And why should not tho farmers adopt broad tirea for tboir burden wagon T Iron is cheap ; cheaper now than it has ever been. The broad tiro helps to keep roads in order, lessens the load to the horses, and preserves the wagon. In the early periods of this country when there wore practically no roads, the broad tires were common, and after pike roads were established the val ue o? a broad tire to tue roads was recognized in the reduction of tolls to the wagon with a broad tire below those charged wagons witn a nar row tire. Why can we not go back to the very sensible and economics tire common ia our early history f Meeting of Fish Association. On Saturday next, (30th inst.) tho subscribers to membership in the Snydor county Fish Protective As sociation, are requested to meet at tho court bouse iu Middloburgh, at 10 o'clock A. M., for tho purpose of finally organizing said association. Tho above may drop as a surprise to many of our citizeus who aro not subscribers to tho membership, and it may not bo out of pluco to state here a few of tho roasons why our poople doom it of incalculable bene fit to effect such nn organization. For many years- in fact ever sinco our food fishes have become scarcer evory year it has been the general talk that some means ought to bo provided by which our inland streams could bo replenished with fish that are known to have inhabited thorn yoars ago, and such other species as are adapted to our streams. Our State board of Fish Commissioners have dono a groat deal towards this and, particularly in furnishing brook trout aud black bass, (carp not ex cepted but by exporioneo not found desirable) but othor varieties so much dosirod by our people, such as Rock Bass, White Bass, Perch, etc., huvo been scarco and the first lot of Rock Bass that huvo ever come to our stream (.uuLUocreek) ut tuts point wore furnished to II. II. Grimm last spriug, about 5 altogether. Two cans of thoso wero placod in PonuB Creek, west of Ceuterville. About 0 or 8 of those placed in the stream hero iu May wero caught this fall and returned to tho water agaiu, and were found to have increased in size beyond expectation. This seems to have given more encouragement to our oitizons than anything that hud been done in tho past. It has been known us a fact that ever since the reservoirs were dug along the lVnn'u Canal thousands of ull kinds of fish eoino down from tho livers above Slmuiokiii Dam every fall und stop in tbo rcsorvoirs ami after tho water is drawn out of the canal they remain there and die dur ing tho winter. For years the citi zens along tho river advised our peo ple bore to take out those fish and leposit them in tho stream here, but owing to tbo oxpouso but few were willing to go into any such arrange ments, and while every body admit ted that it was the only way wo could keep our streams stocked, yet noth ing was uono but talk', until last Tuosday, when H. H. Grimm deter mined to make tin effort to accom plish something iu tbo way of earnest work. Ho drew up four petitions. one for this place, ono for Paxtou- villo, ono for Boavertown und one for Adamsburg, tho petitions agree ing to pay a membership feo of one dollar which will accumulate u suffi cient fund to purchaso ull tho nee ossary equipments to carry out the objects of tho association, and on v riduy evening we wero ustonished to find M names on the list bore with enough others who are known to bo willing to join to run it up to some sixty members. We huvo not beard anything from tho othor places but sincerely hopo they will rospoud equally us well in proportion, at tho meeting on Saturday. Southern Central Railroad to bo Sold by the Sheriff. Lust week the Post publishod tbo legal notice for the Sheriff's sale of tbo properly and franchise of the Southern Central Railroad. The salo will take place on Saturday, Nov. 30th, at the court house in Ilar risburg. With this sale will collapse another railroad schema that promis ed much for tho poople of Suyder county. This proposed road was fostered by tho Readiug, which helped it along to the tune of nearly $10,000. It was surveyed to run from a con nection with the Reading's manu facturer's branch in Ilarrisburg through the counties of Dauphin, Perry and Suyder to Sunbury, where connection was to have been made with the Sbamokin, Sunbury Si Lew isburg branch of the Heading. Most of the work, chiefly grading, was dono between Ilarrisburg and Rock- villo, nearly 20,000 having boon spout on tho grading. Had tbo lino reached tho completion stage it would have proven a rival of tho Philadelphia Sc Erie. Tho Reading may purchaso tho franchise nt tho salo. An Amusing Story. Secretary of Agriculture Edgo says one ot the chief difficulties he finds in holding a farmers' institute for tho first time iu n locality is the provalout belief that it is a scheme out of which Bomobody wants to make money. "Tho farmers invari ably imagine somebody has some thing to Bell," said Mr. Edge yeste- day, "and .tho result is that th don't talo to' the institute at fir They imagine it is a money making schomo." Secrotary Edgo tells a story illustrating this fact. Ho and Mr. Gabriel 1 Hester, who resides near Ilarrisburg, attended an Insti tute in one of tho northeastern coun ties. It was Mr. Edge's intention to talk about fertilizers und he car ried a circular descriptive of that ar ticle. Mr. Hoister was to discuss pruning, und that ho might give u practical demonstration of his sug gestions ho took with him a largo brauch of a tree. As tho two passed up tho aisle, tho assemble, I horny huuded sous of tho soil eyed them suspiciously, and their suspicions settled into a certainty when they saw Mr. Edge's circular und Mr. Hioster's brunch. "Dang it," said ono disgustod to his neighbor in a whisper loud enough to be beard a square, "Dung it. I tld you they want ter mako money. That big one there, bo's unlliif fertilizers und the little fellow he's sellin' trees." - Edward Bassler is Dead. Half a Century Ao. The Lowisburg Journal Huys: In loafing over an old histot v ni-h- lishod half a century ago, there wore many things of intorost fouud about our county.
