Joyful Johnstown wants Somer-
set county milk at 13 cents per gal
lon and Somerset county water for
nothing. Sulky Somerset kicks;
and righteously, too. How can the
honest farmer sell his milk at cut
rates without plenty of water?-
Connellsville Courier.
The printing of the assessment
list of properties should not be
abandoned. The cost is very small

is assessed, it will not be long un-

Record.

If a man were goaded to his best
only by what he has accomplished

work. What we ought to be or long
to be is a bit higher than what we
are. Woe betide him who disturbs
our vision!-Titusville Herald

Samaritan did more than pour oil

the traveler-he gave the sunshine
of life, courage and love.-Bristol
Courier.
