w. w. Wittenmyer has transferred
his store to the Gelneit brothers, and
the latter gentlemen took possession on
Apr.1st. TheWittenmyers have been in
the mercantile business In this town for
almost seventy five years, longer than
any other family in Central Penn.
During this time they have occupied
the same corner where their fine busi-
ness block now stands. The business
was established in 1928 by the late Sam
uel Wittenmyer and was conducted by
him until 1870 when his son, Waldo
Wittenmyer, entered the firm. This
partnership of Samuel Wittenmyer &
Son was continued until 1889 when the
senior member of the firm retired. From
1850 until until now w. w. Witten-
myer conducted the business. We wish
the new proprietors the success which
their predecessors enjoyed for so many
years.

Letter to Henry Dietrich,
MIDDLEBURGH,P PA.

Dear Sir Ruckland, Main, is a sea-
coast town hard place for paint. About
seventeen years ago, Farrand, Spear
& Co., Rockland, began with Devoe.
Their first sale to paint the Harrington
residence, well known there.
Mr.. Farrand says the house appears,
from the street, to be well painted now,
and has never been repainted.
We should like to know more def
nitely about a job of paint that has
lasted seventeen years on seaside
house. 1t Is the longest time we have
had report on.
Lead and oil lasts three years-a first
rate job-and nobody says it lasts long.
er. We are content to say that Devoe
lead and zinc lasts twice as long but
we know Of houses innumerable, on
which our paint has exceeded six years.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE & Co.

The Officers of the Lewistown Divis-
ion are considering the matter of
changing the time of the afternoon train
leaving Sunbury for Lewistown. They
would like to know whether it would
suit the people along the line better to
have the tram leave Sunbury at 5:25 p.
m. instead of 2:1F p. m. We think that
the change would be an improvement
over the present arrangement, as at
present, no one can leave a station on
this division and 60 any further than
Sunbury or Lewistown and get back
the same day. Under the other ar
rangement, a trip could be made as far
as Lock Haven, Mt. Carmel, Wilkes
barre, Harrisburg and intervening
stations and return the same day. One
could leave Philadelphia at noon and
get home the same day. Middleburg
should have this train and so should
every town along the road, but as Sc
linsgrove would not be satisfied without
an afternoon train, and Middleburg,
the county seat needs the afternoon
train to accommodate the people from
the East who have q few minutes busi-
ness here, instead of running the after
noon train only to Selinsgrove, It
should run at least to Middleburg.

Gone To Be A Soldier.

Far away in q western tent,
To be a soldier he has gone.
Now serving in regiment,
Far from his beloved home.
For three long years he went away
To serve his country true,
Some day We'll hear the people say
That he was hero. too.
He was member of the band,
And played tenor horn,
But the last shake of his hand,
Made us all feel quite forlorn.
He was his fathers only son,
His mothers hope and joy.
A loving sister, only one,
Had this patriotic boy.
Oh how hard it must be to leave,
"A sweetheart, young and fair,
But alas, the time come we believe,
That her sorrows yet he'll share.
We pray he can all harm dodge,
While to be soldier he has gone.
And God will DER him watch,
And again lead him safely home
Charles o. Shambach.-

and therefore 1t is preposterous for her
to claim under the act specially enact
ed for that purpose. And yet, we are
gravely told by commentators like
Blackstone that Christianity is inter-
woven with the law and constitution,
and forms a serious part of them. We
should be glad to know where it came
In In this instance. The rich Dowlais
Iron Company will have to be careful
Of the lives and limbs of their legiti-
mately born employees, but as for the
illegitimate they will probably hence
forth form the forlorn hope of their
works and of every other dangerous in-
dustry, and, in spite of the Workman's
Act, may be exposed to accidents with
the utmost recklessness without any
fear Of fines, mulcts, or compensation.
In this respect our legislators have
made a serious omission which should
be remedied without delay. They have
even retroceded from the elementary
principle of our Angle-Saxon forefath-
ers in which the "weregild" was paid
to the "natural" relatives of the de-
ceased, as is proved by "The Ancient
Laws Of England" published long ago
by the Record Commissioners.
At present the state of the law res
pecting bastardy and marriage with a
deceased wife's sister, is scandal to
England as an intelligent and Christian
country. The two cases mentioned
will be multiplied u th0usandfold. Ar
tificial ties are hereby declared to be
superior to natural ones, so that son
is no relation of his mothers, nor
a husband of his wifes. The whole
thing Is too indecently tolerated, too
cruel to be passed unnoticed, and too
mischevous to be continued. We pro-
tested against it again and again, and
have kind word to say for the illegi.
Inmates in our latest work, "The Chill.
dren ofScorn." We appeal to every
true-hearted man and woman to join
in our crusade against social injustice
and the oppression Of the poor. Nor do
we offer any apology for returning to
the subject again in this paper, for so
long as the bleeding hearts of mothers
and wives are wounded afresh by the
iniIuitiee of depraved and nonsirous
laws, we shall continue to appeal and
pray for Justice.

ROUsH.


Charles Roush, An aged citizen Of
Freeburs, departed this life on Monday
morning, March "a. from consumption,
after an illness covering six months OF
more. He was aged 70 years, 8 months
and II days.
He was born in Penn township, June
Is, 1872, and baptized August ", 1922,
by the Rev. Mr.. Schmidt. He was
confirmed In the Lutheran faith by the
Rev. Q. G. Miller, at his own request,
shortly before he died. He was married
TO Matilda, daughter of the late Jona-
than 6traut, which union was blest
with four children, three sons and one
daughter, OF whom only the daughter,
Mrs. F. 8. Boyer, Of Lawton, Mich,
survive him.
The deceased was stone mason by
trade, and q fair mechanic, and was
known and worked as such over all the
nearby counties. There are u few
homes In Freeburg and vicinity which
have not some specimens of his handi-
work within their confines, but hunt
Ing and trapping was his chief delight,
and he roamed over all the montain-
GUS sections of this and adjoining
counties in quest of game. 1t was a
rare time when his premises did not
shelter one or more wild specimens Of
his skill as trapper, and probably
there was no one person of his time in
the county who prepared and sold more
pelts than he, the result of his success
as hunter.
The funeral took place Thursday
morning, and was conducted by Rev
C. g. Miller. J. H. Arbogast directed
the obsequies. Interment in L. h r.
Cemetery.
RIEGEL.
Lucy Edna, a daughter of Henry
Riegel, Of Washington township, dice
on Tuesday, aged 8 years. She hat
been sick with measles and pneumonia
set in and was the immediate cause O
her death. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. g. G. Miller. P. L
Hains directed the obsequies. Inter
ment In Fairview Cemetery Thursday
afternoon.

The above named resident Of Penn
township died last Wednesday and wa

Of Capt. George w. Ryan's company
+, 13lst, p. V. I. The deceased was ,
brave soldier and participated in tn
battles of Fredericksburg and Chanael
