The Correct View.

Ia the Criminal Court of Pottsville,
Pa, the other day, Judge Bechtel
administered a pointed rebuke to
grand jurymen who refused to act
on cases charging violation of the
liquor law. The judge said that
judging from their actions, the jury
men believed that some of the laws
Of the State should not be enforced,
but he reminded them that as long
as such laws are on the statute books
they must be obeyed.
Wise and righteous Judge. The
officers Of the law are not to be
judges of the merits of the laws
which have been enacted. 1t is their
duty to enforce them.-Richmoad

In Marshall District the new
house of VIM. NJ. Richardson attracts
attention, it bring monument to
the workmanship of w. L. Reamy,
the contractor, aud illustrates what
can be accomplished by an energetic,
honest man, even if of the colored
race in this county. Had the race
more men of the same sort no pro
blems in politics would have to be
solved either with or without con-
ventions, that is, problems as to who

The popular "Bob" Pratt leaves

before going he lined up with his
gun and at shooting match won

up again and won it a second time.
If he can oyster as well as he can
shoot he can look with satisfaction

Hon. j. NJ. Lyell has returned
from Richmond to his home in Farm

his post of duty. We can say of the
Hon. j. M. "well done thou good

get a law passed preventing idiots
carrying guns on the roads dark
nights in the interest of good order.
In every human being side by side,
Folly and wisdom together abide.
Various proportions of each all own,
But no one possesses either alone;
The wisest man some folly conceals
While the fool sometimes good sence
reveals.
So be patient with fools and scold them
not,
For remember you may yet be of the LOT 4,
But let this our bosom swell and thrill,
We stand for Democracy and ID. B. Hill.
So say we all in FARNHAM.
