Greencastle; which for a num

valley without a cent of bonded

holds the distinction, unique in
the state, of not having a levy nor

Some boys do not earn $20 a
year, yet they can afford to smoke
cigarettes and to use tobacco in
other forms. Little boys should
think it over seriously before com
mencing to use tobacco. Boys
who do not use the weed or loaf
continuously on the streets are
much better models to follow. No
boy should wish to pattern after
a profane, foul-mouthed, worth
less street loafer.

Mrs. Mary Golden, aged 82
years, duplicated her girlhood's
wot k in the harvest field on the
farm of her son, Isaac Golden, in
Adams county, and bound sever
al sheaves of wheat just to show
the younger generation that she
had not forgotten how to rake np
the work that in her younger
days was the commonwork of

Golden enjoyed this recurrence

Two fine large church chande
liers for sale at a bargain. Kero
sene burners. Have been used
in Presbyterian church. Taken
out to make room for gasoline
system. Inquire of J. G. Rets
ner. Our old friend George Mills,
formerly of Union township, but
now extensively engaged in farm
ing in Maryland, has just
threshed the wheat from 120
acres and got 4,200 bushels. He
has 80 acres yet to thresh,
which will yield as well as the
first, and he expects to have a
total crop of 7,000 bushels. His
elevator man says no finer wheat
ever grew in Washington county.
The crop was cut with two eight
foot binders, took 610 lbs. twine,
and required 14 head of horses.
He has about 60 acres in corn
with prospects for a bumper
crop.
. Mr. Denton Hendershot, one
of Fulton county's substantial
farmers, was in town yesterday.
Hands being a little scarce this
harvest, he climbed onto the bind
er and drove it ten days, which is
a pretty good record for a man
that is "not as young as he used
to be." Mr. Hendershot says,
that while the straw is good, he
does not think the yield of wheat
this harvest will be up to expec
tations.
Mr. JobTruax, stand up! Since
you sent your timothy heads in,
we have received two from your
neighbor Amos Plessinger, that
measure 11 inches, and 11 1 inches
respectively. While you did not
tell us about your rye, Mr. Pies
singer says that from one grain
sown on his farm last fall, there
grew 38 heads, aggregating a
yield of 1 746 grains. At that
rate you see, if one grain yields
1746 grains, 1 bushel would yield
1746 bushels. Now as to value:
The one bushel of seed rye is
worth about 75 cents, and 1746
bushels is worth 1746 times 75
cents, which is $1,309.50. It is
plain to the Editor that there is
more money raising rye than run
ning the Fulton County News.

The recent Ruling of the post-

sent in. Kindly give this your
attention, as it. is anything but
pleasant to call attention to it.

Too Much Like Work,
The happy mother of a seven-
months-old baby, whose chief business
seems to be making a noise In 'he
world, was paying her sister a visit,
and the other evening young Master
Harry, aged seven years, was dele
gated to care for the baby while his
elders were at dinner. So he wheel
ed it back and forth, forth and back,
the length of the library, giving vent
to his sentiments by singing, much to
the amusement of the family:
"Gee whli! I'm glad I'm free,
No wedding bells for me."
Why Run RliksT
A Canadian author wrote an anthem
tor a recent celebration In Toronto.
Toward the end of the exercises,
when the people were going out a lew
at a time, the author rushed to the
conductor and said:
"Is It over?"
"Practically."
"But. Great Scott! man, they have
not sung my anthem!"
"Well," said the conductor, "so long
as the people are going out peacefully
and quietly, why sing It at allT"

"Vy do you watch your little Able

"I know: but dis morning he swal

Never forget Anything.
A successful business man told
me there were two things which
he learned when he was eighteen,
which were ever afterwards of
great use to him, namely: "Never
to lose anything and never to for
get anything." An old lawyer
sent him with an important pa
per, with certain instructions
what to do with it. "But," in
quired the young man, "suppose
I lose it; what shall I do then ?"
"You must not lose It!" "I don't
mean to," said the young man,
"but suppose I should happen
to?" "But I say you must not
happen to; I shall make no provis
Ion for any such occurrence; you
must not lose it !"
This put a new train of thought
into the young man's mind, aud
he found that if he was determin
ed to do a thing he could do it.
He made such a provision against
every contingency that he never
lost anything. He found this
equally true about forgetting. If
a certain matter of importance
was to be remembered, he pinned
it down on his mind, fastened it
there, and made it stay. He used
tosay: "When a man tells me
that he forgot to do something, I
tell him he might as well have
said: 'I do not care enough about
your business to take the trouble
to think of it again. ' " I once
had an intelligent yourg man in
my employment who deemed it
sufficient excuse for neglecting
any important task tosay: "1 for
got it." I told him that would
not answer. If he was sufficient
ly interested, he would be careful
to remember. It was because he
did not care enough that he for
got it. I drilled him with this
truth. He worked for me three
years, and during the last of the
three be was utterly changed in
this respect. He did not forget
a thing. His forgetting, he
found, was a lazy and careless
habit of the mind, which he cur

The Flat Iron.
When the thermometer drop
ped below zero Mrs. Rogers was
much disturbed by the thought
that Huldah, the new kitchen
maid, slept in an unheated room.
"Huldah," she said, remember
ing the good old custom of her
girlhood, "it's going to be pretty
cold to night. I think you had
better take a flat iron to bed with
you."
"Yes, ma'am," assented Hul
dab without enthusiasm.
Mrs. Rogers, happy in the be
lief that her maid was comfort
able, slept soundly. In the morn
ing she visited the kitchen.
"Well, Huldah, how did you get
along with the flat iron ?"
Huldah breathed a deep sigh of
recollection.
