The bicycle race, the horse race, the

A Lie Nailed.

Recently an article appeared in
nearly all of the free silver papers,
including the Selinsgrove Times
entitled "Eugland's Fear" in which
it was set forth in the most innocent
way that America would increase
her foreign trade bv the adoption OF
free silver. The article is accredit,
ed to the London Financial News
of March 10, The article was n
forgery from beginning to end
The London correspondent OF the
New York Tribune, writing
under date of August 10, says: 1T
is pronounced a forgery by the
London Financial News of August
l3, which refers explicitly to it and
says: mo such article was even
printed by us, and its whole tenor
is directly opposed to tie view we
have taken of the effect of free sill,

the conference. The candidates are

Of Selinsgrove, and A. ID. Miller, of
Lewisburg.
What Senator Hackenberg and
Mr.. Miller intend to do for the claims
of Snyder county we are not prepar-

conference was in deadlock the
claims Of Snyder county were vigor.

vote of the formers conferees should
be turned over to the latter. That

Hackenberg next Monday and IL re-

THE UNCERTAINTY OF 1T.

"Don't bank too much on the assur-
ance of your immediate friends" said an
old campaigner, day or two ago, to a
candidate who is following his first bee.
The candidate had just been talking
of his visit to different sections of the
county and telling of the encouragement
he was receiving. He was almost salts
fed that he was going to have walkover.
"No," continued the old campaigner,
sit will be well to remember two things.
In the first place, your friends as rule
are not in position to tell much about
your chances. People who happen to
know of their sympathies, are not apt to
say much Of you that is unpleasant in
their presence, and then again they are
not going to say anything that is calcula-
ted to discourage you for fear that you
might take it as unfriendliness, or at least
lukewarmness. That you know, is hu-
man nature"
"It is easy enough" continued the
speaker, ''for the average man to get a
pretty good idea as to how another can
didate is going to run, if he will remain
indifferent and keep his eyes open; but
when he undertakes to figure out his own
chances, based on information derived
from his personal friends, he is usually in
a fair way of being seriously disap-
pointed"
The candidate with his first bee, became
thoughtful, and from those around there
was an echo of approval.

firms property is mortgaged, and the
indebtedness to Northern ere ditors Is not
thought to be more than 81 200.
The firm of Kennedy Bros, & Barron
was established in 1877, and all the menu
bers being gentlemen of sterling integrity
and business men of fine ability, for many
years it enjoyed high degree of pros
perity. This condition of affairs lasted
on up to 1890, when the fearful financial
depression began to settle down upon the
country and pc ople began to fail to meet
their obligations and to buy less goods,
etc. Since then the struggle has been an
unequal one against adversely, until at
last ther was nothing to do but to give
up the fight.
Composed of experienced merchants
who always adhered with strict precision
to business principles, who never specu-
lated to the extent Of dollar, whose word
is univers ally considered to be as good as
their bond, and who were careful and
economical in their personal and business
expenses, the fail ure of this firm is gener-
ally and justly regarded as most dis
couraging commentary on prevailing f.
nancial conditions.

HICKORY GROVE, June 3.-We have al
last received the much needed rain we
have been expecting 80 long and now the
"snile of contentment" is adorning our
farmers and they are as happy as happy
can be.
Rev. J. P. Knox and Mr.. Tom McDill
have returned from Gaffney, and report
an enjoyable time in the hustling little
city and with their many friends.
Misses Marie Carroll and Iva Wilson
ant, two of Sharon's beautiful young
ladies, were visiting Mrs. T. NJ. Wilson
ant last week.
The commencement exercises of the
Hickory Grove academy will take place
on Tuesday, the 9th instant, with appro-
pirate exercises. Miss Brice is success
full teacher, and has arranged a programme
that will do honor to herself and school
and at the same time amuse and entertain
the young and old alike. Shillinglaw's
band will furnish the music for the oc-
casion, and the public are cordially in
vited.
Several of our young fishermen are
loud in their protests against the legisla-
tors on account of no fish, which they say
is caused by the dam at Columbia. One
young man says, II am going to keep on
kicking It'll I get to Ben Tillman, and
know very well he will stick his pitchfork
in and give us something to eat"
Mr.. J. B. Martin, who purchased the
Wylie residence, has had the same re.
modelled and is now having it painted
and when completed will be one Of the
handsomest places in town. Would that
we had more such men as Mr.. Martin.
Your correspondent had the pleasure OF
attending picnic at Thompson's mill last
Saturday, and spent most enjoyable time
among the hospitable people of Union.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr.. Ed
II. DeCamp and "Flawpicked," two
humble knights of the quill from Gaffney,
and also Mr.. James L. Strain. T.
