Golden Wedding.

Notwithstanding the threatening
weather of Tuesday morning, October
2nd. many people were seen vending
their way to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. w. Badger of Concord twp, where
friends and neighbors, to the number of
about three hundred, met to celebrate
the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs Badger, and the day
proved to be model one for such a
meeting.
The forenoon was passed in the usual
way-social conversation and hand
shaking One beautiful part of the
meeting was the presence of two
neighboring schools At noon the
children headed by their teachers
Miss Flemming and Miss Wick, marched
into the yard singing America" after
which came that welcome annouce-
ment Dinner is ready"
After the older people were all seated
Rev. w. FL. Sloan called them to order
and Rev. J. FL. Braden asked a blessing
All seemed to enjoy the excellent dinner
which the good women had prepared,
and one was forced to believe that the
heads of the young chickens were not
spared Some were heard to remark
that the family physician would get the
most benefit from there suits of such
a dinner.
After dinner the meeting was called
to order by Rev. J. H. Braden; O. K.
Thorne was elected chairman and S. B.
Badger, secretary.
On taking the chair Mr.. Thorne made
few remarks and then called on Rev
Braden, the pastor of the family, who
responded in an interesting speech
which, though spiced with humor, con
tanned some excellent advice to all, es-
pecially those contemplating marriage.
Rev, Sloan was next called, His talk
was very good-along the line to live
right means to die right
Mr.. w. g. Findley of Butler gave an
interesting talk, and in behalf of Mr..
and Mrs. Badger he extended to all n
hearty welcome.
Short speeches were made by J. M.
Badger. Mrs. Ida Dutter and others
Miss Jessie Badger and Miss Olive
Badger responded by each reciting a
recitation.
The Misses Nora Flemming and
Gertrude Wick sang al interesting
song about school teaching.
We were then entertained by recita-
tions by the teacher and pupils of the
two schools, and after singing "Twi-
light is Stealing" Rev. -Sloau led in
prayer and dismissed us with the bene-
diction
Mr.. and Mrs. Badger received some
very nice and useful presents, among
which was purse of gold presented by
their children
AS night approached gooodbyes were
said with best wishes for the couple IN
whose honor we met. u.

End of the Nj. f. Conference.

Sunday evening the anniversary of
the Missionary Society of the Confer
ence was held and nearly one thousand
people crowded the NJ. E. church for
the service Rev. Joseph Horner,
treasurer, read his report, showing that
during the past year S64, 900 was con-
tributed in the Pittsburg Conference,
an increase of $4,000 over the preceding
year. Officers of the Society were
elected as follows: President. Rev. ID.
L. Johnston, Butler; Vice Presidents,
Rev. J. B. Taylor Waynesburg and
Hon. 4. g. Williams, Butler; Secretary,
Rev. H. A. Baum, Swissvale, and
treasurer. DR.. Horner. Rev. a. Is.
Leonard of the Board of Foreign
Missions, who spent year as pastor OF
the Butler NJ E. church during the
darkest period of the War OF the Re
bellion, made the address of the even
ing. Rev Leonard recalled some OF his
experiences IN Butler, when he was
very outspoken in his denunciation OF
"Copperheads, etc, and for an hour
and thirty minutes spoke on the theme,
Jesus Christ, the only Hope of the
World 1t is seldom that the people
of Butler have received as much lntor-
nation and as many good ideas from
one man in the same length of time.
Monday morning the last business
session was held. Rev. T. n. Eaton
presiding, while Bishop Goodsell was
putting the finishing touches on the Hst
of assignments The report of the per
manent Committee on Temperance
which had been referred back TO the
committee with caustic criticisms Sat
urday was called for, and the Com
mittee made practically the same re-
port over again, and for two hours
there followed one of the warmest dls-
cussions that ever took place IN any
Methodist Conference. The last resclu-
ton in the Committees report read as
follows:
Resolved, That while we do not pre-
sumo to dictate the political action OF
any man, leaving it to the Judgment
and conscience of such individual voter
to use his ballot where aud when he pc
lieves it will accomplish the most, tor
the destruction Of this enemy OF Goa
and humanity, nevertheless, III Is our
opinion that no Christian man should
allow his vote to be cast for any man or
set of men who oppose the prohioiiloh
of the liquor traffic; nor for any polltl-
cal boss, or men controlled by such'
who GEEK to hinder legislation in favor
of temperance and prohibition. nor any
man who is opposed to a local option
law for our great state, nor for any
man who places the church, the hos
pital, the school and the saloon on the
same level.
The reference to Emery was obvious,
and many members of the Conference
held it was dragging the church into
politics and should be stricken out
Others held that its adoption was the
only thing the church could do under
tine circumstances in justice to herself
There were motions to substitute, to
amend, to strike out, but all were lost
and the report, with the resolution IN
changed. was finally adopted. The
vote on striking out the reference to
Emery was 45 for, 1913 against.

