work namely, that of insurance agent

in Clinton county for the last three monthe,
looking after the numbering interests Of
Marsh & zern, spent Sunday with his
family.
WIN, NJ. Meredith, an estimable friend
and honorable gentleman of Reading, was
visiting friends here during tho week.
Friend Will is always a welcome visitor.
The other evening, while friend was
taking a walk along the canal, he was al
most frightened to death by a terrible crash
At first he thought COW might have been
SO unfortunate as to fall over the gripping
into the canal, so he concluded he would
wait and see what the outcome would be.
lie did not have to wait very long, for a
few minutes later he heard fearful kicking
aud splashng accompanied by the following
exclarnations and calculations "My God,
help or I'll drown |" "For heayen's sake
save me /" ctr. In order to extend help

The Fourth ol July is fas, approaching
aud as yet we have heard of no arrange
menis as to its proper celebration. Why
should Weissport not haye some fItnJ
demonstration for this ever recurring lega
aud patriotic holiday? Why not have
public meeting to lully commemorate tn,
birth ofthat second evangelism, The Declar
alton of Independence. The boon of ou
rights, the glorifcation of our greatness
Have we not Snyder, a Mooney, Weis
and Yeakel who could enthus and instruc
the populace in an adequate manner, b.
eloquenoe, words Of wisdom and the recap
itulation Of the pastl Have we not loca
poetess who could immortalize the time an
occasion in a rbymic shakesperean man
ner? All these essentials Weissport has, an
yet nobody TO give proper expression TO th
behiting occasion. BY all means let tn
local talent have a chance; 50 that this holi
day be not another humdrum.
