Warrior George is not demonstra-

type of craftsmanship he sizes up
with the best of them.
His constituents fully appreciate
his earnest efforts in their behalf
and we bespeak for him a unan-
imous endorsement for second
term TO which he is so justly en-
titled.
His colleague, Grant New wberry,
of Northumberland, is no less popu-

esteem of all. Among old bache-
lors he is particularly II favorite.
II. Latimer Wilson is serving his
second term as the Representa- i've
of Juniata county.
Mr.. Wilson is a courteous and an
aflable gentleman, always on the
side of the people and never shirks
u duty.
Our sister county can well be

would be the gamer if more persons
like him would have IA voice in de-
termining the character other laws.
