Spring-time has come. The wind

their icy grip and are laughing mer-
rily.
And bark the feathered warblers sing,
It's Natures cheerful voice;
SOFT music halls the lonely spring
And woods and fields rejoice
The firm of Beachy & Orendorf
have finally disposed of their remain
ing stock of merchandise, j. 0. Getty
and DIR. q. G. Keller being the pur-
chasers. The new firm announces a
thirty days cost-sale, during and
after. which the store building in
which the stock is located is TO be re-
paired and remodeled. After the build
ing is completed which is supposed to
be about May LIST, the new firm, Getty
& Keller, will restock with a full line
of general merchandise. We are glad,
personally, to see the firm again enter
the mercantile business, as Mr.. Getty,
wiz W III nave Nlltli vi llAC SlNlANC
and practical part of the business,
has in the past been one of the most
honorable merchants this community
has had in a number of years. This
said with due respect and justice to
the virtues of our other merchants of
the present and past and with no de-
sire to disparage. 1t has been the
actual experience of the writer that
as rule goods can be more economi-
cally purchased here, considering cost
of transportation &c, than in neigh
boring towns.
Rumor has it that Sam Swauger
intends to occupy the Livengood
property which is now being occupied
by J. Walter Keller and family, fore
man of the Italian gang of the Jen-

Prof. Gnegy has recently been in

equally accommodating. The school
building is fine large brick struc

The sore arms from the recent vac
cinations caused by the prevalence of
small pox in our midst is a source of a
great deal of Inconvenience and in
some instances considerable pain to a
number of our people both great and
small.
The case of small pox that devel-
oped a few weeks ago and nearly
scared the life out of everybody in
town is going along peacefully and
quietly to satisfactory termination.
Mr. Lewis Baldwin, the victim, and
his wife have been quarantined over
two weeks and no new cases as yet
have broken out. Twenty days is
about the limit after having had con
tact with the disease and those par
ties who visited Mr.. Baldwin during
the first days of his illness and before
it was known to be small poX have
commenced to breathe easier, SLEEP

small enough for all infant and large
enough for giant. AS we have only
one case, please understand the one,
for fear some one may say 100, and it
is so rare in this community. We
have taken extra precaution to pre-
vent its being stolen or straying away.
Flags were furled in honor of the oc-
casion and ropes put up to keep away
the crowd of curious intruders. Our
interest in the case will continue for

The Portraits Of OurPreSi1entS
With Biographical Sketches
BY
General Charles H. GroSVenor.
Title page desiened by Tiffany.

This Inaugural year, when the public mind
is aroused over Presidential questions, is a
hitting time to issue General Grosvenors
book. Its sale is already tremendous, and
will perhaps exceed that of General Grants
Personal Memoirs.
Every patriotic American desires to read
what General Grosvenor has to say of G Gorge
Washington, Thomas Jefferson. Andrew
Jackson. Abraham Lincoln, President Nc
Kmley and the other Chief Executives of the
Nation. Everybody desires to read what
General Grosvenor, the Staunch old Repub-
lcan leader in Congress, will say of that
staunch old Democrat. Andrew Jackson. the
Father OF the Democratic party. General
GroSvenor has thrown into his sketch all the
fire and energy of his nature. The biography
of Thomas Jefferson is grand. The biogra-
ply of Lincoln is as beautiful as sunrise
over the hilltops. General Grosvenor has
personally known all the Presidents since
the time of James Buchanan. The Gen
erals book Will therefore contain history
which has never before been published, writ
ten from his own personal observation of
these great men. General GrOSvenOr has
served in Congress for nearly twenty years,
and he has served his country in war and in
Congress for nearly forty years. The book
contains twenty-fom large Photogravure
Etchings as fine as steel Plates, printed by
hand, on heavy plate paper made especially
to order. These "a PhOtogravure Etchings
are in different tints, and are well worth S.,
each. These Portraits are made from the
Paintings endorsed by the family and near
relatives of the Presidents. Two years time
and fortune have been expended in secur-
ing these reproductions. The complete book
is well worth $50, but the price has been
placed so low that the most humble Ameri-
can citizen can own it. The biographical
sketches are printed in large open type in
two colorS; the work is so beautiful that when
people see it they want it. The advance sale
is very large. President Mckinley was the
first subscriber. There is one edition known
as The President Edition de Grand Luxe, in
itial letters hand painted, Portraits hand
colored, title page hand Illuminated. regis

money for paper and for having it

you have to look at every day and of

Another story of the Rise fn North

A farmer in a small but comfortable
way in Pennsylvania has long been ia

sales OF his crops to Philadelphia cac;.

! ing banking house Of that always rest
full and once respectfully governed city.
| A little more than a year ago he went to
town, and after depositing his years
gains, sought advice how to invest
! few-a very few-thousands OF dollars.
The result of good deal of talk was
that he instructed his bankers to buy
hundred shares of Union Pacific and put
them away for him.
Following the slap-dash custom OF all
who engage in the breathless business OF
stock speculation. the bankers clerk
wrote upon a slip of paper Buy 100 L.
p" and sent it to the representative OF
the house on the floor Of the exchange.
That man misread y. p for U. T.. and
bought 100 Northern Pacifcs Months
passed, and the farmer came TO the
Quaker City again. TO find the Northern
Pacific shares in his box. and to make a
mild outcry because he did not find the
said the n. p stuff was not his. and he
wanted the U. P. stock The bankers dis
covered how the mistake came about. and
were profuse in their apologies. They
apologized until the farmers better feel
ings were touched-especially when the
bankers said they would sell the y. p.
and buy the L. p. at their own expense.

asked.
"oh. yes: very good" said the banker.
1T pays such and such a per cent, and is
in every way safe and promising"
Then / guess I'll keep it," said the
farmer
The farmer returned TO his farm. More
months passed. Spring came. Then the
farmer read in his local newspaper that
y. r. was quoted at 500, at 600-at 800
at 200. He rushed to Philadelphia. and
by the time he got there it had reached

He made a profit Of $50. 900: a fortune
