Few farmers are aware of t ho ex
tent of thoforeigu upple timli. in
this country. Tliey do not know
that in favorable seasons we have
sent to Europe over two million
barrels of apples. Sen-elm y Moi
ton has Just made known the fact
that during tho nine months ending
September 1S0I (treat Britain alone
paid this country 2,500,000 for the
apples we sold her ; and it was n,t
a very good apple year either. In
the face of the present depressed
prices of the ordinary farm products
we have in this a fact that is deserv
ing of careful attention and consid
eration. It is seldom that more ap
ples are grown here in Snyder coun
ty than are required for homo con
sumption. We never have any to
spare to send away. Tho apples
that are exported nearly all come
from New York ami Now England.
and are found bv the farmers in
these states to bo a much more
profitable crop than wheat, corn or
oats.
It is commonly held in this locali
ty that there is no money in the
orchard.

Gentlemen :
The present struggle being waged
iu every county throughout tho
State of Pennsylvania, within tho
ranks of the Republican party, for
the purpose of determining which
factional element shall dominate our
Stateorganization, will, if continued
to the cud, doubtloss result in a bit
ter contest for the State Chairman
ship, at the coming State Conven
tion to be held iu Harrisburg, on
August 28th next, and tho question
having been raised that tho delegate
to the State Convention and the
nominee for County Surveyor were
irregularly chosen and not in con
formity with the rules of tho party,
the Chairman deems it expedient
that iu order to hazard no chances
as to seatiug tho dologato from Sny.
bor couuty, be, as well as tho candi-
ate for County Surveyor should be
choseu as heretofore, in tho same
manner in which the representative
in the General Assembly is nomin
ated, to wit bV a direct vote of the
people, which is the only proper and
awful method in counties whore the
Crawford County system of voting
prevails, and I therefore make the
announcement that there will boa

Comuitte in the Court House on

The Teachers and tho Pafwrs.
A couuty superintendent in
neighboring county recently asked
every teacher at the couuty institute
who took their local paper to hold
up their hand, aud out of about one
hundred present only six responded.
at which ho expressed great surprise
and said : "You do not spend one
dollar a year with thoso papers, yet
you expect thorn to priut, froo of
charge, notices of institutes, insert
long programs of same, aud full re
ports of what you say and do on
those occasions, aud thus expoct
them to advertiso you and your abili
ties in your profession, thus assist
ing you to climb the bidder to high
er positions and better salaries with
out a cent postago in return." He
closed by saying : "Your condition
in this paper would load me, were I
an editor of these papers, to prompt
ly throw into tho wusto basket any
communications sent iu by any so
ciety tho members of which wero too
proud or too stingy to take a paper,
or if I inserted it to demand full ad
vertising rates for every lino pub
lished." Tho above Bpeaks for its
self and reveals a fact ull too true.
Simple courtesy to tho editors of
your local papers, as well as a pub
lic spirited iuteiost iu tho affairs of
tho community, demand that you
read and subscribe for tho local paper.
