G. z. Moss Once Voted for Pearson But
viii Not do so This Year

The Citizen to-day talked with G. F.
Moss, formerly of Alexander, but now
of Ivy township, and found him
strong advocate of free silver. Two
years ago Mr.. Moss voted and worked
and he is hard worker-for Richmond
Pearson, because he pinned faith to
Pearson's declaration in favor of the
white metal. This year he is for Bryan,
Adams and the free silver ticket all
through, because he is still for the
white dollar that Pearson once said he
was for. Mr.. Moss says he has not
left Pearson; on the contrary, Pearson
left him in taking up the gold stand

H. H. Flagler a painter who has
been working at his trade in Milford
for some time past, is skilful also as
a manipulation of checks. Recently
he presented to w. g. G.. Mitchell
merchants of this Borough a check
purporting to be drawn by L. A. See-
ley, who he said resided near Gosh
en-, N. Y, payable at the First Ma
tional Bank of Port Jervis, to tn e
order of Gertrude Greiner endorsed
by her and by Flagler.
Mitchells cashed the check, and it
now turns out that Seeley has no ac-
count there. Flagler left suddenly
after securing the money, leaving
his turnk and some other belongings
with Ernest Wood with whom he
boarded. Some parties here would
be pleased to have him call around
and adjust little balances of account.

We wish to call the attention Of those in
terested to the fact that while the church
embroglio was in,progress at Layton, Pas
tor G. W. Demlng claimed to have his ma
turalization papers, and that the claim of
those who wished him to clear up his
character that he was an allen, and not a
citizen Of the United States was therefore
false. His friends claimed upon his repre-
sentations TO believe that he did actually
hayethems. To some who doubted, the
pastor said he would show the papers be-
fore going to another charge, but he did
not. Last week papers were received from
him, by one of his friends, who peddled
them around and showing them as Dem
ings naturalization papers. They were Of
course shown only to the Dominies friends
who at once gave out that the great point
was settled, that the Pastor did have his
papers as he had claimed, because they had
seen them with their own eyes this time,
and not the Pastors as before. But the
gentleman who had charged that the Pas
tor was an alien and not citizen, early in
the controversy, knew that 1t could not be
possible for he did not have them last fall,
and no opportunity had been offered by
the court of naturalization since that
time. Being therefore interested in know
Ing the truth ne asked to see the so called
naturalization papers. As expected 1t was
found TO be only declaration Of his inten-
tion to become an American citizen at
some future time. Probably when the ma
turalization court again sits previous to
the fall election, and notice Of which is al
ways given In the county papers as every
one well knows. Since this exposure Of
Pastor Demings dupllcity 1t has come to
light that two Of his friends who claimed
TO have great faith in all his statements
went to Newton months ago TO see II there
was any record that he had his papers.
They found nothing but the evidence that
they had been made fools Of. They kept
their disappointment aprofound secret and
the matter had not become generally known
until very recently. II these men were
honest Oenchers after truth why should
they seek to conceal the fact that the Pas
tor had deceived his friends, and themsel-
yes as wellP What measure of man is 1t
who will lie to and deceive his friends and
what should those friends think Of him af-
ter being thus deceived II really looks as
III the pastor had taken some people to be
fools and had not got far astray in his es-
timate. His campaign was carried out on
this line the whole time he was here, and
the people should now begin to realize
what the simplest intelligence should have
plainly seen long ago, that they were being
made tools of by an alien, a designing by
pocrite, who 1t is only too evident had 10
respect for his friends, nor himslf as a

It was Arthur who planned a house,
warming for Miss Rhoda on Christmas
eve. The young men and young women
of the church and town filed her wood
shed with wood and coal. and her cup
board-shelves with things needful for
the necessities of the body. The faith
ers and mothers joined in the work OF
love, and there was never such a
thorough house-warming done in that
locality before. A new light came into
Miss Rhoda's face that Christmastide.
1t was lovelight-she was not alone
in the world any longer; she belonged
to her good neighbors, and they be-
longed TO her.
When the Christmas bells rang in
the church belfry on Christmas morn
ing the people heard them with glad
ness, and thanked the Lord that they
had been enabled to help return Miss
Rhoda's measure running over full.
