by an agent to take out a ten-payment

$500, in tho Union Central Life
Insurance Company, of Cincin
nati, O. For this she paid 30 at

aud 30 a year thereafter until

made. Last Ihursday, Mr. A.
J. Decker, of Altoona, one of the
Company's general agents, came
over and placed in Mrs. Woollet's
hands a check for 321.59 in set
tlement of the policy.
When it is considered that Mrs.
Woollet had a protection of 300
from Hie day she took out the
policy, and that at the end of
eighteen years the Company re
turned to her every cent she had
paid in, and 111.39 besides

The Luscious Fruit Will Be In Abnndance
During the Coining Season.
Notwithstanding the unseason
able weather, winch has had such
a marked effect on the fruit and
vegetablo market tne last six
months, it is generally believed
that this year's watermelon crop
will be of usnnl siz ! and up to the
standard in quality. Watermel
ons are already in the market at
30 to (50 cents apiece, according
to size, and these have been com
ing from Florida, where weather
conditions have made them good.
There will e no large demand
for them in the local markets un
til the regulation "water inelou
weather." N
Florida melons will reach their
height shortly, and continue for
about a mouth longer, aud then
the Georgia and New Jersey
crops, starting in about the same
time, will supply the demand.
These will last through July and
August, and then will come the
"Dixie" melons, the long slim
ones, which are grown in Mary
land, and which are now making
formidable strides toward tirst
place iu popular favor, though
none that grows is considered
better than the melon from New
Jersey. All through the summer
too. little coasting vessels bring
in cargoes from tlie Carohnas,
and the patches in those sUtes
are reported to be iu prune con
dition this year. All that the
watermelon now needs, indeed,
is the hot weather, which creates
tho water melcn appetite. Doc
tors and dietests agree that it is
one of the most healthful fruits
known, but insist that it should
not be eaten during periods of
low temperature, even though
such a period is of very brief dur
ation.
Dr. Barton Resigns.
Prof. Joseph F. Bartm, for
nineteeu years a teacher iu Ship
pensburg Normal School, has re
signed. More than lOOOstudents
have been graduated since he
came to the school. He goes to

Minn., as instructor in the de

au appoiutment as manager of
the educational department of the
Public Service Club in Minneapo
lis. While the Doctor's many
Fulton county friends regret that
he is leaving the old Keystone
State, they join iu wishing that he
may find his new work pleasant.
