in the M. IL. Church.. at this place,
which promises good results and
have thus far surpassed any former
efforts in this village for years, in
affecting humanity and bringing
repuntant souls before the throne OF
the Maker in search of new life, a
lie that gives peace and happiness
for that of sadness wrought by the
blight of evil. 1t would seem rs
though LaPorte's Messiah had come
in the person of Rev. Ripple. He
has a faith that cannot be concealed
and he imparts it with such force ana
energy that when he steps to the
pulpit, it is IA signal for things to be
turned upside down, in the fervor of
his presentation of the saving power
of Christ. TactfuI in delivering and
soundness of reasoning, fills the NJ. T..
Church nightly to hear and believe
in the utterance of Rev. Ripple who
is hard worker and a brave leader
who dares stand true tosGod in doing
full Justice to his calling. There is
an air of religious contagion at the
old county seat, that is felt by
everyone. Gu II hear Mr.. Ripple
and get thoroughly inoculated.
Help spread the germs Of IA disease
that will do the inhabitants of town
a world of good.
The fair minded men of Cherry
t0Wnshsp do not want injustice done
to the other sections of the county
in the make up of the Board. of
County Commissioners. Having
had the controlling members Of the
Board for the last three years, they
feel that one Commissioner is all
they can justly ask for during the
next three years. The voters in the
rest Of the county feel the same way,
and it is well settled that only one
of the nominees in Cherry township
will be elected. 1t is for the voters
of that to nship TO decide which
nominee they will elect.
Let the friends Of McCarty and
Bennett pull hard on the day of
election. A long pull, and strong
pull, and a pull altogether will
bring them both through. Let there
be no half way work on COmmias-
toner's. The county finances cannot
be safely intrusted to the inefficient
men nominated by the Ring.
Democracy is no longer the sym
boil of what they now call the Dem
ocratic party. The so-caIled Demo-
cratic party as it now exists in Penn
sylvania, may properly be called Il
DemoProhibition party. A regu-
larly nominated Prohibition candi-
date has been embraced in the
Democratic ticket and will be print
ed as their official candidate. Won't
it be funny to see Landlord Gallag-
her voting tor part of the Prohibi-
ton State ticket? How is it with
you Boss of the Herald? Are you so
far reformed that you can vote for
Berry?
Eltruda j. Botsford, eldest dgught-
er of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. +. Botsford,
Of Nordmont, died on Saturday after
a short illness resulting from vacci-
nation. She was aged 10 years and
10 days. Truda, as she was called
by her friends and schoolmates, was
"A bright and lovable child, and al
though taken While yet in innocense
and purity, her death is deeply de-
plored by all who knew her. The
funeral was held on Monday.
Because of the scarcity of work
men, western railroads bave been
forced to raise wages. Freight
truckers, switchmen, section men
and clerks are benefited by the in
crease, which amounts to an average
of So per month.
The government irrigation con
tractors, as we'll as the great amount
Of railroad building going On in the
western states, have taken all the
workmen, farmers are paying in
creased wages for corn husllers and
clerks are needed at all the western
railroad headquarters.
