THE WHEAT THRESHING
SEASON ON

The threshing of wheat is now
being pushed with the vigor by the
farmers. There are a number of
steam threshers in the country and
they are unequal to the present de-
mand. The farmers are anxious to
get their crops threshed for two
reasons, to save the trouble of
stacking, and to be ready for the
first which has usually been the
best market. Years ago, when the
custom was to stack the wheat and
thresh in August or September,
the man who was good stacker
was a man of note in the farming
community, but now wheat stack
ing has almost degenerated to one
of the 'lost arts" The reapers
and binders, supplemented by
the steam thresher has greatly
simplified and made easy the work
of the farmer and especially the
work of his wife in providing for
a host of laborers so long, though
the crop with many has been quad
rupled.

YOUNG SMYRNA MEN
BRANCHING OUT

Two of our comparatively young
men who have heretofore been in
the employ of others have conclud-
ed to set up for themselves, name
ly, Joseph Stephenson and Jos. B.
HUM. The first named, who learn
ed the trade of paper hanging
some years ago in Philadelphia and
has shown great proficiency the
past several years is working for
Joseph E. Carter, in paper hanging
and painting has rented a house in
Centreville, Nd, whittier he ex-
poets to move in about a month.
While regretting to lose Mr.. Steph-
enson from our town, we congratu-
late the citizens of Centreville in
securing a workman so competent.
In regard to the last named, who
has rented shop and opened for
business on Market Street, we can
say, as in the other case, he has
been in the town for some years
past in the shop of G. A Wick, and
is well known by the patrons of
the tonsorial chair.
