that section are investing their money 10
Southern enterprises by the million, with

If the professional politician woul either
be quiet or have au occasional interval of

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
HARRISBURG Dec. 17.-Judge Simon
ton held q term of court to-day for the dis
position of State cases. The first one called
was that of the Commonwealth against the
Salina and Lstonia Turnpiks Company, q
corporation maintaining a turnpike road
from Oil City to Salina in Venango county.
The State claimed that by failure to keep
the road in proper order. the company has
forfeited its corporate franchises. Several
afidavits were read of citizens of Venango
county, as to the condition of the roads, one
of them alleging that the mud in the turn
pike was two feet deep and the rocks at the
bottom of the mud were so big that any per-
son driving over the road was in danger of
his life.
As counsel for the Commonwealth was
apparently about to read a voluminous mass
of testimony the attorney for the company
cut the matter short by saying that while
Its officers believed that they had q good de-
fense and could show that the facts were not
as charged in the complaint, nevertheless
the expense of maintaining the turnpike was
SO great and the. value of the corporate
franchises so small, that the company had
concluded to let it 90 rather than be at the
expense of producing witnesses, whereupon
Judge Simonton directed the jury to render
a verdict in favor of the Commonwealth.

THE aRocERs ANNUAL RECEPTION.

Addresses, Music, Dancing and q Banquet
Form Pleasing Features.
What cared they for the weather-the
members of the Retail Grocers' Association
of Pittsburg-evidently nothing, for they
were out in force at the annual reception
and banquet given last evening in Turner
Hall, Forbes street, and . genuinely good
time was the result of the gathering.
At the close of the grand march at
o'clock Hon. h. I. Gourley delivered the
address of welcome in his usual masterful
style, and Mr.. Percy F. Smith, in 8 re-
sponse, proclaimed himself, more thor
oughly than ever, ga frst-class, of-hand
talker." The Royal Italian Band, with
Colonel McMichaels as prompter, then oc-
cupied the time, and the happy dancers the
floor. Mr.. J. G. O'Donnel oficiated as
master of ceremony.
The Reception Committee consisted OF
large number of gentlemen prominent in
the business circles of the city, and the Com
mittee of Arrangements embraced the fol
lowing names: Messrs. j. G. O'Donnell,
H. Daub, j. II. Friday, W. o. Willett, b.

A SUCCESSFUL CONCERT.

The Cathedral Band Scores Decided Sue
cess at Lafayette Hall.
The popularity of the Cathedral Band
was fully demonstrated by the audience that
greeted their appearance in concert last
evening at Lafayette Hall.
The grand march "De Paris" BY Benvist,
opened the programme in very stirring
manner, and an overture, Morning, Noon
and Night in Vienna" followed. Miss
Grace Miller won hearty applause by her
rendering of "Onlv One More" by Nor,
and Mr.. Thomas f. Welsh, in a cornet solo,
-'Lizzee Polka" by Robinson, was very
acceptable performer. The familiar "Old
Black joe" by Geadle, was piano solo
that, under Miss Lillian Red
dicks skillful fugers, was very
enjoyable. The band. in selections
from "Ernani," by Verdi, and potpourri,
"A Night in Berlin" ny Hartman, were
greeted with decided appreciation, mani
tested in the usual manner. In waiting" T"
BY Malarey, Miss Reddick scored second
triumph, as did Miss Miller in "Lit-
tie Margaret" Other numbers were
equally as pleasing, and Prof. ]. Rohr as
director of the band and concert was deluged
with congratulations. A dance followed

A Noteworthy Exception.
E Kimball Is. ID. ) Graphic.

From the Kimball Is. d. Graphic.
While the columns of the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionable adver-
tisements, yet it is quite impossible for us
to speak knowingly of the merits of the va
rious articles of merchandise advertised.
Particularly is this true of patent medicines.
But there are exceptions occasionally and a
noteworthy exception is the celebrated
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This now
universally known medicine has been ad-
vertised in the Graphic for four or five
years, but not until recently had we any per-
sonal knowledge of its wonderful efficacy,
which has come about through the prevail
ing influenza and the stubborn cough that
has so often attended it. In the writer's
family this medicine has on several occa-
sions this winter cured cough that baf1 ed
any and all other remedies, and the number
of families in Kimball and vicinity in which
this remedy has been used with like effects
attests to its value as specific for coughs
and colds of every nature. Thsu

Flowers and Music Form a Pleasant Con-
trast to the Storm Without
A great many ladies wondered yesterday
afternoon whether they should brave the
storm and attend the reception rendered by
Mrs. John L. George, of North avenue,
Allegheny, or remain at home. Some chose
The latter alternative and bemoaned the in
clemency Of the weather; others went to the
reception and congratulated themselves
upon 50 doing.
The home was beautifully decorated with
fresh and fragrant cut flowers that gave a
June-like effect, in striking contrast with
the unpleasant outside. Soft, low music,
occasionally swelling into perfect burst of
melody, added greatly to the charm of the
event, ana successful catering completed
the superb appointments.
The reception was given in honor of Mrs,
Archibald Love George, a daughter-in-law
of the hostess, recently married in Cleye-
land.

Colored men, we are on trial
and must be careful as to how we
conduct ourselves.
DO not engage in a senseless
wrangle when there is nothing to
be gained by so doing save bad

friend.
Be as good natured as possible,
and bear with an Objectionable
character to the extent of treating
him politely even though it be by
an effort that you so do.
In politics vote your sentiments,
and if questioned about if, give
your reasons for so doing if you
see fit, and 60 on about your bust
ness, leaving the fools to debate
among themselves as to the expe
dieRcy of your course.
Do not use indecent or profane
language. 1t shows i'll breeding
and serves to deteriorate the race
in the eyes Of the world.
Unfortunately one wrong act of
ours is magnified and the right
ones belittled. So as this condition
exists, we must be careful.
Cultivate reliability. Without
it we will be weighed in the
balance and found sadly wanting.
Get plenty OF religion, but increase
the quantity only as you increase
the practice OF It's teachings.
Discountenance the preaching
of sermons from whiskey kep
when the contents of the keg are in
the unlicensed preacher.
1t serves to bring our religion
into disrepute and retards oul
efforts in securing converts.
