In 1896 and 1900 il is calculated Mr.

New Orchard Pest.

State Zoologist Surface on
Monday received series of re-

indicate that the leaf blister mite,
an insect almost as destructive
of fruit trees as the scale, had
been discovered in several OF the
fruit growing counties of the
state and was causing havoc.
''rhe reports L have received
from several of the largest fruit
growing counties in Pennsylvania
would indicate that this tiny IN
sect is dong $4,000 worth of
damage to the orchards of the
state. The mite does it's work
on the under sides of leaves of
apples and and pear trees, and Is
literally blight. Itseems to have
spread alarmingly and threat

SOLDIERS REUNION.
Held in The Fulton County Veterans
Association Grounds Last
Friday.
LARGE CROWD AND WEATHER IDEAL.

On Friday last, the customary
large and representative number
of Fulton county people attended
the reunion of the Civil War Vet
Grams at the Associations camp
ground near Mr.. Wesley Hoops
home in Licking Greek township.
With the exception of consider
able dust on the thoroughfares
and within the grounds, the
weather was perfect-just the
proper sort of day to spend IN the
woods among old friends and
neighbors. The crowd was typ.
cal CT Fulton county and one of
which it hasa right to feel proud:
for one could go far and fail to
find a more prosperous looking
and better behaved lot of people
than those who were helping the
Old Soldiers make their annual
picnic success. Scarcely a hint
of ruwdyism and disorder was to
be noticed throughout the day,
while every where and at all times
good natured tolerance and help
fulness were much in evidence.
The McConnellsburg Band was
present and enter tanned the
crowd with a generous lot of en-
joyable music. Those who were
inclined to athletics, found a
continuous performance from ten
o'clock IN the morning until five IN
the evening In the meadow oppo-
site the home of Squire Daniels,
on Patterson's Run. For those
who cared to listen, there was a
literary and musical program
both morning and afternoon.
Following the Invocation by the
Rev. S. B. Houston, Mr., H. E.
Saville, of McConnellsburg, de
livered the address of welcome,
which was responded to by the
Rev. Mr.. Barney, of Bedford.
With Mr.. Barney's address, the
meeting was adjourned in favor
of refreshments. In the after
noon, addresses were given by
the Rev. Mr.. Kline, of Huston
town, Mr.. Edward H. Reisner, of
McConnellsburg, and Comrade
Van Horn, Of Everett. Miss Ruth
KeL dali, of the Cove. also favored
the audience with recitation.
However, the greater number
of persons present were of the
opinion that listening to speeches
was Jess enjoyable than visiting
with their friends, and this strong
majority was busily engaged in
renewing old acqualntances and
cementing new ties of friendship.
And, after all, the Reunion is a
picnic above all else, and as such
the day must be regarded as a
great success. Fulton county,
as well as any other county IN the
State, needs just such a common
holiday, when men aud women
from all directions may meet and
exchange greetings and ideas
and we owe a vote of thanks to
the old Soldiers for the opportun
ity of joining with them at their
convenient, well-appointel and
well-governed place of meeting,
