No boy need despair of good for tune who has honesty, courage and industry for his capital stock. He has but to act well his pin t to find many helpful hands extended to him at the right time. There are so many failures in life because there is so great neglect of little things. "Are water-melons deteriorating!" asks an exchange. We answer, yes The largo luscious Jersey melon of to-day is no patching to the little half-ripe, white-seedod. chuck-full- of-cholera-morbus melons that used to follow us out of our neigbors' patches on the moon-light nights of our boy-hood days. If tiny one desires to know how keenly a paper from the old home is appreciated, let him sometime note his own feelings when away from home on seeing a copy. What is more, the sending of an occasional copy to friends abroud in this way, it uenents us, wlnle at tne same time it is taken as un act of kind re membrancn on the part of tho sen der. One of. those unreasonable men who take a newspaper lor a year or two nnd then send it back "refused' or not wanted was sued oy the publisher in Michigan a short time ago, nnd the Judge gave a verdict for the plain tiff of full amount ami costs. 1 ho court decided that no tice to discontinue was not stitli cient if the subscriber was in ar rears. He must pay. The Legislature passed n law last session, approved April i!., JHH'.i, providing the first Monday of Sep tember as a Labor holiday. The act provides for all paper due on that day to be paid the day before If the Legislature only knew it, tho laborer does not thank theso gentle men for their foolery. This makes eight legal holidays, and it is about timo the deinagoguery was wound up. D. A. Ftirman last Saturday killec; the lnrgost rattle snake mile west of Port Ann that has been killed in this county for years. The reptile lay close to the public road under a littlo branch of oak stung off by tho locusts, and attracted Mr. Furmau's attention by rattling as he passed in the wagon. He killed it and fouu it to measure four feet in lengtl three inches in diameter and shook fourteen rattles and a button.

Werecent- y noticed in some of our county papers an item to tho effect that Dr. Wagen seller, of Selinsgrove, hail been appointed Co. Physician on the S. nnd L. Railroad. This report is incorrect. Dr. A. M. Smith, of this place, still retains that position, and Dr. Wageuseller has been ap pointed nssistant. .1 dnnltiri Herttbl Those who cherish tho "unlucky Friday" superstition must regard the present year with particular listrust. It came in and will go out on Friday ; there are four months in it having five Fridays each ; the ongest and the shortest of its days on Friday ; nnd its entire number oi rridnys is nity-tnree. ninn will be kept busy to dodge all of these ill-omened conditions. Adam Ferster has the correct idea of true business principles. Last Thursday ho came into our office and inquired what we would barge, to send the Post to two new subscri bers at Evandale, Juniata county one year. "One dollar and n half each, invariably in advance," we re plied. "That's the stuff" replied Adam, "keep them nil alike nnd here's the money for myself nnd J, A. Shirk." Tho Second Annual Snyder coun ty Choir Convention will be held in Rower's Grove, 1 mile west of Mid dleburgh, Pa., Saturday Aug.

