Many of the school districts in tho
state have two annual terms, Super.
intendent of Public instruction,
Sohaeffer has ruled that the practice
is Illegal, that the appointment of
teachers by directors in April and
May for the next annual school term
is contrary to law, and that he will
insist on compliance with the pro-
visions requiring continuous annual
school terms in every district with.
out changes of teachers whenever il
is practicable.
Do you hope to see the day when
everyone will be satisfied and no one
kickingi Don't do it. 1t is vain,
When prices are away up the custom
ers will kick, and when they are
away down the producer will get in
his work. So it will go. Never will
all be contented at once. The COM
petion which is very favorable for
some will be just as undesirable for
others. The time will never come
when every one will be satisfied.
John Mace, farmer and distiller
at Petersville, Northampton County

had been circulated throughout the
region that there would be plenty of
free whiskey for all, and an immense

severely chilled and disgusted, re-
turned to their homes hours before

The following conundrum is going
the rounds: Smith found a ten.
dollar gold piece lying in the road
He gave it to Brown to settle meat
bill Brown gave it to Jones to pay
a grocery account Jones turned il
over to Baker in payment of n bal
auce due on lumber. Baker returned
it to Smith in settlement of note
Smith took it to the bank to deposit
it, when the cashier threw it out as
counterfeit. Now were these va
rious debts paid?
The Mifilinburg Telegraph has th,
following to say concerning theii
county superintendent:
"Prof. B II. Johnson delivered lee
ture ut the recent farmers institute
at Northumberland. Oft the Pres,
of that place says: The subject of his
was Building for Citizenship" His
discourse was well written and ele
gantly delivered. He said some oi
thegreatest evils against good citizer
ship were the influence of socialists
and nihilists, and the place to train
young people for citizenship was til,
school ro ON.
Mr.. H.A. Gift, formerly of Middle
burgh, is a member of the Nebraska
State Band and Judging from the
following clipping, Alvin is attaining
proficiency in music and popularity
in Nebraska "Mr. III. A. Gift,
clarinet solo was full of melody
excellently rendered, the audienc,
insisting on a repitition on the
Fourth Air of Varie' by Thornton

On the eve of the departure OF r
II. Harter as editor of the Posi- tC
Bellefonte, Pa, where he takes
charge of the Bellefonte Gazette,
desire to take this means of express
ing my regret in losing so able ant
congenial employer rs well-a goot
and progressive citizen. While il
his employ for twelve years 1 have
always found him fair and hon
orable in all his dealings, and es
pecially kind to his help-it has al
ways been his desire to place then
upon a plane with himself and max
ing them feel interested in the wei
fare of his business. In his new
field of labor, by his thrift, energ.
and ability success will await him.
Very truly, =.
