ance should he made for any tritling fault OF
rhythm or undue freedom of poetic license:
We heard of some new way of mending roads
No later than last spring,
Which most of us thought
Would be Il very good thing.
The gentleman that has our section
Has done nothing at all;
And suppose he is putting 1t OFT
Until the last thing in the fall,
Which is no time for putting dirt in,
AS common sense will teach;
And things would have been better In the fu-
ture, think,
If they had only elected Mr.. Keech.
This Snake Lane, as it is generally known,
1t certainly is sight;
And the one that travels over it
Feels like saying everything but what's right
Our camp meeting is to commence
The twentieth of July:
And to think of travelling over such read
Is enough to make one cry.

BARNS BURNED.-An old barn and stable on
the property of Mr.. George M. Jawett, at
Glenville, was struck by lightning, about s
o'clock on Thursday night, June 22d, and de-
stroyed. A cow and calf, the only stock in
it, were saved. A new dairy house between
the stable and Mr.. Jewett's residence, was
also burned. The latter was in great dan
ger but the neighbors assembled and covering
it with blankets which they kept wet with
water from tank in the upper story, succeed
ed in saving it. Mr.. Jewett and his family
were spending the evening away from home
when the fire occurred.
The barn of Mr.. James NJ. Scarf, at Sarah

Repeal the Sherman Silver Law.

Baltimore Sun.
The Farmers Club, of Deer Creek, Hartford
county, Md. is body OF men enjoying a re-
putation for public spirit and sound, practical
sense. These gentlemen have given another
evidence of their interest in public affairs and
their good judgment by adopting resolutions
favoring the repeal of the Sherman silver law.
Under this law, which was passed with the
belief by some that it would make money
cheap and wheat dear, wheat has reached the
lowest price In the history OF our country. 1t
is apparent to intelligent farmers that some
thing Is wrong, aud that something is mainly
the Sherman law and its direct aud indirect
consequences. The farmers have been heavy
sufferers from the prevailing depression, and
if all organized bodies OF agriculturists would
take course similar to that OF the Deer Creek
Club, Congress would not venture to place
itself in opposition to such an expression Of
public will. Financial legislation OF this kind
is not or should not be political. Its effect upon
business and farming interests is direct, and
expressions of opinion upon it directly
within the scope of farmers organizations.

HANNAH A. STREET., who departed this
life June 9Th 1898. She was the wife of j.
Morgan Street, Gone but not forgotten.
How hard it WAS to part
With one we loved SO well;
o, how she suffered on this earth
No mortal tongue can tell.
Her darling h,lilds are folded.
Her work on earth was done;
When Jesus came and whispered,
y, Annie, do come home.
How sad it was to see
In bed she moaning lay;
Till God released her from her pain,
And then she went away.
But she has escaped life's thorns;
And the only path she trod
Was that which led from her mothers
arms
Into the arms of God.
God bless the little children,
Teach them the way to trod,
That they may see Il better world,
And live with Christ, our Lord.

Farmers ON the Silver Folly.


Unfortunately for their own interests, the
filters OF the soil are modest Instead of self
assertiye, and their real opinions on the cur
rency question do not find their way Into the
public prints. An exception TO this rule is
offered in the case of the Deer Creek Farm
ers' Club, of Hartford county, Md, whose mem,
bers believe the present business depression
to be chiefly due to the silver purchase policy
of the government and who are not afraid to
speak their minds upon the subject.
This sensible utterance doubtless embodies
the real opinions of nine-tenths OF the farmers
of the country. 1t is an imputation upon
the business sense as well as upon the honesty
Of the farmers, to assume that they prefer d
sixty-cent to Il hundred-cent dollar. The on.
ly trouble is that the great majority of the
farmers fail to form themselves into clubs to
discuss public questions and express Their
opinions by formal resolutions. The liar
ford county farmers have set good example
in this respect, which deserves to be widely
followed
