that he will live many years to enjoy
the beautiful home he has built"
Attorney E. J. Jones, of TAFT &
Jones, made very witty and clever
speech. Mr.. Jones is a recent addi-
ton to Bradford's citizenship, having
come here from st. Marys, Pa, and
purchased home on Pleasant street.
He told number of good stories that
had the merit of being unlike Chaun.
cey Depew's, in that they were not
covered with cob-webs, and then he
spoke eloquently of the importance of
the plain people. "The power behind
the throne" as he expressed it. 1t
was the plain people, he said, who had
made the nation what it is. Backed
by principles commended by the AL
mighty God they worked and fought,
and the present status of the United
States is the result of it. So long as
the plain people, backed by honest
principles, continue in the path which
they have trod since the birth of the
nation, just so long will America be
the leading nation of the earth, un-
conquered and unconquerable.
The Hon. II. III. North praised both
Mr., Dresser and the men for their part
in beautifying the city and aiding in
its upbuilding commercially, and said
each was entitled to a share of the
credit. II have known Mr.. Dresser
twenty years." said Mr.. North. II
knew him when he had little of these
worlds goods, and cannot see now,
when he has plenty, any difference in
him personally, than q score of years
ago. He is the same plain man, with
the same hearty word tor his acquaint-
ances, rich or poor. Success has not
spoiled him. He has worked hard and
faithful and the fruits of his work have
been garnered by steady, persistent,
honest effort He is man to pattern
after. What he has done he has done
we'll, which has always been his aim.
| expect that he will do even more for
Bradford. have no idea what that
will be, but I feel in may heart that
Mr.. Dresser has something stored
away for Bradford, which some day
will be given to it, and which will raise
him, even higher in the esteem of his
fellow citizens"
The guests sang "For He's Jolly
Good Fellow" and drank a toast in
honor of the host and departed after
spending pleasant and profitable
evening.

the feat, the ring slipped up to the lit

length measures one foot, and her long
dress is two feet long"

GENTLY generous to have justified the

A Word to Our Democratic Friends.

| am an american. While am not a
Prohibitionist, do not drink. | am in
full accord with the article in last
weeks PRESS, ''that the liquor traffic
should be properly controlled and that
saloons should not be allowed to sell
to men who have no self,control," and
| think that Mr.. Blumle should have
voted for that bill. He, of course,
dared not, in his business, vote against
the wishes of some greedy barkeepers.
While Mr.. Blumle himself is a nice
man, his is privileged business, and
the Democratic party should not ask
for unlimited privileges and allow their
county bosses to insult the good will of
the community by trying to force upon
it an out and out saloon ticket
Mr.. Cummings does not deserve any
special consideration from our people,
and Mr.. Blumle has had more offices
and more pay than any other man in
the county, and has no record in the
Legislature worth publishing. He re.
ceived not only FULL PAY for his last
term in the Legislature, but also re-
ceived about $8OO,OO for lawyers fees
and travelling expenses. The Republi-
can party presents Intelligent and
capable men as candidates from Mr..

Home Missionary Service.

DR. Pool preached very interesting
and uplifting sermon in the Presbyter-

cation, on the subject of Home Mis-
sions. He held the very closest atten-
ton OF all present from the beginning
to the end of his discourse. For six
teen years the secretary Of the Home
Mission Board of his church, his words
come home to the hearer as those of
an expert or an authority or this great
paramount need of our country-the
planting and growth of evangelical
churches in all this land of ours.

distinction between abuse and criti-
cism.

The Independent confesses frankly
that it has no use for intelligent dis.
cussions in a political campaign.
There are other methods which it con-
siders more potent.
The Independent evidently sees the
hand writing on the wall that the en-
tire Republican ticket, national, state
aud county, will carry Cameron by
from 300 to $50. The national ticket
may reach 500 majority.
A teacher asked her pupils if any of
them could tell where the home of the
swallow is. After a brief pause little
boy, in the back row, said, 81 know"
"Where is it, Tommy?" asked the
teacher. The reply came, "the stom-
ach."
An exchange remarks: Since the
chestnut timber and bark has become
feature of the tanning business, and is
being largely used for that purpose and
eagerly sought after by the tanneries,
the timber has raised wonderfully in
value, being picked up by large and
small spectators in every section
Farmers having chestnut timber on
their lands should consider themselves
fortunate, for an acre ofland containing
chestnut trees is often more valuable
than all the rest of the farm put to-
gether. 1t will be we'll for them to
look into the matter before selling their
timber to allow someone else to specu-
late upon. Young saplings are as good
as old trees and rapidly grow into
money if Left standing. Take good
care of your chestnut.
