How much more do you know about poll
tics than you did before the primary
How many lead pencils did you use up in
scratching tickets at the late primary?
Our farmers are very busy making hay
this week. The crop will be about as shor
this season as it was long last season. bu
there will be enough for all, and don't you
forget it.
The season so far was very favorable fol
the potato bug, and it seems his bugship
has taken advantage of the season. My ad.
vice TO potato growers is, turn out youl
forces every Now and Then" and fight
him; unless you do so, he may succeed in
destroying your whole crop.
Mrs. Dennis Hay. the mother Of Prof.
John Meese, and one of Brothersyalley s
most esteemed women, died last week, after
a lingering illness of a year Or more.
Our neighbor, Henry Coleman, is the
happy man just now-its daughter.
Berlin's list ofSummer visitors, as yet, is
not as large as usual.
Look out for the Canada thistle; cut
them early, and burn them. The seed OF
the thistle will germinate while in blossom,
hence the importance of destroying them
by burning.
The smiling face of our would-be western
man, John Ii. Knepper, can now be seen be-
hind the counters OF Il. l.. Cook, dry goods
merchant, ofBerlin. Johny's home in the
west was of short duration, but am safe in
saping that all our citizens will strike hands
with Now and Then and say
Oh, here's my heart, and here's my hand,
Wen thrice welcome you back to Berlin's

In this section cherries are now ready for
the market, and the crop in quantity ifnot
in quality. will exceed all other crops.
The closing exercises of the Berlin Nor
NAL, under the principalship of j. NJ. Ber-
key, closed its spring term on the 18th of
last month, with an examination of the
students by County Superintendent Weller.
All those who were examined are well sat
isfied with their certificates, which could
hardly be otherwise with any one who was
under the tutorship OF Prof. Berkey. In the
evening there was grand closing exhibi-
ton, in which every one on the programme
performed their part in such manner as to
not only honor the school and Berlin, but
the community, also.
Independence day was celebrated on a
grand scale iI Berlin. The procession,
which numbered fully five thousand, ferm-
ID in the lower Diamond at IL O'Clock A. m.
and then marched to the beautiful grove on
he farm of Mr.. Ed. Kimmell, quarter of

consisted of short addresses, national airs, !

Says the Waynesburg Messenger The
wool trade in Greene county, and in many
other sections of the country continues very
low and extremely dull. and a very large
percentage of the wool clip of this section
remains in the hands of growers. though in
ordinary years it is usually all, or mostly,
at least, in in the warerooms of buyers by
the first ofJuly. Twenty-eight and thirty
cents continue to be the ruling figures, the
latter price taking the best clips that we
hear OF being sold.

demand for acids indicates deficiency in
the acids secretions of the stomach, and the
demand tor an artificial supply is a natural
one, but vinegar is not the best substitute.
Lactic acid is one of the chief agents that
give acidity to the gastric juice of the stom-

Price of Wheat.

BALTIMORE, July Spot wheat
to-day reached the lowest point since
the organization of the Corn and
Flour Exchange of this city. The
bid was ninety-four cents and the
market was dull. The absence of a
foreign demand and the incoming
heavy crop are attributed as the
cause for the lowest price for more
than thirty years.
