Mrs. Helen Ridgeway, of Pottsville,

fever.
Messrs. Dust and Kerns are in the
neighborhood soliciting orders for V.
w. Dust & Co.'s nurseries, of Ohio.
Mr.. John Stewart has resigned his

gage in merchandising at this place.
Misses Lille and Carrie Clenden1ng,
who have been visiting relatives in
the west for some time past, returned
home last week, accompanied by their
cousin, Miss Carrie Bushman.
We heard prominent Democrat
say the other day that there was more
solid reading matter in THE HERALD
than in any two county papers he had
seen for long time.
We were informed that Squire
Chas. Stuckey has bought the right to
sell patent fence in Berkeley Coun-
ty, the name of which we have not
learned, but we suppose the Squire
will push it for all it is worth.
Mrs. A. Miller, of State Line. Pa,
who has been visiting her daughter,
Mrs. Chas. Lemen, returned home
Saturday.
A boy by the name Of Fiddler in
riding on the train due here at $3.50,

spent Sunday with Mr.. F. G. Fore

Mr.. Frank Foreman employed
quite number of teams Monday to

Frank is a wide awake young bust

Poor McGinty, after laying beneath
the cold waters of the mighty deep
long enough for the cheap spirits of
ferments to soak out of his beautiful
body, suddenly arises to find some
body has done something without his
knowledge or consent, then grasps his
mighty pen, and with utter disregard
of the truth, appears before the people
in last weeks issue of the Statesman,
first disappearing man of nearly
four score years, then concluding with
a fiattering recommendation of him
self. The latter we have nothing to
say against 1t is right we all enjoy,
only self praise is poor recommended
ton. The former is base misrepre-
sentatiCn of facts, and he would have
the people believe that no ono is al
lowed to do anything in this village
without his consent; but man who
never did anything good for him.
self should not expect others to fol-
low in his foot steps. In order to
build this place up and make it
prosperous town we want more such
public spirited men as J. w. Lemon,
Will and Chas. Lamop, o. B. Lafevre,
G. f. Laise, Geo. 1. Pitzer, and host
of others we could name. Such men
we want, but the less like McGinty
the better we are off.
And now McGinty, before you
make another attempt to appear be-
fore the public in such style, re-
member the promises made in the
little church over the hill, pull the
mote from your own eyes. To help
to pull the mote from brothers. eye
is good wook, but then you should
qualify yourself for it by beginning
with yourself, and by reforming your
own life you may be the means of
reforming others. GEORGE.
