This candidate Is General John w.
Schall. Of Montgomery county. Gen.
eral Schalls candidacy appeals largely
to the veterans Of the civil war and the
members of the National Guard, to
whom he IL well known, both as q
prominent member Of the Grand Army
and as brigadier general in the guard.
General Schall will be indorsed for
the secretaryship OF internal affairs by
the Montgomery county delegation and
his friends say the county convention
will appoint committee to take charge
Of his candidacy. General Schall Is
very popular and It is quite probable
that Montgomery will vie with Indiana
In seeking TO have the largest delega-
ton at the convention to labor for her
local candidate. General Schall's ad.
mirers have been sending into other
counties to obtain pledges In favor Of
his candidacy, and they report that the
suggestion for his nomination has been
most favorably received.
Major Brown, Of Erie, has been In the
Asld for some time az candidate to
succeed General LAtta ~ secretary Of
internal affairs and he has received
some nattsring Endorsements. He. too.

The many friends in this coun-
ty of Rev. l.. Carmon Bell, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at
Greencastle, will learn with sor-
row of the drowning of his Is
year old son Frank at New Will
mington Pa, last Thursday even
ing. The facts as given by the
Valley Spirit are as follows:
son Thursday night about 8 o.
clock, Frank Bell accompanied by
several of his colleagues, walked
to a creek near New Wilmington
to have a swim. The water was
deep at some places and it was
while young Bell was swimming
in water from six to eight feet in
depth that he was sudd emily at
tackled with cramps. Shrieking
he attracted the attention of one OF
his companions who swan to his
side to give assistance. No soon
er had the companion arrived in
reaching distance when Bell
grabbed him about the neck and
both disappeared beneath the sur
face. In short time the com
panion liberated himself from the
drowning lads grasp, reappeared
and with assistance was able to
land safely on shore. Young Bell
did not come for several minutes
and when assistance reached him
he was drowned.
He was removed to the home of

WHOSE FAULT is 1T :?
Complaints That The News
Does Not Reach Subscri-
bers i'm Time.

berS in Time.
Complaints come to US occa
sionally that the Fulton County
News is late reaching some of the
postotfices in the county.
Now, the "News" is mailed at
McConnellsburg so as to reach
the following offices in this county
on Thursday; Amaranth, Akers-
vile, Burnt Cabins, Buck Valley,
Clear Ridge, Covalt, Emmaville,
Crystal Springs, Dickeys Noun
tain, Dott, Enid, Franklin Mills,
Gem, Gracy, Hustontown, Laidig,
Lashley, Locust Grove, McKibbin
Needmore, New Grenada, Plum
Run, Sideling Hill, Sipes Mill,
Warfordsburg, Wells Tannery,
West Dublin and Waterfall
There is but one of the 80 post
Offices in the county that should
receive the Fulton County News
later than Thursday-that is Dub
lin Mills, and that is chargeable
to the mail routes and, of course,
no fault of ours. The Dublin Mills
pack leaves McConnellsbnrg on
Wednesday afternoon, goes over
to Harrisonville, and waits until
after dinner Thursday. 1t then
makes a trip of five miles Thurs
day afternoon, and stops over
with the good people of Huston
town until Friday morning, when
it goes out to Dublin Mills.
Our subscribers in New York,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, get
the News earlier than Dublin Mills
some II or 18 miles away from
the county seat.
For the lower end of the county,
the News leaves McConnellsburg
Wednesday afternoon, goes to
Big Cove Tannery, stays all night
and Thursday morning goes to
Hancock. Then, there is no rea-
son in the world why it should
not go out with the carriers in the
afternoon to all points in Union
and Bethel.
We are informed that the
"News" pack did not reach Dott
postotfice recently, until the Mon
day evening of the week following
it's publication.
The mail for Brush Creek and
Wells leaves here at 3 20 Wednes-
day afternoon. Where there is
delay in the News reaching your
office, we shall be glad to be noti-
fed.

COUNTY FUNDS SAFE.
Ex-Deputy Treasurer the Only
Loser.

That there may not be any mis-
in regard to the
robbery at the county treasurer's
Office last week, we find upon in
quiry that none of the county
funds were taken. George B.
Daniels is occupying the county
treasurer's Office for the practice
of law.
During the three years ending
with January last, Mr.. Daniels
was deputy county treasurer.
When the Office changed hands,
there was an old shot bag con-
tanning couple of hundred pen
MES that belonged to the County,
and George just passed over two
dollar bill and kept the pennies
for Sunday school money.
1t never occurred to him that
anyone would break into the Court
House for a penny; and so he
kept them in one of the drawers,
not even locking the drawer. In
fact, on this particular evening, he
had not even taken the precaution
of closing the shutters or taking
the screen out of the window.
The rest of the story was told
last week. Some fellow came
along removed the screen, went in
took the pennies, and-went out.
That's all.

in the old stone house. He was
little strict, too, and we thought
best to keep on the good side of
him. l think he taught two win
ters.
Teaching in those days had not
been reduced to any kind of sys-
tenn as it is now. The methods
were crude and haphazard f.; in
fact, there was no method at all.
You just gathered up what books
you had and went to school. You
we're put to working out sums in
arithmetic. If you got into a
tight place, the teacher was call.
ed on to help you out. There was
no classification at all. Each fell
low tried to see how far along he
could get in the arithmetic or the
grammar before the term was
out. You might go as far along
in the book in day as you could,
or you might do as little as the
teacher would let you off with.
But the teachers generally, under
the conditions, did the best they
could. The time simply hadn't
come for the waking up of the
modern spirit of improvement in
methods of teaching. Yet with
all the crudeness in teaching,
there were not wanting many
who made the best of such advan-
tages as they had and will prob
ably compare favorably with the
products of the public schools OF
the present day.
In closing, 1 wish to correct a
misprint of the name of A. HI.
Cline. l think 1 wrote it Ham
as that was what we called him,
but it was printed Hiram-prob
ably my fault in not writing il
distinctly.
