There are many PERSONS respecta-
bic class in numbers--who are particu-
larry slow about discharging small
obligations. To these small debts too
little importance is attached, Let
everybody pay their small debts if they
can't pay their larger ones, and the CT
feet would be most salutary in this and
all other communities, and particularly
40 in times of financial depression like
that thrO' which the country is now
passing. Were his plan adopted gen.
orally, hundreds yes thousands Of dol
.Iars slowed away in pocket books,
secretaries, etc, would find circulation
in almost every community, and every
body be more or less benefited thereby.
If you owe debt and have the means
10 discharge it don't defer payment
three or four months. Pay at once
and enable your neighbor in turn to
pay somebody else, and thus keep the
money. however small the SUMS, NOV
ing. 1t is want of confidence, or rather
q species of moral coWardice that in
duces many persons TO plead poverty
and horde their means instead Of pay
ing these small debts. ...

THE srONEWALL BRIGADE.

According to notice few of the old
members of this Brigade met at the
Register Office on Saturday last.
Prof. JOSEPH McMURRAN was
made Chairman and Geo. Yontz and
Edward Lucas appointed Secretaries.
The Chairman briefly stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting to be, to consult to-
gether and make arrangements for visit
ing Richmond and witnessing the inau-
guration OF the Statue of 'Stonewall
Jackson" name dear to every soldier
and to every family of the Shenandoah
Valley. He alluded to the great and
good name that the soldiers of this Brl-
gade sustained wherever they were
known, and the great interest manifest
ed by the people to see gathered to-
gether at Richmond the remnant OF this
famous Brigade of the "Army of the
Shenandoah;" that arrangements had
been made for their entertainment at
Richmond and free transportation over
the Virginia Railroads. The following
resolutions were introduced and unani-
mously adopted
RESOLVED, That it is with unfeigned
pleasure that We learn that a Statue of
"Stonewall Jackson" has been received
by the State of Virginia, gift Of some
English gentlemen, the admirers Of the
illustrious here whose fame is world
wide, and regard it as a noble tribute
both to the State and her beloved son.
RESOLVED, That we will use every ef-
fort to be present on the 26th instant at
the unwilling of the Statue and take
part in the Inauguration ceremonies, and
thus show our respect for the memory
of him whom the statue is intended ~
commemorate but who has,in the regard
and love of his former soldiers, monu-
ment more lasting than bronze or maj bic.
RESOLVED, That we will cooperate
with other soldiers of this Brigade in
this and adjoining counties, so as to Sc
cure the attendance OF as many as posi-

THE ELECTION
is OVER.
THE SIXTY YEARS BOARD HAS
AGAIN BEEN ELECTED BY
FRAUD.

THE election for Presidents and Di-
i rectors of the Boonsboro' Turnpike
Board have elected themselves again by
fraud. The election according to CAPT
tai" Is worse than Tweed frauds of New
York. All that the stockholders desire,
who are nearly all widows and orphans,
who hold stock, is for the sixty years
Board to make fair and clear statement
of their proceedings. Is there anything
wrong in making this demand2 All
persons who know anything about cor
porations will say no; its their right 10
demand statement Now we ask
those gentlemen who stand here in this
community as christians and honest
men TO come out. You have the books
Let the widows aud orphans know
what you have done with the assets re-
ceived by tolls for the last sixty years.
You have collected by tolls, according
to toll gate keepers statements as much
as $1,000 or sl400 per year. Come out
gentlemen, show you; hands: don't dis
semble, don't cloak, don't cover; come
out like honest men, show the stock
holders who were not allowed to vote
by proxy and TO the world clean state
ment Of Your acts. Look at the law of
1912, See if you have complied with it.
Attend to this plain request; if you do
not in reasonable time make a diyi-
dend of the supposed large amount OF
assets Oh hand, the stockholders will
force you according to law.
A STOCKHOLDERS.
p. S. Persons who hold stock, take
care not to sacrifice il; hold on to it un-
til the old illegal board is voted out.

B@ Schools. - Bishop Kahn, of
Wheeling, delivered lecture at the
Town Hall, in Weston, OH the evening
of September 21st, which is highly
spoken of by correspondent OF the
Weston Democrat. The writer says
of the Bishop himself, that che presents
an attractive, progressing counte-
nance and commanding figure. HIS
diction is elegant and his argument
forcible and logical. The audience
was delighted with the eloquence OF the
Reverend speaker, an0 his memory
will long be cherished by both Protest
ants and Catholics who heard him"
The subject of the lecture was "Faith. '
At the close of the lecture he animad-
verted to the question Of the Bible in
the schools. . t.,. - .t-a.-
ale stated that protestants general
" thought that Catholics disrespected
the Bible and wished to expel 1t from
the schools. He said that such was not
his feelings; he.wanted to see the Bible
in the schools; he wanted to see prayer
and religious devotion there also, that
he sincerely hoped these little children
would be raised up pious Protestants; II
such is not done the schools would be-
come demUralizcd but that Catholics
could not send their children to be
taught Professionalism, for this would be
the most slaring Inconsistency in Cath
Ollie parents While he thought that
Professionalism had some defects, yet,
beyond doubt. it is to be preferred to
the skepticism Of the day; that he
hoped that Protestant children during
their younger days might be taught to
practice their religion =
