D. D. HORNADAY.

D. D. HOrnaday, who was nominated
for County Superintendent of Public
Instructions, has filled that Office for
four years with credit to himself and
honor to his constituents. The schools of
Dickinson Co. are highly spoken of by
all educators who visit the county and
study our methods of conducting schools.
He has faithfully devoted his entire
time to the duties of his office. 1t is
an important Office to fill, the future of
our countrys intelligence in the great
race for supremacy of intellect, depends
upon the manner in which our schools
are conducted. 1t is trying Office,

Hope Fair.

Last week a representative Of the
REFLECTOR had the pleasure OF attend
ing the Hope Fair, and met with many
agreeable SURPRISES. We were not sur
prised at the royal manner in which We
were entertained by the good people of
Hope and vicinity, this was but a repe-
ton of the past, nor the appearances of
thrift and boom in and about the
city, but the exhibits and general man
agement of the fair was a surprise.
Twelve months ago any one would have
hooted at the idea of a successful
fair at Hope. 1t was only adver-
tised short time, but the fair was a
grand success, and the Originators and
all who took part in getting it up ought
to be well satified and proud of their
work. The display of stock was very
fine. Want of space will not permit us
going into detail to speak of this or
that mans stock, but the display ex-
ceeded any stock exhibit in this county,
and shows the farmers of South Dickin-
son are improving their stock with the
best blood in the country. The grain,
fruit and vegetable display was first
class.
The display of paintings, fancy need
le-work, Sc, by the ladies, was rich and
tasty and spoke volumes for their skill
and accomplishments in all that goes
to make their homes cheerful and at
tractiye.
The races we're conducted with fair
ness and honor, Thursday and Friday
was the big days, nearly three thousand
people being in attendance each day.
John a. Anderson spoke at the fair
grounds Thursday afternoon and Judge
Lowe Friday afternoon. One good
feature about the fair was, there was
no specie of gambling devices on the
grounds or in the city.
The officers performed their duty in
a quiet and gentlemanly manner.
The Daily issued by the Hope Herald
was daisy. The courteSies extended
to the REFLECTOR by the gentiemanly
projectors of the Herald and Dispatch
are appreciated. May Hope and South
Dickinson enjoy many more fairs of
the same nature.

feet October 31st. According to in
structions received by collector Kelly
the special taxes will be reckoned from

but against those who neither sell it
nor offer it for sale, on that day (Sun-
day, October 3lst), the tax will be reck-
oned from November LIST, 1885, if any
sales or offers of sales are made during
that month. Special tax to be paid is
as follows per year: Manufacturers,
$500; wholesale dealers, $3.50; retail
dealers, S4S. The law also requires the

package. All special tax payers must
make returns to collectors before COM

tally cautioned to have stock on hand

SIMON STEIN .

Simon Stein, nominee for COmmiss-
Toner in the Third District, is very
strong nomination. Mr.. Stein came
from Luzerne Co., Pa. The REFLEC-
TOR takes pleasurei in recommending
Mr.. Stein after long years of acquain-
lance, as a gentleman peculiarly fitted
for this very important position, possess
ed with an unblemished character,
well educated and cool headed, he is
the man for the position. He would
award every man his rights and look
well to the interest of the county.
His election would be public good,
his defeat public loss. Politically he
is an independent voter, liberal and
broad in his views. The people will
elect him.

Catholic church last Sabbath morning.
This is one of the largest and most
costly churches in the county. The
congregation is a large one, and services
are held here every two weeks regular
ly.
Quite little excitement has been
started in regard to the number who
are going to run for constable at the
approaching election. Now is the time
for the candidates to put in their work.
The railway petitions were numer-
ously signed here and in this vicinity
during the last week, and then they
were forwarded to the commissioners

Old corn is coming into the elevators
here in considerable large quantities.
The farmers will not carry over any
great amount to another year.
Old Geronimo, the Apache chief and
murderer, would not make a good thing
of it by getting in partnership with GER
tain smart boys here, about ten years
old. They would do the old fellow up
for "cussedneSS" in way he never
dreamed of. They chew, smoke, drink,
swear, stay out at night and are alto
gether too fast for the steady aud quiet

There is said to be several candidates
who will seek the Office of constable at
the fall election. during the last week,
they, or rather a part of them, have
been counting up their friends in order
to ascertain what the chances will be.
That is right.
Our drought seems to continue, and
yet our farmers are putting in their fall
wheat. There will be quite a large a.
cerage.
The COngregationalists have services
every Sabbath at their church.
The Anderson and Wilson men are
heard no more on the streets lately, as
they were in former days. That is,
there is no more of the loud and bois-

the quiet Of our town.

NJ. V. BRILLIANT,

M. Y. Brilliant, candidate for Dis
trict Clerk, is well and favOrably known
in this county as deputy county treas
urer for the last four years,
he has conducted that office in
a most admirable manner. The
duties of the Office Of clerk Of the courts
require man OF quick perception and
one adopted to clerical work, writs are
almost daily issued that require good
judgement and great care, for if not
properly drawn the wheels of justice
are clogged, and heavy losses are apt to
fall on litigants. That Mr.. Brilliant is
well fitted for the office no oas can deny,
his chances for winning are very
promising.
