mr. Clarke that he is rendering
the republicans valuable service by
appearing in the role of a calamity
howler. The country has hod enough
and more than enough of the orators
of that school, and Mr. Clarke's
woe-laden predictions will be repudi
ated by democrats and republicans
alike.
Do Good It Pays.
A Chicago man bos observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real
estate deeds some of the latter are
worthies'. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend a holping
hand. You cannot possibly lobe by
it." .Most men appreciate a kind
word aud encouragement more than
substantial hulp, There are persons
in this community who might truth
fully say : "My good friend, cheer
up. A few doos of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy w.ll rid you of your
cold, and there Is no danger what
ever from pneumonia when you use
that medicine. It alw iys cures. 1