A Story and Clark grand organ will be fur nished by C. C. Seebold. Bring lunch, or if desired, will be served by S. Rowen, superintendent of tho grounds, a cordial invitation is extended to nil citizens and lovers of music. All trains on the S. & I R. R. will stop at the grounds. Ex cursion tickets. Wm. Moveh, Pros, H. I. Romio, Sec. Merchants in the State of Peun sylvania are required each year to pay what is known as n mercantile license. They pay for conducting a legitimate business, remarks an ex change, and for this reason they are protected from peddlers nnd hawk ers of various wares. Tho law abso lutely forbids tho peddling of any merchandise without license, except that residents of the state may se articles of their own manufacture, But license to hawk and peddle may be obtained by n citizen of the Unit ed States upon the certificate of two practicing physicians of the county that the applicant is by reason of physical inability, unable to follow a trud or gain u livelihood by man ual labor. This is one of the goot! laws of the state that is not enforc ed as it should be, and merchant ought to organize tv movement against peddlers that would drive them to other fields or put them out of business entirely. No person, ex cept a cripple, has a right to impose upon the rights of merchants who pay for the privilege of doing busi ness, and a decided movement against these venders would be service to the storekeepers and the people alike. It is Observed That the wind now blows over the oats stubbles. That Bomo of the street lamps in franklin have been turned down so low that the burner melted. That if you nlwnys do the right thing at the right time you'll never bo left. That the board walk is a big im provement and is only intended for tho use of those who contributed towards its construction. That every family in Snyder coun ty takes tho Post nnd those who lon't take it barrow it from neigh bors. That Mother Hubbards have be- come very fashionable just now and cease to look suspicious. That the biggest fish always get nwny. That a little education often makes a big fool. That the fly crop never fails. That no bug has been invented that eats planting leaves nnd chick weed. That the man who got the last word in his dispute with n woman a few days ago is now ready to whis- tlo for a wager against a locomtive That even a town council gets damned sometimes. That the Post is Hearing the 1 UK) notch. West Reaver. George you are one horse-feed ahead of the boys in going to Bush meeting unless Treaster demands pay. "In passing along the HatmcrvihV Hack Conductor seemed to feel the effects of his whisky, by the loud talk he had with some of his passen gers," remarked an old lady who lives nlon'."" way. There i, 'V good deal of oath to ml in yet ul this writing in the lower end of W. B. West Beaver was well represented at Bush meeting on last Sunday, so was the whiskey they drank. By nil appearance the corft crop will be good all over the county. Pseikonome. Troxei.vim.k. On Sunday Rev. A. E. Erdmau preached a trial sermon in the St. .lumen church at this place. The Philip F. Smith property was not sold on Saturday us advertised. Stool pigeon's are not always bene ficial. A. M. Schamhnch of Mitllinburg attended the festival on Saturday evening. Millard is the same jolly old fellow ns he always was. but still refuses to divulge that sheep story. Miss Ida, yours was a clear case of biting off your nose to spite your face, on Saturday evening. The Band festival on Saturday was a grand success, financially as well as otherwise. An immense crowd was in attendence. Y here were representatives here from three adjoining counties, and the band realized a net profit of $'.2, for which they return thanks. "Trap per Jim" with his monkios acquitted himself noblj Calikouma Joe, Loweil. Some of tho farmers are through plowing for their fall crops. West Beaver was well represented at Bush Meeting and all seemed to enjoy the trip. The Hall boys could not see the point of paying $2 a piece for the loan of a spring wagon to go to Bush Meeting, but they saw the point in Mrs. Dunn taking the horse after they t rented him to a squaro feed of oats. T. F. Swineford reports havin hauled 2,000 feet of green lumber out of Hassinger's woods with four head of stock. Next. Having had for the first time on last Sunday the privilege of taking the editor of tho Post by the hand, we desire to say that we found him just as he is represented by his ma ny friends in this section. Some folks who have never seen an editor may have formed an idea that they, are brutes, but this is not the case with Tom. U. No. Grove Meeting. Notwithstanding tho inclemency of tho weather a goodly number gathered in the grove on Monday evening, to hear the ord of Life. Rev. S. Auraud, tho speaker, se lected for his discourse St. John 14: rt. He very plainly showed the au dience that the only way to heaven was through Christ Jesus. Tuesdey evening Rev. W. N. Wal- lis, spoke on the many different ex cuses made by sinners in our days for not serving God. He based his remarks on thel IC. 15th verse of St. Luke. Wednesday evening Prof, A. E. Gobble, A. M., w ho was on his way home from York stopped and preach ed for us in his earnest ami for ward manner from 1st Cor. 1st Ch. '23rd nnd 24th verses. Thursday evening Rev. J. 1). Stover made an earnest appeal to the unconverted telling them how very foolish it was even if they should gain the whole world and loose their own souls. His text was St. Mark, K:H. On account of the wet weather on Saturday morning, the Sunday School picniccrs did not arrive until noon, After several addresses, de livered by tho ministers, the chil- urcn were dismissed aim enjoyeii themselves by having a general good time. In the evening Rev. L. S. Reichard preached ton large audi ence, lie Hied to impress upon ins hearers minds that the truly out thing needful was religion. Sabbath morning dawned bright and beautiful. Our venerable presiding elder. Rev. I. M. Pines, was with us and preached two grand sermons. In the morning he se lected his text in St. Math. r:(. Rev . Aurand preached a sermon in ger man at 2:15. Tho rest of tho ex ercises were similar to those of last Sabbath. After Rev. I. M. Pines again preached a soul-stirring ser moii. We considered the grovt meet Hi'' as being beneticial to our souls, S. T. Vukst, Centhevu.i.k. The festival on Sat urday evening was prettv fairly at tended.

How any fish can escape with his life in Middlecreek is u mystery. Ev ery day the "good places" along the creek are lined with anglers who use every known means to catch the finny beings. But Hying, trolling spooning, nnd spearing has thus far failed with some of the big'uus which are known to still exist. Sev end four-pound carp and three pound bass have beeu taken "out of the wet," while otitis which are supposed to be still larger have their noses ringed with fish-hooks.
