THE TRESPAss LAW.

The act of July 9, 1901, makes it
unlawful for any person to hunt on
cultivated lands which are posted
and in addition to the damages
which may be recovered a penalty
not exceeding five dollars for every
offense may be imposed and on re-
fusal to pay imprisonment may fol-
low. This is the first real indica
tioD the legislature has shown to
protect farmers and owners of lands
from predatory hunters who have
generally no regard for fences or
crops and who will tear down a rod
of good stone wall for a rabbit.
There is no hardship in the act.
Farmers deserve protection, to the
extent at least of enjoying their
lands free from the annoyance and
loss occasioned by careless or indif
ferent sportsmen. 1t is an easy
matter to ask for permission to hunt
on cultivated lands and there is no
reason why consent should not be
sought before so doing.

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
treshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved ; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food.
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
II you have not tried It, send for free sample.

OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES.

The repu blicans of this county
offer two most worthy candidates
for county offices at the coming
election-John w. Kilsby for sher-
if and Alfred Marvin, Esq, for as
sociate judge, Mr.. Kllsby Is a care
full, methodical man with an excel
lent education and is fully qualified
for the Office. He has been a resi-
dent of the county and taxpayer
for forty years and having retired
from active business could give per-
sonal attention to the duties of the
office. Mr.. Marvin is a rising young
attorney Of good Judgment and by
means of his legal education doubly
fitted for the duties of a judicial po.
siion. Both these men would
adorn the offices for which they are
candidates and voters irrespective of
party will make no mistake or have
cause to regret casting a ballot for
them.

GOOD ROADS.

The subject seems backneyed and
trite but there is nothing like keep
ing everlastingly at it so long as
great improvement can be made
with comparatively little outlay.
That good roads increase the value
of farms by making them more ac-
cessible and by enabling their prod
ucts to be transported with greater
facility and less cost needs no DEM
onstration. That the same amount
of money now expended for con-
struction and maintenance would if
properly, judiclously and econom-
ically employed greatly improve the
roads cannot be questioned. The
wonder is that citizens realizing
these truths are Indifferent, or at
least possibly submit to the contin-
uance Of methods which do not re.
lieve the situation. Incompetent su-
pervisors, men who have no inter-
est in roads or who are not concern
cd as to their condition or who may
be influenced by even less commend
able motives, are too often elected
Why do not citizens take a personal
interest in what directly concerns
their comfort and prosperity and
select men for the position who are
careful and earnest in the effort to
improve the roads? If this course
was pursued, few seasons would
demonstrate its wisdom and econ
omy. A few days work in the fall
might be productive of great benefit
and saving and a little money ju-
diciously expended now would
prove a fourtold inheritance next
spring.

A coal yard at Bushkill win be
of immense advantage to people
down the valley. In fact they do
not know through their local papers
that there is a single yard in Port
Jervis and can only ascertain by
paying tolls to see. The same re
mark will largely apply to other
merchants in that thriving town
which has long enjoyed a profitable
trade from this valley. They may
find their doctrine of strictly pat
rOnizing home industry applied by
others in this section as soon as the
opportunity is afforded.

1t is marked evidence that news
paper has brains when editors OF
other papers find their news items
and even editorials appropriated by
1t without the slightest credit, and
then see those same items copied in
other papers and credited to the
stroudsburg Times, a paper which
indulges largely IN this sort Of lit
erary ingenuity. The only draw
back is that the other self-respeot-
ing papers cannot find in it that
which enables them to retaliate.

