The seventeen-year locusts have
made their appearance by the hun
dred thousands. The trees in the
woods are covered with them, but
the cold, rainy weather has kept
them this far from starting up their
melancholy music. The creek is
covered with the critters and the
fish are gorging themselves on them,
which means rod and line fishing no
good.
IL should be n source OF qualification
to every Republican to know that
Congressman Atkinson does not
propose recommending the appoint
ment of any individual to an Office
who uses liquor to excess or would
in any way reflect discredit upon the
party This expressed resolve will
meet with applause from all citizens
irrespective Of party, and be n guar
antee that personal decency and cor
rectness of habits are not without a
premium. .-Le,oisburg Local Neps.
There are several important pro-
visions in the new law for the pro-
lection of shad and game fish which
was signed by Gov. Beaver recently.
One section, the fifth, is of special
interest to the occasional angler.
and permits him to catch black bass
on Decoration Day, the close season
being now between January and
May 80. The new law also gives
wardens the right to destroy fish
dams, baskets, etc, and authorizes
them to arrest parties guilty of vio-
lation of the law on sight. Hereto
fore warrant was necessary and
many offenders thus escaped.
To THE PUBLIc.-On the 9th of
May, 1889, / took out policy in the
Continental Insurance Co, at the
agency of VIM. II. Snyder, of Sc
linsgrove, insuring my brick build
ing against loss and damage from
tornados. On the 10th of May, my
building was damaged by the Sc
we're storm of that day, and on the
18th of the same month the company
satisfactorily settled and paid the
amount of damage sustained. am
satisfied that such insurance is of
great value. / would advise my
friends to call upon VIM. III. Snyder
for Il policy.

The local press is too often under
rated in the consideration Of the
forces that work for the progress of
the human race. 1t enters more
closely into the lives of the people
than any other form of journalism.
1t stimulates and encourages local
progress-which is the unit Of gen
eral advance-and works in hundreds
of ways for the benefit of the villages
and towns that are the hope and sal
yation of the nation. The quality of
the local press, its changes and ad-
vances are therefore noticed by us
with more interest than we can al
ways express i'll words and at length.
