School Picnic,

The Public Schools closed Friday
with a grand picnic. At an early
hour teachers and scholars met at
the school house from thence they
proceeded in body, with heavy
loads of provision, to Barrow's
Camp, about two miles down Mill
Creek. Here were erected swings
hammocks and other places of
amusement and comfort for the
children. Many disported them
selves at fishing while others enjoy
ed games of all kinds. At noon all
partook of the bountiful repast pre-
pared by their own hands. After
dinner the time past very rapidly
and pleasantly until A O'Clock when
the lowering clouds reminded the
party that it was time to repair to
their homes. Some succeeded in
reaching home before the rain, while
others come in quite wet and tired.
All report an excellent time and es-
pecially the younger children were
more than pleased with the excur-
sion.

Farmers Swindled.

An oily-tongued stranger, with a
genteel appearance, and carrying a
fine valise, made his appearance in
Washington and Pine Grove town
ships, Schuyklll county, last week
and swindled probably seventy five
farmers of sums ranging from 81 to
sly.
The stranger declared himself a
man of influence and wealth, and
said he hailed from Reading and
represented a large lottery corpora
ton. They had secured his services
to sell lottery tickets throughout
this section, because of his knowledge
of the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect.
Every purchaser OF a lottery
ticket which was worth 81 would
draw either gold watch, organ, or
something worth more than the
price, and the goods were to be
\
shipped by express to Pine Grove
on Saturday morning.
Last Saturday morning several
farmers inquired at the express OF
flee for goods, and were surprised to
find that they had been duped. The
news spread rapidly, and many farm
ers are greatly excited. Others are
believed to have invested, but are
ashamed to make it known.
The man disappeared on Saturday
as mysteriously as he had come. 1t
is estimated he secured about $500,
about $3.50 of which he obtained in
a Dunkard settlement. Some OF
the swindled farmers are noted for
their stinginess, and none it is said,
read newspaper.

The Loafer.

An exchange says in the begin
ming God created the heavens and
the earth and all things therein. He
then created man and woman and
left the loafers on the corners, and
in due time they multiplied and
spread into the postotlices, the de-
pots and the stores. In the latter
place they sit and explain state and
national problems that have vexed
great minds, and exists partially by
sampling goods. While he is thus
engaged his wife is out washing for
her neighbors, and the poor help.
less children are left at home to
care for themselves as best they can.
There is nothing more noticeable
than loafer.

A Wrong Practice.


1t seems decidedly strange that so
little respect seems to be entertain
ed for Memorial Day in may places.
In fact it would seem that many
people do not understand what its
name implies and regard it the same
as the 4th of July-a day for gener>
al iolifcation and carousing. This
is far from correct. Memorial Day
is a sacred day and was not fixed as
holiday for general jubilation. 1t
was set apart for memorial services
to the memory of the heroic dead
who braved the horrors and terrors
of grim war in defence of the grand
old fag-the Stars and Stripes-that
liberty, freedom and this glorious
Union might survive the shafts of
treason. 1t is day set apart for
solemn, patriotic meditations-for
paying tribute to the memory of the
brave "boys in blue" who SO patrioti-
cally gave up their lives that the
Nation might live. 1t is the day
set apart for plucking springs
brightest and freshest flowers with
which to decorate the graves of
those who sacrificed their lives i'll
behalf of their country's cause. And
vet there are those who claim to be
loyal citizens-loyal to the flag, to
the country and to its free institu-
tions-who disregard the intents
and purposes for which this sacred
day was set apart and engage in
races, games of chance, public sports
etc. Let the G. A. r. Posts, the
ministers of the churches, the press
and all patriotic men and women
demand that the sacred day be
properly observed-not as day of
iolification and drunken debauchery,
but as day of patriotic devotion in
paying loving tribute to the memory
of the heroic dead.
