The cold weather ha9 organized
debating clubs around the store
stoves. One question discussed was
marriage, and it seems to be agreed
that the old fashioned institution
does not tend to the full emancipa

ren are sometimes crowded into
occupations, because of the cheaper
labor, which should be filled by the
fathers, and they are thus thrown
out of employment. The woman
who should be a help mate is thus
made really to be an incubus.

Rome time ago I referred to the

the pie that they were trapping for
skunks. Isaac Angle of Warren

I notice, that "Dingme.ns Ferry"
says, "If New Jersey had a Macadam
road from Layton to Port Jervis,"
etc. Well, my dear friend, I and
others have been praying for that
kind of road for years,; and am in
hopes we will get It one of thebedays.
But the way things, 1 me&n financial'

road business Is Iu the same tlx.
only wish we had your great banks

you in that the road from Layton to
the river is the "toughest" In thta

head a movement to change that
piece of road, for It would be
decided benefit to those living along
the river aa well as our neighbors

A Bargain For Farmr-rs
The New York Tribune Fanner, fl
national illustrated agricultural
weekly of twenty large pages, 1ms
no sniorior as a thoroughly practical
and helpful publication for the
farmer and every member of his
family, and thtj publishers are rlo
tnrtnined to give it a circulation un
equalled by any paper of Its class in
the United Slates.
Knowing that every enterprising,
up-to-date farmer always reads his
own local weekly newspaper. The
New York Tribune Farmer has mHdc
an exceedingly liberal arrangement
which enables ns to offer tho two
papers nt bo low a price that no
farmer can afford to lose the op
portunity. The price of The New York Tri-
bune Farmer is 1. 00 a year and Tun
Pitfiss Is $1.50 a year, but both
papers will bo sent for a full year if
yon forward fl.05 to The Press
Milford, Fenna.
Send your name and address to
The New York Tribune Farmer,
New York City, and a opocimen copy
of that paper will be mailed to yen.

The democratic party is becoming
more and more exhausted as the
months pass in Its race after an
available candidate.
Col. Bryan with his fund of Infor
mat ion for political mischief-making
within the democratic party amply
reinforced by his European trip,
would be a valuable asset of the
republican party, lf"there were any
need this year ot lurther splitting up
that effete organization.
