FoR CLERK If the Board of County
Commissioners now about to organize wish
cs to secure the services Of An efficient clerk

1t is not always that the towns that are
able to boast of the large public works are
also able to boast of the best times. Today
such towns as Mechanlcsown and Emmits-
burg have reason to be grateful that want
and misery are not staring hundreds of heir
| people in the face, as is the case in Waynes-
bOro and other towns whereof we know,
owing to "A large percentage of there popula-
ton being dependent upon works that have
either closed down entirely or have cut down
working hours to half time or less. The
coming winter has little promise save abjcct
want in such instances, while with us the
working man has no more, no less to look
to than comes to him each unvarying year
it may not bring wea ltL, but with us crying
need is unknown. Let rs remember that
when we are disposed to deplorc our dearth of
manufacturing industries
We commend the following bit of sage
thinking done by the editor of The Emmits,
burg Chronicle: there are u number of per-
SONS who would have you believe that they
are of a literary turn, when in fact and real
ty their reading consists Of picturesque at
liyion as to the purport of the matter before
them.
ave frequently notice that young persons
and others not 50 young, pick up newspa-
pcrs and other reading matter; glance bit
here and there, and then hastily throw them
aside, and this may occur repeatedly In a
day. Such reading is useless, for though 1t
may convey the idea of literary turn, it
really indicates an unsettled mind; q vacuity
in thought, which, if encouraged, must dcs-
troy all taste for such reading as is really
beneficial. To read to a purpose, there
should be sufficient time employed in the
matter, to enable the reader to give an intel
ligent account of the subject gone over. All
reading should be directed to the acquisition
of knowledge for its own sake, and never to
kill time. The more substantial its charac.
ter the surcr the advance. History, Biogra-
