''Grandson to the Record Founder"
is the head of an article that appeared
in the Wilkes Barre Record of July 22d.
1t ran as follows: The latest accession
TO the population of Miners Mills is a
boy which arrived yesterday to brighten
the home of William B. Miner. As the
little fellow is grandson of the late
William P. Miner, founder of the Rec
ord, the members of the staff wish him
a long and prosperous life" Mr. and
Mrs. Miners large circle of friends in
Lancaster heartily concur in the kind
wish of tie "R, cord" as does the
HERALD.
Ii has been truihfully said, innumer-
able times, that the men who can write
. cnncise, terse article for publication
are few; while Oh the other hand, the
woods are full of prolific nonsense
writer's, whose articles are generally
accepted for want of anything better.
1t has also been marked that these same
nonsense writers seldom fail TO berate
the proofreader when called upon to ac-
count for some ungrammatIcal sentence
or paragraph not formed strictly in
accordance with the known rules of
rhetoric and phraseology.
The whole town is interested in our
new Opera House, which at the present
time has apparently come to stand
still. But the reason for this is obvious.
The carpenters must have a chance to
lay the jolst for the second floor, and a
large kiln of brick at the Reed yard has
not yet been burned to the desired
hardness or color. AS soon as the car
penters do their work, and the brick is
ready. the building will be pushed as
rapidly as possible to completion. Just
at present, Geo. Coolies new block is
the center of attraction. 1t is expected
the brick work on his building will be
completed within two weeks
County Clerk, Jno. Eplett. has re-
Gently compiled the annual statement
of principal products grown in 1892
and now growing. For the benefit Of
our readers we have copied from his
report to the Secretary of State, the
number OF bushels grown in 80 and the
number of acres sown this year. In '92
the total number of bushels of wheat
grown in Grant County was 1877, 261.
corn !, 646,3 64, oats 1897 barley 25,-
054, rye 68,661, potatoes 14S, 543. The
number of acres sown this year as
certified to by the severaltown assessors
of each of the above products, is as
follows: Wheat 10, 1134, corn 9.476!,
oats 68,085, barley 1898, rye 6.3523,
potatoes 2,S159. 1t will be readily seen
that by allowing the average number of
bushels per acre for each product and
multiplying the number of acres sown
this year by that number, that the total
yield this year should be in access of
that of last year with the exception
probably of the potato crop, which may
fall below.
