Grier Shell of Centreville, an old hand at the business, was arrested and brought to jail for assault and battery with intent to commit rape. Miss Caroline Smith was the object of his vicious attack. Shell has been twice in the penitentiary.

First for the same offence he is now charged with, second for stealing meat. This is the third time he will appear before Judge McClure and it is probable the judge will favor a third term and a long one at that. A Family Man.

Co. Two Popular Hands. Snydor County Tribune. The Middleburg Comet band- which came to this place on Saturday even ing to play for the Dauntless Hook Ladder Company's Festival, Saturday evening last, gave our citizens a rare musical treat and one which they very greatly enjoyed. Snyder county, within the recollection of the writer, has had large number of baud organ izations, and not a few of tliein were distinguished for the excellency of the music rendered by tliein.

Of the num ber, two of the bunds acquired a state wide reputation; we refer to Feehrer's Silver Cornet Band of Selin's Drove, organized in tho latter part of the flD'n and which was iu its highest statu of musical perfection during the liOV This band enjoyed the distinction of beluga military organization and of serving iu the war of the Rebellion. The members of the band enlisted as musicians in the various companies of the 208th Regiment Pennsylvania Vols, and by this means were enabled to retain their unity of organization. They were principally retained at the head-quarters of McCaliuont's Brigade. After the war when General McCal-mont wn" a candidate for the nomination for J'lvernor, lie hired the band to play a i his head-quarters at Read ing. Thi at the time was considered the highest compliment ever paid the band.

Thu other organization of almost equal celebrity, was Stettler's Silver Cornet Band of Middleburg, organized early in the 70's, and at high-tide of its proficiency two da-ades ago. Of the first organization, Prof. Jos. H. Feehrer, its leader, and one of the best band-masters of his day in the State, Peter S.

Albert, Harris A. Rohrhbach and John J. Houseworth are about all who remain here, at least of the band as it was organized in the army, the others having either died or removal. Of the other organization, John I. Stettler, its leader, and a number of the other old members remain, with these as a nucleus, with other skilled and practiced musicians the Middleburg Cornet band has been re-orgau-lzed and from the rapid strides it Is making in proficiency It will soon rank -with the leading bands in the state.

Men have been carried to financial success by fortunate circumstances ov er which they had no control, and as long as the human race exists exam ples will be found of pure luck acting to shape seme men's careers.

The rule however, is that each must work out his own destiny, ai.d the men who are entitled to the highest credit for great things accomplished are those who have OMated condition by the Core of their own brains and hands. The best ultimate results are reached by those who have formed a definite purjHise and who have refused to be In fluenced by forces tending to turn them into any other road than that in which they had decided to travel. In all professions and iu all business this principle has illustrations, and it may bo said to be one of the basic laws of successful effort It is no bettor ex emplified than in advertising. The advertiser who Is spasmodic and unsystematic iu his methods is the man who is taking the long chances that good fortune may seek him out. The one who lays a dellnitc plan, who carries on a campuign of publicity fouded on logical principles, and who persists in the course lie lias determin ed to be right, is the man who creates a prestige for his goods and ultimately wins the reward his perseverance.

Dear Sir: Paint is one ol the things that Railroad Companies know all about. Do you know what "all about" means? It means, in paint, where to get it. We sell the paint for two-thirds of the cars and stations and bridges and everything else, that railroad men want to keep good-looking and sound, all over the country. A man who wants a gallon or two of paint knows nothing about it; buys whatever is handy, or gets some painter to "make" It. A Railroad Company asks its chem ist: "which is the The cheapest thing, to preserve or beautify anything with, is paint.

So tho whole world is painted; except, of course, the part of it owned by jxior slow folks. And the paint they use Is people's intelligence-meter: or ignorance-meter: tells how much or how little they know. Lead and oil has had its day. De- voe lead and zinc Is the paint, because it wears twice as long. Yours truly, 33 F.
