The Judgment of Thousands
cannot be gainsaid, especially when it remains uncliangec year after year, and when ev¬ eryone to whom the subject is properly presented joins in up¬ holding it.
4,000
Emerson Pianos
are sold every year. Every one of chese would bring a testi¬ monial if it were asked for. Every one of 4,000 people know each year that the Emerson is as near perfection as it is now possible to make a niusical in¬ strument. They kuow about its beautiful, lasting tone, its artistic cases, its moderate price. Wouldn't you like to know about them, too ?
We Are Always Glad
to rent an Emerson Piano be¬ cause a sale almost surely fol¬ lows. When once the charm¬ ing tone-harmony—the beauti¬ ful case aud the exquisite, pli ant touch of an
Emerson Piano
have been possessed, the user is loath to have it leave the house. It sings its own praises and is its own best advertise ment. So far as we know there is not a single fault in it. W^€ have never seen a better pianc at any price.

John G. Davis, Auct. jan M-St
Mr. Hugh H. O'Neill, tie newly ap- poiDied postmaster of jRukintown, is one of Montifomery county's best known citizens. Born in tliis town March 19th, 1857, he is now in bis thirty eighth year, and from the time he reached his major¬ ity lias been one of our moat active and proeressive ritiz"iiH. Before coming of age he took an nctive part in politics and while not voting antil Itgilly entitled to do so, it was owing to his earnest work at that time recognized aa a force in local politics. Upon reaching his ini'j irily hig work was recognized by hia party workers and he was elected to the popition of apsessor, in whicii office he served four yeare. While serving aa assessor bis numerous qualities were recognized, and he was elected to Councils. In tliia position he served hie constituents with intelligence and faith¬ fulness for two terms of three years each and retired from the office with a repu¬ tation for progression tbat but few office holders poeaesa. In addition to the office of Councilman he waa also Deputy Coroner of Montgomery County for three years. In 1884 he waa nominated for the .\8Berublv and ran far ahead of hia ticket. In 1888 he was a candidate upon hia paity licket for the pot ition of tJounty Commissione', but was tlefeaied by a email mDJ irity.
In Bdiiition to his political career, which for a man of his age bas been not only varied but extensive, Mr. O'Neill has also been an active buainess man. In connection with his father, the late Felix O'Neill, be carried on the busineas of contractor und builder, and numerous evidences of Ins handicraft are to be fjund throughout Montgomery county. He ia preaidcmt of the Jenkintown Build¬ inp Association, to whicii position he hatl been elected fir eight years. He is also president of the Ojjoniz Land com¬ pany, a pr(j>ct he was largely instru¬ mental in forming, and which haa been tbe means of securing cheap and desir¬ able homes for a nnmt>er of former resi¬ dents of this vicinity and Philadelphia. He is alao an aclive member of a num¬ ber of beneficial socieiiea. Heisin every sense a public-spirited citizen and well deserves the honorable position be has seenred.
A word in relation to the narnbei and character of endort-ments Mr. O'Neill re¬ ceived for ttie position of poatmaater will not be ataiaa here, but will give an idea of the estimation in wliich he is held by "his fellow citi<4in. Kearly tw-»-tbirj8 ofi the citizens of Jenkintown, irrespective of party, including all the business people, were npon his application en¬ dorsing him for the position. In addi tinn to this, the Chairman. Edward F. Kane and every member of the County Committee of Montgomery county sign¬ ed for bim. He had letters to the Presi¬ dent and Postmaster General Bissel in hia behalf, from ull the prominent Democrats throughout the State, inclad¬ ing National Chairman Harrity, St tte Chairman James .K. Strannahan, National Dejegate I. Ht-ston Todd, Senator A, D, Markley, and Dr. Jobn Todd, and tie had the unanimous endorr-ement of the two Dem'icratic Ward Committees of Jenkintown. In fact no application for an office waa ever filed in Washington that contained more or stronger endors- menfs than the one file<l by Mr. O'Neill. Tbi.a is tbe best evidence of the estima¬ tion in which the man is held by those wbo know him beat. (_)nB of the pleas¬ ing features of the campaign which has jost ended by the appointment of Mr, O'Neill was the voluntary withdraw! from tlie ro.l cf the two gentlemen, Mr. William Nelson and Mr. H. N. Chiistie, who were computing with Mr. O'Neill for the honor. Mr. Cnrislie not only withdrew, but in a spirit of magnanim¬ ity wrote to Hie President afking for Mr. O'Neill's appointment. The position of postmaster in our growing town ia not only one of honor but also one that calls f>r tact and executive ability. We are certain that the new incumbent possesses both and will give the fillest .=atisfaction to those who have businesa relations with him. We sincerely wish him suc¬ cess. -V -V

