SUMMERHILI., Aug. s. 1874.
EDITOR FREEMAN Dear Sir: Permit me to
say lew words, more or less through the me-
dium of your valuable sheet | was Quietly
looking on while my worthy friend sc. & II y
helliOus South Forllers. and was pleased 10 see
that his flank movements and able ge neralship
soon Lao the effect pf Silcnci,lg their siege ptTS
ana other field pieccs-a result which [ vainly
hoped would end the contest aud restore peace.
nave said Nainiy hoped because to my surprise.
when some of the citizens of CroyIe assembled
mere not long since TO elect Delegates TO the
county convention, the scceSh of South Fork
came mere in full force, although they were
cunning enough to keep their batteries Inaskpd
! MS was another bold attempt on part of the
% '%"HiiIies 10 confront the Union men of CroYlc,
ana Perry Swartzcntruvor trOasted after tlre
ii2ht that II lie had had a better man in the
hcid win him south Fork would have been
successful. But thank fortune. the final vic
tory was with the Union-oving men of CsoyIc.
am sorry to say, Mr.. Editor, that South
FORK mas become so terribly sin 81 ricken that
every Union principle, eligious as well as po-
htlcal, has been abandoned. Yes even at the
lat Sabbath school convention held in Ebens-
burg the ;. ;. of South Fork, which was to hay Q
1ecn represented as Union Sabbath School.
was placed on an entirely different footing by
is representative.
l do not know why South Fork cntertafls
feelings 50 hostile to our town, unless it Is be-
cause of the result of the election for Justice
last Spring. since whc,f our worthy sSaiIjt e. J
IL Z. has been imposing the Just penalties of
the law on some of South Fork 5 tranSgressDrs.
which same causes those law les rebais To- rem

thought OF Il FINAL judgment ohtrudcs Itself
upon them. And yet our Justice secs the. lt;Nv
but dimlN through his glasses Another reason
why south Fork trOWnS upon may possibly
DC found in tn" fact that the citizens of Sum
mtrhil are strictly loyal to the laws of the land
ahd are a.ty growing in favor with all good
people, ana because our town is increasing in
iallt' IN fopainti0n in wealth. and above ali,
IN morality. We have il fine church here large
ana comEICilots, yet there Il great many
OF our God tearing PEOPLE who cannot find
room IN the church. ana hence are forced to
worship IN the school house. for which prlNi-

ABOUT TO build another church. which / TRUST

VINO are now unprovided for, which of course
does not include many of our most worthy cir
Nens who worship God IN the Catholic aud other
churches at NIlmure. Add to all this the fur
thcr fact that our business men are entcruris-
ing ana progressive, and then combine ali the
characteristics of our people AMI Won wifi
have a picture which South Fork rebel d n I
Ike to gaze upon, much less emulate.
As tins j. my first appearance on the war
path Will close for the present, but may have
something more to say hereafter.
