THE CITIZEN
THE COUNTRY ROAD.


The pathway Of life may be narrow and steep;
But the road through the country is sleeper.
The pitfalls and srares that beset us are oecp;
But the mud that surrounds US is deeper.
There are fence rails for bridges and mud holes
for drains,
And hard heads and powders for gravel;
And broken down orggies, on hillside and
plains,
Give warnings, Ike ghosts, as We travel
1.ank horses, By work and abuse broken down.
Gaze CT Us from road side and stable,
Young men reaching vistfully out toward the
town,
Or seeking It's portals when able
Deserted farm houses; the fences decsyed,
And the breezes through weed patches blow
ing.
Where once happy children rstOiced' as they
played
Hide and seek, where the feld corn was grow
ing
What Joy for the youth, as his longings expand,
In life so restricted and narrow;
HIS prospect, mid all opportunities grand,
But to follow the plow and the harrow.
Half oanisAed from hope. and shut out of the
world,
By fimsy but tangible curtain;
Society's pleasures away from him buried
The roads are 80 very uncertain"
There's little enjoyment in life scattered
round
And little Of profit or pleasure,
IN roads where the bottom can scarcely be
found
With less than o seven-foct measure.
Let US seek some reform then, at once, e'er
we lose
All trace OF our roads from our annals;
And make surface roadI that the public can
use,
Or else take the underground channels

The Corner Post Should Be Planted nt

Many wire fences have tall and large
corner posts with braces reaching to
their tops When the wire Of such a
fence is drawn taut, the tall corner post
will be lifted up on its steep braces
This lifting process is sometimes ag-
gravated by wire stretched from the
bottom of the corner post to the top OF
the nearest fence post To keep such

a heavy log. or It is weighted down by

A COLT, calf or pig grows more rap
Idly when very young than Mt any

be secured at less cost at the early age.
For that reason all young stock should

Hereafter will be doing business un-

Geo. w alter IL Sons.
We can say to our patrons that the
grinding done by us will be in the
best manner that good machinery
and practical milling can do il. IA we
have in our employ one of the best
practical millers in the State OF Penn
svlvania. We can say without
fear Of contradiction that we are
turning out the best straight grade Of
wheat -four in the county. We
think il an advantage to the farmer
to ret his grinding done ut our mill
for these reasons:
FIRST-We make as good wheat
flour as can be manufactured. and
the farmers get the same flour IN
exchange IA the millionaire
would, were we blessed with
them in this neighborbood.
SECOND-We can do your chop
ping for you, 20 that you are not
compelled to sell your grain nt
low prices and buy your chop
THIRD-Wo can make the best
bnckwheat -four ever maDufGe-
tured in the county, az We have

new machinery for same. and it

FOURTH-We can make you rye
-four II you desire IL. Our rye
-four always brings the highest
price in Piitsburg. &c.
FIFTH-We make a. good a corn

SIXTH-Our Graham -four cannot
be excelled. We manufacture
every article that il in our line
of business, and with the latest
improved machinery, and best
practical Hkill.
The farmer will readily see that Il
is more profitable 10 him TO patroniZe
a mill where he can get all his differ
ent kinds Of grain ground than 10 sell
Lis grain aud buy bis -four and feed
We don't believe in mI-representing
goods to the public. therefore do not
cut the same kind of -four 10 four or
five different brands Of sacks. We
make straight grade Of -four. The
brand is WHITE ROSE, the same
as given 70 the farmer in exchange.
We also make the IONA PATENT,
which is "a high grade Of -four and
stands with the best patents ~ the
market IL ia manufactured out OF
red winter wheat, blended with the
best brand of Minnesota patent which
gives il a superior quality. These
brands of -four and all kinds Of mill
feed sold by us at the lowest prices.
We are also in the market for wheat,
rye aud buck heat and will pay the
highest prices for the same.

grounds, Chicago, on September IA, is and 1G.
The following we've present: President Howard
Perry. F. K Stearns, ". b. Curtis, A. G. Mills,
J. E. Sullivan and A. q. Spalding.
The first days program is made up of hsndi-
cap athletic, track and iield games. The second
day will be devoted to team contests, and to
the third day the worlds fair championship,
amateur athletic track and field events. with
twenty-five separate competitions, will be dis
posed of.
W. L. Curtis, Howard Perry and ]. E. Sulli-
van were appointed an executive committee to
send Invitations to amateur athletic clubs in
Europe. Australia and America.
The meeting did not terminate until an early
hour yesterday morning. The most important
business transacted during the closing minutes
of the meeting was the adoption OF u rule re-
ferring to the reinstatement Of professionals.
The new rule reads as follows:
NO person shall be reinstated as an amateur
who becomes professional after February IS,
1898. and application for reinstatement by per-
sons who became professionals before that time
shall be received and acted upon only by the
board Of governors of the A. A. u

Probably 100 more members were dis
tributed through bowling and billiard rooms
and in the cafe. but the dolcful changing Of
bell In the hand Of an attendant, telling them a
meeting was in progress. did not serve to stir
them from their engagement Of temporary
pastimes and pleasures. The attendants at the
club seemed to take q deeper interest in the
proceedings than did some Of the members.
The threat OF Andrew Freedman. the receiver,
to close up the club house Sunday night did
not seem to bother the members in the in
different class, one of them saying: "Oh. we
will buy in the club house when it is put M at
anction. as was done in the case Of the Staten
Island Athletic Club few weeks ago"
Andrew Freedman, the receiver, when seen
said: The time for good fellowship and prom
ises has passed, and money is the only thing
which will do now. The tradesmen creditors
OF the club have shown disposition to do what
they can, but money is needed to pay otaers
ana 1t must be raised at once. Interest on
bonds, notes and the salaries of the help must
be paid. We have got to that point where
money talks. SO to speak The Manhattans
have magnificent clab house and organize
ton. and it is u pity to see such an institution
go to the wall, but if the members won't help
their club it will have to CO."
Benjamin 5. Harmon was the chairman of
the meeting. About 1000 additional WAS SUBJ
scribed, bringing the total to S165, 900. One
wealthy member offered to be one of a syndi-
cate to purchase the club house in case the
building is sold at auction. Another member
said that soon a. $4,000 had been sub
scribed lie would add the other 500, 600 HIM
self
The club house was formally closed last
night and the building will be sold at public
auction within the next six weeks, unless the
members como to the rescue with better hnan-
cial results
