THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1893. We want a hundred new names in the next few weeks. Can you send one? The Adminstration declaration that a new man is better than an old one, is so limited in its application as not to apply to a second term for the Presidency.—Pittsburg Press. Official heads are not falling off very rapidly under the ne.w Cleveland administration much to the disgust of many would-be office-holders who have gone to Washington to press their claims. Verily, ‘‘hope deferred tnaketh the heart sick.” Cleveland's edict not to appoint editors to office has thrown consternation into the ranks of many wielders of the pen and scissors who hope for favor at the hands of the adminstration. The consternation has reached their readers, also, who hoped they would make office-holders than editors. But fate is against them both. Can't something done toward improving the sidewalks of Hope as spring opens? It is anything but: pleasant to pursue the uneven, up-and-down tenor of one s way as he passes along most of our streets. With so much good stone almost at hand, and with brick made in our midst, it is almost a disgrace to submit to the rough patchwork which passes for sidewalks in Hope. We call attention to an extract from the Knights of Labor Journal in another column. It shows one side of the greatest problem that now confronts our nation No one will question that the consolidation lias its disadvantages as well as its advantages; and these deserve careful thought. Do not the advantages exceed the disadvantages? Consolidated industry is able to give to the world from the same amount of labor a better product and in larger quantities than the old plan. This ought to make the product cheaper and in most instances it does have this effect finally. If not cheaper in actual cash price, cheaper when the quality of the article is considered. Too often the greed for gain overcomes this tendency and forces an exorbitant prices. How to overcome this greed is the question. Now doth the little busy bee Rejoice that sprint? Is coming; He soon will don his working clothes, Aud business will be humming. —Defiance News. Do you lack faitli and love health?

Last Friday Simon Nading and Paul Dronberger acred as the committee for counting the seeds in the pumpkin at Nigh's grocery. The number was 579.

THE FLOCK Til 1.1.. A meeting of those interested in the flour mill was held Monday morning, and it was decided to build a mill on the old site provided a switch can be built down Walnut street to connect it wiih the railroad. This throws a large share of the responsibility upon a portion of our citizens. We cannot afford to allow this opportunity to pass for it is probably the best proposition the town will have for many a day. The men who are backing the movement are Simon Nading, C. M. Handley, Jas. Handley, R. D. Stam and R. E. Dyer. These men are all well known here as reliable business men. Our citizens cannot aflord to act selfishly in their treatment of this movement except it be that larger selfishness which looks to the interest of the entire town. Other towns are offering liberal inducements and if Hope ever expects to obtain anything for herself she must do it now. Our laterary Work. A paper read before the last meeting of the Hope School Literary Society by John Kliynerson. The “Hope High School Literary Society” originated in 1891, during the term that Mr. L. D. Griffin was principal of this schoool; and has been revised this winter until it is an ornament to the school and an exercise in which all its members are proud to take part. Before the literary society was created, it had been customary to have some sort of literary exercise ever\ r few weeks and there was much difficulty in getting the scholars to perform the duties assigned them. It was thought that if the scholars were given the management of these affairs and held responsible for the manner in which they were performed that their pride and sense of duty would cause them to make it a success. It was intended the exercise of the society should be such as would make its members familiar with parliamentary usages and give them a clear idea of the duties of presiding officers of an assembly. A literary society was organized in order that its members might be taught to write debates, essays and compositions and to express their opinions on any given subject. The member who has been in good standing can not fail to rank high in the society of the world, for soon as literary pursuits are absent from a society it becomes bad society; and the better the society the higher the standard of literature of those who compose it. It has been the aim oi this society at all times to elevate the minds of its members, and to entertain any visitors who might think enough of it to be present at its meetings. While the doings of the society have not always been strictly parliamentary yet it has been the intention of its members to preserve the formality and deliberation which are necessary to good results, whether or not the society has been of benefit to its members and has raised the standard of scholarship in this institution is not to be stated here. Next year now members will enter the society, with new ideas and fresh ambitions and there is no reason it should not be continued next term with vigor and success. Perhaps we may not all be here, but there will be others like us. ready to advance the interest of the society. And as we drift away into the busy cares of life, it is to hoped that we will carry witli us some of the good things we have learned aud forever forget the bad ones.

S. Stapp & Son. Bills have been printed by this office for a play to be given in the Arcade hall next Saturday evening. The play is entitled the “Stolen Will,” and promises to be lively and interesting throughout. The Nauon Dramatic Club, of Burneys, render the play. Let’s give them a good house. Quite an excitement was caused last Thursday morning for a few minutes when the cry of fire was sounded on our streets. It proved to be Capt. Aikin’s smoke house where he had a number of hams preparing for future use. The loss on meat amounted to about $25; and on ropes, etc., in the building about $10. My left arm was lame and painful all last summer from rheumatism; last fall I suffered from a persistent pain in my back in the region of kidneys; fearing my kidneys were affected I commenced taking K. E. N. T. S. When I had taken three bottles I found I had been completely cured of both troubles. My surprise was great as I hadn't thought of it curing my arm; have, had no symptom of either trouble since. It surely is an efficacious remedy. Henry Stultz. Hope, Mch. 1, 1893. Stapp & Son.
