1 don't know as 1 can enlighten
"RambIer'' ON his question Of last
week, aWhat is the difference, if
any, between a member of church
and a Christian" A Christian in
my opinion is a person who lives
squareIy.u to the Golden Rule and
shows by his daily walk that he
practices his belief, while member
Of a church simply thinks that be-
longing to a church and having his
name on its membership rolls will
entitle him to a front pew in the
next world, but his most intimate
friends would never suspicion that he
belonged to any church II he traded
horses with them. Just let "Ram-
bler' deal with him and he will soon
know the difference.
l had my question, relative to
fourth class postmasters having a
right to execute pension vouchers
andsdemand pay therefore, answered
by George Van Sickle, assistant post
master at Bevans, Who showed me
copy Of the postal guide of Novem-
Der, 1894, which says such law
was passed Aug. 23rd, 1894, but
applies only to pension vouchers.
My opponent claiming the opposite
will please take notice.
Somebody is getting ready for bus
iness in the spring. Some nights
ago a number Of horse blankets were
stolen from the horses at party at
HainesviIle and on Saturday the
skate-dance found their trace chains
gone. Those parties evidently mean
to steal the horse next time.
The meeting of comrades after a
lapse Of 81 years must be experienced
in order to describe it. On Friday
last I received a long postal from
Comrede James II. Stubbe Of Colby,
Isle of Man, England, whom 1 had
not seen nor heard from since my
discharge from Co. G, lst N. }. Cav
airy on Feb. "A, 1865. Comrade
stubbe was a corporal in my com
pany and members Of Cos. e, G and
| will probably remember the Jolly
good natured big corporal Of Co. G.
He would be glad to hear from any
member OF the lst n. j., address as
above.
The press Of this county almost
without exception has pounded the
D., L. q w. Il. r. particularly as to
the running Of its trains aud manage
ment. In 1890 its stock was quoted
at l49l and on Friday last at 26s.
The officials and stockholders are
satisfied and if the public are not,
ride on some other track. The ofiic-
ials Of that road are not managing it
for their health but for the dollars,
and the quotation given is evidence
Of that fact.
Our roads have been splendid for
the past fortnight and had the loose
stone been thrown out would have
equaled the Pennsylvania roads.
