HOoper's with Esther. Mrs. Frank Zepp and
Mr.. James Hooper, wife and children, Roy
and Esther, were present at the same time.
When it was thought, by all present, that the
crowd was about complete, who should arrive
but Mr.. Augustus Brown. of Westminster.
To say he received a hearty welcome would
be putting it mildly, as he is general favorite
with all in this neighborhood, especially with
the ladies. Winning ways, you know. Mrs.
Thompson will return to her home shortly,
leaving behind the glad remembrance that
she is one whom it does you good TO meet.

Kinley and Endorse Baker.

The Republican primaries in Carroll last
Saturday were spirtless In Manchester dis
trlct no meeting was held at all, and the con
vention on Monday was SHINY attended. The
prospect of fight in Westminster district to
demonstrate whether Schaeffer or Handey
was the popular choice for postmaster of this
city, served to hurry the appointment of
Schaeffer before the primaries and thus
deprive the voters of the opportunity to
express their preference. Mr.. Schaeffer was
the candidate of the Organization, and
what the reorganization" wants is none of the
people, business, according to the views of
the Organization"

called 10 the chair, and made speech eulo-
giving Mchlnleys Administration and VIM.

state any particulars of VIM. Bakers dis
unguished GU career, and he would look in
vain IN the Congressional Record to find that
he even made motion to adjourn in the
nearly four years he has served in the House
of Representatives. STILL the delegates APP
plauded, and the chairman satisfied that
he had struck a responsive chord.
DIR. c. Ii. Diler, of Middleburg district,
was made temporary secretary.
As there were no contests. a committee on

Our farmers are busily engaged hauling
their sweet corn and preparing for wheat
seeding. The sweet corn crop, is not more
than two-third one; some will get 81 tons
per acre, others, from l to II tons per acre.
The field corn crop may average better
here, as it was, in many instances, planted
later and the late rains helped it more than
it did the sweet corn. The potato crop is the
worst failure for years; late pastures never
were better at this season of the year.
A large number of acres will be seeded to
grain the coming fall, Notwithstanding the
great failure this season.
