MOODFORD

NOODFOED
The weather has been cool and
stormy for few days, so much so that
doors have been closed, ''peeping Johns"
have sounded again, martins have hid,
flies have vanished, and, taken all in all,
the change is quite agreeable. However,
probably, by the time this will have been
printed, ''Sol" will perform his mission,
by sending heat down upon the face of
the earth.
Our Centennial Celebration, Saturday
Goth instant, will, doubtless, be grand
affair. The Wilmington Cornet Band
will furnish music for the occasion.
Speeches will be made by eminent per-
sons from abroad. The day will be ushur-
ed III by the booming of cannon at sun
rise. For full particulars see posters and
bills of the day For further comments
on the subject, that will not be wholly
unintercSting in this connection, we will
say that the town of WoOdford was or
ganized February 18th 1869, since which
time, nearly 104 years have elapsed.
This prominent fact having presented it
self to the minds of some of our loyal
citizens, led them to the conviction
that they would no longer de-
lay in paying a tribute of honor
and respect, to their native town con
sequently the day above mentioned has
been set apart for giving a Grand Gen.
tennial Celebration. The town contains
AZ square miles, being miles by Z. The
first inhabitant was Caleb Moore Mat
thew and Zerah Scott settled here about
the same time. The first child born was
Benjamin, son of Benjamin Reed, Aug.
18th, 1879. The first representative
chosen was Obed Eddy, who refused to
serve, and the meeting having adjourn
ed, the town was unrepresented in the
Legislature and no suffrages for it were
given that year for governor, State and
county officers. The first town clerk
was Matthew Scott. The old turnpike
running through town was chartered
about A d. 1900. Just above the lake
or S'big pond" as it is commonly called,
or the first eminence of the road, is the
water shed dividing the valleys of the
Hudson and Connecticut rivers This

he has been in Congress his private for
tune and his health have both suffered,
and he needs rest to recuperate both.
For himself his defeat last fall was a
blessing; for the country great calam-

again return him TO the councils Of the
country, for he is one of the few "faith-
full, among the many, faithful found."--

on salary Of 5000 per year. When
they understand it, they will not be sur
lprisen. In the first place. Congressman
who does his duty has but little time TO

been, can not. especially if he is in the
minority, and seeks to SO shape legisla-

not be had without great expense, cspe-
Icially ii the governing party desires to
suppress it. Nothing but eternal vigil

able money could have enabled Mr.. Kerr
Ito defeat many Of the schemes started by
interested parties in Congress, and to

Human Kindness.

have seen the irosts of many winters
and the flowers Of many springs, but l
have seldom seen pure disimterested
kindness. Such seems to be the dispO-
sition vi mankind, that you seldom see
"a kind act, or seemingly kind one per-
formed, but by short course OF rcasOn-
ing you will, or may also see, some se.-
fish motive. You will often see this
among those PROCESSING TO be disciples
of the Son OF God. How often do you
see men, that ought to be the light Of
the world-tiic salt Of the earth, looking
cOidIy upon Il weak brother. aud thus
freezing the last spark Of Spiritual life
out Of his soul. This Is the Kindness
that dying morials receive, instead of
that recommended by the Apostle Paul I:
'ie who are Spiritual, restore such All
one in the spirit of meekness." Oh!
that men would drop envy, selfishness,
vanity, aye, all the evil passions which
Iurk abomt the human heart aud adopt
in their stead, kindness, frankness,
charity, love and al. those lovely attri-
butcs which would adurn humanity aud
bless the poor, benightcd souls Of earth,
by giving them more elevated opinion
OF mankind, and u sweet t0retaste OF
the bliss Of eternity.
Friends view the situation. Is there
not some little act of kindness that YOU
can perform that will gladden. the heart
OF some fellow creature! Look around
you. Are any suffering for want OF
food and raiment! Are any down-trod-
den and oppressed by fiemds in human
shape? Ii SO. conld you nor lend Il
helping hand by speaking o kind word !
If you would take such one by the
hand, and tell them to look up. perhaps
they would thank you for the Kindness,
take courage. and go forward with
renewed energy in life. becoming useful
and honored members Of society, and
in their turn be the means Of influence

ns We hayc hecn asked during tho

Ns We have been asked during the
last week why we have not, chitorially,
the character OF Hon. Schuy-
Ter Colfax. We have three reasons for
him. First, We believe he
was guilty Of falsehood in regard to his
dealings in Credit Mobilicr stock but.
this being our personal belief, others
have the same right 10 believe him
truthful; with others who think differ
ent on this point we have no quarrel.
Second, he knew all about the Credit
Mobilier business during the late can
vass, and at the same time denied it.
In this he was guilty of falsehood. -
Third, if he received the $1,000 from
Nesbit, which he says he die, as gift.
and like amountsat two other times.
while Ncsbit was holding a fat contract
with the Postofflce Department by a
very doubtfulstenure, and Colfax fled
an argument in favor Of continuing
said contract, all Of which is proven,
he was guilty of maIfcasancc in his high
Office. and should never again be trusted
by the American people. The Com
mercial is not in the white-washing
business. and can not justify Colfax. -.

Der and November and thus have been the sayor OF
the Grant party The journals Of Philadelphia concede
these claims The Census of 1870 places the total coored
population of Pennsylvania 1924 and that of Phila
delphia at 22lI The most liberal estimate Of voters
according TO population would place the coored vote Of
the State at about $4,000 and that of Philadelphia at
about 400 If these voters their ballots for the
successful party-whieh seriously doubt-they must
have been quite as remarkable for industry at the ballot
box as for the loyalty for which they claim reward To
have cast $1,000 ballots each OF these extra loyal citizens
