Our Old Folks.

Mrs. Sallie A. Mace of this town
became light headed while ascend.
ing the stairs last Friday and fell,
dislocating her shoulder and badly
cutting her arm and head. AL
though seriously hurt it is not
thought her injuries will prove
fatal. "Grandmother" Mace, as
she is Familiarity known, will be 80
years old next Tuesday and has
been remarkably active for one of
her age. She has been near death s
door several times but has always
rallied and gotten about again, and
retains all her faculties, her sight
being clear enough to permit her to
knit, which occupies large
portion of her time.
Rising Sun is the home of several
aged residents whose years seem to
rest upon them but lightly. Chas.
McDougal claims he will celebrate
his Tooth birthday on the Oath of
this month. His son William,
however, with whom he lives, says
his fathers age is not definitely
known, but that he is between 95
and 100. He was born in Ireland
and they have neglected sending
for a record of his birth, hence do
not know the exact year. The old
gentleman can be seen on the streets
or in his sons blacksmith shop
nearly every day and moves about
as sprightly as many men % years
younger. Until within the past
three or four years he always at
tended to the garden, but finally
acknowledged that the STOPPING
was tiresome to his back and quit
at his sons solicitation.
Another aged resident who
cheerily greets you on the street is
William Jenkins who is 81 and is
growing younger each year.
Samuel Krewson is past so and
until within the past year or so
followed his trade of wheel
wrighting. He is still able to
appear on the street and take an
interest in local happenings.
Mrs. Lydia A. Haines may also
be numbered with our old folks.
She is well along In her 70's and
until within the past year or two
was able to perform her household
duties.

Yellow Jaundlce Cured.

Suffering humanity should be
supplied with every means possible
for its relief. 1t is with pleasure
we publish the following: "This is
to certify that 1 was a terrible suf-
ferer from yellow jaundice for o> er
six months, and was treated by
some of the best physicians in our
city all to no avail. DR.. Bell, our
druggist, recommended Electric
Bitters; and after taking two bot
ties, l was entirely cured. l now
take great pleasure in recommend,

The popular" Loan.

The Sun, in an editorial, says "that the
new bonds of the Federal Government
are being largely used, it appears, by
banks, to increase their circulation
While the whole increase of circulation
for the year ending September 80, was
81, 574,4 62, the increase in the single
month of September was as much as
So, 277, 697.
"The entire circulation of National
bank notes on Oct. I, was $235 $50, $50.
The strong demand for money that exist
ed recently may, it is thought, have stim-
ulated the issue of national notes, but the
availability of the new bonds had much
to do with the increase of circulation.
About one-third of the $I45, 900, 900 of
new bonds thus far distributed have found
their way to the banks. In some cases
the new bonds are being substituted for
the old ones long held as basis of cir
culation."
Thus, we can see, by watching the
daily press, which represents all kinds of
corporations and national banks, what is
one day called a popular loan is the next
day proven (by the above editorial, pub
lished in the Sun, to be only subterfuge
to increase the basis of national banks.
The results were brought about not only
with the votes of those who are supposed
to be owned by the banks, but also by
those who claim to be Democrats and
represent the people. Among them we
find such names as German of Maryland,
Prichard of North Carolina, and Gray of
Delaware. Such buncocrats are always
to be found on the side of plutocracy.-

to nothing, political, social and
economic, so fondly as the mem
cries that are hallowed by the life
and times of Lord Baltimore, a rare
man Of his day when there was an
office or any emolument in sight.
The Peoples Republic is edited
by William Toner and the subscrip-
ton price is so cents. The paper
takes firm grasp of the live issues
of the day and hour, remorselessly
shakes off the dust of the dead that

We give editor Toner our best

abundant supply of, and we mis-
trust very little else more substan-

Thanksgiving Wedding Bells.

