MATAMoRAs, Sept. 15-There has been
some discussion in this and adjoining
states as to the practic under the free
text book law of placing the old school
books again in the hands of children. 1t
is contended that disease germs may be,
and often are transmitted in this
manner. 1t might be well TO have all old
books thoroughly disinfected.
The road leading to the old Wehinger
farm has been greatly improved by the

Wednesday, Sept. 9th was the twelfth
anniversary of the marriage of Mr.. Edwin
NJ Kimball to his good wife, and it had
been decided to quietly celebrate the event
by inviting few friends, but the design
was thwarted by the members of the
Ladies' Christian Union of the Hope
Church who turned out in body and sur
prised the happy couple. To make the
event more enjoyable a large delegation Of
the Royal Templars of Temperance, of
Port Jervis, soon arrived to wish them
much joy and many happy returns of the
day. These expressions also took on a
material shape In the form Of a beautiful
rocker which was highly appreciated by
the grateful recipients. Rev. J. A. Vie
gand made the presentation speech which
was fittingly responded to by Mr.. Kimball.
A Five-o' Clock tea having been prepared
all sat down and thoroughly enjoyed the
repast, after which the guests departed
with many kind wishes for the welfare Of
the family 1t was ON the whole day Of
pleasure for the entire family. The venera
BILE parents Of Mr.. Kimban who not long
since celebrated the flftieth anniversary Of
their wedding, as also Burr W. Kimball
and wife, Of Troy, n. y, were present and
added largely to the enjoyment of the 90
casion.
Burr W. Kimball and wife left for theii
home in Troy, n. Y, Monday after few
days very pleasantly spent visiting friends
and relatives here. TROJAN.

MILL RIFT, Pa, Sept. IA, 1896.
To the Editor of the PIKE COUNTY
Press: DEAR SIR. - In reply to
your communication concerning an
educational column in the PIKE
COUNTY PRESS, will say that 1 am
of the opinion that column devoted
to education and the schools would
not only prove of much interest to
the public, but would have a tend
ency to bring out some of the best
thoughts in regard to school work
and to bring the various schools of
the county into a closer relationship.
The newspaper reaches nearly
every home throughout the county
and is a powerful agent in moulding
the public mind and in creating in
terest and enthusiasm in all sub
jects concerning the public welfare.
The school interests of the county
are of the utmost Importance, con-
sequently it seems to me that an
educational column would be de-
sirable addition to county paper.
Beside the many teachers, there
are, throughout the county, expert
enced individuals who are interested
In educational matters, and who, it
is to be hoped, will contribute to the
column. Yours respectfully,
GEO. SAWYER.

EDITOR PRESS. SIR. In your most
esteemed paper l notice an article
entitled. "Suppose you should be
mistaken" / gladly take it up for
the farmers who are likely to look
at it in the way you put it. / will
answer your query about like this.
There is no fear of any such hasty
calling upon the mortgagors, for
the leaders, are better posted on
money matters than we generally
suppose, nor will sales be any more
extensive than they are about now.
But all the same Mr. Editor keep the
farmers posted on those matters, it
will do no harm if no good. AS for
interest. all good farmers will strive
to get out of paying that, and will
attain what they strive for by pay
ing off the mortgages, which will be
much better. We will also see once
more a better and freer people. /
should add that the month of Sep
tember, the harvest month for farm
ers, gives a great chance for think
ing and the farmer will do some of
it, for his own benefit. G. l..
