"A dozen or more OF the young folk of
this town have pitched tents at pleasant
spot on the banks of Tionests creek at the
upper end of the CASTOR pond, and will
enjoy camping life for couple of weeks.
Their mamas will take "turn-about" in
chaperoning the youngsters" and they
expect to have the best time ever.

purchased the hardware store of f. X.
Lanson here and is conducting it under

C. W. Osgood, who is engaged in
peeling bark on tract near Henry's
Bend, on the Allegheny river, took the

There's been too much dry weather
in these parts for crops of all kinds.
Corn is standing it all right and looks
fine, but the hay crop, which is now pref
ty we'll harvested, is considerably below
the average, while oats are about what
might be termed failure. Potatoes are
badly in need of good soaking rains else
they will be very short crop in most
places. In many fields the stalks are
wilted and dead with the tubers only
about half grown.

1t was only few drops of rain that
fell here on Sunday, but that may be
en- ough, for it was st. Swithin's day, and
may bring about the much desired result.
The rhyme is an old one but will bear
repeating in the light of the fact that
nearly every one is praying for rain, and

1t is not easy to learn to keep a
household account book all at once. A
young husband gave his wife a neat lit
