The public have little appreciation
of the value of we'll conducted news
papers Their offices of beneficence to
the community are so common that
they are unnoted, but none the less, no
town or city can advance without its
newspapers are in the forefront of ad-
vancement. They are the life of the
community. They must lead in every
effort to invite capital, enlarge indust-
ries and enthuse the people in the use
of their advantages.
The local newspaper is the one news
paper that should command the patron
age of the community. If only one
journal can be taken in a family ii
should be the one published at home
There is now little excuse for any per
son of ordinary intelligence not taking
city daily with the local newspapers
since the best can be had for nominal
cost; but there should ever be the
heartiest accord and sympathy between
the local newspaper and the com
munity Philadelphia Times.

In Wednesday mornings Philadel-
phia Press we find the following item
which will greatly amuse people here
abouts. 1t is a beautiful fake from
the brain Of some fly newspaper re-
porter
A strange story comes tonight from
Packerton, where Car Inspector Shaet-
zle has just recovered a packet of lost
money through a "Hexa." Shaetzle
who is well-known along the line of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, received his
monthly pay at dusk, and for safe keep
ing placed the envelope containing il
in his dinner bucket.
Some one stole it, He is a hard
working man, and his lost almost drove
him crazy. When he reached his home
in East Mauch Chunk in the evening
the man was wild with grief. Some one
told him that instead of placing his
case in the hands of detective he
should consult an old Hexa doctor over
in Beaver Run. He did so. Shaetzl.
visited the HeXa doctor, told him Of
his loss, and the latter at once express
ed his ability TO recover the money
Shaetzle relates his experience as fol
lows
"The doctor invited me into his pri
vate office, room eight by ten, with
strong sulphurous smell, filed witt
the most hideous skeletons and appli
ances imaginable. After long anC
earnest examination Of a number o
astronomical and other charts, tn,
doctor gave me three strips of red
white and blue paper on which wa
marked the following inscription, "Noi
Comux di Vindu X NJ CD V Tri Und
ded." One of the stripes l buried un
der the caves of my house, one naile,
to the wall of the Paekerton shops nea
where the dinner bucket stood whel
the money was stolen, and the othe
strip l sewed into the heel of my stock
ing.n
The heXa inscription translated int
plain English means that the thief /
commanded to return the stolen none,
within twelve hours or else he shall al
a horrible death
"Ihis did the business said Shaetze

gy- It was reported that our corpu-
lent friend, Irwin Beers of the For
warding office, had formed a partner
ship with a young lady of tho Lehigh
Valley ; the Office boys we're ready with
congratulations, but it seems now that
the proposed arrangement is not fully
completed but win be in the very near
future.
ca A very large number of Demo
Gratis in this county are under the inn
preston that some very questionable
work was done at the county meeting,
and they are very sure that the treat
ment of the Esser delegates at Harris
burg was undemocratic They we're
entitled to hearing. The decision sa-
vors of snap judgment before sthe
committee met officially. The efforts
to beat Esser thus far are impolitic.
"Fair play and plenty of it, is Demo
cratic-an anything else is Quayism.
sZ- Engine 577, built at Weatherly,
dirt burner, now running on the Le-
high division, with Jesse Romig at the
throttle, is making some noted hauls
of empty coal cars. On Monday she
brought 10l gondolas from Bethlehem
to Packerton. Time, three hours, with
two stops for water. The average
weight of each car is about ten and
one-half tons average length of car is
about thirty-six feet the 1O1 gondolas
equal about 3O3 ordinary cars. This
engine is of the same class as those
built by the different livision master
mechanics.
sz- The present condition of the
Democratic party in the county is not
chaotic by no means. The issue is
clearly defined. Shall the voter be con
trolled in the selection of candidates
by the present leaders, OF shall there
be change? This is the bone of con
tention thus the present situation.
The "ffth term" &c, are side issues in
troduced TO divert and deceive. It is
simply this Shall the Democracy have
leaders, 1--WE believe in leaders, not
drivers) men who are not entirely sell
fish, or shall it be the continuation of
the practice which has brought about
the present division? The fight will be
to finish the voter will decide the
issue. 1t is not whether Clauss or
Esser wins-both are creditable nomi-
nees-but whether "fair play" honest
politics dominates in the Carbon
Democracy. The voters in Carbon are
credited with having good sense, they
ought not, and will not be driven to a
decision. Between now and November
they will make up their minds-not as
to what they owe Cassidy or Esser, but
as to what is right as an individual
and as Democrat. Such abusive
epithets as "bolters," buns" threats of
boycott, personal injury by defamation
of character or loss of position may be
INDUCED in by those who have lost all
self respect and consequently have
none for others, yet the average voter
conscious of the right to his opinion,
which is as good as another's, no better,
will cast his ballot for his choice. There
will be stair play" at the polls. But
whether the party is triumphant in the
county OF not there will be change of
leadership, and that means better
menJ of Carbon Democracy.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

HENS that lay well are neither hun.
cry nor fat.
A SAFE rule is to keep hen as long
as she is profitable.
ALMOST any of the larger breeds are
the best for the table.
AS THE weather becomes warmer be
careful not to crowd the fowls.
TRY to arrange the poultry var dis SC
that the chickens can have the morning
sun.
SUPPLYING plenty of broken crock
eryware will often keep the hens from
pulling feathers.
TURKEYS will thrive better if they
can have the run of good pastures on
well drained soil.
MARK all eggs when set with the date
so that if eggs are laid to them they
can be taken out.
WHEN turkeys are first Matched they
need little feed often rather thar
large feeds occasionally.
CoRNMEAL mixed with sweet milk
and hard boiled eggs chopped up fine
makes an excellent ration for young
turkeys. If well fed from the start, q
turkey should be ready for market by
the time it is seven months old.-St
Louis Republic.
