Things are not always what they seem.

been hit by pretty extensive area OF rain

weather has seriously cut down the crops
Some sections have suffered much more
than others, while nearly all sections have
suffered more or less. Here in the Ohio
Valley we have been more fortunate than
most sections We will have enough and
tospare. Wewill get good prices for our sup
plies, and the farmers will come out ahead
on account Of these high prices. =
The acreage Of crops planted throughout
the country was very large last spring, and
while the product per acre has been much
reduced, yet between the increased plant
ing and the surplus Of old stock on hand
the country ut large will still have enough
and tosparc. Thereisgoing to benO distress
save in few limited areas that have sui
fered from special visitation OF fire, as up
in Michigan, and even these areas will be
cared for by the generosity OF the rest OF
the country,
A short crop with us does not bring
the distress in this country which it entail'
over the ocean. There, in many countries
it means famine. Here, II there Is a scarcity

EVIDENT MISTAKE.

Guiteau still insists that he was
''inspired by the Deity" to commit the
great crime he did. This is his own
theory and defence But it is very
evident, from all his acts and utter
ances, that he is quite mistaken as to
the source of his "inspiration." Were
he to substitute "devil" for "Deity" he
would have more believers and come
nearer the truth. That be was "mov-
ed and instigated by the devil'' is now
more clear than ever When on his
cross-examination he was cornered up
closely, be invariably fell back on his
inspiration" dodge. But all through
his evidence there is easily seen the
plan of devilish and cunning self will,
and there will be something wrong il
the jury does not convict him. He
comes fully up to the character the
law defines as moved by the devil, +"
and, therefore, to say he is inspired
by the Deity" is misnomer and a
slight misunderstanding on his part as
to the power that he was the "agent'

The Board is composed of Doctors j..
P. Hosack, r. M. Hope and j. w.

as once every two weeks. 1t is intend
ed not only for the accommodation of
the counties composing tho 28th Dis

convenience to the applicants for pen

of surgeons. The board was neces-
sarily all selected from Mercer. They
are men of standing and ability in
their profession, and we can guarantee
every applicant ordered before the
board full, fair and impartial hearing.

THE TINE NOW.

Hundreds of staunch but restive Re
publicans throughout the county were
dissuaded from voting for Wolfe, by
the plea that he was fighting his bat
tie outside the party, leaving the or
ganization, the machinery, the name,
and the prestige wholly with the
bosses. The election is now over, the
Republican candidate is elected, If but
by the "skin of the teeth" and the
time is now at hand when all true Re-
publicans can take up the fight, 1c'thafs
the lines, and make determined, persist
ent and unrelenting war upon the
practices and methods which have
heretofore obtained, and which have
placed the party in its present humlll-
ating attitude; and the point to begin
at now, is, to give our committeeman
in all the districts to understand, that
thew are the custodians for the time
being, of the party that they are ex-
pected to guard it's interests with hdel'
itv, and that when they come to Sc
lect delegates to the State Convention,
as they likely will before long, they
are to select representative Republi'
cans. who will seek to carry out the
wishes of their people, and not merely
those who, on their arrival at Har
risburg, will rush pell NELL to The
HEADQUARTERS of the bosses, and meekly
and breathlessly inquire what they
have for them to do.-Beauer Times
