MILFORD, PIKE COUNTY, PA4 FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6, 1896


The country appears to have ut
terly revolted at the conditions OF
the Chicago platform. We do not
desire to exult over a fallen victim.
The men who stood up for Bryan
were not our foes nor did they in
tend to wrong their country. We
believe that the masses of them
were patriotic loyal American citi-
zens, who simply had lost their
heads at the simmer of the silver
phantom. They will in time see
their mistake and know that they
were treading the edge of a flnan-
cial and social volcano, and will
shudder at the reflection of what
might have been. That steady,
hard. honest common sense which
is at once the safe guard, and spur
of the American people can always
be depended on, and this time it was
grandly in evidence. Now let us
have no more talk about masses and
classes, but all push together for
the prosperity which will dawn all
over this land.

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
The President Calls on the Coun-
try to Give Thanks to
the Great Ruler.
DO DEEDS OF CHARITY.
Mr.. cleveland Says the People of the
United stutes Should Gfse Thanks for
Escape from Dire Disaster, and
Designates Thursday, Novem-
Der Twenty-sixth.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 4, 1895.
Thanksgiving proclamation by
the President of the pited States =
The people of the United States
should never be unmindful of the
gratitude they owe the God of Ma
tions for His watchful care which
has shielded them from dire disaster
and pointed out to them the way of
peace and happiness. Nor should
they ever refuse to acknowledge
with contrite hearts their proneness
to turn away from Gods teaching
and to follow with sinful pride after
their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts
may be quickened, it is fitting that
on day especially appointed we
should join together in approaching
the Throne of Grace with praise and
supplication.
Therefore 1, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of
the present month of November, to
be kept and observed as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer throughout
our land.
On that day may all our people
forego their usual work and occupa-
ton, and, assembled in their accus-
toned places of worship, let them
with one accord render thanks to
the Ruler of the Universe for our
preservation as q nation and our de-.
liverance from every threatened
danger for the peace that has dwelt
within our boundaries, for our de-
fence against disease and pestilence
during the year that has passed, for
the plenteous rewards that have fol-
lowed the labors of our husbandmen
and for all the other blessings that
have been vouchsafed to us.
And let US, through the media
ton of Him who has taught us how
to pray implore the forgiveness of
our sins and continuation of Hea-
venly favor.
Let us not forget ON this day of
Thanksgiving the poor and needy,
and by deeds of charity let our Of
ferings of praise be made more ac-
ceptable ie the sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal of
the United States, which / have
caused to be hereunto affixed.
(Signed)
By the President,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

out the mistakes of the old and new
methods, and explained the system
adopted by Mrs. Pollard, or which is
her system, that it came nearer the
natural order in which chrld
should be taught,-first word recog-
milton, next thought getting third

The afternoon session was taken
up by the same professors in fur
ther celebrating their subjects. In
the evening Supt Sawyer varied the
exercises by introducing a new or
der. First was a Welcome song by
the pupils of the Milford schools
This was followed with an address
by ]. H. Van Etten on the "News-

the Milford schools, Fairy Dell,
when Rev. B. S. Lassiter spoke on
Personal Influence. " Then came
the Soldiers Chorus by a selected
choir and Prof. Detwiler took up the
subject of Books and Reading. The
choir then rendered ''Old Mother

any" illustrating how buds are
formed, protected and how the
leaves and blossoms grow on a cher
ry-tree. The committee on resolu-
tions then presented its report which
is given below when Prof. Sawyer
declared the session closed in few
appropriate remarks, and this insti-
tute with its joys, friendships and
flirtations passed into history. 1t
was very successfully conduc ted, and
the several instructors furnished ex-
cellent material for thought, and
many lessons which the teachers
viii doubtless be greatly profted by
recurring to in the future. The
music and singing throughout was
an attractive and enjoyable feature
of the proceedings.

A Campaign of Education,
BY c. W. sHoRTEELLow.

Once more the educators,
The builders Of our nation,
Met in our grand village,
To further education.
They came to educate themselves;
And elevate their station,
In campaign that is really
A campaign of education.
The pedagogues of grand old Pikei
Those through -breds Of knowledge,
Instructed teachers how to pave
The children's way through college
Advice was rendered kindlyi
And words Of valuation,
Were said, to help the teacher win
This campaign Of education,
So boys and girls remember
That your teacher struggles hard,
To see you safely through in life
So IN no way retard.
But do your best to help her,
In her glorious vocation.

Barber Poles Reversed.

The Democrats elected their
county ticket by greatly reduced
majorities, and on the national the
majority was the smallest ever
given in this county. If they have
any cause to congratulate themsel-
yes it is because there is anything
lett. They went over the county
with trumpets, banners and the
flower of their chivalry as speakers,
but the people have not been misled
or beguiled. The day is past when
Pike can be led to the alter and sac

ter of Portland has been presented for

The rest of the property is given to his
wife in trust during her life, she to enjoy
the net income, and at her death the es
tate to be divided in equal shares among
the children. Any insurance or benefit

among the surviving children.
The will is dated May Is, 1898.
