C. X. Sober of Lewisburg this State
has engaged in chestnut growing aud has
now 100000 grated chestnut trees grow
ing on $50 acres of land tuated near
Shamnkin. This vast orchard is still
young, but this year he gathered so
bushels of Paragon chestnuts as the first
crop. Early in the season these sell from
50 to s. the bushel. When once in 90 d

small fortune each year.
Here's good hint from an exchanges:
A substitute proposed for raising the hat
on meeting a lady acquaintance is the
military salutes. To touch the hat IN
stead OF raising it may save some mortal
"A severe cold. This is as it shoul be. A
e ntleman should not be required to take
his hat of and look in the top Of it every
time he meets lady, no matter what the
condition of the wea' her, when the mill
tary salute is much more genteel and
aristocralc.
Get ready for big gas bills and the
toughest kind of winter. An aged
prophet of Reading, who has been study
ing tn mysteries of the goosebone, states
that winter will set in about Christmas
with extraordinary severity. The chip
munk is also reported to have laid in an
extra supply Of food tor long spell OF
cold weather. The corn husks have al
ready spoken to the same effect, and the
hornets nests are low enough to make
stinping artic weather a sure thing.

do not help make cities lively and pro-
gressive. To forge ahead as commun |
ity ere must be plenty Of push and |
plenty Of generosity among the people, |
not the poor people alone, but the rich
peop also. There must be a spirit Of |
generosity abroad in the land and the |
spirit of pinch must 6e relegated to the |
