"Farm Journal" is the leading farm nancr of the country. Its ed itor was raised at the plow handles, and knows what he is talking about. We have an arrangement with the "Farm Journal" by which .

Wilkesbarreans were over tardy in mailing an important letter and as a result that city has lost the State Fair. The necessary amount to secure the attraction, $2000, had been nearly raised, and the action of the committee in going to another city is being condemned by the people of Luzerne's capital. Lan caster will get the fair. On a certain hotel register, not long since, but we are not going to tell what hotel, appeared the fol lowing : "W. K. R. Notman and wife. Xorfrom, Pa."

The art of selecting good water melons and cantaloupes is now be ing taxed for all there is in it. The rules which were once reliable are said to be short of satisfaction these times. Whether or not this Is due to a change in the eyes or noses of the people or to the fruit not being gotten up on the same lines it was once, folks are not prepared to say, but all agree that they are not lucky now a days in getting the worth of of their money, as they were in years gone by.
