James Gallup, of Northmoreland is under ball for desertion on a complaint made by his wife nee Corby. A detailed sketch of the eventful career of "Jimmy" "was presented In these columns the other day.

It is brought up now (for the purpose of adding the rumor that on Thursday at or before noon Jimmy will have enlisted in the regular army seeking a recruiting station at Wilkes-Barre. He is to engage to serve Uncle Sam for a period' of five years if they take him. The discipline Jimmy will gdb in the service may even at this late date do him good. It would have been a good thing for him at ithe outset of his ventures. Of course the bail for his appearance at January sessions, given by his sister Lillian, will have to be forfeited.

Complaint comes in from out of town of an alleged 'bill of expense the county commissioners have been, to in purchasing a huge ilag. Then complaint is made that it was allowed to be erected, swung to the breezes at a Republican meeting. The correspondent writes further saying that "it is time that this extravagance ceases between 'the soldiers monument, county bridge and Hags, the county is being made ra.pidly bankrupt. The county commissioners should be prosecuted for this excess cf zeal." There they go again. The monument was purchased after two grand Juries and two courts had said that it should 'be purchased.

The county bridge was bought after the court and viewers and grand jury had directed it bought and now comes this question of (lag raising at the county ex pense. So-me "Jaw Hawk" has seen a flag Hying in front of 'the court house and without, further iniformiiiir himself on the subject charged it up to the county commissioners. His mind has been chaiged by the tales carried about the county by arertain candidate for county oflice and excited by the bitter state ments contained in the Democratic par ty organ, and he goes about charging the llag as a bit of extravagance in line with county conimisisoners' work, 1 he flag that Is flying in front of the cojjrt house is an elegant object lesson and such a flag should 'belong to the county and be ever ready for display. It happens jus. now that the Hag is owned by the Republican party of Wyoming county.

It was presented to the 'party by the Republican state committee and at the occasion of the recent public meet ing held at the court house by the Re publicans, it was set afloat. And long may she wave. Doubtless the kickers don't care how much she waves so long as they haven't a cent invested in it If the county commissioners bought it at the expense of the county, it is differ ent. The kickers can afford to be pat riotlc when it don't cost htm a cent or jeopardize his life, limb or property- Just excuse the county commiseionesrs this time. Sheriff Gregory has 'been studying hu man nature to a purpose since he came over here from Mes'hoppen and took up the duties of the ollice of sheriff.

He came over litre filld with the milk of human kindness and might have had his name inscribed "as one who loved his fellow man." He carried along writs and cut down and thro wed off costs and seemed to forget that he ought to be holding the oflice for what there was in it, but his experience has been so varied and unsatisfactory that there is a wonder that he has not become hardened. There is one writ in mind that was Just closed up 'this week. Last December, in the midst of a winter, a writ was placed in Sheriff Gregory's hand against a poor man who had but little in sight. The sheriff made a trip through a snow storm to get over there to see tile chap. Two trips were made and costs ran up.

The writ was carried over from that time to this and the sheriff just felt sorry and did not add up bis costs and in fact shaved them out of sight. The other day he was called on at the county residence and called out an 1 abused up and down the bank and it is now a question if the sheriff lias not learned too much. Itev. S. A.

uch more, the editor' of The Presbyterian, and who died this week. married Miss Mary liurtis. a native of this place. Miss will be reni moored as having taught school here in the long building that stood just north of the old residence of Dr. John V.

Smith. Her father was an old-time clerk of Sherman 1). Phelps, who did a mercantile business back in the forties and iifins. Mr. Htirtis was buried here ami Mrs.

liurtis afterwards married Dr. of Waverly, Lackawanna county. N'oxen is located over In the corner of the county and not far from the Luzerne county line. NToxen goes to Wilkes-Pa rre oftener thiin she dives to Ttinkhann.M'k. the county seat of Wyoming, tine reason for this is the fa.ct that the Harvey's Lake railroad passes through there and dally trains to and from Wllkea-Parre.

uingtey, of Hopbottcfm, and thirdly a Mr. Arnold of N. Y. Elias, Diana Green, reside in, Elm'Ira, N. Y.

Polly Ann, John. Patrick; Ezra, Sally Ann Howard; Jeremiah, Mary Thurbeir, and they now reside in Wisconsin; and Waltey. Thirteen children, and all lived to manhood and womanhood, and all married. Waltey, the objective subject! of this biographical sketch, married Leonard Carpenter, sixty-five years ago, and eettled down for life right where Mrs. Carpenter now lives.

The1 matrimonial knut was tied by Rev. Oliver Phillips. Of their nine children, "there are now living: Orvilla Stanton of Scranton; Sarah Jane Reese of North Abington; Myra, who lives with her mother; Nelson married Ellen Tiffany; George and Myron of North Abington, and John who married Anna Ellis of Ddella, where they now reside. Leona.rd Carpenter died thirteen years ago last April. Nelson Carpenter's wife died last April.

Mrs. Carpenter, the old lady, is very deaf, hut aside fromi that she ia qudte well for a woman in her 8iid year. She ia being caired for by her kind and dutiful daughter, Myra. After I had linlshed my personal interview, the old lady remarked facetiously: "I think you'll have a pretty mess for your paper, if you print it all." THAT CHEW OF TOBACCO. A good story was recently told to me of the happy effect of a chew of tobacco.

Alljert Card of Nonth Abington purchased, a few years ago, of a Mrs. Tink-ham, a lot of timber that had blown down during a cyclonic wind storm. Before Card had removed all of tire timber he missed some of it and afterwards, on a certain day, caught a man by the name of Carey clandestinely appropriating a portion of the timber to his own individual use and bene lit. Card tella the story in his own peculiar style, as follows: "I went up inlo the woods oire day and found Carey there, and, know ing that he had token out props before and thinking 'that he w.rs after more, egad was man, ana wanna to nave an excuse to thrash him; so i began to call him haul names. I fired off my mouth right and left and abused him like the dure.

I tried to get him mad. ill ordier to make him slay or do something to me, so that I would have an to strike him and lick him. When my mad had i cached a pretty high pitch and I was shaking my fists front of his face, and very close to his nose, lie said to me, as cool as a cucumber: 'Say, Card, give me a chaw of His asking thalt favor of me, under th? circumstances, and the cool way in which he did it, took the whack all out of me, and as I had never, up to that time, refused a man a chaw of tobacco, I handed the cool-headed cuss my box and told him. 'to take a big chaw, and he did. He tiHik a whopper an then we soon settled the timber trouble." JOHN I.

POTTER'S RANDOM SHOT. Last Saturday I drove up in front of John I. Potter's barn and he, being in-siide, soon came to Ithe door, and when he saw who it was out. there, he said: "It beat the Old Harry what sights a man "ill see when In don't have his gun with him." I saw the point and felt ii too. John PotUT is a sort of a diamond In the rough.

He is not what mi-nt be termed a handsome man, but is a plain, blunt man; not, by no means, devoid of for the sufferings of his fellow-beings and possessing a g-oodlv degree of vhariiy for his friends and nelgnbors. At hast that is the opinion of his old schoolmate, L. P. GREEN. Abington, Nov.

They lose all ambition and give themselves up to despair. Their condition may be the result of habits, or indiscretions, or it may lie to a certain extent inherited, but ih re is compensation in Nature and these ills are curable.
