A CURIOUS phase of sectionalism Is called
to mind by the Albany Journal. When the
President went to New England, he was well
coined everywhere by the people as citizens
OF the United States, and in the name of the
American people. The moment he passes
Mason and Dixon's line, and gets into Ken
lucky, he is welcomed sin the name of the
Southern people," and each orator rings the
changes on the word Southern" 1t may
simply illustrate the force of habit, but It is
"habit" that has cost the people of that
section much in the past.

The Boston Globe learns that at the extra
session of Congress in October the President
will not send in his annual message, but will
transmit merely the reasons why the extra
session was called and submit the estimates
of the War Department for the army appro-
priation. 1t is learned that in addition to
this there will be sent in several other execu-
tive papers of interest. Included in these
will be communication from the Secretary
OF the Navy, calling attention to deficiencies
in the appropriation for the pay of naval Of
ficers for the closing three months of the last
fiscal year. The Secretary of State will pre-
sent the correspondence on the subject of
American representation at the Paris Exposi-
tion and urging the Immediate action of Con-
gress in supplying the necessary legislation.
The Secretary of the Interior will lay before
Congress the necessity of making some modi-
fication in the pension laws, so as to facilitate
the examination of pension cases, of which
$4,000 are now waiting examination. Cor
respondence with the various State authori-
ties at the time of the railroad strike and re-
ports of United States army officers in COM
mand at the scenes of disturbance, will also
be sent to Congress.

Twas considerably impressed with "Work-
ingman's' letter in last issue of your paper.
1t led me to review the field carefully, and
l could see nothing in the movement that
could be of any benefit to us Workingmen;
but on the contrary could see, as " Work.
ingman" portrayed it, that we are only
making matters worse by not standing by
the Republicans i'll the contest against
Ring rule;'' that we were really assisting
the Democrats in electing their ticket. [
have always had a suspicion that the move
ment was a trick, and little circumstance
that occurred this week fully confirmed me
in the belief. 1t was this: We concluded
to send to Baltimore and have our tickets
printed. I'VE did this for reasons | will
not state In due course of time they ar
arrived, when, 10 and behold, they were
headed 1.-The Democratic Reform or
1.-The Democratic Labor Reform Ticket"
with Thomas 5. Heating, the Democratic
candidate for Comptroller of the treasury,
at the head. This showed at once to me
that the printer had received his orders
from the Democratic party managers in
Cecil county; but fortunately this was go
ing little too far. showing the hand rather
plainly, and the managers of the so. called
Workingman's movement thought so, as it
certainly opened the eyes of some who were
in their favor. Therefore they concluded to
send back the mongrel tickets, which they
did at once, but not before some of us got
sight of them, leading us to believe that some
men, who are making such a strong move
and taking such an active part in the Work
lngmen's movement, are working directly
and kno~ingly for the interest of The Demo
cratic party. am glad this matter is hav-
ing its weight on the minds of some Work
ingmen, so that they will again vote with
the Republican party. LABoRER

Thomas jefferson Potts was the Youngest
son of Major James and Sarah (WesseiD
Potts, was born at Frankfort, in Philadel-
pima county, Pa. on the 14th of December,
lI9o. His ancestors, on his fathers side
reach back to the settlement of that State,
they having either accompanied William
Penn III the good ship" w elcome " in 1862,
or settled in the province at about that
time. His ancestors, on his mothers side,
where among the earliest Dutch settlers in
New Amsterdam, now New York City.
In 1SOS he removed with his parents to
Chester county, and first lived on the farm
now owned by James Hartshorne and
afterwards on the farm owned by the
late Wilson Hershberger About the wear
1925 he purchased the farm upon which he
died and had since resided thereon.
In 1888 he married Miss Margaret Carter
and by her had seven children-five sons
and two daughters. Mrs. Potts died in
1874. The sons are all living, but the
daughters are deceased.
Thomas Jefferson Potts has been so
long resident of the same locality that he
was widely and favorably known. There
are but few living in Highland township
who were contemporary with him in his
boyhood. He had long been consistent
member of Fagg's Manor Presbyterian
Church. His life was blameless and exem
plary; his end quietness and peace.

