dates for offices this fall. 1t has one Tor
Treasurer and two for Commissioner. MIR.
Andrew Graver, a very suitable person, has
announced himself for Comm ssioner, as has
MIR. John Arner, ,Sr. MIR. Arner has been Il so
lie long Democrat, earnestly advocating
Democratic doctrines and principles. He
has all the qualification required for the
duties the office and If elected would not
be a mere figurehead as is so often the case

-We are informed that the weissport
school board has appointed Miss Alien, OF
Stockton, Pa, as teacher of the primary
school at this place. Why the board has
gone outside Of the county to make n selec-
tion when there are a number Of aplta, per-
sons in our miast who were applicants for the
same is not exactly explainable to our clti-
Gems, We believe in giving home talent the
preference at all times ifit is as good and eff
ficient as can be had at any other place for
the same money. Let the board arise and
render an explanation. This is the best
means Of satisfying the dissatisfied.

to make some move for some tangible organ
iIation. Where is our County Committee OF
what has become Of our leading, that is older
Democrats. Aswe understand a ''rutznaus'
need not be forwarding. Mr. Thomas F.
Arner would be good man to put At the head
OF a club.
