Ye Editor.

My dear reader have you ever,
stopped to think when you are criti-
cizing the editor that he is man in
some instance like other people. He
usually tries to do his best, yet his
ways may not be your ways. He
respects his contemporaries your
kindness and n good word. You
have always found him ready to re-
turn favor, oftentimes returning
good for evil. He will not always
continue to pat man on the back
and proclaim what a good and prom
inent citizen he is, how much he has
done for the people about him. He
does not feel like putting u man who
is snarling and biting at his paper
every chance he gets. You will al.
ways see him stand by a man who
stands by him. You will see the man
who always hangs back and never
makes start for himself kick when
the editor, in the good Fellowship
feeling, puffs some fellow who has
been working for the good of the
people around about him. Have you
ever thought what rumpus there
would be il the paper should always
contain the feelings of the editor, or
if he should criticise rs he is CRITICS
cd. A newspaper man is little
different from other men his bust
ness makes him so. He makes it
his study to say all the good things
he can about those around him and
to say as few of the bad things as he
can. If you don't get the puifs you
think you should have, come in and
tell the editor about it, and you will
find him ever willing to proclaim to
the world your good deeds if they
are worthy of it. Don't stand back
"''th - osor fa'- ard hita a~5 ~~~-a
r@ru what a mean cuss he is. Yo,
may want his help sometime or Won
may die and then what an obituary
he might write.

A Warning to Tenants,

A non-suit, entered in the Mont
gomery county court in case where
the parents of n child, killed by fall
ing into well, sued the landlord
for damages, should admonish ten
ants to read the terms of the leases
they may sign. On the premises
rented by the plaintiffs there was a
well with rotten board covering.
The tenants notified the agent of
the property, and he promised to
have repairs made, but neglected to
do so. The owner was then notified,
and he also promised repairs, but
did not make them. Soon after
wards child of the tenant playin G
on the well cover broke through an d
was killed. That looked like good
case for damages, but the lease of
the premises did not contain the us
ual covenant requiring the landlord
to keep the property in good repair,
and the court therefore ordered a
non-suit.

Dog T AK

Under recent act of assembly
assessors are to return the dogs
found in their district, and the coun-
ty commissioners shall fix the rate
of tax. The tax will be collected by
the collectors of county tax and paid
into the county fund. Damages for
sheep killed by dogs shall be paid
out of the county treasury, and as
we understand it the tax rate need
only be high enough to cover the
damages to sheep by dogs and will
be much less than under the old
law. This is no more than right,
for we never could understand the
justice of taxing out of existance

trustworthy companion and staunch-

The Bright Side.

1t is singular fact that, with the
exception Of wheat, all farm pro-
ducts bring the same prices as be-
fore the war. Oats then. by the bag
OF 3 bushels brought 81 now it is
about the same and often higher.
Corn sold for 40 cents out of the
field and is still the same. Potatoes
sold at % to 80 cents, while now
they bring from % to 60 cents. Pork
and beef sell for the same as before
the war. Poultry, butter and eggs
bring better prices now than form
erly. Apples, which at one time
We're hardly saleable now bring good
prices.
All agricultural implements cost
only half what they once did. Gro
ceries and dry goods sell for Zone
third TO one-half less than in form
er years. Land can be purchased
for one half what it cost some. years
ago. Thisis true so far as concerns
Centre county and the rest of the
state, and it is a bright rather than
a gloomy view to take of the situa-
tion. >>
Those who paid high prices for
land years ago, get the prices for
their products, now yet, that pre-
vailed at that time, wheat only hav-
ing fallen in the past two years.
Those who buy farms now, get them
very low and have benefit of old
prices for their products and should
find farming quite profitable at half
price for land, implements, store
goods, etc.
Now is safe time to invest in
farming lands, as real estate has
reached it's lowest ebb, and ten years
hence will find it enhanced in value
from 10 to 20per cent centre Hdll
