BRIEF nENTION,

SIX tramps are confined in our Jail
for stealing rides on p. & f. trains.
r. M. Overhiser and Mrs. Hurteau
are making improvements and repairs
on their Fourth street properties.
We have received the Cuba Fair and
race program for September 10 to %.
Cuba is noted for its races and the fair
is largely attended.
W.O. Smith, of Punxsutawney Spirit,
lost two umbrellas within one week
ana makes vigorous kick. We think
Jake Wenk can tell you where one can
be found fyou look about his shop.
Last Monday was labor day, yet we
do not believe many of our laborers
celebrated the occasion. The laboring
man and mechanic had all the "rest
days" they cared for under the last
democratic administration.
The person who will read borrowed
paper in order to save the expense of
subscribing for it may be very esti-
mable citizen, but we should vote
against such person handling the col
lection plate in church. Exchange.
The furnace company commenced
to receive stock on Monday. The
plant is all ready for operations and
Supt. Brady hopes to blow in next
Monday This industry is a great help
to our town and will give employment
to about one hundred men.
Driftwood hopes to locate knitting
mill at that place. Good. We are
more than pleased to see our neighbors
up and doing. If you don't hustle
now, when business is brisk and capi-
tai looking for investments, there will
be no use in trying later on. Keep
the ball rolling.
Q. R. Baird & Co., of Phil adelphia
recently purchased two furnaces near
Marietta, paying 1925, 600 for the same.
With the purchase goes the right to
mine iron ore from the celebrated
| Cornwall banks. This is the same
firm who are almost ready to blow in
at Emporium furnace.
Last spring Mr.. David Peasley cut
the brush on piece of land that he
failed to clear. To-day he was cutting
it over and found q sumac that had
grown eleven feet high and four and
half inches diameter at the butt. Mr..
Peasley would like to hear from some
| person who has land that will do bet
| ter than this
Mrs. John Rhone now denies the
"Grit" interview, and says she did not
| say halfthat is credited to her. Whether
or not this is true is material if the
murdered body of John Rohne is ever
| found. 1t is now asserted that young
| Rohne claims he found the Pennsylva-
mia tie voucher in the bible, whereas
his mothers story to the reporter was
that it was found on the organ. She is
reported as saying it was given to DR..
Nevling in part payment of a bill.
DR.. Nevling says it was given to him
to take his bill out of and send the re-
mainder of the money back to the
Rohnes.
The Rohne family, that is Mrs.
Rohne and her children are talking of
increasing the reward from $500 to
3d. 1,00O.-Clearfield Republican.
Associate Judge Wirts, of Miff1in
county, received for his salary last
year $27O; Associate Judge Kline, of
Perry county, received $2s2.6O, and
Associate Judge Bonham, of Cameron
county, received $500, making the
total amount of the salary of the three
Associate Judges $s52.6O. But we
have an Associate Judge who beat the
three Judges named in the size of his
salary. Now when one Associate
Judge can get away with three Asso-
ciate Judges it shows conclusively that
the one Associate Judge is more than
common, everyday Associate Judge.
The Associate Judge to whom we refer
is Associate Judge Kraus, who signed
and swore to bills last year calling for
| S939.45, which is $S6.S5 more than the
three Associate Judges received for
their services that year. The popula-
! tion of the three counties -NIiffiin, Per-
ry and Cameron is $500, and the pop
ulation Of Sullivan county is 1920.
We also have another Associate Judge
who beat the record Of Judge Kraus.
We now refer TO Judge Line who lifted
from the public treasury last year
S9S210 making S129.5O mora than the
three Associate judges Wirts, Kline
and Bonham received all taken to-
gether.-Sullivan County Herald,
