SECOND OPERATION.
Mrs. Fannie Kendall Wilson, Of New
Wilmington, Had to Submit TO The
Knife the Second Time.

Mention was made a few weeks
ago in the News of the accident
that befell Mrs. Fannie Kendall
Wilson while IN the yard at their
barn milking the COWS. She was
run down by a COW, had a leg
broken, the surgeons had to cut
the flesh away, and splice the
bone with silver plates. This did
not prove successful, and she had
TO go back upon the table the
second time and have four luches
OF the bone removed, and the ends
held together by silver plates as
before. The second operation
took place on the 10th of this
month and she seems to be get.
ting along well now. 1t has been
a terrible ordeal, and she has the
sympathy Of her many Fulton
County relatives and friends.

More Red Cross Stamps.

The distribution of $4,000, 900
Red Cross stamps, to be sold all
over the United States during
the holiday season, will be made
from Washington, instead of, as
heretofore, from New York city.
The sale of these stamps Will
start mmediately after Thanks
giving. This years stamp has
been designed by Washington
artist. 1t has the appearance of
beng circular in shape, a heavy
red ring inclosing the entire de,
sign. In order to make the stamp
as unlike the government postage
stamps as possible, a winter
scene at night was selected as
the subject for the picture.
20 operation with the Postoffice
Department has resulted IN this
tew style of stamp, and it ls
hoped TO obviate most of the trou
ble that has been experienced in
the past, caused by persons who
got the idea that Red Cross
stamps were issued by the gov
ernment and were good for letter
postage. Particular stress Is
laid this year upon the fact that
these stamps cannot be placed
upon the face of a letter for post
age. No stamp but the govern.
ment postage stamp may be
placed on the side with the adj
dress. Red Cross stamps must
go on the back OF letters and pack
ages. 1t is hoped to realize
81, 100000 this year from the sale
of these seals.

How the War Veterans are Passing.

In hls annual report submitted
thls week, Commissioner Of Pen
slons Davenport, presents a SIM
plihed plan FOR the payment of
pensions without vouchers. Dur
ing the year little over three
million dollars less than the pre-
cedlng year were paid out for
pensions. The total payments
were a little over S157,O0O,OOO.
There were So, 1853 names drop
ped, leaving a net loss of 28,9S5
pensioners. The total number
at the end of the year was $780,.
09S, the smalled since 1892.
The number of soldiers and
sailors on the pension roll at the

$50; dependents and widows 321,.
642, and army nurses, 406. There
were 529,S64 survivors of the

the Civil War are now living, the
death rate of the Survivors now
slightly in excess of 6 per cent.

CriticiSing Your Parents.

AT certain stage in the life O.
many OF our young people they
fall into an unpleasant habit c
critlclslng their parents. Occas
lonal lapses in English, trivial er
rors in scholarshlp-historical
literary, scientific, or what not
old.fashloned ideas" in matters
of taste, dress, manners, and
social usages are freely comment
ed upon.
When daughters get to know
more than their mothers, and
sons begin to give points to their
fathers, there is friction IN the
family machinery which causes
many an unpleasant jar. This
does not mean that our young
folks are Intentionally rude and
ill-mannered, Such habits creep
upon them unconsciously. They
do not mean to be dlsloyal or un-
grateful to the parents whom
they really love devotedly. They
ere merely careless aud unthink.
ing in the matter.
On their side, the parents often
feel too deeply hurt by these
criticisms to demonstrate against
them. They suffer many indlg
nities'in silence when 1t would be
wiser to administer the deserved
rebuke.
Each generation enjoys privi-
leges unknown to the one preced.
lng-better school, large oppor.
tunltles for general culture, and |
a more complicated social life.
The sons and daughters who pro
fit by these good things have
their parents to thank for them.
1t would be "more becoming" In
them, as the old time phrase has
it, to remember their debt of
gratitude rather than to look for
blemishes.
The ideal relation between par.
ent and child Is that of perfect
comradeship. When parents
keep IN touch with their chill.
dren's interest, and children con.
dde freely in their parents, har-
mopy relgns in the home. Happy
the family whose daughters are
their mothers friends, and whose
sons are fathers chums.-North.

Political Advertisement.
FOR PROTHONOTARY.
An Open Letter TO the Voters of Fulton
County in the Interest
of II. W. Wink.

! w uSu you ~ llJO JuG
booth at the election house on the
seventh day of November, and
spread out the big ballot before
you; right under the head Pro.
thonotary, Register Il Recorder,
and Clerk of the Courts, you will
see the name of Henry Wlshart
Wink, aud If you want to help
along deserving citizen, who is
10 every way capable of filing the
office, you will just mark an X
right PLAIN IN the square opposite
his name and that will help to do
the business.
Owing to the fact that Mr..
Wink did not spend the summer
IN travelling over the County, and
may not be as well known as
some men, | feel 1t my duty to
the voters Of Fulton county to
give herewith the following facts:
II. w. Wink Is Al years of age.
He comes from one of Belfast
townships old and most highly
respected families. Like many
of Fulton County's successful
boys, he was born poor, and early
in life knew what 1T meant to
paddle his own canoe" Indus.
trious and frugal, he, by close at.
tention to study in the home
schools, saved money enough to
attend the Summer Normal
schools at tMcConnellsburg, where
he fitted himself to teach, and by
teaching in the winter and taking
that money to go to school IN the
summer, he was able to become
a professional teacher, and has
spent the last twenty two years
teachngm Fulton CountySchools
During this time he has mingled |
with the teachers from every
part of the county at the County
Institute, and is well known in
school circles all over the County.
The last eighteen years of his
ife have been spent in Thompson
township. However much good
IN earnest, faithful school teacher
nay do, he can not hope to be-
,ome millionaire, or even to do
more than make a bare living,
md grow to be a poor old man.
Mr.. Wink did not conceive the l
dea of being a candidate for pro
Monetary until his friends took
he matter up and secured the I
for HIM at the recent 9
primaries. Mr.. Wink is now i
'usy IN the school room every
lay and has no time to go around t
he county to solicit votes. Hence, c
he only way by which the atten. t
ion of voters of this county may L
e called to his candudacy is the v
etter now being published IN the r
JEWS and paid for at regular ad.
rates. |,
No man dare say that Mr.. Wink Il
not as well qualified and cap t
ble as any other man who has a
one INTO that office during the 1
asst history of the county, and fl
e is right in the prime of life. 81
Ie is man of lrreproachable |
haracter, pleasing address, care II
ii in his business, and free from il
bjectlonabie habits. So that IN G
laclng Mr.. Wink into that posi- b
on the Office will have o careful
nd capable officer; and the Office o.
Inch is the best paying position C,
/ the County will come in good k
, a deserving poor man. d
