Peter OVerp,yer,

This aged and hnnored old gentleman 10
the Oldest Of our old pioners. He came
to this county in the year of 1902. He is
an exception to men of his age. His mind
and ideas are as bright as they ever were
and it is astonishing what a memory he
has. Mr.. 0vermyer remembers distinctly
every thing Of importance Of the early his
tory Of the county. He is thoroughly
ver.ed in the politics of the nation. and il
Is astonishing to hear him giving the
dates of events that transpired fifty and
sixty years ago. He is Democrat of the
old school and has never faltered from its
teachings. No purer or honester man evel
brsathed the breath of life. Az the old
veteran walked from our Office last Satur
day, it seemed as though it was almost al
impossibility for q maD of his age to b,
possessed with such an intellectual brigh
memory The good deeds and pure char
actes of this man will last in the minds O
the people as long as there is PER-,
county. No one knows him but to homo
him. May he enjoy many years Of hap
piness in our prosperous county. for whicl

On, the day of General Grants resep.
tian in Philadelphia. Mr.. Sala, an English
Journalist, had his first experieno with an
American crowd. He speks as follows in
regard to the behaviour of the crowd:
mingled with the mob and aaw the
show in the midst of what we term in En-
glish the bowling multitude. never was
so impressed before with the good nature
and aimubility OF an American crowd.
l have never seen anything to compare
with it. The Difference and respect shown
the ladies by the masculine portion of the
throng surprised me. failed to note one
single instance of uncourtecus, unchival
ric treatment.
Now that's much different style O
doing business to what We are accustomed
to in England. Take, for instance, tn
mob we have in London the 9th of eyre,
March on the lord mayors day.
The lower class always make it poin
to turn the festival into an inferno, an
trample upon every one they meet.
Many of them deliberately arm them
selves with squirt-guns full of dirty watel
and discharge the contents on the back O
every we'll dressed lady they come in cor
tact with.
The weapon is playfully called the "l'
dy's tormen lor."
From what ] saw yesterday, if vulga
rufian were to perpstrate such an outrae
on lady in an American crowd, he'd ha,
been severely handled by the law.

made upon honor, and will outlast any
three pairs of other rubber boots. The
manufacturers warrant them for three
months, the date of the selling Of each pair
being punched in the top Of the leg. The
