] NOTICE that s. s. Faris Ii charged
with being opposed TO tine free school
sys.em by one Of the public men Of this
county. The charge is certainly with.
out foundation. Ee was educated in
the free school, taught in the same and
has always voted to snstainsit. Ihaye
taught in the free schools for fifteen
wears and have known him ut every
school election in that time 70 favor It.
To be Republican Is TO be in favor Of
free se4oola It does not sound well III
the mouths Of Democrats 10 charge any
thing else TO Republican candidate.
Sam Faris is uneompromisinely in
favor OF the free school system That the
the Democratic party originally tried
to destroy. Vote for him and the other
Republican candidates and our school
system will mot suffer under their adj
mtnistration. A TRAoHER

When Hess goes before the
people he talks like o man who
knew his subject and had been
taught in the great school Of ex-
perience.
Jas. E. Law will make the
free school system, in Harrison
county, in all lis workings sec
ond to that of no other county
in the State.
Amajority Of the neighbors OF
Mr.. Fairs have come to us TO say
that there was no foundation for
the report that ne opposed free
schools. They declare him to
bejnst theman we want for com
missioner.
Mr.. Post is a very pleasant
gentleman but his attitude on
political questions and on certain
local questions are such that his
own brothers refuse TO support
him and will vote for Faris.
Many Of our. enterprising citi-
zens are doing some hard work
in order to locate the Chautau-
qua Assembly here. Interest is
still increasing and propositions
for grounds for the location are
coming in every day.
A house and nearly all the
furniture belonging to Misses
Nollie and Minnie Taylor at
Adamston, was destroyed by fire
last Saturday night. The house
was insured but the insurance
will not cover the loss.

The TELEGRAM can positively
assure its readers that Mr.. S. S.
Faris. Republican candidate for
county commissioner, does not
stand opposed to the free school
system, but on the contrary he
declares himselfa most enthus-
iastic supporter of the system.
1t is with sincere regret that
the TELEGREM alludes to the
great loss sustained by j. w
Walden, editor of the Buckhan-
non Busy Bee, whose entire out
fitw destroyed by a recent fire.
Mr.. Walden is a bright, honor
able young man and it pains us.

out announcing the meetings
held by NJ. K. Duty Democratic
nominee for State Senate, we are
informed, use the name Of S. F.

Reed is getting good crowds and
the use of his name on Mr..

A Lion ana His keeDer.

The majestic step, the bold look. the
grace and strength of the lion have
obtained for him the title of king of
the bea is. He is greatly indebted to
the imagination of the poet for the
noble qualities he is supposed to pos
sess. He is, though capable of graft
tude toward those from whom he has
received kindness, often treacherous
and revengeful, and Doctor Living
stone considered him an arrant cow
ard.
The story, however, which we are
about to relate describes his better
qualities. A lion was kept in the me-
nagerie at Brus els. The animals cell
requiring some repairs the keeper led
him to the upper portion of it, where,
a ter playing with him for some time,
they both fell asleep. The carpenter,
who was engaged in the work below.
wishing to ascertain whether it was
finished as desired, called the keeper
to inspect what was done. Receiving
to answer. he climbed up, when seeing
the keeper and lion thus asleep side by
side, he uttered a cry of horror.
His voice awoke the lion, which,
gazing at him fiercely for a moment.
placed his paw on the breast of his
keeper. and with a look that seemed to
say, He is in my care now, and touch
him if you dare, he lay down to sleep
again as though nothing hal occurred.
On the other attendants being sum
moned, they arou ed the keeper, who
on OF ening his eyes appeared in no way
frightened at what had occurred to
give his fellow attendant, so much I'M
easiness for the safety OF his life, but
taking the paw Of the lion in his hand,
shook it and quietly led him down to
the lower part of the den, which had
by this time been satisfactorily COM

Bringing Up of Mothers.

A young person has been writing an
artic. Q ON the bringing up of mothers.
Thirty years ago mothers we're not
brought up: they just grew. They
wore caps early, gave up dancing when
their children we're in short frocks and
knickerbockers, and developed all sort:
of incorrect ideas about chaperons
and firtations. Formerly the young
idea was trained the way it should go.
Now the old tree is pruned and pared
into shape. Girls have assumed the
responsibility OF looking after their
mothers. Mothers are kept to see to a
well-ordered house, ccay refractory
fathers and attend to bores. They
must, moreover. be ornamental, look
we'll at the head of the table, dress be-
comingly, keep up with the fashions,
look nice when the girls take them
out with them, and smile encouraging
Iy at the young men. Nor r their
morals forgotten. Frequently one
hears a girl say: 1T is an interesting
show, but not n Id care to tako my
mother to-"
