Brotherhood.

Now the campaign is over and the
election is over, and unite in general
thanksgiving for the year 1910, is over.
The political differences in the minds
of men should be dropped.
Remembering that each individual
has. right to their opinion, whether
right or wrong. Time will tell who
was in the right.
After the recent election many were
disappointed in their defeat, while on
the other hand the elected ones were
rejoicing over their victory. Now
these conflicting parties live here to-
gether and have one common interest
in the upbuilding of the community
and towns for the betterment of all
concerned. Now as to the newly elect
ed officers. Let us hope that they
will do their duty in the capacity of
their official duties. Every loyal and
true citizen should encourage them to
that end, by so doing you exercise a
spirit of upbuilding not to tare down.
There never will be time when we
can say that we are independent of
one another. 1t has been said that a
house divided against itself cannot
stand That is very true in way.
There is nothing gained by strife and
controversy. We should not continue
to nurse our petty notions so as to lose
our sense of brotherhood.
In order to maintain brotherIy kind
ness to one another, forget the party
Iunpleasantness and unkind feeling and
look forward to better enforcement of
laws and cleaner government and clean
record for the incoming year.
Let brotherly love continue" Heb.

JOHN SEARS, MULATO
CONFESSES TO MURDER

Trenton, N. j.. Nov 26.-John Sears,
the mulatto, confessed yesterday that
he shot to death the Rev. Amzi L.
Armstrong, the aged Presbyterian
clergyman. and his wife at Dutch Neck
Wednesday night Immediately follow
ing the confession came the declara-
tion that he is the heir to practically
all the wealthy minister's property.
This assertion was made by relatives
who had knowledge of the will of the
minister.
It was believed that in his confession
to. Prosecutor Crossley he gave the
name of his father and white relatives.
Mr.. Crossley refuses to make public
anything contained in the confession
1t is known that revenge and impa-
tience because the long life of the min
lister precluded the mulatto from en-
joying the large estate were the chief
motives for the crime. The mulatto
had brooded over the wealth that was
to come to him. His poverty and the
possibility of inheriting so much
money worked together on his mind
so that when he got into an alteration
on Wednesday afternoon with the min
lister and was struck on the head for
his impertin ence he quickly planned
the murder of both his benefactor and
wife.
The mulatto confessed after he broke
under the strain of attempting to ex-
plain how he had come into possession
of watch and money known to have
been the property of Mr. Armstrong.
These were found in his pockets. At
first he denied all knowledge of them,
saying he did not know anything about
the money or the watch. Then the
confession followed.
Sears had been reared by Mr.. Arm
strong. Mr.. Armstrong was pastor of
the Dutch Neck Presbyterian church
He had been prosperous and was di-
rectory of the First National bank of
Cranberry. In addition, his wife, whom
he married fifteen years ago, owned
much property.
