The County Fair.

Interest is beginning to be manifest
in the coming County Fair this fall.
From various directions comes the in
quiry, twill there surely be another
Fair this fall?" and also persons are
giving their crops the best of cultiva-
tion, taking especial care of some par
ticularly promising specimen and en-
deavoring to develop their live stock
to their fullest extent. This extra eff
fort will surely result in much good.
1t will stimulate the grower to ac-
quaint himself with the best methods
in Agriculture and the latest and most
promising varieties of products. The
interest it will stimulate gives the
producer greater profit and increases
the sum of his happiness. Many con-
slider a Fair a place of amusement.
While the amusement feature should
not be overlooked, the Fair is great
educational institution and this should
always be kept in mind. 1t is hoped
that every citizen throughout the
county will make an effort to exhibit
something and thus contribute to the
success ofa commendable enterprise

Visit of Observation.

While on recent trip through tho
Northern part of Pennsylvania and
Southern New York, two things were
very noticeable to me. First, to me.
was the excellent condition of the
farms, and all farm crops. Next, the
great change in the politics of the PEG
pie; one township in particular, furn-
nished me with much thought. Fiji
teen years ago there was only four Re
publicans in the township; now it Is
very nearly reversed. l am personally
acQuaintd with nearly half of the people
there, but could not account for the
immense change; every one, except
possibly few Standard Oil employees,
were talking Roosevelt, in favor ef
Roosevelt, and all for Roosevelt.
There was no argument, but all SEEM
ed to say, or feel, as Milo Green said
to me, Roosevelt is good enough foc
me;'' but Milo is an old soldier, that
might account for him; but what has
changed the Others so radically?
Crops in Northern n. Y, look the
best have ever seen them, hay, oats
and potatoes, are extra fiue-one field
OF rye that passed would average five
feet tall. But corn is general failure.
as | only saw two fields that were eves
average; gardens were all good But
l think the corn crop around EN-
porium, is better than any place ]
have been.
On this trip there was five railroad
wrecks in three days; three of which
rather interferred with my travelling,
and one of which was caused by gross
carelesness on the part of the engineer
as he let the journals Of his engine get
so dry that they cut off, and lost the
drive wheels on one side Of the engine.
One poor tramp was the only one ser.
iously hurt.

that time, so that we will not carr

it looks like great combine to kill off

The distance from Jamestown to

miles, while the length of the lake
proper from Celoron to Mayville is less
than 10 miles. Lake soundings are an
interesting study. From Mayville to

the bottom drops away rapidly until

HEMPHILL, wife of Sheriff Harry
Hemphill, of Emporium, who has,
while battling himself against dis
ease of a serious nature, rendered
every means to save his wife, aged 40
years and II days, died at Jefferson
Hospital, Philadelphia, Thursday, July
21st, 1904. After suffering for five
years with disease she was taken to
Philadelphia last week for a second
operation, that being the last hope.
Accompanied by her physician she
was placed in Jefferson Hospital under
DIR. DeCosta, who at once prepared
the patient, and, assisted by Drs. Fisher
and Montgomery, removed a double
tumor, last Thursday afternoon. The
shock to the system of the sufferer
was too great and she passed away a
short time after regaining conscious.
ness, when she told the DIR. she was
going to die, and peacefully passed
away. The afflicted husband immed-
lately started for Philadelphia, upon
receiving the sad news, telegraphing
to Hon. r. R. Bringhurst to take
charge of the remains and prepare it
for shipment to Emporium, upon Mr..
HemphilPs arrival in Philadelphia.
Every attention and courtesy was
rendered by our good friend Bring
hurst and the fact that the call came
from Emporium, where his friends are
many, was all that he needed. Sheriff
Hemphill, accompanied by his cousin,
Miss Sadie P. Hemphill, of Philadel-
phia, arrived in Emporium, Saturday
morning at 5:10, the remains being
met at the depot by Mr.. Charles Rish-
ell, of LaBars undertaking establish
ment of this place, and a number of our
citizens and coveyed to the Jail resi-
dence, where the funeral took place
Sunday afternoons; Rev. Robt. Nc
Caslin, Pastor of First Presbyterian
Church, officiating, the singing upon
the impressive occasion being furnish
ed by choir of mixed voices from the
Episcopal Presbyterian, Methodist
and Baptist churches the deceased,
however and her family being attend
ants of Presbyterian Church. Rev Nc
Caslin's remarks We're very appro-
pirate The floral offerings We're many
and beautiful. The remains were
taken to Clearfeld, their old home, on
MnnIou f,,.
Deceased came to Emporium in 1855;
was lady of intelligence and energy,
being member of one of Clearfield's
Oldest and most respected families;
an elegant housekeeper, neat and
economical. She had many elegant
traits of character-kind to the poor
and afflicted and no hardship was too
much to endure. Four sons, all at
home for the funeral, Bingham, Ralph,
Orvis and Kerr-the latter coming
from Westboro, Wis, arriving here
Sunday noon. The afflicted family

sickness, are indeed entitled to the
| sympathy and coincidence of our peo-
pie. Sheriff Hemphill, a good citizen,
and kind friend, has battled hard and
manfully with fate, has hosts of friends
here who will encourage and comfort
him.

Eerns for Boston.

f. r. Smith of Greenfield does Tern
collecting on a large scale. He ships
ferns TO Boston during the season,
whici Nets from Aug. l to the middle
of Octorer He uses only the dagger
or sword fern. He has searched ABOUT
oil the woods within 10 miles OF
Greenfield, and knows pretty nearly
where this variety is to be found
The ferns are put in cold storage
on arrival at Boston and will keep all
winter.
1t is not unusual for him to come in
with only 5000 to 5000. On good
davs he sometimes gets as many as
10000. An average days work is
perhaps about 1900. The company
pays so cents a thousand for them.
The dealers wiH throw out any that
have broken fronds or spotted or miss
ing leaves, or do not have a graceful
top with the proper curving taper.
They are counted as they are picked,
and tied up SO in a bunch. They
must be carefully handled.
The constant picking of ferns is
said to make them grow more luxuri-
ously, so that the woods are not being
depleted by their use for this purpose.
They are never taken up by the
roots Owners Of land do not or
dinarily object TO having ferns pick
ed.
These ferns grow in the woods
usually on hill sides.
