culated and fell, breaking his back,
from which injury he died last evening.

The PRESS is indebted to President
w. II. Crawford, for a very pretty
| booklet, received a few days ago, con-
| tanning several excellent cuts of Allie
gheny College and some of the pictur-
esque scenes surrounding it,which are
interspersed with interesting epitomes
of traditions that have been associated
with the College from the earliest years
of its existence. On one of the pages
we noticed facsimile of the sigma
lures of Lafayette and members of his
suite, as recorded on the College reg
lister by them during his memorable
visit to this country in 1925.
Gen. Roy Stone, who lately figured
in the war news from Porto Rico, is
we'll remembered in Bradford He was
the man who built the Peg-Leg road
which was such great curiosity here
20 years ago. Stone was one of the
principal promoters of the scheme, but
it failed to pan out according to pro-
gram. Hugh Brawley, now of Mead
vile, was a conductor on the train
that ran ''on top of the fence" but
decided to accept safer position. The
man who succeeded him and five others
were killed when the boiler of the
saddle-bag locomotive blew up on Jan.
9th, 1S79.-Era. Gen. Roy Stone is
we'll and favorably known in Empori-
um, having visited here during the
| Bucktail Reunion
We can think of no reason why the
county should not build the much
! needed bridge across the Sinnamahon-
ing river at Wyside. But the reasons
for doing so are manifold. There are
but two ways for the people of Wyside
to cross the river, both of which are
exceedingly dangerous. We believe,
should anyone suffer injury, or loss of
life result from either crossing the rail
road or foot bridges, that the county
would have to pay very heavy damages.
People who are compelled to cross the
river must either ford the stream or
trespass on private property. We
would ask the county commissioners to
make an investigation at an early day
and give the people down there what
they want-what they need.-Drift-

Sam Jones says, GA man may be
rank atheist and a red flag anarchist
and Norman and mugwamp, he may
buy votes and bet on elections; he may
deal from the bottom, drink beer until
he can't tell a silver dollar from
a circular saw, and still he is infinitely
better than the man who is all suavity
but who makes his home a he'll, who
vents on the head of his poor helpless
wife and children the i'll nature he
would like to inflict on his fellow men
! but dares not. | can FORGIVE much ] n
| that fellow mortal who would rat. .her
make man swear than women weep;
would rather hate of the world than
the contempt of his wife; 'Nho would
rather call anger to the face of a king
than fear to the face of a child"
