half of Charley Hover, of Selins
Grove, Snyder County, filed decla-
ration i'll the Dauphin County court
III the suit against the editor of the
TribU"e for libel, alledging that he
has been maliciously hbeled and
damaged as an attorney, to the ex-
tent of $4,000 by the publication of
five articles in the Snyder county
Tribune. This is lofty estimate
of the Trjbunes influence, and is
equal to the par value of all the
printers i'll the county combined
hide and hair.
David Harner, of PaXtonville, one
of the track hands on Mr.. Attick' =

men called look out and Mr.. Har-

position Just III time to see the piece
of timber come down within 80 'uch
of his face. One SECOND delay

Brother j. i. Stoll. formerly edi-
tor of II Republican paper in this
f county, is now editor and proprie-
tor of the South Bend, Indiana,

, that II leopard cannot change his
spots, he occasionally shoots of. un-
consciously, such Republican doe
, trim rs this:
The promise of an early fall should
, encourage business men in South
+, Bend. The prospect of increased
] trade IL made apparent by the fact
e. that very few, if any, laboring men
are IDLE. WOrkingmen are the life
of trade, If they are ut work and
e receiving. fair wages. business is
l good. The reverse is always the
, case when they are idle.

Secretary of the Independent school
district, also resides on the premises

SKEPTIcIsM.-By reason of the state
of chronic incredulity in which many
men pass their lives they miss half
the good of this world. They seem
to think that doubt and unbelief are
proofs of wisdom, and through fear
OF being deceived reject much that is
true and good. To such minds the
statement that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is II real and pro-
ven cure for all disease caused by
torpid liver, and blood or scrofulous
humors carries with it its own con
demnation. They do not believe il.
apparently, because we say so and
yet what more, or less, than this can
we do? We know the facts, and if
we did not make public the preat
value Of this remedy few would pro-
tit byit. We try to do our duty in
the matter and it remains for the
doubter who needs help to overcome
his prejudice and give it trial
