The above statement includes the
votes published last week.
The Middlcburgh Post Office was
moved on Monday to the new room
in the bank building. The Office
looks very neat and pleasant and
considering the size of the town il
compares well with the most hand
somely furnished Office at Selips-
grove. Middleburgh has reason to
feel proud of its new Office aud Billy
Snyder, the assistant, is happy in
his new apartments.
Girls who have formed the un-
lovely habit Of chewing gum are in.
formed on the authority Of a famous
scientist that it produces face wrinL
les runningfrom the nose towards the
corners of the mouth. The girl who
wishes to avoid such wrinkles will
stop chewing gum. Probably she
would not stop for anything else,
but when the choice is between an
unwrinkled aud wrinkled one The
gum will have to go.
The Spring election will take place
on Tuesday Feb. 10, for borough and

A bill has been introduced in the
state Legislature making it COM
pulsory upon counties to establish
county poor house for the main
tenance of the poor and to provide
work for those able TO do it. Rep
resentatiye Herman will likely make
known TO the people OF the County
the purport of the bill. This matter
has been discussed by the papers of
the County and it should again be
carefully considered so that our re,
preventative will know how to vote
on the question.
There is II compulsory education
bill ready to be launched upon the
Legislature. The word compulsory
and arrest do not appear in the bill.
1t is a complete blind on those

guardians of children between the
ages of s and is years to attend a
public or private school for at least
sixteen consecutive weeks each year.

the first offense by fine not ex.
ceeding twenty-five dollars, and for

After fourteen years of faithful
and efficient services as assistant
Postmaster at Selinsgrove, VIM. G..
VonNeida will retire from the SER
vices Of Uncle Sam. There is uni
versal feeling of regret among the
patrons of that Office to lose Mr..
VonNeida. In the entire ii years
service, We have the first complaint
to hear concerning his treatment Of
of patrons, yet he voluntarily retires
from his present position with a
view of spending his entire time and
and attention in the life insurance
business. A special effort was
made by the citizens to induce Mr..
VonNeida to remain, but feeling the
need of recreation and more out
door work, he was compelled re-luc-
family to decline their earnest solici-
tation. Harry Laudenslager,
young man of sterling qualities,
will succeed Mr.. VonNeida and by
close application he will be able to
serve the people satisfactorily. All
parties concerned have our best
wishes. He will retire Feb. 1st.
