OF helping their mother in house |
hold duties If there is couven-
lent place for some of them to slip
into the opportunity is generally
embraced. The lady who can stand
over the washtub or with broom in
her hand in defiance of her best fel.
low is the one that will make good
companion through life.
Yesterday bevy of young ladies
from town, accompanied 10y several
gentlemen, accepted an invitation
from Mrs. NJ, |. Potter to participate
in q fishing party ut Selinsgroye,
and about 81 o'clock in the morning
they rugged up Il big two.horso wag-
on with the ladders filed with straw
and started on their ten-mile Iaunt
to the historic waters of the Sus-
quehanna. They anticipated an inn
mense catch, and contracted for
several barrels of iish-subiect to
delivery on their return home.
Within the last two weeks Kraft
erville has lost two of its most es-
teemed and valued citizens. We re-
fer to Benjamin Herman, who died
Wednesday of last week agedG Gi, and
]. q. Ulrich who died the week be-
fore, and whose death was record
ed in the PosT. They were both
men of that substantial type who
make tho world better for being in
it, and the PosT realizes that it has
lost two very warm friends and stall
wart supporters. Peace to their
ashes /,
M. %. fSteininger, j. w. Swartz
and ,is sF "cboads, ACCOMPANIED by
'tsSif IS5Ster liaiyes, wni ieaye on
Friday to attend the Penn'a p. o.
S. of A. Convention in session mt
Chester, Pa, on the odd, 23d, and
2ith of August. The two first
named gentlemen are delegates to
the convention, and Mr.. Rhoads is
a candidate for delegate to the Ma
tional Convention at Chicago in
September. They also expect to
visit Cape May before they return
home.
A western exchange remarks that
it has subscriber that insists on
paying years subscription every
time he gets drunk. He has already
paid his paper in advance, up to 1910.
IL he will inform us what brand of
whiskey he drinks, we will make an
effort to have it placed within the
reach of few Of our chronic non
payers, but unless the price is very
moderate we are afraid we will be
unable to test it, for it seems to us it
would take at least n barrel to make
some of our chronics get their AZ
reages squared up, not to speak of
making advance payments.
NJ. u. Steininger has suddenly
sprung into notoriety as an expert
trap shot. A few weeks ago he
knocked eight select shots from
Union, Snyder, and Northumberland
counties silly by taking first money
at Lewisburg live pigeon match by
killing six straight, and last Thurs
day at another match in Lewisburg
he defeated Mr.. TroXel of Montan-
don, Northumberland Count V s
crack shot, killing IL out of 10 birds
against Troxell's seven. And later
in the day won a sweep-stake match
over seven other noted shots, killing
eight out of n possible ten pigeons
and pocketed n Sl4 purse.
The second day of September will
be the last day on which voters can
be registered and assessed under
the new law. 1t is therefore impor-
tant to all who claim the right to
vote at The coming November elec-
tion to look over the registry book
which is conspicuously exposed at
all the polling places of the various
wards and precincts in the county.
Voters who have been ia the state
one year and sixty days in the ward
prior to November A are entitled TO
vote. The assessors of the wards
and precincts will, upon application
of any male citizen twenty-one years
OF age and over, properly register
and assess such applicants if in his
judgement the applicants are quail
fed voters.
