Drunkenness Is A Crime.

1t is a crime to aid man in committing
a crime. Drunkenness is a crime The man
who sells the liquor aids the man to get
drunk and therefore commits a crime; the
government that grants license or permits
the sale of liquor aids the liquor dealer in
committing a crime and therefore commits
crime itself. The voter who votes for a
man whom he knows will commit crime
by licensing a man to sell liquor, therefore
well. reason it out for yourself

Meet the Issue.

Meet il with the sword of truth,
Meet it with the strength of youth;
smitc ii with the ballot box.
As the lightning smites the rocks.
Meet the mighty issue now:
Lay the lofty giant low:
Match his weapons face his frown.
Bring the great Goliath down.
Let the sad days shortened he,
End the dreadful agony;
Stay nations flowing tears,
Usher in the happier years.
Meet the ssue fair and square
Braver he TO do and dare:
Cavaliers, with martyr blood,
Meet il Gin the truce of God
Hasten We, nor longer wait;
Lo. the foe is at our gate.
And these hours of dread delay
Brook disaster and dismay.
Ie who now are young and strong,
Yours to lead the hosts along:
Guard the citadel of state,
Rout the foe. and conquer fate.
Then from city and from town
Rise and hunt the evil down;
Whip the rum hordes anyhow.
Meet the issue-meet il nOO.

Having for several years past
been engaged with Queen & Co.,
the well-known opticians, of
Philadelphia, and gained a prac-
teal experience in all that per-
tains to the proper adjustment
of spectacles and eye glasses,
shall give special attention to
that branch, of our business.
The time has passed when
people will be satisfied with
glases fitted in a sort of hap
hazard manner. They have
learned that when there is any
defect in that sensitive organ,
the eye, that it should be ex-
amined with the utmost care,
and if glasses are necessary they
should be fitted by a skilled OPP
tician. We are prepared to
meet this demand by giving Gus
toners in every case a thorough
test of each eye on the latest
scientific principles, and give
such glasses that will best cor
rect the optical defect.
If upon examination we find it
best for the customer to see a
physician, we always advise
them to do so, as there are
many complicated cases that re-
quire attention of an oculist.
We take great care that the
frames, as well as the glasses, of
spectacles and eyeglasses fit
properly, as it is impossible to
get the best results from a poor
ly fitted spectacle frame.
The latest Improvement in
style and form of spectacles and
eyeglasses will be added, giving
customers every advantage that
could be obtained in New York
or Philadelphia, Prescriptions
for glasses carefully attended
to.
We have lately added new
machinery for the grinding of
spherical and cylindrical lSnses,
and hereafter will be enabled to
do our own work, and Ihuch
sooner than if we had to serA it
away, and at the same meNat
lower prices than heretofote
for such work.
If your glasses are bent, oh
do not fit comfortably, call, and \
it will give us pleasure to adjust
them.

'.Protection and Respect" for Rum
Selling.


A few days ago an organization of liquor
dealers in this State formulated resolutions
in which they declared that the business in
which they are engaged is Legitimate. and
entitled to the protection and respect of
the community. Long habit doubtless
hlunts perception. The soap-boler cannot
smell the stencil which pervades his works.
The dealer in hides comes to think his
wares sweet and inoffensve: and so it is
possible that those W hose business it is to
sell poison to the public, and who witness
hourly the disastrous effects of their trade
may think this deserving of respect. But
the public can make no such mistake. A
trade which iiourishes upon the ruin of its
supporters, which derives its revenue from
the plunder of homes and from the delraud-
ing of helpless childhood. from the degre-
dation of manhood, which requires for its
prosperity the injury of the community:
which ministers to every vile and vicious
propensity: which makes drunkards,
thieves, and embezzlers gamblers, wife
beaters, and murderers: which brutaliZes
and degrades all who are brought in con-
tact with it-camot claim respect. and as
suredly ought not to be able to claim the
encouragement Of the communty.-N Y

1t is to be regretted the shoe fa;tory
pr oject was not made to go from the start.
Our people looked forward to it as the
starting point of an era of business activi-
ty and prosperity, but we fear the motive
power must now be looked for from some
other source. 1t seems pity that our
town with all its wealth, population and
natural attractions should be outstripped
by It's younger and smaller neighbors.
But it is only a question of time. The
place must come up. 1t is beginning to
feel the restlessness which precedes
awakening and if one project fails another
will succeed, and we expect to see our
pleasant Borough take the place to which
it is entitled among the towns of South
