The state liquor league adjourned at Pitts
burg, July Is, to meet in Scranton on the
second Tuesday in July, 1887. The platform
declares that liquor men have right to pro-
lection as we'll as any other business men Of
the state; that league will give its adher-
euce to the men and measures that aid in
carrying out its principles. The action Ia
ken at Reading declaring against an amend
ment to the constitution which would pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale of liquor is
reaffirmed. "Like all other men," says the
platform, ''we believe in temp erance in all
things. We are opposed TO intoxication, but
we believe the moderate use Of liquor is
Beneficial"
Judge Noah A. Elder died last Thursday
afternoon about O'Clock, after an illness
ca used by getting wet, in rain, on his farm
some weeks ago. The first effect of the
wetting was a severe cold, which termina-
ted in congestion of the right lung. He was
born in Franklin county in 1914, and came
to this town in 1917; he has lived here
continuously ever since the last named date
II e was a good citizen. His influence was
always found in the better side of society,
and in his death the community loses one
OF a class of men that are too scarce in ev-
cry town and county. Interment in the
Presbyterian graveyard on Saturday after
noon.
On the 18th inst, ga frightful accident
befel David Auker, who lives along the road
between Thompsontown and Millerstown.
He was engaged moving grass with ma
cbS rrba ,,rfo of fha
of the horses, became disarranged, and in
order to fix it, he walked out on the tongue
of the machine between the horses. While
in that position the team took fright and ran
away, throwing him in front of the sickel bar.
He was rolled along in front of the guards
for some distance, receiving numerous
bruises, and, in trying to extricate himself
from his perilous situation, his left hand
was caught in the knives and so badly lace
rated that smputation above the wrist was
necessary. When last heard from g was
doing well."
That people love out door recreation is
manifest by the various ways that they take
TO get day from labor. The numerous
parties that take place ia the woods attest
the love for out door living. There are pic
MICS and meetings without numbers. Three
or four young men with their best girls will
hold picnic. A Sunday-school teacher
with his or her class will hold picnic. The
whole Sunday school will hold a picnic.
Then there are family picnics, and picnics
that are picked with the object Of getting
people who think they believe alike on some
social hobby or religious phase Then comes
the broader picnics to which everybody is
invited, and enjoined TO be happy. The
harvest home TO give thanks and Ef.ise Tor
the bounties of Providence. Amid all these
numerous phsses of picnicing one should be
able to find some one or more that is con-
genial to their picnic taste, if they have
taste of that kind. There are, however,
people who have no picnic inclinatlons and
they seem to find a meas ure of happiness as
full as the most ardent picnicer. 1t is good
thing that people are not all alike
in their faster and desires. There is no &C
counting for the difference in taste as the fel-
low said when he put a skunk in his pock-
ct.