This  change  is  said  to   have  been I
brought alwut by a wealthy  rtjsident of i
the vicinity of the city  line,  who tock ' passage on a  trolley car going north  a few days ago aud paid 6ve cents.   After
passing Branchtown  the conductor de- j
manded another five cents.   The paasen- -,
ger refused to pay.    "Then I shall  haye ^ to put you off," eaid tlie conductor.   "All right, put me off,"saii he; "1 understand all about tliis.   Your company has no right to charge two fares within (he city
limits under its charter."   The President -:
of the trolley company happened  to  be j
in the same car and overheard   the con- j
yersation.   In a few days the order came 1
to carry all passengers in Philadelphia to <
the city limits for fivo centa. >,

CtJ^Y AND  DIRT  ROAD3.
When rroporly Drained They Remain I>T7. Thc l'se of Road Machines.
AVhen gravel or sand cannot be ob¬ tained, tho improvement of a clay or dirt road is sometimes diflBcnlt A good tmderdrain may be laid along the cen¬ ter of the road and tho earth removed from the roadway to a depth ot atraat a foot at the center, from which point tbe excavation shoald rise by a gradnal sIox>e to each side. On the bottom of this excavation a layer or bed of hay, straw or coarse grasps should be laid to a depth of abont four inches (when com¬ pacted), anct the oorth shonld , then . be filled iu and formed to the trne <:hapa of tho roadway. Tbis method of treat¬ ment will tend to keep tbe roadway dry and prevent the formation of mnd.
Until within tho last few yeara we have known no way of "working" tbe conntry road except tho old, shiftless, slipshotl method of tinkering, in which the f.irmera have contri bat«d their half hearted labor and havo manied and plowed and hoed and scraped and paw-

Our friend John Jones, of Ixiwer G a y n- edd, is receiving the indersement of many jTominent business and profession¬ al men to his application for the position of trustee to tbe Norriatown Hospital for t le Insane. Mr. Jones is a gentleman of tbe hightst rank and ia in every way qualified for the position. Governor Habtiigs might go to the ends of the State aud not secure a better man than Mr. Jones, aod we hope he will appoint him.
The crossing of a telephone wire and the trolley wire on the York pike at Ogonlz last Friday was the cause of a good deal of trouble and vexation of spirit to those who desired to use the 'phone that morning, for the machines were badly out of trim and refused to re?pond to the numeroua "hnllos" that were hurled at them in rapid succession. It came near being a seriooa matter with Charles Leaf at Fort Washington, who attempted to talk to some one over the 'phone, not knowing the thing was loaded. InstAntly he received a shock tbat sent him reeling to the floor. One of hia hands was severely bnmed in several p'aoea.
Feraonally-Condiictecl Toura  via  Pennsyl- viuila Ilailruad.
Il is at Ihis season of the year that people'a tbongbts turn to sorae method by which the rigors of oar northern winter climate may be escaped, and a trip to the "Land of Flowers," if only ior a short time, offers the easiest solu¬ tion of the question.
In order to give the public an oppor¬ tunity to visit Florida at a very reason¬ able coet, the Pennsylvania Railroad company haa arranged fir a series of toura to lacksonville, and the well-earn¬ ed reputation acquired by the company for the superiority of its personally-con¬ ducted tours will be maintained for this year's series. Since the system of per- sonaiiy-conilucted toars inaugurated by that company has been in effect, none but words of commendation have befn received. It's unexcelled train aervice, experiecced Tourist Agents and Chaper ons, and above all, its moderate charges, leave nothing to h« deaired.
The tours to Jacksonville, allowing two weeks' stay in Florida, will leave New York and Philadelphia on Jannary 29, Febmarv 12 and 26,and March 12 aod 26, 1895. The rate, including transporta¬ tion, meals en route, and Pullmsn birth on special train, is $5000 from New York and $43.00 from Philadelphia; propor¬ tionate rates from other pointi?.

ed the earth into all sorts of senseless shapes in settlement of the road tax, and the chief reason why the dirt road has seen no improvement for 500 years is becanse no tmiform system of work has been followed and no machinery de¬ vised to do tho work qniokly and in a workmanlike and systematic way.
In the light of modem invention tbis escuso no longer exists, and we now iiave a means of carrying the dirt from dit-hci toward the crown of the road and distribnting it in a smooth and nni¬ fonn manner, so that the rainwater is carried from the center into the side ditches, and the wagon tracks may be kept comparatively dry.
A plow shonld not be nse/i in work¬ ing a dirt road except wben actnally necessary, becanse a plowed snrface is difiScnlt to make smooth and hard, and tie plow is likely to cnt too deeply into the eartli. AVe shonld by all means have a good road machine if possible. These machines aro sometimes called "scrap- era" aud sometimes "graders." There are several different forms of road ma¬ chines in market, and nearly all of them are good. "    ~    ' "^ ' "
