 This condition was decided upon by the town fathers as necessary to the future progress and well being of the town. To enable them to load up the little town with 9O,O0O pounds of pig iron, an antique safe inadequate in every way to the growing needs; al- so heap of lumber to cover the same, the outfit costing nearly as much as the entire reconstruction, as stated above. Those who fought for the im- provement have their judgment more than supported by the conditions since. trust the people of Bethlehem are at this time awake to the fact that poor judgment combined with selfish greed for ones own advancement, regardless of the public good, has brought the fi- nanceS of the town to the lowest ebb, without value received. This deplor- able condition has only been reached by those who held power by the offer of little patronage, etc. The people of Bethlehem who have the good of the commonwealth at heart must rise in their might, complete the good work begun, last fall, and throw off forever the flaming mantle of cOrrup- tion. Efface party lines, and join for ceS and follow the beautiful star of justice in all it's soft glow, leading to a brighter day and more hopeful future. -ICOntributOr.

DIR, KENNEDY'S Av0RITE
 REMEDY
Breaks no Hearts, k
 no Crimes.

Dr. David kennedy's FAVOR1TE REM EDY is not a disguised enemy of the human race; wher, it cannot help, it does not harm. It is composed of vegetable ingre- dients and does not heat or inflame the blood but coo!> and purifies it. In all cases of Kidney troubles, Liver complaints, Con- stipation of tie Bowels, and the delicate Arrangements which afflict women, the ac- tion of Dr. Kennedy's FAVORITE REM EDY is beyond praise. Thousands of grateful people voluntarily testify to this, in letters to Dr. Kennedy; and with a warmth and fullness of words which mere business certificates never possess. It makes no drunkards-eXcuses no crimes breaks no hearts. In its coming there is hope, and in its wings there is healing. We challenge a trial and are confident of the result. Your druggist has it. ONE DOLLAR a Bottle. Bear in mind the name and address: Dr. Dorid KENNEDY, Rondout, New York.

Although the continued unsatisfac-
tory weather has been a subject of
complaint among the farmers in this
county, it appears that it is not such
difficult problem as the scarcity Of
help. Never before in the history OF
this State has the help question been
so difficult for farmers to solve. 1t is
almost impossible to hire men to work
on farms at haying. etc, and today the
farmers are offering $3.50 day and
board to willing. able men, whereas II
was only n few years ago that $50 4
month and found was considered a
very fair wage for farm help. 1t Is
said that the western states employ
agents throughout New England to in
duce men to go to Kansas, Missouri,
the Dakotas etc, to work In the wheat
fields, offering seemingly unheard OF
high wages and this may account Tor
the local conditions.
