We have only once to live: there.
fore let us live to some purpose.
The day that dawned this morning
will never dawn again. The oppor-
tunities which it brought with it will
never come again; and if we fail TO
fill it with the service it requires of

chief. The wheels of times chariot
have ratchets to them, and they
move only forward.
There is much excitement through
out Centre county on the question
Of building county poor house,
which will be voted upon in Feb
ruary. In the eastern section there
are few paupers, and the people are
generally opposed to the project
while the western end is as strongly |
m favor of it. There is now $50, 900 |
poor tax annually raised in the coun-
,y, which would be nearly enough to |
build good house for home paupers. |
KEEP Before THE PUBLIC. This is
what Peter Cooper, who died worth |
many millions, said of u newspaper:
In all towns where newspaper is
published every man should adver-
Use in it if nothing more than card
stating his name and the business

,ay the advertiser, but let's people
It n distance know that the town in
which you reside is II prosperous
of business men.
Never pull down your sign while
'ou expect to do business.