Paint Adds altHe
to Property

For every dollars worth of
paint-good paint-you put Oh
your house, you add several
dollars to its value, for the dill
ference in price which properly
in good repair will bring ever
a shabby building is by 10
means measured by the actual
cost of the improvement.
In this calculation ve have
not included the insurance feat
ure-the saving of the property
from decay.
Good paint looks well, pro-
tects well, lasts well.
There are many limitations
of paint which do none of these
things, yet cost as much or
more than straight white lead
and linseed oil, the best paint.

REPUBLICAN TICKET,
POLITICAL.

Can iidate Stuart was given a hearty
reception and made favorable impres-
sion upon his large audience in Butler
last Friday night. He is man in the
prime of life and mental vigor, and ne
t,lked as such, and he probably mace
some votes by his appearance here.
He pledged his best efforts to enact
the Republican platform into laws OF
of the state, particularly as to the right
of trolley companies to carry frelgnt;
and. as to what n)w looks like the most
s.upendous robbery of the State Treas
ury since Tonnage Tax" days, he
pledged a thorough investigation and
the punishment of the offenders. 1t
"graft" can be fastened upon them.
His words were about as follows;
Whether the State capitol is entitled
to the high praise which has been ac-
corded il or not, if, in its construction
of furnishing. there has been any fraud
or wilful which to my
mind is almost the equivalent OF fraud
-surely there is no man but will agree
with me that those who have partlc1pat-
ed in or proiited by such fraud should
be met with prompt punishment. ana
also be compelled to make restitution.
III elected governor, | promise you, ful-
ly realizing the responsibility resting
upon me, that shall see that thor
ough investigation shall be made OF the
entire question.
The other speakers of the evening
were DR.. Showalter, vino presided;
candidates Murphy and Houck, j. f.
Burke and Alex MCDONNELL, all OF
whom were heartily applauded.
There will be fourteen party squares
on the official ballots for some of the
counties of the state, this year, and
among the rames pre-empted are Mitch
ell, Pennsylvania Blacksmith, Roose-
velt, Square Deal, Nomination Paper
Party, Senatorial, Judicial Reform,
Butler Republican and Federation.

Would Reduce Local Taxation For
Schools and Good Roads.
WANTS MORE MONEY OF STATE
Corporations Would Thus Contribute

Corporations Would Thus Contribute
More to Relieve Rural Burdens From
Individual Taxpayers.
Edwin S. Stuart, the Republican
nominee for governor, has made ten
strike by his advocacy of greater state
appropriations for public schools and
for the improvement of public roads.
He takes this stand with view to
relieving local taxation for these pur-
poses and to tighten the burdens Of
the individuals as regards taxation and
make the corporations contribute more
freely in these directions.
1t is well known that PENNSYLVANIA
collects more in taxes from corpora
tions than any other state in the
Union, and this in a measure will ac-
count for the fact that, besides meet
ing all of the ordinary expenses of the
state government, Pennsylvania was
enabled to build the new state capitol
and pay for it without having to levy
an additional tax or to borrow a single
dollar to do it.
Money for Schools and Roads.
Candidate Stuart, in commenting
Upon the subject of state taxation a
few nights ago, said:
while the farms and homes CT the
state have long been relieved from
taxation for stste purposes, they are
