GENTLEMEN
The present struggle being waged
in every county throughout the
State of Pennsylvania, within the
ranks of the Republican party, for
the purpose of determining which
factional element shall dominate our
State organization. will, if continued
to the end, doubtless result in bit
ter contest for the State Chairman
ship, at the coming State Conven-
tion to be held i'll Harrisburg, on
August 2Sth next, and the question
having been raised that the delegate
to the State Convention and the
nominee for County Surveyor were
irregularly chosen and not in con-
formity with the rules of the party,
the Chairman deems it expedient
that in order to hazard no chances
as to seating the delegate from Sny-
ber county, he, as well as the candi-
date for County Surveyor should be
chosen as heretofore, in the same
manner in which the representative
in the General Assembly is nomin-
ated, to wit by direct vote of the
people, which is the only proper and
lawful method in counties where the
Crawford County system of voting
prevails, and 1 therefore make the
announcement that there will be a

Apple Growing

Few farmers are aware of the OK
tent Of the,foreign apple trade in
this country. They do not know
that in favorable seasons we have
sent to Europe over two million
barrels of apples. Secretary Nor.
ton has Just made known the fact
that during the nine months ending
September 1894 Great Britain alone
paid this country -, 800, 600 for the
apples we sold her; and it was not
very good apple year either. In
the face of the present depressed
prices of the ordinary farm products
we have in this fact that il deserv-
ing OF careful attention and consid.
GRAFTON. 1t is seldom that more ap.
pies are grown here in Snyder coun.
ty than are required for home con-
sumption. We never have any to
spare to send away. The apples
that are exported nearly all come
from New York and New England,
and are found bv the farmers in
these states to be much more
profitable crop than wheat, corn or
oats.
1t is commonly held in this locali-
ty that there is no money in the
orchard.
