"A truth from the Franklin News:
Small boys need no board walk or other
Atlantic City attractions to make 1t possi-
BILE for them to enjoy bathing and all the
delights of a shore life. Perhaps thoy are
wiser than we who will not profit by the
opportunities at our door, but must go
long distances in smoke and dirt and
heat to enjoy what the children find close
at hand.
The contest for President Judge In
VeDango county Is between two candi-
dates-the present incumbent, Judge
Criswell, and Robert f. Glenn, who was
nominated by the Democrats and in

the "wet or dry" sort, and will doubtless
be warm one at least.

Judging from the following item
from the Brook vile Democrat that town
is threatened with an epidemic oftyphoid
fever: "There is no cause for fright on
account of typhoid fever in Bro0kville.
So far as we have been able to learn there
are only few cases, four or five, and all
are very mild ones. There seems 10 be
no danger of a fever epidemic at all. The
few who are sick are all getting along
nicely, and we believe the disease will
disappear in few weeks"
An unknown and peculiar disease
has broken out among the horses in GER
tain parts of the country and the veterl-
narisns are at loss how to treat them or
what is the cause of the aiiiiction. The
disease, If it might be so termed, resem-
bes a severe attack of the heaves, with a
loud rattle in the throat. The animal is
Frustrated and might as well be dead, as
it is useless TO the owner. The State
Veterinarian is unable to offer relief and
owners of afflicted animals are greatly
worried.
The Oil City races were the best ever
held on that track, Frank Yokum, one of
the speedy horses, making a new mile
record for the half mile track, going the
mile in 2:O69, beating Fife Powers time
of 2:OSi. Many from this section attend
ed the races and were well pleased with
the interesting sport. Visitors to the
grounds noted with much satisfaction the
absence of all gambling devices and
gratis, and pickpockets were given the
run early in the game and made them
selves scarce during the week.
We have Just received copy of the
New Education, published by the Mead
vile Commercial College in the interest
of business education. The new number
is nicely gotten up and contains num-
ber of articles that should prove of inter-
est to those who believe in an education
that has money value. The College has
taken additional space, and the rooms are
being renovated throughout. The out
look for this year is very encouraging,
and the advance registration indicates a
larger enrolment than ever before.
The funny ~ man who does the base
ball for the Youugsville Citizen, at the
end of long article in answer to our re-
marks last week on the Tionesta- Youngs-
vile game, makes the tin-horn sports
bluff about wanting to play on a neutral
ground, for the 'gste receipts and any
side bet that is desired" The Tionesta
manager desires us to say that if Youngs-
Vile wants to come to Tionesta for re-
turn game and desires to play a gentle
mans game they will be accommodated,
for we know how to do that. Now come
on, if you haven't got cold feet.
