Reunion Of the Snyder Family.

A centennial reunion of the Snyder
family will be held on June 10th. at the
home of Newton Thompson in Brady
township 1t is Just 100 years ago that
Conrad Snyder, Sr, his wife, and son,
Conrad, Jr. and wife and daughter.
Mrs. Carter came from Westmoreland
county and settled in what is now Bra
DIV twp on the Watson farm. Conrad,
Jr.. during a long life became one of the
most prominent, wealthy and widely
known residents of that part of the
county. He accumulated something
like 5000 acres of land, most of which
prior to his death he divided up among
nine surviving children.
His descendants which now number
some three hundred still hold large
portion of this land and are among the
most staunch and progressive citizens Of
Brady and surrounding townships,
while almost every state from the At
lantic to the Pacific includes among its
inhabitants one or more of the Snyder
descendants.
1t is expected that several hundred OF
the descendants will assemble on the
above date. A historical program is be
ing prepared. Among the speakers will
be H n Snyder, Esq. of Kittanning
and Geo. y. lift of Pocatella, Idaho.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The Twelfth Census.

The Constitution of the United States
requires that the people be counted eve.
ry ten years, for the apportionment OF
Representatives in Congress, and direct
taxes: and SO it is that some fifty -thous-
and enumerators have been appointed
who were to begin their work on Fri
day last; and these with the special
agents, staff and clerks at headquarters
will make the entire force employed on
this census about $4,000
The objectional questions OF the
Eleventh Census have all been eliminat-
ed; the question regarding mortgages
should be answered promptly as mort
gage is matter of record and ascer-
tainable elsewhere.
The mere enumeration of the people
of this country will cost about four mil
lions of dollars, and before the last vol
ume of particulars has been printed the
total cost will probably be four times

a spot near Butler to the Allegheny
river, some miles above Pittsburg; but
this marauding was stopped by Waynes
victory, and treaty of peace was soon
after effected.
This county and several others in
western Pennsylvania were surveyed
and organized in the Spring of 1900;
this one was named in honor of Gen.
Butler; and the northern part of it was
partitioned among the soldiers OF the
Revolutionary army and called Dona-
ton lands; while the southern part was
used to redeem the deprecated currency
of the Revolution and called Deprecia-
tion lands.
The first settlers were principally
Scotch Irish while the Germans began
coming in the Thirties. As years went

CHEERING.

There is enough industrial co-opera
there might be more, and to keep hope
in those who think there ought to be
more. For instance, the Alliance Mill
ing Company of Denton, Texas. This
mill was built by the Farmers ALI
ance in it's fiourishing days. The stock
of 100000 teach share at par being So
was subscribed for among the farmers,
in blocks of from one to 100 shares,
and in this way the necessary capital
was raised for the erection of a 100
barrel mill and elevator for So
900 bushels. The capital stock to-day
remains the same, but out of the earn
ings have been built five new elevators,
with a combined capacity of 100000
bushels; a corn-shelling plant with a
capacity for handling 1000 bushels Of
corn a day, and the milling capacity
has been increased by the addition of
more room and more and later-improv-
ed machinery to $50 barrels daily; to
say nothing of the addition of a grist
mill, the capacity of which is $50 BUSH
els day, The plant to-day is worth
100000; it has a surplus of
$4,000, and 10 per cent. dividends have
been declared annually for several
years To cap all, the company has
just won the first prize at Paris in com
petition with the best mills of the world !
for soft-wheat -four

be located. The object of the law as
explained by its projectors is to equaliza
the advantages between large co-opera-
tive establishments and the owners Of
minor and middle class retail stores
whose business is restricted to a few
articles, and whose aggregate sales are
small. AS the tax only amounts to 1
or 2 per cent. upon the aggregate sales
of the department stores it is deemed
more than doubtful whether it will OPP
crate to check the tendency toward
combination. The advantages of con-
centration, large capital, cheaper pur-
chases and heavier sales will probably
more than counterbalance the burden
Of taxation. 1t is also pointed out that
the law may lead to the specialize ton
of mercantile undertakings, SO that cap
ital now embarked in selling all kinds
of wares under one roof may be more
profitably used in attempting the mo-
nopoly Of single lines of merchandise,
thus in the long run establishing more
dangerous rivalry for the business of
the small trader.

as he afterward told me, it produced
sensation. He declared that if those

winter people would pay any price TO
winter people would pay any price for
them. Just at present the transporta-
ton problem is q little difficult. They
grow in the deep, hot valleys of Utah
to the best advantage, and when sub
jected to the long journey seem to lose
their flrmness I have no doubt, how
ever, that this will be corrected and
that the muskmelon will be one of the
regular winter fruits of the future"
