Troffssor Mil son's Opportunity.
Free-trader Wilson, who has lately
accepted the presidency of Washing
ton and Lee University, Virginia, is
reported to have said, in reference to
his acceptance : "I was influenced, I
may say captivated, br the possibil
ities of making this institution
great center of sound learning and
sound citzenship, a power to repro
duce in the South gome of that high
thinking that made her leadership in
past generations so conservative and
yet national." We would suggest
to Mr. Wilson that the first step
toward securing this result should be
the acquisition by himself of a more
thorough and correct knowledge of
his country of its industries, its re
sources, its possibilities. That Mr.
Wilson doe not uow possess such
knowledge is conclusively proven by
the provisions of the Wilson bill, ev
ery line of which told of grossest
ignorance of the couutry's needs or
else of total disregard for such needs.
The second step which should be tak
eu by Mr. Wilson is the cultivation
f such a spirit of patriotism that he
will prize the praise of his own coun
trymen more highly than the plaudits
f their British business rivals; such
spirit of patriotism that he will not
foel most at homo when he sits with
is knee under the table of British
free traders. We hone, indeed, that
Washington and Lee University may
e a "center of sound learning and
sound citizenship," but befoie that
day comes the president of the uni
versity must himself be a man of
sound learning and sound citizen-
hip." To attain this much desired
nd, the professor must delve deeply
nto the plain principles inculcated
through a good protectiou library.

Harvesting Has Begun In Texas.
From Dallas, the metropolis of
Northern Texas, comes the news that
harvesting has begun. The song of
the reaper and the hum of the mower
are heard in all the great grain-grow-
ng region south and west of the Red
River, known geographically as Cen
tral and Northern Texas and the
Panhandle. The promise is of the
argest grain crop in the history of
that region.
Estimates by conservative observ
ers place the wheat yield at 20,000,-
000 to 25,000,000 bushels, worth on
the market from $12,000,000 to $15,-
000,000, while tbe oats crop is esti
mated to be worth $8,000,000. The
dispatch tells of the great demand
for labor in the grain and cotton-
growing sectioos of the Lone Star
Slate. The dispatch adds: "This,
together with the million-dollars now
being put into builnings in Dallas,
has revived hope and trade with
everybody."
Some crank in the Illinois Legisla
ture offered a bill recently making it
a misdemeanor to publish an obituary
which made the deceased appear to

his conduct during life would warrant.

If such a law would discourage peo
ple from perpetrating the "Dearest
Willie, thou has left us" poetry upon
tbe public it would seem to be almost
worthy of consideration. But the
old Latin maxim which admonishes
us to "speak only good of the dead,'
appears to give pretty general satis
faction. A Byron puts it
When man dies, unon his tomh in seen
Not what he was but what he should have
oeen.
Aaa mat is about the truth of it.
If the average obituary cannot be re
garded as a specimen of veracity
worthy of imitation in all things, it
may be looked upon as an ideal
standard of ncht livinn. towards
which all men should aiiu, so that no
ro.nu that knew them could read their
obituary without feeling that it was
all true Ihinx'y Spirit.

The (Jrangrcrs Picnic
According to previous announcements
the members of Forest Grange, No. RiS,
P. of II., held their second annual picnic
Saturday, June 6, In a beautiful grove
near their hall on Cropp Hill, It being a
beautiful day, J tint right for a picnic.
Patrons and friends began to assemble
and until high noon they kept coining,
when it was ascertained that there were
over ono hundred present. Atlast prep
arations were made for dinner, and as ev
erybody brought well-filled bankots, the
feast was spread, and such a feast, we
will leavo the render to Imagine, as it was
too bountiful and tempting to describe.
To say that it was not a success socially,
Intellectually and "8toniachatorily"(this
last word means plenty of good things to
oat, and extra good appetites to enjoy It)
would be anything but the truth. The
ehject, or I should say, the objects, of the
picnic were : first, to havo a good social
time and general public visit, and thus
get better acquainted with friends and
neighbors our brothers and sisters by
the common bond of relationship, agri
culture. In this respoct we havo every
reason to bollovo we were successful.
While the older niombers of our asscm
blnge were busy chntting and talking
over common interests and enjoying
themselves in their own way, the men
and women of the near future were mak
ing good use of a large awing which they
had put up for their own special pleasure.
Our second object, and I will name but
two, was to have guch speakers present
that we might by their aid convince the
farmers of this section that there exists
to-day certain great public evils, such as
extravagant use of public funds, unwise
legislation, and to show that farmers
themselves are greatly icsponsible for
this and to show them how weak and
powerless they were to combat, single
handed, the great powers that have
sprung up that threaten the homes even
ot the most industrious tillers of the soil
and to show that organization is the only
way to combat unfriendly organizations,
and last but not least, that the grange,
which has been established in every stale
In the Lnion, is the best organization that
the farmers can possibly join to help
them regain the power that has boon
stolen from them by those whom their
votes had sent to make laws in their In
terest in our State. Owing to the absence
of the State Lecturer till afternoon, the
program was not commenced till 2 p. in.,
when it was promptly responded to by
some very beautiful and appropriate
singing, alternating botween addresses
delivered by. W. T. Hill, State Lecturer,
of Westford, Crawford county, Pa., Kev.
Huzza, Farmer I. E. Dean, Tionesta, and
Mr. Wbeeloek of Limestcne Grange,
Warren county, Pa., after which the ex
ercises were adjourned till 8:30 p. m.
When we again assembled in the hnll we
had the pleasure of listening to a very
entertaining and instructive lecture on
Pending Legislation, by W. F. Hill, af
ter which everybody returned home feci
ing that they couldn't bave spent a more
profitable and enjoyable time any whore
in the country.

Decoration Day at Hickory.
Not since the observance of the first
Decoration Day iu our Nation's history
was the day so completely dedicated to
the. memory of our dead as it was at
Hickory on Saturday last.
Although the weather wns not encour
aKing, yet the people ventured forth with
one mind and heart, to do reverence to
our Nation's dead, and honor to them
selves. Every grave here lays a hero
of the past, within the limits of our Post,
was suitably decorated and the comotery
at Hickory was no mass of beautiful
flowers.
The Orator of the Day, Rev. J. E. Hil
lard, delivered an eloquent address, "the
best I ever listened to," said many. Not
all knew how tig we are, until they
learned trie lact from that address.
After dinner nearly three hours were
devoted to recitation by the young folks
wlilcu rrequoutly brought storms of ap
plause. There were about forty that re
sponded to the bugle call. These recita
tions frequently moved the vast assem
bly to tears. How they carried us back
to those dreadful days of lSttl-5. Those
young people deserve more than a sim
ple notice liko this, but where shall we
begin to do thorn anything like justice,
and then whero shall we end the story
due to all. They live to-day enshrined
in the memory and heart of overy boy in
blue, as well as in every true American
citizen.
The music, both vocal and instrumen
tal, was of the best, but we have more to
say for Hickory: None of our young
people Indulged In anything that would
disgrace themselves or throw ablight
over the memories of the day, no danc
ing, no horse racing and no ball games
were indulged in by them on that day.
In this fact our youug friends stand head
and shoulders above many other com
munities who perhaps desire greater re
nown. To those who indulgo in those
things on Decoration Day we say take the
little town of Hickory for your example
and be consistent on that solemn day
hereafter. t4
