Our farmers have been very busy
for tAe last week in cutting the rich
harvest which Providence has merci-
fully bestowed upon the people of these
fair valleys. We hear but one report,
and that is that the grain is well filled
and that it stands thickly on the ground
in fact the best harvest the valleys
had these many years. Hay is over "a
bundant and corn promises well. There
is every prospect for an exceptionally
prolific year.

Our Miffiinburg friends held a
meeting one evening last week to make
arrangements for grand Harvest
Home Basket Picuic to be held near
that place, Thursday, August 23rd:
Judging from the formidable array of
committees it is to be big affair, but
what pleases us most is the following i
tenn in the proce edings
"Also moved and carried that the
Secretary be instructed to add namesof
persons from Centre county to thecom-
mittee of arrangements that may be
given him."
This indicates plainly that Centre
county will be invited to take part in
the great thanksgiving feast, and we
assure our brethren down the road that
their kind feelings will be fully recipro-
Gated.
The following sensible item from
an exchange expresses our sentiments
exactly:
We are willing to give place in our
local columns to mention of any visit

or his daughter, but at the same time
we would be glad to haYe the item

made of it at this office. People are al

absence of friends, and equally glad to
know the presence of any visitor upon
whom they wish TO call. Some very

their names in the papers. This may

flattery but it can hardly be true of
