We understand the Jew peddlers

VINO have heretofore canvassed Sny-
der county selling goods, and who
are warned by the merchants pro-
tective association to desist, have
concluded to sell goods until arrest
ed. then quietly yield to the powers
that be, go to Jail, and await results.
Don't be stingy. Don't be mean.
Life is made happy by giving. The
running brook has birds and trees
and flowers on it's banks, and fish in
its bosom. 1t receives, and it gives
in turn. The pool receives but does
not give. Its waters are stagnant,
its banks are bare, its inhabitants
are toads and lizards. The Mig
gardly man hates himself. He is al
ways sorry
THAT man may last, but never lives,
Who much receives and nothing gives
Whom none can love, whom none can THANH

The New Orleans Jubilee Singers
gave an entertainment in Seebold's
Hall on Saturday night to good
house. 1t was one of the most en-
joyable entertainments that we have
had for years. Mrs. Thomas, nee
Tillie Jones. is simply immense,
while Johnson's bassois electrifying.
The balance of the troupe is fully
up to the best Jubilee singers
even equaling Donnavan's famous
Tennesseeans. They also gave a
free sacred concert in the Lutheran
church on Sunday evening to the
usual crowded house that is wit
messed on such occasions.
One day recently special train on
the Sunbury and Lewistown Rail
road attempted to make connections
with train Mt this place, and in or
der to do it unusual fast running of
the train had to be accomplished.
The distance from Selinsgrove to
Lewistown Junction is A miles and
with Superintendent Philips at the
throttle the engine ran to the juno
tion i'll AZ minutes. We have often
noted fast time made by engines on
this road, but this surpassed all
other efforts, and it is considered
very fast time for this route.-Le,r-
