The counties of Tioga, Luzernc
and Lackawanna are said to be in
danger of losing their school appro-
priations for Eext year unless they
take prompt action to avert it. As
yet they have not made returns to
the School Department of the school
district statistics required by law on
which to make calculations for dis
tributing the State appropriations,
and as the time limit has about ex-
pired there is danger of the three
counties losing their share. In some
districts the State appropriations al
most cover the entire expenses of the
schools and the tax levied is very
small.
We acknowledge with thanks two
copies OF Lynn's "Annals of Buffalo
Valley" one for our private library
and another copy for the library of
the Sny der County Historical So
ciety from II. F. Brown, Esq, of
Lewisburg. The book is valuable
one. 1t contains not only interest
ing data concerning Union county,
but also a great deal concerning the
early history of Snyder County. The
Indian history, the record of many
pioneers and the conflicts between
the savages and our forefathers are
copiously detailed in this volume.
The book should be in every library
in the county.
The Farm Journal is unlike any
other paper; for one thing it prints
no quack Observation-Disclosures; for
another it takes five-year subscrip-
tions and gets the paper to its sub
scribers the full time itthey are any
where on this planet, even if they
move two or three times; if they die
their heirs get it. Now we are 60
ing to combine with the Farm Journ-
al and the Posi- one year and the
Farm Journal nearly 5 years IRE
mainder of 1900 and all of 1901,
1902, 1908 and 1904 to ev-
cry advance-paying subscriber, new
and old, to the Posi-. This great
offer had better be accepted before it
