sentenced a man to certain term in
the Clarion Jail. When the man
heard the sentence, he seemed to think
it was funny, and so burst out laugh

al place in the mill for a few weeks
to come.
An Allegheny merchant has put
up sign 'In God we trust all 9TH
ers cash." This is safe way of do

and S1,25 to $3.50 per bushsl for pO-
tatoes, it is going to be hard for him
to make ends meet, if the merchants
trust only their maker.
