Wheat harvest is here. A few days
OF sunshine and the golden grain will
be in the shock, and the song of the
thrasher will soon be heard in the
land.
Farmers are all busy at hay making,
Of which there is more than All aver
age crop. Oats are looking exceedingly
we'll and promising, hut every growing
thing needs rain BADLY. The storm of
Monday brought US no rain. All wind
aud lots OF it,

The graceful (?) attitude assumed by
some Of the bicycle riders of this town
would stop an eight-day, clock.
There is some talk 81 transferring
the Biggs Creamery from Thurmont to
Franklin Mills Well, the farmers
know thing or two.
Prof. d. \. Herring started for his
home in New York Tuesday morning.
Mr. Joshua Herring went, via West
minister aud Baltimore, to Steelt0n,
Pa, Tuesday, where he will visit rel
atives.
Mrs. f. l.. Boblilz of Frederick, is

A Chlldren's day service was held
in the Lutheran Church here, Sunday
evening last, when an elaborate, highly
interesting aud effective program was
rendered in the presence of about five
hundred people. The music, which
was especially prepared for the service,
and under the direction of Van b. Os-
Ter, was of high order. The organist,
Miss Maggie Osler, showed commend
able skill in manipulating the large
and powerful instrument upon which
she played.
If our memory serves us correctly,
we are under obligations to the Johns
vile correspondent to inform him
through the colgmns of the CITIZEN,
"Where we were keeping ourselves"
some weeks ago, "while the Their
mometer is registering from 9S to 104
degrees" We will frankly inform cur
friend that when the mercury registers
anywhere above 81 degrees, we will be
found in the coolest room in our domi-
cile, not at all by choice, but by COM
pulsion. Physically we are weak, and
while not too strong mentally. are
truly thankful that it is as "well
with us AS it is
Cassandra, though perfectly modest
in hef demonstration, is quite elated at
having stirred up our townsville friend
aud reporter to the CITIZEN. His re-
ply to her inquiry as to what had be-
come of the townsville and other re-
porters was" Well, had he asked
the question last water he might have
thought we We're showed under.N
True enough, we distinctly remember
of him having at time reported snow
drifts as high rs the town church, but
to the best of our recollection our
friend was not underneath or on top of
it. Wen wager he was snugly en-
sconced somewhere in comfortable
quarters, far more comfortable than is
the editors sanctum, when the mer-
curry for days and days in succession is
high in the ninetes. But for the edi-
tor there Is no escape. He can
not desert his post of duty and
make it quitting time for the day
when the sun Is still high in the heav-
ems" as did our brother at the time in
question.
The CITIZEN, with it's eight pages
and fifty-slx columns, every column
two feet long by two and one quarter
inches in width, all teeming, as is
usually the case, with the most usefu
information and knowledge on every
important subject and matter bearing
upon the best interests of our county's
people, must go out promptly to IL,
army Of patrons, so that they can, II
these torrid days, go to the shade anc
partake of the feast thus faithfully pre-
pared for them.
In view, then, of the excellence O
the CITIZEN, the high plane upol
! which 1t is conducted, the vast stor
