Here are few points in a little
drama recently enacted, says the
Bradford Era A bad drummer
handsome and attractive, comes to
Bradford. He sees pretty girl on
the street. A Irritation begins which
ends in the usual way. The girl is
lured to a big town 10 New York
State and remains there for a time
with the commercial man. He skips
out. The foolish girl is left to grope
about in the shadows of great city.

tion Schaeffer has appointed Miss
Aggie Kerr, sister of the late County
Superintendent G. W. Kerr, to ell
the unexpired term as Superintendent

made, as Miss Kerr is thoroughly &C.
quainted with her brothers affairs

An exchange says: "Did you
ever notice when a man drops a piece
of meat on the floor, no difference
how clean the floor may he, he gives
it kick or lays it to one side. He
will never eat it. But let him drop
his plug of tobacco on the street, and
no difference how dirty the street may
be, he will pick it up, give it a care
less wipe on his coat sleeve, or on the
bosom of his pants, and then take a
chew from it with keener relish than
ever. And did you ever notice that
a man will hardly ever drink out of a
cup of water that some one else has
been drinking from, but he will turn
up the same mans whisky flask and
gurgle it down without thought on
the matter"
What might have resulted in a
serious accident, but luckily did not,
occurred few days ago about three
miles above town. Mr.. Abe Hepler,
, accompanied by an eight.year. old
) boy, we're attempting to ford the river
with horse and wagon when they
unexpectedly got into a deep hole
and the water turned the wagon over
and threw the occupants into the
water, and as neither of them could
swim, their situation, for a time,
looked serious. The boy clung to the
horse and Mr.. Hepler to the wagon
until they foated about ten rods
down the river where the water was
shallow enough for them to wade
ashore. The horse was so badly
tangled up in the harness that it was
about two hours before be was res
cued, but all finally escaped with
nothing more than good ducking.
