The continued drought is being felt very
much in this section. All growing crops are
suffering, grass particularly. Corn is matur,
ing rapidly and the yield will be somewhat
diminished by the drought. Farmers are
making preparations for seeding; large guam
titles of fertilizers are being hauled daily.
Should the equinox bring us rainstorm, ii
will be welcome this time.
An ice cream festival, for the benefit of the
NJ. p. Parsonage, was held at Mt. Zion Church
on the evenings of the 18th and 10th. The
gatherings on both evenings were good, and
though on Saturday night ice cream was apt
to produce a SILVER, there was realized $3s
over expenses. The receipts on Tuesday
night were probably better.

Coming to visit Their Former Homes.

Coming 10 visit Their Former Homes.
We learn that movement amongst the
former residents of Western Maryland is being
talked of for an excursion TO their old homes,
at some time in October. 1t is proposed to
make such arrangements as to afford an OPP
portunity to the citizens of Seneca, who emf
grated from Frederick, Carroll and Allegheny
counties, and Baltimore city, to visit their
old home and the friends and relatives they
may still have living there. As there is quite
large number of residents from Maryland in
this county, and especially from Frederick
and Carroll counties, we would suggest, that
inasmuch as the Frederick County Fair is
held early in October-and it is one of the
finest shows of the kind in Maryland-that
the time be fixed SO as to allow an opportuni-
ty for those desiring it, to be present on that
occasion. The excursion can be arranged, if
the sons and daughters of "My Maryland
will it. Let there be meeting Called and
the question discussed and settled. We are
for the excursion.-Tiffn Ohio Adrertiser.
