Our Culture Club, ifyet in existence, should
take up for discussion and finally determine
the question: after what hour In the even
ing may it be deemed indicate for a young
gentleman to require young lady remain
awake to entertain him?"
John Murphy, a laborer, employed on the

tions and with bated breath! !!

MOUNTAIN FIRE.-On Sunday last de-
structivc fire ragged on the mountain between
High Run and Hunting Creek. Probably
one thousand acres or more were burned
over. The frost Of the early part OF the
month brought down the leaves and as no
rain had fallen upon them they were dry and
lay loosely upon the ground and the fire
burned fierccly.
A CoRREcTIoN.--In our last issue we
stated that this district gained over thirty
votes on the late registration. We were
seriously in error while the exceptionally
large number of fifty-two new names were
added to the list. fifty were stricken of, f,leav-
ing but net gain Of two.
OF those stricken off, 20 were transferred;
lS disqualified and 10 dead.
Paul Kruger prays to God, asking him to
direct the bullets fired by his Boer riflemcn,
OF course he desires to have the largest pos.
sible number of those bullets strike the heart,
or other vital spot, in the body of British
soldier.
Is that an ignorant sincerity; or is 1t sac
rilege; or is it accepted that the God to whom
Kruger prays, may accord him his DESIRES if
they, in His opinion, are just.
STILL ANOTHER 1t seems that more than
one good thing promises to come this way.
Our people are in receipt of a proposition
that may result in the locating OF knitting
mills in this town. We need only good
start in this direction and then the adagc:
"No.hng succeeds like success" will apply
to our affairs.
1t is reported that Wllllamsport is reaching
out after this industry; it will then depend
uponNhich of the two places comes nearest
meeting the requirements and in this we
should be at no disadvantage, save distance
from the home concern in Hagerstown.
Anent the successful swinding by fakirs
at the county fairs, some of our contcmpo-
rarcs seem to wonder that the people have
not been educated up to the point to shun
these games.
Why, every one ot them have heard of
them and know they are swind(ers, but they
think themselves smart enough to beat the
swindler at his OWE game and in that they
differ but little from thousands Of others
who, though they would scorn to be caught
fighting the county fair tiger, yet are contiu'
ually getting their fingers burned in some
other games, such as big-intercst stocks, the
wheat pit, horse races, election results, office
hunting and all others of that genus. Those
who 60 up against these latter games are
always highly educated"
