Officials.

The present board OF Jefferson county
commissioners, whose pictures appear

third year of their present term and
the county auditors are at work audit
ing their accounts for 1901. While 1t is
true that the commissioners have not

of Jefferson county and have proven
themselves efficient commissioners.
They have faithfully endeavored to
conduct the affairs of the county In a
business manner.
The board is composed of two Repub-
licans, w. G. Murray and Newton Web
ster, and one Democrat, AL. Hawk.
This is Mr.. Murray's second term, and

Claim Promptly Paid.

w. ]. SHAFFER,
Agt. of the Aetna Life In. Co.,
Brookville, Pa,
DEAR SIR:-I wish to extend to you
my sincere thanks for the prompt pay
ment of claim under Policy OF Life In
surance held by my late husband,
Franklin Pierce Breneman, in the
Aetna Life Insurance Company, of Hart
ford, Conn.,, for one thousand (Sl ,000)
dollars on the twenty payment life plan.
Only Sl3.37, the first semi-annual pay
ment had been made on this policy when
it became claim. The policy was de-
stroyed by fire the day after my hus-
band was buried, but this did not invali-
date the claim, as you, the representa-
tive of the company, went right ahead
and fixed up the necessary papers for
payment OF this claim.
further wish to thank you as we'll as
the company for the prompt and cour-
teous manner in which the claim was
adjusted. Yours very truly,
MRS. f. p. BRENEMAN.

Learn to be Useful.

The first thing man naturally In
qulres on meeting stranger is "What
does he do?" That is the supreme test
of manhood. Is he competent to make
living without preying upon society
without dishonest practices or fake
methods? A man should have suff'oitEt
independence and pride OF character to
feel that he is competent to earn q
blameless livelihood in manner that
will benefit, and not injure, mankind.
Hence everybody should learn to do
something useful, and to do 1t we'll.
Money and property are good things TO
have, and a man is all the better for
having desire to accumulate wealth.
There are two things, however, that
are OF more value than riches, charac-
ter and good health, and we should
sacrifice neither for money, for life to .
man OF conscience Is intolerable with
out self-respect, and life is burden to
anybody without good health. Punk

that account the paper said the girls
were hauled up Main street In sleigh
drawn by two score young men and
that they were given banquet In tle

names OF the girls as Mary Howard,
Eliza Wentz and Sara Johnston.
