Another illustration of the old proverb that
a a"lie travels faster than the TRUTH" is furn-
ished in the fact that our exchanges are still
printing the notice that CHAs. REED, young
gentleman who was quite active in the Mur-
ply movement hereabouts several years ago
had been arrested in Kansas City charged
with robbery. The Elmira Advertiser stated
several days ago, on the authority of o reliable
gentleman of that city who had just returned
from Kansas City. that Mr.. REED was
clearly proven to be entirely innocent of the
charge. But the world likes to keep man
down.

ERs.-Every owner of real estate ought to
know that the laws of Pennsylvania provide
that all deeds and conveyances made but not
recorded within six months thereafter shall
be adjudged fraudulent and void against any
subsequent purchaser or mortgages for valu-
able consideration. The county records are
the only proof Of good title.

The following item from the Tunkhannock
Standard will interest many of our readers
Rev. S. L. Conde informs us that he will
run three excursions frem this point to the
sea coast during the coming season. Mr..
Conde rs an excursion manager is success.
He with his aides-de-camp will get up and
run an excursion and give better satisfaction
than any other man in this section of the
country. We predict that the eXchequer of
the Presbyterian church at this place will be
in flourishing condition at the end Of the
season.
