ANOTHER COUNTY TICKET.-The
Greenback, Labor county committee
met in the Office of Hon. 5. II. Yocum
Bellefonte, the other Friday, and nom .
mated the following ticket:
ASSEMBLY George Alexander, Leon
ard Rhone.
Juy Commissioner ShiVely.
CJrOaer-Dr. J. d. 2. Glenn.
F. P. Musser returned from his
trip to Montana on Saturday. tThe
party of which he was one penetrated
as far west as Billings, the present ter
minus OF. the Northern Pacific rail road.
We understand that they will shortly
make out report for publication OF
observations, and in the mean time we
must all possess ourselves in patience
and not allow the Montana fever to un-
fit us for our work or business while
we are yet here in old Pennsylvania.
You would be surprised to see the
piles Of clothing of all grades and pri-
ces in LewiD'S philadelphia Branch
Clothing House, Bellefonte. But when
you consider that there are about1S.000
men and boys of all ages and sizes in
Centre county that each needs about
two suits every year, you will no long
er wonder where it all goes to. levin
understands the business perfectly.
He knows exactly what farmers, mer-
chants, laboring and professional men
want, and in the line of clothing he is
prepared to suit them all. His prices
are the very lowest that can be found
anywhere. Levin is master of the sit
uation. 2t
AT the coming election our citizens
Of Centre county will have an opportu-
nifty to decide by their votes whether
dogs shall be taxed or not. The law
is intended for the protection of sheep.
The tickets will be laheled on the out
side with the words ''Sheep Law" and
on the inside either For the Sheep
Law'' or against the Sheep Law"
IF the sheep law carries it will go into
effect at once and dogs will then be
taxed, so cents for male and one dol
lar for female, to be collected with
other county taxes.
Next Monday the winter term of
our schools begiiIs and we fondly wish
and hope that it may prove success
full one. The teachers, Mr.. Morrison,
Mr.. E1monds and Miss Strohm have
all passed very creditable examinations
and are we'll quail Fl d for their work.
The board Of directors have been fortu
nate in their selections and have here
in come up to their duty fully, and
now it becomes the plain duty of pa
rents and citizens generally to second
the efforts of teachers and directors by
giving both all the encouragement and
support they can.
The greatest hindering cause to the
fullest ma9sure Of success in our sc hools
is che seemingly utter indifference of
many parents, and consequently Of
many children. 1t is obvious that it is
frequently left entirely to the choice of
pupils, especially the boys, to attend
school or not. They are too often per-
mitted to run the streets and loaf in
stores and shops, when they ought to
be at school. They are not taught and
trained to love and appreciate school
privileges properly, and 1T is a sad fact
that not few grow up to manhood
and womanhood without elementary
education, but oah all the evils of
street education-bad manners and
worse morals.
Parents, if you love your children dc
what you can for their mental and NOR
al culture, Require them to attend
school promptly and regularly, and a.
bove all do not permit them to spend
their evenings from home where you
have no opportunities to oversee their
behavior. Home IS the proper place
for children, especially in the evenings.
Theycan, and will if rightly encour-
aged, spend their time not only profit
ably, but pleasantly, in the preparation
Of lessons, general reading, conversa-
ton and innocent amusemenus.
AS parents we have manifold and re-
sponsible duties to perform, but how
