Our old time friend George
Finniff, Sr., of Todd township,
called at the News Office Tuesday
to arrange for the advertisement
of his sale, which will take place
on the 1lCh of Novem Der. Mr..
and Mrs. Fiuniff, two mighty nice
old people, have come down to
that time in life, when they think
1t best to break up housekeeping
and spend the remainder of their
days among their children. Be
sides those IN this county, they
have one son living in lIagers =
town, one IN Cham bersburg, a
daughter in Newvllle, son in
Pittsburg, a daughter IN the
West-and so, by the time they
get around among them all, they
will have had a pretty long and
very interesting, and If their
health keeps good, very pleas
ant visit, both TO themselves and
their children. Mr.. Finnlff ia
one OF those men identified with
Falton county in Its infancy; for
he served ON one of the first jur.
les, and has served his township
as supervisor agreat many terms.

GET KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW.
Ignorance of The Law Will Not Excuse
Anyone From Punishment.

Ignorance Of the law excuses
on one. Ignorance OF the Truth
and what is right is no excuse for
dong what is wrong. 1t is a fact
that some knowledge of the laws
which govern the soc ETY. in which
we live is not only indispensable
to the welfare of every citizen of
our community but is a proper
accomplishment of every man or
woman whether a great scholar
or not.
All ought to know enough of
law to avoid its penalties and reap
the benefit of It's observance. In
a country like this, where the
people participate IN public af
fairs, it becomes almost neces
sary, in order to secure our indl
vldual rights, that we have an ele
mentary knowledge of the law by
which we are governed. This
being the case, our bo.s and
young men, and girls and young
ladies' for that matter too, should
study the first principles of the
foundation of our government
the Constitution OF the United
States of Amerlca-upon which
is based the other constitutions
of the states and the laws of our
land. Then Will they be better
prepared to comprehend the ele
ments of law necessary for a cor
rect understanding of their rights
and duties. Some people appear
to think it is theirs to do as they
please and then take the chances
of the law being so twisted as to
exOnorate them from any guilt.
The greater portion of the
crimes of today exist to the ex.
tent TO which they do from the
fact that the parties committing
them are ignorant of the law or
that they think the power to evade
the punishment is IN their favor.
II our young people would get
a copy of the Constitution, land
in fact some older ones too, OF
the United States and study ii
thoroughly, they might have a
different opinion of the law and OF
themselves as Its subjects. There
Is no citizen so good citizen as
the one who abides by the law.

Peach Trees Damaged by Beetles.

Samples of bark from peach
trees, two and three years old,
were received from York county
at the Division of Zoology, De
partment of Agriculture, IIar-
rlsburg, with the information that
gum is exudlng from the
trunks and limbs of the trees.
Answering the letter which ac.
companled the samples, Profess
or Surface said;
Replying to your recent let
ter, / beg to say that the bark of
your peach tree, which you sent,
has been injured by the fruit
bark beetle or shot hole borer.
The thing to do for these trees is
to cut them back severely this
winter alter the lea res drop, aud
next spring fertllize them, giving
them plenty of plant food; culti-
vate them, and make them grow
as strongly as possible. Spray
them with the boiled lime. .sulfur
wash this winter while they are
dormant. Wash the trunks with
lime sulfur wash now, and mound
the soil around them to a height
of nearly f ,ot. When the buds
are swelling in the spring, spray
tbem again with the boiled lime
sulfur wash, and about the mid.
die of next June, wash or spray
the trunks only with lime-sulfur
wash, and mound the earth about
one half foot around them to keep
the borers out. Cut out the
worms from the trees now, so
that there will be no worms in
them during the winter time.
This Is the best treatment possi-
BILE for damaged peach trees. |
do not recommend cutting them
beck now when IN leaf, because
too much of the nourishment
which has been elaborated this
summer will be removed by cut
ting back at this time"

FIRST EXCURSION.
On New Fulton County Railroad, Ran Last
Sunday From Wells Tannery Across
the Old BrOadtop Mountain.

The peaceful quiet of Sabbath
morning that has reigned for so
many years in Wells Valley, was
last Sunday broken by the whls-
tie of the LOGON )tive, carrying
train load of about one hundred
excurslonlsts from WellsTaunery
station, on the new railroad, up
and across the Broadtop noun
tam. The weather was perfect,
and as the train wended it's way
up the mountain side, switching
back and forth to overcome the
grade, the view ever the sur
rounding lowlands was fine, and
the tinted leaves on the trees,
more beautiful than the most ar
tistic painter could produce, made
the trip all the more charming.
The train left Wells Tannery
at $3.50, a. M, and arrived at
Glenside on schedule time, 9:45.
The air on the top of the noun
tain was braciug and it's invigor-
atlng influence sent the blood
tingling through the veins of the
older members Of the party until
they felt they had found the
grand panacea for the restoration
of perpetual youth.
Too much cannot be SAID for
the courtesy of the management,
and their thoughtfulness for the
comfort and safety of their pa
irons. AS an example,; AS the
engine was putting up the noun
tain, and the train was worming
its way doing its best not to lose
sight of the engineer, the pass
engers were startled by a heart
rendlng cry, and, at once, every
body concluded that some one
had fallen off and had been crush
ed beneath the cruel wheels OF
the coaches. The conductor
pulled on the bell rope, the emer.
gency brake was instantly ap-
Piled by the engineer, and the
train came to dead stop. Quick
ly an investigation was made,
when 1t was found that some fel,
lows hat had blown off. The
flagman was sent to recover the
hat, and the owner was soon made
happy by having the tile replaced
on his pate.
The excursionists were all
guests of the Rightley Bros. &
Co., who own and operate the
road, and the eXcurslonlsts take
this method IN expressing their
appreciation OF the courtesy thus
extended, and wish them abund-
ant success in their enterprise.
