We are happy to say the Rev. j. G. Ray

The farmers have their oats in and some
of them are ready to plant potatoes
The dry weather is keeping the pasture
back very much. We have one very good
crop, that is mosquitoes.
Mr.. c. A. Pellet met with slight ac-
cident Sunday a. m. He and his son had
both horses out to water as they were go

against Mr.. Pellett knocking him down
injuring his rib on the right side. He is
around but not very busy,
Mrs Taft has been spending a few days

Mr.. f. Stevenson of Waymart spent
Sunday in town.

The United States Weather Bu-
reau in its report of crop conditions
for the week ended May 18th says
that the week has been generally
favorable for farm work east of the
Rocky mountains. Rain is greatly
needed over all this section. Win
ter wheat is in a less promising con-
dition than previously reported in
several states, and in Pennsylvania
some fields have been plowed up
and sown to oats. Corn planting is
progressing rapidly, and in the
Southern States the crop is well adj
vanced, and generally in excellent
condition

urgent need of his services over here.
Should he be lent out elsewhere you might

How to Treat a wife.

From Pacific Health journal.
First, get wife second, be patti
ent. You may have great trials and
perplexities in your business, but do
not, therefore, carry to your home
a cloudy or contracted brow. Your
wife may have trials, which, though
of less magnitude, may be hard for
her to bear. A kind word, tender
look will do wonders in chasing
from her brow all clouds of gloom.
The above is very good but we do
not add the advice to furnish her
with a bottle of " Remedy" per-
haps she wont need it, if the treat
ment above suggested is assiduously
pursued.
