Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Paugh, of Cum

Several of the young people of this
place and Short Run gave Miss Ber-
tina Wilson, of the latter place, a
pleasant surprise last Friday evening.
Oysters, fruits, nuts, sweetmeats, etc,
were served in abundance. All report
good time.
Prof. Wilson, of Short Run, while
vainly endeavored to chew an oyster,
shell and all. After a number of
fruitless and frantic efforts a friend
suggested that he had learned that
amateurs at oyster eating usually
swallowed them without chewing
The Professor forthwith proceeded to
swallow One-half dozen of the smallest
he could find. His condition is criti-
cal at present writing.
A true version of last weeks ghost
story:
Four boys went out one chilly night.
And sat there in the cold, cold air,
And tried and tried with all their might
To give another lad a scare.
They took with them five pumpkin heads
And stole a candle from a child,
To make a scare-crow, so they said,
And started on their goose chase wild.
Down in the road one head they laid
And lit it with the candle light
The other four on shoulders stayed
Not having aught to make them bright.
They sat beneath the shade of trees
Afraid to talk, or sing or sleep
Cold and stiff and about to freeze;
Iney sad 1t was Ike stealing sheep.
When 10. their victim came in sight
The horse it had full bit and rein;
The boys they saw no sign of fright;
The lad, he said, Boys, try it again.
The lad had seen a pumpkin oft
The horse had wintered on the same
They did not run the horse shoes OF,
They We're conversant with the game.
The boys were not for singing hymns
AS horse ana rider rode on past,
But Strengthened out their frozen limbs
And said For soaring that's my last
Then with their grief and doWn-cast eyes
And cramped and frozen, stifened limbs,
Went they to the maker up of lies
To get redemption from their sins.
This quacE, who stories writes of hand,
He dreams that none can do it better,
Fixed one for THE REPUBLICAN,,
His mothers story nued the letter.

il rings" and three or four rings
made "a cheese" and this when com
pleted, the great wooden beam, hewn
from some mighty oak of the forest,
was brought down, and the juice of
the rambos, the pippins and the
sheepnoses came in a strong, steady
stream through the clean rye straw
which held the pummace in place.
This was cider, and it was good enough
for anybody. The stuff they make
now they call by that name-well, it
doesn't have the genuine flavor, that's
all, and the change must be owing to
the cider mill. The imagination
couldn't be responsible for it, could it

BIG crops means small audiences
for the populist orators.

CoLoRED BISHOP TURNER, of Geor-
gia, thinks there is no more future in
this country for his race than for hog
in snakes den. The Bishops view of
the outlook is darker than the Bish-
ops complexion, and is at least in
equal need of a coat of optimistic
whitewash. The colored man gets
on quite we'll here, North or South, so
long as he behaves himself.

W. G. Purnell, Esq, prominent
democrat of Cecil county, in letter
to the Elkton Democrat, says the dem
ocrats in the First Congressional Dis
trict, have placed the party sin a dis
graceful position; that they do not
stand any fight for liberty and justice
but like craven cSw%rds, Surrender
the principles of the democratic party,
to act as make-shift opportunist or
ganization to stand around and take
advantage of Republican mistakes to
secure temporary possession of the
loaves and fishes of Office
Mr.. Purnell speaks well. Democracy
is ashamed of its newly engrafted prin-
ciples, ashamed of the record made
by the party in the last Congress, and
only hopes to win by taking advan-
tage of mistakes falsely charged
against the republican party.

