Last Wednesday evening a school tea* her from oue of the adjoining townships brought his pupils to this place for a sled ride. While here the teacher aud one of his patrons, who had aoeompanicd the children.indulged freely in liquor and when the time came for the departure of the sled for home they were scarcely a fit pair to be associated with a lot of school children. One would think such conduct should be beneath the dignity and respect of a teacher or a father. The following are the names of the Republican nominees for Big Run Borough: Burgess, W. T.

M. RUSH MBAJSS. Dr. Sadler In Florid* Until March Btb. Tlie doctor taken liis vacation in what he considers the wont season of the year, and consequently thtf leist inconvenience to his patients. He will out in his time at Mt. Dora, Fla., where he has some 45 acres of orange grove, and where his family reside most of the year on account of the much better health Mrs. Sadler enjoys there. That section is the highest in the State, very rolling, timbered with long leaf pine, interspread with palmetto and deciduous treea in ravine* and along creeks and around springi and lakes. Lakes with clear, sandy bottoms and pure water, and so thickly iuterspread an to give the name—Lake county. The doctor wooid bt living there now were it not "too healthy" for his bnsiness. When rial tine Florida don't forget Lake county. When your eyea or ean remind gon of Or. Sadtor. remember his re tarn, 'I We had an hour'* time to spare last week I aud thinking the readers of the Spirit would ' like to know ahout the •'Flickers," we attendj ed the meet iug and report as follows The Flickers are a society of hybrids who have a regular plaee of meeting which they cull the "nest." The most of them are single and those whom wonieu have been unfortunate to accept for better or for worse—have never hid any children—thank providenoe! The parents of these Flickers are all intelligent, respectable, good citisens, but with this progeny it seems the Devine Will intends to end this heterogenous amalgamation. "All thiufs work together for Rood.'* In is right that we should have these horrible examples and it is i good that the same Tine does not continue or we would get to look at it ss a fixed evil and tho effect would not be so good. The above are notes we made while the Flickers were gathering. At 2:13 o'clock the meeting was called to order by the president, who, at this time, is "Bob the Showman." Names are assigned to each member that cither describes their habits or the occupation they would favor if they should ever stoop so low as to be counted with those who labor. And these are the occupations they allow themselves to be assessed under, while they permit the jioliticlans to pay their taxes yea* after year bo they can vote. The minutes of the last meet' ing were then read and approved. A regular order of business was followed iu a way that would do credit to an organisation making some pretensions to better the condition of .mankind. "Corduroy" is the secretary st present. He is called Corduroy because his great-great-grandfather wore a corduroy suit in the war of 1812, and the family have wore this same kind of cloth ever since to* a sort of grey badge of courage. Next came balloting for new members. This is always done before the committees report, so that in case a memher is elected he can be assessed at once and the amouut credited on the keg for that day. The object of the society is to raise mouey > enough each day to buy a keg of beer for the use of said society. The committee ou keg was then called and reported "a keg in waiting in the wood*:tl»ov« the tow n *v*u;r works." The committee wis discharged with the thanks of the society, and the finance committee was called which reported a surplus of thirty-two cents in the treasury. One day, some months ago, the finance committee were short in their account* and did not have enough money on hands to buy a keg. The president declared a reeess at once until the deficiency was made up. Several good stories were told but space will not permit ns to give them to the readers this time. An ode entitled "Rally around the keg" was sung to an old familiar tune, and the meeting adjourned until 8:47 o'clock the next morning. There was $300 reward offered for Joseph Aiello's capture, and now every person who saw him from the time he left the jail until he returned wants the money. The Masons gave a banquet at the Ainer-' ican Hotel Monday night There were prominent Masons here from Itidgwuy,' Clarion and Punxsutawney. The town council are iiftrr 'telephone, telegraph anil electric light poles in great style. Kvorv pole will be tujed iifty cents a year. John M.
