These are some of the points
which should be made The promin-
ence and usefulness of the local
newspaper in building up a town.
It's usefulness to the churches in dis
seminating religious information
and drawing people to the service.
The pride and satisfaction it takes
in the progress and growth of the
town. Its value as a medium by
which towns advantages may be
advertised to the world Its relia-
bility as means by which the char
acter and intelligence of town S
people may be judged by outsiders,
Its freedom from the sensational
and demoralizing features. It's in
tluence in local affairs, and finally
the ambition of the editor, as a rule,
to so conduct his paper that it will
enjoy the confidence and respect of
the community in which it is pub
lished

In THE farm column attention is
called to some late Acts Of Assembly
which especially apply to,and should
interest every farmer in the county.
1t is no use to rail at the laws or
lawmakers if they do not accord
with your views, better obey them
and if they are obnoxious or burden
some have them repealed.

VACATION IS NEARLY OVER

Only few days more remain of
the summer vacation before the
schools open. The young people have
had good season for recreation,
and have enjoyed the wheeling,
camping, boating and dancing until
perhaps they are somewhat tired of
these sports. They can enter upon
the studies which are to become
their future means of living with
renewed vigor. Probably there
will be some restlessness at the be-
ginning and it will seem hard to
toae down to study, but this feeling
must be promptly overcome, for the
scholar, who is wise will realize
that the more closely he applies him
self now the easier it will be when
he goes out in the world to conquer
the difficulties which beset the path
way to success

ing struck him with the iron. but de-
MED the stabbng
Thomas Weiss, of Archibald, told of
Gouse coming to his house at o'clock
on the morning of the murder and of
his admitting before he began his flight
to Forest City that he had struck his
father. His wife, Mrs. Susannah Weiss,
COrrObOrated this and also told that
Reminisky offered Gouse his shoes, the
latter having left the house in his
stocking feet. She also testified to haV-
ing attended old man Gouse during the
time that he was laid up with the
wounds. District Attorney Jones at
tempted to elicit from GouSe's alleged
dying declaration that it was his son
who had murdered him. but in his pre-
liminary questioning he could not es-
tabliSh the necessary grounds, princi-
pal among which is that the dying man
apprehended death, and as a cOnSe-
quence could not bring out the death
bed statement.
GILDEA ON THE STAND.
Justice Thomas Gildea. of Archibald,
identified the iron weapon, told of is
suing the warrant for Gouse and of

as John Gouse.
Mr.. Ballentine tried to bring out on
| cross examination that Justice Gidea
| had also committed Reminisky for the
| same crime, but court ruled this out,
! when Mr.. Jones objected. He succeed
| ed, however, in bringing out the fact
| that a Cobbler's knife, which it was
| supposed made the stab wounds was
! turned over to the district attorney by
| the witness.
Constable John McHale was next
called and testified to the search fol
| Gouse which Immediately established

witness if he had" not also arrested
Reminisky for the murder of old man
| Gouse, but he was not permitted tC
answer, when it was shown that only
one name appeared on the warrant,
1t was necessary to adjourn an houl
before the usual time owing to the alb
