PLINNY declared that t was the magnificent fortunes, the great estates that destroyed the Roman Empire. There are greater than the Roman fortunes in this country. Will they destroy 1t? That depends. The Ro- man estates were hea:hen estates. This country of ours is q Christian country, or at least many of it's citi- z3ns are believers in the true God. Shall their magnificent fortunes be Christian fortunes? That is the ques- ton which mainly concerns Amori- cans. That is the question upon whose answer depends the future of this cogatry.-Virginia Enterprise.

GAINESVILLE District and st. Clairs-
vile M. E. Church.

At the recent session of the East Ohio
conference at Alliance, o., Barnesville
District took the banner for increase of
numbers during the year, for increase in
missionary collections, for aggregate in
missionary collections. and as the only
district which passed the million dollar
line" In these four particulars, it led
the eight districts which compose the
conference. Great credit is due the peo-
pie for their loyalty to the church and
for their liberality also to the Rev
Louis Paine, Presiding Elder of the dis
trict for his wise and excellent manage
ment.
st. Clairsville Methodist church passed
the million line by $40. Its total gifts
for missions mot including the Woman's
Foreign Missionary offering of Sl0D-
was $500 more than 81 per member for
the whole full membership; and this
amount did not include any bequest or
special gift, but was collection pure and
simple, with no single gift above S19 in
amount. The Sunday school gave of
this sum, go cents per member of the to-
tai enrolment, and so cents for each per-
son in the average attendance for the
entire year. We mo1estly venture the
belief that no other church or Sunday
school in the conference has made as
good record.
The total amount for the seven con-
ference collections and the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society. was $531,
or $1.S0 per member. Total raised for
all purposes, $2289-or 81 IS per mem-

TIMELY TOPICS
Discussed at the Farmers Club.

Apple picking and the management
and care of winter apples was the SUBJ
ject considered at the October meeting
of the Farmers Club, Saturday. The
President, Joseph Taggart, presented a
fine specimen OF Ohio Nonpareil, and
Amos Fawcett meritorious Seeding of
the Bentley Sweet variety, which was
pronounced worthy of cultivation. The
Ohio Nonpareil was of fine flesh, good
size and highly colored. a After the ap'
plies were partaken of, Amos Fawcett
gave his plan of picking, asserting and
storing winter apples. He invaribly
used basket in picking, and placed his
apples in heaps in the orchard until cool
weather, then assorted and stored away
in barrels or bins i'll cellar; believed
damp cellar was the best for preserving
the fruit; it was profitable to sell apples
IN the fall when a fair price could be
obtained.
AT. McKelvey thought we began apple
picking too late; believed he would have
saved fifty barrels of excellent fruit if
he had begun two weeks earlier Varie-
ties such as Baldwin, King, L. |. Pipin,
Gate, BelIfower and Waldower, should
be gather ed before the equinoclial storm
in September He would not advise plac-
ing apples in heaps on the ground until
cold weather; the percentage of loss
would be'far greater than if stored in
the barn or other out buildings. He ad-
vocated cold cellar for the preservation
of apples "a cellar where the tempera'
ture was just above freezing. He stored
200 barrels in a small milk cellar 20x20
and feet deep by placing away in boxes
and bins, and they kept admirably with
the temperature below 40 degrees.
Emmett Giffin advocated the storing
of apples in the cellar immediately after
picking; believed a uniform cool temper
ature better for the preservation than
such warm weather as was experienced
during the past week. He thought we
should be governed by the season in
picking apples; this was forward sea-
son and apples were ready to gather fully
two weeks earlier than last year.
Mr.. Clark regarded the Polly Bright
of poor flavor and worthless as cook
ing apple, but showy and saleable
On motion of Mr.. John Watson, the
question of holding an Institute this
winter.was made the subject for consid+
Grafton at the next monthly meeting.
The only difficulty in the way seems to
J be the lack of suitable hail. Adjourned.

THE "wire fence man" victimized one
of the citizens of Smith township to the
tune of $500, recently. The game is
worked after this fashion: The fence
man wants the privilege of exhibiting
his wire fence stretcher machine to fart
mers in your township on your farm
and for which privilege he will build you
80 or 40 rods of good picket fence for ex-
hibitiOn, and all he asks of you is to
board him, go after the machine at the
nearest depot, and to pay the charges not
to exceed $500, for the fence and all set
up where you want it. And to have all
satisfactory and to warrant him the far
mer's good intentions, he requires him
to sign printed contract on postal card,
which he mails to his partner. and proves
to be an order for the machine, price
$500, worth about S25. After the MAJ
chine comes, new man turns up with
this postal order and the machine. and
requires the farmers note for 5000, as
per arrangement on card. He claims to
be attorney for the company. threatens
to sue in United States Court until he
gets the note.

SOME of the Democrats on the coun-
ty ticket, are working their membership
in the masonic and other secret orders,
to advance their interests at the cleo
tiOn. 1t is understood that such course
is directly contrary to the rules of the
masonic order. Be that as it may, the
debasing of this high and ancient order
by making political tool out of it, will
go far to bring it into disrepute. Ev-
cry honorable member of the craft will
fatty snub candidate who seeks his
vote on the ground of membership in
the order. Candidates who have no
higher sense of propriety than to ask
support on such grounds deserve the
contempt of their brethren.