| Communicated.
Amid thanksgiving and praise
and oldtime seasonable weather, a
very pretty wedding took place at
the Household OF Faith church,
Blythdalc, on Thursday, Nov. "a.
Early in the evening the many
relations, friends and well wishers
of the contracting parties assembled
at the above church, made very
inviting by its beautiful decora-
items, tastefully arranged new win
dow shades and profuse illumina-
ton. The rostrum represented a
sweet bower of Paradise, from the
rear of which the peals of the organ
came forth in the melody of

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too by a lady in
this country. "Disease fastened
its clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed i'm
minent. For three months she
coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way
to recovery, by purchasing of us a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery

relieved on taking first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two

Snow.

A November snow storm and
blizzard such as that of last Satur
day and Sunday is very unusual
occurrence in this part Of the
country. Heavy drifts in many
places blocked the roads making
travel in carriages out of the ques-
ton. The railroad section men
were out all of Sunday night shovel
ing snow off the tracks where ii
drifted into cuts. The trains on
Monday morning met With little
detention from the snow.
On Tuesday night more snow fell,
accompanied with rain, and the
roads are in bad condition in con-
sequence of so much weather."
The storm was very severe along
the coast causing much loss of life,
damage to property and wrecking
many vessels.

estate sales ever held in Montgom-
cry Co., Pa, took place on Wednes
day, when Sheriff johnson offered
at public sale fourteen farms belong
ing to the late VIM. M. Singerly.
The farms are situated in Upper
Gwynedd and Whitpain Townships
and comprise 1876 acres. They were
levied on to satisfy blanket mort
gage of 500, 900, subject to a num-
Der of separate mortgages aggregat-
ing about $4,000, which were
given by Mr.. Singerly or prior
owners of the lands before the
mortgage upon which execution
was issued. The execution credi-
tors Richard Y. Cook, ct. al,
assignees for the benefit of creditors
of the Chestuut Street Trust &
Saving Fund Company, of Philada.
The amount of debt as represented
by the first mortgage had grown by
reason of default of payment of
interest aud allowances for counsel
and collection fees, to $40, $50.
The purchaser of the farms was
the attorney for the execution cred
itors, who bid $4,000 over their
claim of $40, 450. This was the
first and only bid made. A number
of real estate experts and farmers
near the properties consider the
price very low.

Senator Harris (populist) of Kansas

Senator Harris (populisD of Kansas
contends that the free silver 16 to l
idea is bound to prevail in this country
and declares that the 1896 contest was
only the preliminary engagement.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, boots at
the idea that the last election was a
rebuke to silver. He thinks it was a
vote for the soldier. Bryan expresses
the same sentiment and says it was a
wave of patriotism that swept over the
land because of the successful foreign
war we are engaged in. When another
period of agricultural depression
comes, as come it must, they say, then
the silver question will force itself to
the front. While these radical silver
men talk thus, the more conservative
democrats are of the opinion that free
silver has had its day and that the
sooner their party is rid of it the better.

Editor Henry, of the Coon Rapids

be simply one Of the unfulfIled prophe-

lenium is at least some distance away
yet. However, all thoughtful people
must see that the world is gradually
growing better and consequently COM
ing little nearer the condition of

The Sioux City Journal is most ably
leading Iowa republican opinion TO a
conservative and safe position on the
money question. 1t has held from the
start of this recent discussion that an
extra session of congress to enact
financial legislation is unnecessary and
that the retirement of the greenbacks
and their substitution by money OBJ
tanned by issuing bonds is unwise now.
Its position is very nearly that of Sena-
tor Allison, and Iowa and the country
will make few mistakes in financial leg
islation if they follow the advice of our
senior senator. President McKinley's
advice for the treasury to only pay out
greenbacks for gold, if followed would
be a careful and effective way of stop
ping the work of the endless chain,
should it ever start again. There is no
doubC but the country can safely trust
President Mckinley and his advisers,
among whom are Senator Allison, to
properly deal with this subject.