BURGLARY-A HAUL OF TRAMPs-On
Saturday night last, about II o'clock, some
colored boys, who were in the neighbor-
hood of the depot, observed gang of
tramps sitting by the road side having, in
their possession, suspicious-lookin bag.
The boys came down town and informed
special Officer Shatfer of the circumstance,
who, upon taking peep at them, felt con-
WINGED that the bag contained stolen goods.
Leaving the boys to watch them, he hunted
up Bailiff Shockley, and, in company with
him and Mr.. S. J. Price, returned and ar
rested the entire party.
Upon examining the bag, it was found
to contain carpenters tools of all descrip-
tions; and beneath the coat of one of the
party was also found a saw. The tools
were at once recognized by Mr.. Shaffer-
who works for Mr.. J. p. Marrett, at his
shop, adjoining Davis & Keys planning
mils-as belonging partly to him and partly
to Marrett. An examination was then
made of the carpenter shop, and it was
found that it had been entered through the
window, from which they had broken the
glass, and the entire stock of tools were
missing.
Upon hearing before Squire Ford, the
parties gave the names of John Reynolds,
John Brady, Burnett McCabe and Viii
liam Moon. They admitted the theft and
told where they had secreted that portion
of the tools not found upon them, which
were afterwards recovered. In addition to
the robbery of the carpenter shop, they had
broken into the office of Messrs. Davis &
Keys adjoining, but failed to secure any
booty.
| Reynolds, Brady and McCabe were com
mitted to await the action of the grand
jury, and Moon was discharged, it being
proved that he joined the party subse
quent to the commission of the burglary
| and was ignorant of it.

REVs KRAMER AND wILFONG
Thursday night, October 25th. The meet
ings were not a success, except in the num-
Der that attended to hear their peculiar
doctrine.
REV. W. w. HEBERTON,
of your town, addressed the temperance
meeting in the Presbyterian church, Thurs
day night. The address was well delivered,
and pleased the large audience in attend
ance. A number signed the pledge; some
who had previously violated it determined
to make another start in the good way.
We sympathize with them and wish them
success in their renewed effort.
BURGLARY.
On last Saturday afternoon some sneak
thief entered the Residence of Mr. c. W..
Knight while his daughters were in the
rear part of the house, searched the bed
rooms, and secured 500 so, some gold studs
and other .iewelry, and departed. The
articles were not missd till after tea, when
Mr. VIM. III. Knight, his son, went TO
change his apparel and could not find the
studs. They had a piano tuner arrested
and searched. He was tuning the piano in
the afternoon.
SOME ROwDIES
about 10 o'clock, Saturday night, threw two
stones at the door of Mr.. j. w. Abraham's
store, breaking one pane of glass, but
doing no other damage. The brick castle
of MIR. Cooling in your town should enclose
them till they learn how to behave them
selves.

rendered.
INQUEST.
Tuesday evening Coroner katz was called
to hold an inquest over the body of Mr..
c. H. Mitchell, ON Mr.. j. A. Mackey's
farm. Mitchell, with another man, started
from Mr. Mackey's house to go to Mr..
Thorp's with some small pigs, but having
had the chills, sat down in a field, and when
the other man came back he was dead.
DR.. C. A. Shure made an examination,
found no bruises or cuts and from his ap.
pearance believed he died of apoplexy.
That being the case Mr.. Katz declined
holding an Inquest.
WILL DISCONTINUE BUSINESS.
Mr.. Elliot Brown has concluded to dis
continue his agricultural implement store.
Mr.. Brown is a fine fellow, kept good
articles, at moderate prices, and we think
our farmers will miss his place of business.
IT is RUMORED
through town that Mr.. Theodore Whitaker
has rented the brick building, opposite
Mr.. L. A. c. Gerry's, and at present occu-
pied by Mr.. R. E. Oldham, Drs. N. B.
Smith and J, Haines Mccullough, and will
make the necessary changes for Hotel.

fore Spring.

observation-disclosures is the season of the
year above all others when the system is
liable to get out of order and severe and

The principal cause of nearly all sickness
at this time of the year has it's origin in a
disordered Liver, the largest organ in the
body, which if not Regulated in time, great
suffering, wretchedness and Death will en-
sue a little precaution taken in time in
the shape of a reliable and etficacious Liver
Regulator will i'll most cases prevent illness
and fatal consequences. No medicine in

celebrated medicine Regulates the Liver,

Of that charge having been asking for him
for several years past. 1t is also said that

in New York, and that they have no obec-
ton to going. Mr.. Merritt, of Odessa, it
is said, is to succeed Mr. Stubs at Smyrna,