think the investment for the educa-
ton of our boys and girls is the best
we can make. 1t is not only the duty
of the state to educate its futures citi-
zens. but the safety of our country
demands it.
A short time ago | was in the Con-
gressional Library at Washington,
which is said to be the most magnifi-
cent public building in the world. AS
| walked around gazing in admiration
upon the beauties of that structure.
| was impressed with the truthfulness
of those notices which the hand of
the artist had painted here and there
around that beautiful building. 1.-The
foundation of every state is the edu-
cation of it's YOUTH There is only
one good thing, namely, knowledge;
and only one evil, namely, igno-
rance" Another, Ignorance is the
curse of God knowledge the wing
wherewith we fly to heaven;n and
this one: Give instructions unto
those who cannot procure it for them
selves" Let us do our part to give
the children a chance. They are as
bright naturally as the children in
other counties; give them a chance
and they will not fall behind. Who
can estimate the great things that the
common school has done for us as a
nation, and if we want our bows and
girls to succeed we must educate
them. We have just had war with
Spain. In 1847 Horace Mann (who
did as much as any one person for the
common schools) said: Spain has
handled more gold and silver than all
the other nations, but is now the
poorest nation in christendom; igno-
rance is fatal to prosperity" How
true Spain did not educate her
children; we see the result.
Another illustration of the power of
knowledge: The first system of ma
tional education was instituted in the
kingdom of Prussia at the time of her
greatest humiliation during the war
with the first Napoleon. 1--WE have
hit upon the idea," said Stein, the
head of the Prussian political affairs,
that it is necessary to inspire the
whole nation with spirit of moral
ity, of religion and patriotism. D." 1--WE
have lost part of our territory said
the king, land our renown as a ma
ton is lost, but this is a reason why
we should develop the intellectual
power of the people, and to this end
l desire that everything shall be done
to extend and perfect the education
of the people" The keynote of this
system was "Gott und faterland.n
What was the result? The bows edu-
Gated in the schools of Prussia grew
to men and in 1870 met and defeated
the legions of France, recovered the
territory taken from their forefathers
by the first Napoleon and united in
Oh0 SISdU eluD Ille SUaUe OF Uef1ndny
the result in a great measure of
their public school system. "Knowl-
edge is power" Men of Garrett. let
us do our duties as lovers of our
children, our country and our God.
There are 347 voters in our county
who cannot read nor write their own
name. Let US do our part to remedy
this matter. Let us have thorough
discussion Of this vital question and
let us do our duty as men.
Yours for the boys and girls of Gar
rett,

CUTTING LOOSE.

First comes the willy Washington.
With aspirants not few,
To places in the Senate,
Congress hall and Cabinet, too:
How well she has succeeded,
There's few who do not know
Who've been residents of Maryland
For decade or two.
Old Frederick next brings in her claim,
With nerve and brawny muscle:
Though not the great,
She keeps apace in every storm and hustle
That wise brains are not luxuries there,
There's some who can proclaim.
Who've bucked against their candidates
In another day campaign.
Montgomery then comes stalking in.
And not without some claim,
To men of sense and Judgment, too.
Who at their homes remain.
All branches, too. they represent
OF business on their state
There's doctors, lawyers, farmers.
And those of high estate.
Now sturdy, loyal Garrett speaks
With unmistaken voice.
give us chance, we have a man
Who'll be the peoples choice
But here Old mother Allie
Waves her hand and mighty arm,
And says: My child keep quiet.
Would you do your mother harm"
No, mother, we have great respect
For you in your old age:
Itamember, though, we're growing strong
And you are in your dotage.
We've got about five hundred,
And few, you know, to spare,
And it may perhaps be wise in you
TO handle us with care.

The New journalism in Cnbn.

The Daily Times of Cuba is the
first American newspaper to be estab-
lished in Santiago, and though it is
having its share of the vicissitudes
which beset such paintings in the
conditions of an era of reconstruction
there is a breezy quality about it
which betokens vitality. The an
nouncement that it has come to stay
is but credible and characteristically
American. One item from its columns
illustrates some of the difficulties
which environ the new journalism in
Cuba Libre:
1t seems to be the object in life of
some people to do as little work and
get as much money as possible. This
was the case yesterday when our
printers ran in upon us the article
'Are We Fools?'' which had appeared
in our issue of the day previous. Our

FISHERMEN LOOKING FOR TRoU-

Salem, Jan. 2S.-The hundreds o.
fishermen in this and adjoining coun-
ties are anXiously awaiting the result
of the conference which is. to take
place next week between Assembly
man Crispin, Of this county, and Act
ing Governor voorhees,, in relation TO
the ultimatum recently issued by the
Delaware fishermen. A short time ago
President Shannon, of the Sturgeon
Fishermen's Association, received q
notification from the Delawareans to
the effect that hereafter any Jersey
men caught fishing on the Delaware
side Of the bay would be arrested and
their nets and boats confiscated. The
fishermen on this side regard this as
an imposition, as there is nothing In
this state to prohibit non-residents
from casting their nets in Jersey wa
ters, and the Protective Association
has asked Assemblyman Crispin to OBJ
tain advice as to what action to take
should trouble arise.

THE NARROW DYKE MARCH COM
PANY TO TRANSACT IMPORT
ANT BUSINESS.

There will be an important meeting
of the Narrow Dyke March Company
on Monday, February z, at which some
steps will probably be taken to rem
edy existing conditions. The present
sluice which drains the dyke seems TO
be altogether inadequate to do ths
work required of it, consequently the
adjacent lands are frequently floOd q
rendering them useless for farming
purposes and a menace to the health
of the city.
Many of the landowners have been
to great expense in ditching and drain
ing. but afterwards found that the
sluice leaked so badly that the bitches
were constantly filled with water, and
that much of the work had been in
vain. The sluice has been in about
ten years, and was an open one of new
style, which seems to have been fail
ure.

largest land owner bordering on the

to reclaim this land, but finds that Il