THE CHURCH COLUMN
tBy REV. @. b. souppnn.l

CBy REV. G. r. soUDDER.)
The topic for next Sabbath morn
ing is, conscience and Conduct, 8"
and for the evening, "Temptation. Z"
At our official meeting held last
Wednesday night it was decided to
hold week of evank kelistic services
at Union, to begin one week from
next Sabbath and to continue each
night until Friday night. On Sun
day the 27th, it will be full moon,
and that will give us a week of light
evenings. We trust that the inter
est manifested at our Sabbath af-
ternoon meetings may be increased
and that a large number may find
their way to the source of all bless
ing and experience personal pardon
and peace
Following the meetings at Union
there will be evangelistic services at
the home church For two weeks
let every effort be made to bring the
attention Of the whole community
to the need of a holier life. Grace
is boundless, and salvation is free to
all who in genuine faith and true
repentance call upon the name of
the Lord and seek His favor.
We are living in an age in which
all Protestant churches believe in
revivals notwithstanding the fact
that many 80 called revivals are
counterfeit All believe in genuine
conversion and in any movement
that promotes it. When we call
the attention of the people of Milford
to a revival we do not ask for a
superficial excitement that shall
vanish like the dew before the sun,
nor do we ask for any set way of
finding the peace and pardon
promised in the Holy Bible, but we
do ask that deeper, more prayerful
interest be taken in holy living for
the Christian, and complete saliva
tion for the unsaved. This will
constitute a genuine revival.
A goodly number of the old peo-
pie were present last Sabbath morn
ing to enjoy the service given in
their behalf. We trust that many
services of the kind may find them
all present. We are reminded,
however, that goodly number to
whom invitations were sent last
year are now in the land from which
no traveller returneth. We are re-
minded also that many others are
growing old. Life is short. 1.-THE
Kings business requireth haste. -
Work while the dav lasts for the
night cometh in which no man can
work"
The storm made the Sabbath un-
pleasant for both old and young, yet
a goodly number were present at
both services. The young people
did very well in rendering the music
of the program and some of the
speaking was very good, we think
above the average. We always
think with gratitude of those faith
full teachers and workers. who are
not in evidence at the children's SER
vices but who, in unseen places,
have been working to make these
services profitable.

OBITUARY.
REV. THOMAS NICHOLS.

Although not wholly unexpected,
the sad tidings Of the death of Mr..
Nichols, which occurred at the home
of his son in Germantown at $50
o'clock Wednesday morning, Oct. 16,
came as a shock to this community.
in which he spent so many years
and where he was so greatly below
ed both as a pastor and man.
He was born in Yonkers, N. Y d,
Feb. 8, 1888, and in early manhood
determined on business career,
but convictions changed his purpose
ard after graduating at Princeton
college in 1856, he entered Union
theological seminary in 1858 and
graduated at Andover in 1861. He
was called to the Presbyterian
church at Chester, N. Y, ordained
and installed there March IL, 1863,
and remained until 1871. He then
became pastor of the Reformed
church at Queens, Long Island,
which he retained until 1875, and
then went TO the First PRESBYTERIAN
church of New Brunswick, N. j.,
which people he served until 1879.
when he went TO the Presbyterian
church of West Pittston, Pa, and
from 1880 to 1889 was its pastor. In
1890 he came to Milford and from
that time until failing health impel-
led him to resign, which he did
Sept. 10, was faithful in his minis
trations to this people.
Mr.. Nichols was a scholarly man,
of excellent Judgment, sound in rea-
soning, acute in debate, clear in his
perceptions, and through all breath.
ed the spirit of the Master whom he
devotedly served. Wise in counsel,
his advice was eagerly sought by
his brethren in the ministry, es-
pecially by those in the Hudson
Presbytery, and he was looked upon
by them as prominently leader.
His sermons were logical, clear and
convincing. AS a magazine writer
he was profound and his articles
evinced mature thought and ripe
scholarship. As friend he was
faithful and loving, and as a pastor
he endeavored both in precept and
by a conscientious example to mag
nifty the doctrines which shone in
his daily walk and conversation
His pleasant manner, beaming face
and warm greetings endeared him
to all with whom he came in con-
tact. By his people he was beloved,
and by the community in general
uniformly respected. A good man
is taken, his life work ended; he
has gone to receive that highest
of commentator. "Well done, good
and faithful servantgp'
April 22, 1868, he married Miss
Anna Boyd of Washington, D. c.,
who survives him. He is also sur
vived by two sons, Rev. T. Mac
Bride Nichols, pastor of Presby-
terian church at Germantown, Pa,
Bayard, of Chicago, ILL.,, and two
daughters, Mrs. Janette Carpenter
of Grand Rapids, Mich, and Susan
B. also by one sister, Miss Susan
B. Nichols, of Owego, N. Y. The
remains will be taken to Owego, N.
Y, for interment and the funeral
will be held tomorrow, Saturday, at
p. m.
