To The Standard
Mrs. French of Knoxville, in her
visit to our city, has by her earnest
talk, infused new life into the men,
bers of the w. G. Il. U. Mrs. French
said many good things in her lee
lures, her statement Sunday after
noon at the NJ. E. Church, that "God
told man to till the soil, but that be-
tween the Woman and Satin there
was to be Enmity." This enmity
is indeed seen in the opposition these
good women are everywhere meet
ing with to down the works of Satin,

give these earnest women a hearty
God speed in their work, and let all

port the capital and credit of the
business community. About one
publisher in ten tells his exact issue
with truthful precision. Some of the
other nine decline to tell the facts be-
cause they assert that those who do
tell are in the habit of lying. Rowell
d Co., after an experience of more
than twenty years, have come to the
conclusion that this view cannot be
sustained. In the twenty-third an
nual issue Of their book; issued in
April, they designate every paper
that is rated in accordance with de-
tailed statement from the publisher;
and offer to pay hundred dollars for
every instance which can be pointed
out of misstatement for which a
publisher is responsible. The SOUTH
ERN STANDARD is one of the papers
that is willing to have it known how
many it prints and whose good faith
the Directory publishers Will guaran-
tee.
Messrs Rowell & Co., further says
it is a fact that only one paper in
nineteen has furnished such a
straight-out statement of circulation
as the STANDARD.

Certainly Gratifying.

Sparta Expositor.
The gratifying news is in the air
that an exclusive passenger train
will be run on our road, commence
ing the first of June. The two trains
now on the road are not sufficient to
accommodate the largely increasing
freight trafic. Engineer Burke pulled
an extra out Saturday evening as is
often the case. We learn from depot
Asst Clark that over fifty loaded
cars came in and went out from the
yard on Saturday. This speaks well
for this section and means some
thing. We hope to see the passenger
train on, and faster schedule, as the
clever officials of the system are not
deaf to the wants of the people along
the route.

LENGTHY LAWSUIT.

A long, tedious but very important
law suit has been dragging itself along
through the common pleas court Of
Schuylkill county since December 8
last year and the end is not in sight.
The case involves the title of TO-,
acres of coal land situate in Union
township, Schuylkill county. The
plaintiffs are James J. Dull, Daniel
Shepp and O. II. Sillman. They are
seeking to recover the tract above re-
ferred to which is now in the possession
of Eckley B. Coke and others, and the
proceedings are in ejectment. The
questions involved are the location Of
surveys and the division of tracts.
The surveys in dispute were made
years ago, and much time and labor
have been expended in researches by
the attorneys interested And there
is brilliant array of legal talent on
both sides. John w. Ryon, James
Ryon, Casper Dull and George w.
Ryon, jr., of Pottsville, and Judge
Orvis of Bellefonte represent the
plaintiffs. The defendants are repre-
sented by Samuel H. Kaercher Esq,
and Congressman elect Wolverton of
this county. The case was opened
for the plaintiffs on December 8, and
their testimony is not all in. The de-
fense will consume some time in Civ
ing in its evidence, after which will
come the summing up by the counsel
and the charge of the court, SO it is
hardly probable that a verdict will be
reached before some time in March.
After the costs and counsel fees are
paid how much of the value of the
land will be left ?--Dispatch.
Samuel Neyhard is witness in this
case, and has been in attendance at
court in Pottsville for the past ten
weeks, coming home over Sunday.
