One of the most singular of recent

tub has projections on its vertical
ends, and allows of the full play of
the rocker of the chair. The result

world are those who have never been
taught to work. and there are thous.

should be taught to earn his or her
own living. Whether parents are
rich or poor they owe an industrial
training to their offspring. 1t IS
well to remember that the wheel of
fortune rolls swiftly around, and that
the rich man of to day may become
the poor man of to IN orrow.
For the postmastership at Beaver
Springs we learn that our editorial
brother A. Nj. Aurand is an appli-
cant. Mr.. AuraDd already has more
signatures than all the other appli-
cants combined and it is proper
that he should have. Mr.. Aurand
has given his constant support TO
the Republican party and never hav-
ing held an Office he deserves even
more than tho emoluments of 80
small an Office. We trust Mr.. Aur-
and may receive the appointment as
the rewards Of newspaper man for
his fealty to party are too, meagre
and such favors should be unhesi-
tatingly granted.
