fruit, in former years considered very
abundant, is running a close second to

crop, but now and then a vineyard came
up to the standard ofaverage years.

blanket on; the man who growls like a
wild beast when his wife asks him for
money; the woman who is not what she
ought to be; the minister who is looking
for an easier place aud higher salary I;
the man who walks the streets with his
hands in his pockets, while his wife car

In speaking of the downfall and SUBJ
sequent death OF a young girl, the Punk
sutawney Spirit says; 1.-THE first step
downward ofa young person is taken un-
der the influence Of evil associates. The
stores OF time are strewn with the wrecks
of young lives-lives that might have
been happy, lives that might have been
an honor to some aged father and mother
had it not been for the first evil step, a
step that possibly was considered as hav-
ing "no harm in it, hut which led to
the second, and then to the third aud so
on down the scale to darkness and dis
honor"

| u gf NJ
publisher of the Franklin Spectator, was
a severe shock to the large circle OF friends
of the young man here rs well as at his
own home. He was one OF the rising
young men ofhis city, and while but a
little past % years of age had achieved
marked success as a writer and business
man, having been for some time associa-
ted with his father in the conduct Of Ve-
mango cnunty's leading Democratic news
paper. The sympathy of many of our
citizens goes out to the stricken parents
in this the darkest hour of their lives.
VIM. Lawrence has Just completed
extensive repairs on his private foot
bridge and desires to warn the people
that no further trespassing will be toler-
ated on that bridge. II is the habit of a
number of young people to congrcgate
there in the evenings and use the bridge
as a swing, wracking 1t and straining the
wires, and making it a constant source Of
expense. Mr.. Lawrence has never had
any objection to people using the bridge
for crossing the creek while they acted
fairly, but he does not intend to keep it
up as a place of amusement any longer.
1t would be wise to keep off in the future
unless you have business.
