Thoughtless Trassfassars
With seeming indifference to
the rights ot the property owners
people go blundering over private enclosures as though tbey
had all tbe license in tbe world.
This is altogether wrong snd
where property is posted the
rights ot the owner should be respected and persons retrain from
entering. In Antis township, as
well as elsewhere many of the
farmers have placarded their pro-
petty witb a plain request tbat
trespassing is not permitted, yet
men and boys aud others roam
over tbe land and apparently ignore the   request  not to  do so.
Many farmers ot the township
have complained about tbe utter
indifference of the . pablic to respect their rights. At the plant
ot the National Steel Construe
tion company, near tbe boroogb,
men and boys roam st will, pay
ing uo regard to the notices which
are placed on the land, and especially tbat of prohibiting fishing in tbe dam. It woald not be
surprising if the company would
some time invoke the aid of the
law and bring the guilty to justice.

Dr. Rothrock, known as the

old Juniata Valley physician, who
lived to pass tbe century mark.
