In a general wag the out-look for the fall
potato crop in this valley is promising, but
those who watch the growth of tubers say
that blight has made its appearance in many
fields. No effort is made to prevent this
fungus disease, and should it become general
the yield will be very materially lessened.

Spring Mills.
County superintendent Gramley held the
teachers examination ‘‘bee’” in our village on
Monday last (29th ult.) Seven out of twenty-
two applications failed—one-third, that’s a
little rough. However three of the seven,
were finally successful ata subsequent ex-
amination.
There was some little racket here on the
“Fourth,” with fire crackers, just enough to
remind us that it was’nt Sunday nor any
ordinary day. In the evening there was to
be some pyrotechnics on what is called the
“hill”’—but the rain storm paevented it.
The junior base ball club of Spring Mills
had quite a lively game with the juniors of
Brushvalley, at Rebersburg, on Saturday last.
The score stood 5 to 9 in favor of our village.
The honors being, even. I presume they
will soon have the third contest for the
“championship.”
Our telephone communications with Mill-
heim and the lower end of the county after
being in operation for a day or two suddenly
terminated by the P. R. R. company cutting
the wires crossing their tracks at our village,
elevated 25 feet. Instead of cutting them
directly above the tracks, they trespassed on
other property to sever the wire. at the pole.
It looks very like a trespass, or a case of
malicious mischief.
The Republican ticket gave no satisfaction
in these valleys. The announcement of the
so called nominations were received with an-
gry frowns and disgust. Its personnel is be-
low mediocrity, and with one trifling excep-
tion, ail the candidates are from west of the
mountain and naturally the Republicans on
the Penns valley side are angry and out of
humor, which bodes no good to the party.
The ticket was set up by the Bellefonte ma-
chine a week before, changed several times
and finally slated Saturday evening or Sun-
day morning previous to the convention.
The convention itself was simply a farce and
entirely unnecessary, of course. A telegram
was sent to the Philadelphia Press on Mon-
day and printed on Tuesday morning, an-
nouncing the nominees correctly, excepting
C. P. Long for treasurer and M. M. Musser,
for commissioner. This ‘‘mistake’” was pur-
posely made to make it appear as if the pres-
ent ticket had not been ‘‘doctored” and set
up, but the dispatch deceived no one, every-
body knew better. The Republican ticket
now in the field, is exactly the one finally
agreed upon by the Bellefonte clique pre-
vious to the convention. A. V. Miller select-
ed for sheriff, IL ¢ ability but
is an office beggar, and has no influence—
cannot even command his party strength in
these valleys. Last fall the machine sad-
dled him on the party in spite of protests and
remonstrances, and of course he was elected
—to remain at home. His defeat again, is a
forgone conclusion. Harrison Kline, select-
ed by the combine for treasurer, is unknown
on this side of the mountain, his following
in this section may be counted with the fin-
gers, and both hands are not necessary.
Without exception the Republican ticket as
formed and promulgated by the Bellefonte
machine or combine, is the most unpopular
and weakest aggregation of candidates they
have had for years. It actually has no re-
deeming teatures, and owing to this section
being slighted and almost entirely #hored
they will evidently allow the election to go
by default. Besides some Republicans here
are not in favor of having their candidates
manufactured for them by a conclave of sor-
did politicians in lawyers offices who
generally dispose of the nominations to the
highest bidder. The county campaign is
now open and regret is expressed, that ow-
ing to the dissatisfaction among the rank and
file of the Republican party in this locality
the contest will be very lame and one sided.
The election of the entire Democratic ticket

TuE LecTURE.—Last Friday evening our
valley was the scene of an unusual political
gathering and a very enthusiastic meeting,
which assembled in the hall at Rebersburg.
After Jos. K. Moyer was chosen president;
Prof. H. E. Bierly, secretary and C. C. Loose,
Willis Weber and Uriah Shaffer vice presi-
dents, the speaker of the evening, Hon. Wil-
lis R. Bierly, of North Dakota, was intro-.
duced. His lecture was on the financial
question from a silver stand point. It wasa
masterly analysis, exposition and ‘criticism of
this important question. Mr. Bierly is a
pleasing orator and he held the individed
attentien of his audience for one hour and a
half. The hall was not large enough to hold
the people who came from all parts of the
valley to hear the question discussed. Such
logical and able discussions are just the forces
necessary to dispel the gold illusion haunting
too many of our eastern Democrats and they
are absolutely necessary for a comprehensive
knowledge of to-days’s needs.
Next week we will publish the address
