nag raising is not to be monopoly,
rs some writer in the Democrat and
Register has made himself believe.
he has talked monopoly SO long,
that ne is like the fellow that enter
tanned his superstitious friends with
the story Of q spook on hie garret.
de told the spook story so often till
he himself believed that spook had
taken up its abode on his garret aud
ne was afraid to go up to .he garret.
Now don't be afraid of his SO called
flag monopoly. See the flag go uo,
and turn out to the Republican
meeting.
The Bloomfield Freeman reports in
its issue of the 2lst on coon hunting,
that John Lesh, of Juniata township.
went out on last Thursday night and
caught three cOons. On last Friday
night 16 hunters from this place were
out nearly all night with their dogs and
caught one possum and skunk. On
Monday night there was another party
out. They succeeded in freeing a coon
but the tree was surrounded with brush
and briars. The hunters cleared a space
around the tree, so that when the coon
would be chased down, the dogs could
have a chance at him. Instead of
jumping into the cleared space, the fool
coon jumped away over into the briars
and got away. He did not know a
good thing when he saw it.
One hundred and twenty dollars, for
catching fish in any of the streams of
Pennsylvania is a luxury that few men
can afford, but according TO the
Chambersburg Repository of the 2lst
inst, that sum of money was paid in
Franklin county for getting gilled in
the net of the law. The Repository's
report says.-Magistrate Van II. Haul
man has made his decisions in the case
against Col. w. Lee RhU des and George
Poper for Illegal fishing. The Justice
acquits Col. Rhodes but finds Poper
guilty. The case is one of summary
conviction and under the act of AS
sembly Poper will have to pay fine OF
$IG0 and costs of about $40. An ap-
peal can be taken to court but it is not
likely in this case.
The charge was that Poper was fish
ing in the creek with set nets and had
caught bass and trout
Bloomfield Democrat, Sept. 2l.-A
number of young ladies of this town
were "taken in" by an Oily-tongued
sharper last week, who pretended tC
give instructions in painting on china,
making artificial flowers, etc. He rep
resented himself as an agent for firm
in Tyrone, Pa, which would purchase
the work done by the young ladies and
pay them literally for it. For the ma
terial furnished and his Instructions
which were to he given the next day
he charged various sums, ranging from
fifty cents to two dollars, according tC
the ''easiness" of his victim. About {
dozen young ladies, no doubt with
dreams of pockets full of pin money as
the result of pleasant labors, paid erei
their money to the sharper and are now
wiser but sadder girls.
Last Saturday morning eX-Judgt
Junkin and Samuel Roath, ESQ, trip
ped and fell over the guy ropes used il
the erection of the monument. The
former was slightly shaken up and the
latter suffered severe bruises about the
face and person.
'i'he Simon pure patriots, the Quay
ties in the state have recently given
out specific orders that at all of theil
partisan and machine gatherings, they
should fling to the breeze and wave the
American flag and thereby attempt tc
moncpolize all the patriotism of the
land"
The above is from the Democrat and
Register of last week, and reads like 9
circus joke, for it is SO clearly wide OF
the mark that a man in earnest about
what he says would not get off a long
sentence like that. a monopoly on
the waving of the flag, that's the fun
niest thing said, when the truth Is,
everyone who feels like waving flag
can do so, and does do so. They veal
them on the lapels of their coats. in
their hats, on their baby coaches, hang
them out of their windows, place them
above the doors of their houses. With
such universal waving of the flag 1t is
no wonder the Republican party waves
the flag at its meeting. No, the Re
publican party has no monopoly on
the waving of the Stars and Stripes
But the monopoly Of opposition to the
waving OF the flag on the territory con-
quOred from Spain is going to come
from the Democratic party. They are
getting jerks in line for that purpose
and possibly that is why the Demo
crat and Register published the article
that is so wide of the mark as to cause
comment among those who under
stand the meaning of common English
reading. No the Republican party
does not want monopoly of the flag
raising, il cordially invites all TO come
when ever it has a flag to raise, and pa
triotically participate. If they cant
all help to pull up old glory they cal
encourage by their presence. They
don't want anyone to stand back ano
suck their thumb and blubber, anC
say no, no, the Republican machine i:
