Har lly a part of Centre County yet not a part of Clearfield. Philipsburg is a soit of ligament binding together like siamese twins the two great counties of Centre and Clearfield, Geographically the ancient borough of the Philipses and the township of Rush should be a purt of Clearfield, but her citizens don't care to sever their connection with Centie to become a part of our sister county. There is astrong desire for a separate county with Philipsbnrg as the County seat. And if money could bring about that result her people would put up the necessary amount. The centre of a vast and wealthy mining district, hergrowth has been indeed remarkable even for a mining town. And yet there is nothing in the character of the town outside of its mining population, or rather outside of the mining people who crow its busy streets that wouid mark it as the mining Metropolis. Her buildings are solid and substantial, put up in the firm conviction that the growth of the town is not dependent on any one branch of industry. Elegant public buildings, pri- vate residences and rows of solid brick business houses, say to the visitor “our town is here to stay”.

Highbee, superintendent of public instruction, has issued a circular fixing Friday, October 19, as an automn school arbor day. He says: “Many of our schools, for various reasons, were not able to observe the regular arbor day in answer to the governor's proela- mation. We are anxious that the good work so happily begun may continue, and give still larger results for the bene. fit of the schools, and for the general good of the commonwealth. It is not necessary to confine arbor day work ex. clusively to the planting of trees. The proper grading of school grounds, the removal of stones and all refuse, the careful guarding of trees against the winter winds, the protection of tender shrubbery from destructive frosts, the dissemination of useful information on the subject of fruit and shade trees, of forestry, and landscape gardening, the gathering and storage of seeds for the next spring's planting, botanie lessons especially devoted to the flora of the dis. trict, with reports from season to season of what has been done in the locality, what good results have followed there from, and what it Is proposed shall yet be done—all these are proper subjects for arbor day observance, and well de serve attention, ~Look out for I ng | livi : 5 this nw 1 v ” ! i- § InsCT bed on the y ber 1 Specialist, H. 8.

In every instance in which thig has been it has always been coupled with an attack on the south and on the Democratic party. These same mer- chants are always pleased “to sell goods to the very men who they are assailing 80 vigorously. The result of this politi. cal action on their part is that the ma- jority of the southern merchants go on to New York to buy their goods, while even Pennsylvania Democratic mer- chants are now resenting the insult of- fered them and their party by these “business men’ of Philadelphia, purchasing elsewhere, While Philade phia is the largest manufacturing city in the United Sates her products can only find maket through the great job bing houses of New York. The south- ern trade of which she had a monopoly before the war and the bulk of which she ought to control now is driven by her intense “business politics” to other cities.

The yellow fever epidemic has created sogreat a panie that it is impos. sible to have the crop in Florida gather. ed, and the fruit is said to be now rot- ting on the ground. And even if gath- ered, it could not be shipped North be. cause of the strict guarahiine. The market will have to depend on foreign grown oranges, and they are inferior quality, so that those who indulge their fondness for that fruit will have to put up will a poor article, even though they pay two prices. ~All the “signs,” according to those versed in such n "point to a severe ‘winter. Those who pay aftention to weather signs note the fact that grapes, persimmon, acorns and mast and nuts, ete., were never known more abundant than this fall, and according to our fore fathers, this indicates very cold weather. How the hornets build their nests is another infallible indication, and this year they have chosen the tops of the tallest trees. They do this, it is said, in obedience to some Instinctive foroknow- ledge of the approach of a severe tem. perature, but why it would not be just as comfortable down below, it is not ex. plained. «About this time of the y YOOr newspa. per readers may get ready for the usual recital of fatal hunting accidents, Some of these will tell how the imlucky hunter adiy Woundel Ms the acoldent.

We judge that the acreage put out was double of any previous year, und the yield is huge. The high prices last fall, running up to 75 cents per bushel, stimulated the planting of more potatoes. We hear of farmers who have taken as high as four hundred bushels off of a single acre, while from 200 to 300 bushels is a com. mon thing. Potatoes are now being de. livered on track, at Centre Hall and Coburn for 25 cents cash per bushel. At this low price it is the most profitable crop the farmer has. The farmer has from #75 to #100 from the acre, while the best he can realize from wheat or corn, would be from #18 to #25. Potatoes with a fair yield at 18 cents per bushel will pay better than wheat at 81.00, While on the subject of potatoes, we may mention that thé editor of the Rural New Yorker stated in his journal that he could raise 700 bushels to the acre, The editor of an agrienltural Journal in Philadelphia bet him 85% that he could not. The bet was toade, The Rural editor planted his potatoes on the French plan, in trenches, with firtilizers on the bottom, rows three feet apart, and hills one foot apart, and trenches leveled with the ground so as to tarn off no rain, Three kinds were planted, and the potatoes were rateed last week, and the yield was some 500 bushels to the acre, the New York man losing his the rate of 1081 ‘another at the rate of at the rate of ie of 01d he hi »y A out by ] i i : : | { shou fi Ml CIty bet.

Constant contact with the var fous elements of the stred has the ten. deney of making them bold and of times They Tall fnito “fast” style of talk and manner indulged in st the time to attract the opposite sex and with the ul- timate hope of winning their approba- tion. This may do for the particular evening and attract men of the baser type for an hour's amusement, but the end sought for is lost by the means tak. en for to secure it, This reckless inter. mingling with the public enltivates bad taste and immodest pleasures. The ex- citement and satisfaction of making street conquests is doubtless a pleasant exercise of this taste. But it is a very expressive one to any girl who desires to realize the dream of a happy marriage and a pleasant howe. Men admire pur. ity and modesty in women, and always want their wives betterithan themselves.
