The soldiers orphan school CON-
mission has decided to accept the
site offered at Scotland, Franklin
county, for the proposed State or
phans' industrial school. George H.
and Alexander Stewart own the farm
of 100 acres on which this institution
is to be located. The Cumberland
Valley railroad passes by the farm.
which is about five miles from Cham
bersburg. The commission will pay
$4,000 for the farm, and the school
building will be built within year,
and when finished will accommodate
about 1000 pupils. The last legisla.
ture appropriated $15O,OOO for the
building of the institution.
The business men say that the
utter disregard which some people
manifest about paying small debts
nowadays is little short of criminal.
z fsople q Y Z. xbe I! , ,l.s have : = steedz income,
fest the least concern in this respect.
Many who owe from 25 cents to S25
are utterly neglectful of the ac-
counts. Business men who accom-
modate them are kept of it when it
could be paid as easily as not. These
sums are insignificant in themselves,
but when aggregated they are CON
siderable and would pay thousands
of dollars of indebtedness if put into
the channel of business.
Peter Knepp, of Bannerville, who
passed away very suddenly Sabbath
afternoon, Nov. 10, aged 60 years, 8
and 16 days, was a man who
was respected by all who knew him.
His sudden departure has caused
quite n shock to the community. In
the morning he participated in the
solemn communion of the Lords
Supper in the st. Paul's Lutheran
After services he drove two
miles to visit his daughter, Mrs.
Henry Krebs, who had been unwell
for some time. He seemed cheerful,
and sat down on rocking chair
when he suddenly threw his head
back and expired. He was laid on a
bed, thinking he might revive, but
the soul had fled to Him who gave
it. He led an exemplary christian
life and ,as a shock of ripe corn, he
was gathered to his fathers. Our loss
is his eternal gain. Y.
1t is said that many young men
who have had the benefit of good
homes forget the instructions of
their childhood when they enter
active life and prove a shame to
those who gave them being. 1t
looks as if this were true, and there
are instanc es, possibly, in which it
actually is, for the old saying is that
there are expectations to all rules.
But the rule stands, nevertheless,
that the boy who has been properly
trained will not depart from. the
right way when he has grown up.
But there is depth of meaning in
the word training which is not al
ways apprehended. 1t means much
more than instruction, good ex-
ample iudicious advice, remon-
STRANGE, severe discipline. 1t means
the continuous and true moulding
Of the young life from the hour of
birth until the character is formed
and the habits of life are fixed. Few
there be among those called to the
high and sacred Office of parent
hood who have an adequate con-
ception of the duties they owe their
children, and this is one reason why
so many go wrong and make a fail
