B ographical Review Of Somerset County.
The proposed publication of Biograph-
ical Review of Somerset county, by the
Biographical Review Publishing Compa-
ny of Boston, Mass, calls 10 our atten-
ton the fact, which we are glad to note,
that many Of the present generation are
taking an intelligent interest in the pre-
servation of family history, and are
searching genealogical records, not with
the view of being able TO claim kinship,
near or remote, with any of the royal or
noble families Of the Old World, but for
the purpose of gratifying an honest pride
in the memory of the worthy deeds aud
laborious struggles of their pioneer an
cestors in this country. Pride in descent
from men of the type of our early colon
lists Is, we hold, perfectly Legitimate and
entirely consistent with our Democratic
institutions. They were the first Ameri-
cans, as the term is Low understood /;
men who, under great di~couragements
and with vast labor. planted strong and
deep the foundations of our present sOci-
ETY.. Ii is worth while to make this fact
plain to our present population, and the
proposed work admirably serves such a
purpose. besides transmitting 10 pOsteri-
ty faithful account of the lives of the
busy toilers Of to-day. No charge will be
made for the publication of these sketch
es and we trust that our citizens will give
this enterprise the support it deserves by
furnishing information when called upon,
or by otherwise assisting the agents of
the company.

When it came to appointing two court
officers to take the places of Daniel Trent,
deceased, and John Burket. resigned, the
members of the bench found that they
chad more pegs than holes," there being
some sixteen applicants for the two va
cancies. Some of the pegs were too fat
while others were too lean and as a result
a compromise was effected by naming two
veteran soldiers, Wm. NJ. Hochstetler
AMI Henry F. Knepper, both of whom
will make efficient officials. A number
of the applicants who claimed to have
had copper-riveted cinch on the places
are going around with knives up their
sleeves.

The Crop Report.

The weather during the past week
was favorable for all growing crops.
The daily mean temperature was
slightly above normal, and refreshing
showers, with partly cloudy skies,
brought relief from drouthy conditions
In all districts. In the larger part of
the state the supply of moisture is am
pie for all present needs, and COM
plants of injury bytdrouth are heard
from only few scattered localities.
Corn has made fine progress in all
sections. Variable replies have been
received from crop observers to the in.
qulry In relation to the length of time
required under normal conditions to
mature the corn crop and place 1t be-
yond danger of harm by killing frosts.
The larger number report that early
planted corn will be practically safe
about 18th to Goth Of September. Late
planted fields that were we'll titled,
may be fairly matured by October LIST.
An unknown percentage of the crop
will need warm, drying weather
through the first ten days of October
to make mefchantable corn. 1t is
highly probable that more than the
usual amount, at the rear of the pro-
cession, will be out off prematurely by
killing frosts.
Threshing is in progress and reports
are showing fair to good yields of
wheat, oats and barley. Potatoes and
pastures have been helped by the
showers.
