The following bit of intelligence is
going the rounds of the newspapers.
We have not heard of it and cannot
vouch for its authenticacy:
A watch lost by II Snyder county
farmer two years ago was found in
the throat of one of his cows which
choked to death the other morning.
She had found it in straw stack.
Instead OF that COW winding up the
watch the watch wound up the COW.

Congressman Atkinson in common
with other Pennsylvania Congress
men has this TO say ON the question
of Prohibition to be voted upon
June 18th 81 believe that the Pro
hibition amendment will be carried |
in my district by II larger majority |
than the usual Republican majority, |
which is about 400. should not
be surprised to see Il majority of o.
900 for Prohibition. If remember
all the counties in the dis
trict except Snyder gave II majority
for local option. The temperance
sentiment in all the counties is
strong, and the temperance people
are generally in favor of ofProhibition.
They do not think much of the po-
litical ProhibitiOnists, however. The
Third party is not strong in the dis
trict as a seperate organization. The
size of the majority for Prohibition
depends in my district, / think,
largely upon whether the canvass is
by the temperance people
on the Prohibitionists. Two calls
have been issued, one by the Prohi-
bitionists and one by the temperance
people who do not believe in sepa-
rate Prohibitionist party. The tenn
perance party can carry the district
for Prohibition by larger majority
Than can the political Prohibitionists
themselves.
