Ananias Emert is busily engaged building
a new house for himself and family.
Mrs. H. D. Lohr, who has cen suffering
from a severe attack of pneumonia for seye-
raj weeks, is slowly recovering.
Farmers who have planted their corn are
complaining of the wet weather, as they
fear they will have to replant unless there
is a speedy cessation of the rain.
There has been All unusually large fatality
among the horses in Quemahoning and Jen-
ner townships the past month. One farmer
lost four and some twenty have died during
the past six weeks.
Mrs. Hannah J. Rhoads has gone to live
with her son -in-law, Jas. Biesecker, in Jen-
ner township. She had been living by her
selffor number Of years and as she is now
nearly 50 years Of age she concluded that
she had better give up housekeeping.
The report that Mrs. John Stuff, who has
visited Philadelphia several times for pro-
fessional treatment for cancer, was about
dying Is not correct. Her general health is
much improved and her ultimate recovery
GRAFTON she underwent several months ago.
Great injustice has been done to Dr.. Jos
eph Cris,, OF this place, by the circulation
of report that lie has retired from the sew
ing machine business. Judging from the
large number of machines he has taken
away this Spring and sold we judge that
trade in his line was never better. 1 don't
know whether he is selling machines at low
erprices than other agents that they report
that be is preparing to 60 out OF business.
As to the doctor going out of trade / fear
it is very much like Rip Van Ripple's
swearing off drinking, this one don't
count"
Our weather prophet, Fred Holder, in
forms US that in spite Of the present sppar-
ent fair prospects for an ordinarily good
fruit crop il will be far short of last years
crop, and assigns the following reasons:
First, the apple and pear trees are bloom
ing in the decline of the moon and
will drop from the trees premsturely. Sec
ond, on account of last seasons large crop
when the wormy fruit was left to rot under
the trees as a result the insects were not
destroyed and will be much more numerous
this fall and their raysges will be very great.
Last season the insects did very little dam
age for the reason that the fruit crop the
preceding season was a total failure, and
they we're practically exterminated through
want of food.

Worth Thinking About,

When Dry Goods merchants advise you
not 10 come to my Store for Millinery Goods
they are not at all concerned whether you
buy Millinery G oods cheap and fashionable
or not, but they are anxious on their own
account for fear you will see how cheap
am selling Dry Goods. The same applies to
Millinery Houses when they advise you not
to come to my Store to buy Dry Goods.
They try to make you believe that they are
very much interested in your welfare. The
truth is they are afraid you will find out
that you can do better in their lines with me
than with them. It is a. Combination
Scheme.

hundred thousand dollars. And yet the
