The Defiance (Ohio) Democrat
says that n number of farmers in
that county are in hot water and are
keeping the dust stirred up be-
tween their homes and the different
banks of the vicinity watching for
the notes they have signed in the
past few weeks for strangers" The
gag this time is grain bags at five
cents apiece, which were to have
been delivered some time ago, but
have not been seen or heard from.
City, county, borough and town
ship school officers should not lose
sight of the fact that under recent
act of the Legislature, no tax levied
by them can remain lien on real
estate longer than two years from
the time of the assessment, unless
the same is recorded in the prothon-
otarys Office, and no lien SO entered
shall remain lien for a longer
term than five years, unless the
same is revived and continued by a
writ of acire facias within the said
period and duly prosecuted to judg-
ment.

The directory of Johnstown has
just been published by c. B. Clarke
Of Altoona. At the time of the flood
the whole edition, which was in a
book bindery, was lost. From the
proof sheets, however, the names
We're obtained, and are now printed
as they were before the flood, as
well rs special record of those who
were lost. The number of drowned
is put at $500, and that is consider
ed close estimate, it being impos-
sible to obtain the exact figures.
One of the things noted is, that of
the ninety-fve saloons and liquor
dealers in the flooded district, all
but six were completely wiped out,
and in those remaining the stock
was destroyed.
The world will forgive u man for
anything but for failure. A little
over Il year ago we enlarged the
PosT to As colum paper with the
hope of running our circulation up
TO 1000. 1t was accomplished in
side of nine months, and now we
hang up list for public inspection
with eleven hundred and GJty bona
fed subscribers. We can further
say that there is scarcely n family in
Snyder county that is not a subscri-
ber or borrower of the Posi- on
this oath day of October, A. d. 1889.
We therefore realize that we have
not made failure of the PosT. The
advantages of such a circulation (al-
most entirely confined to Snyder
county, will ut once be recognized
by advertisers for the sale of mer-
chandise, real and personal prop
erty, and we hope to see them take
advantage of it and compel us to
add eight more columns to the sheet.
