.What the Soldiers Ate
At the encampment of the national

Fifty-four thousand throe hun
dred and seventy-five pounds of fresh
Deer, 1!,575 pounds of ham, 62,200
pounds of soft bread, 13,050 pounds
of hard broad, 7,830 pounds of beans,
10,440 pounds of sugar, 2,610 pounds
of rice, 7,0t pounds of coffee, 8f4
pounds of candle, 2,4r.O pounds of
soup, 2.2S2 pounds of salt, 1 17 pounds

8.W5 pounds of onions, 2,784 two-
pound cans of corn, and three box

This, of course, does not include

satisfaction, the meat this year was

nished by Thomas Bradley, of Phil

The Executive Committee having
met and districted tho county, (the
names of the Vice Presidents not yet
being announced) who agreod to do
thoir share of the work. It now be
comes the duty of the workers to do
their part. It was the sense of the
0Oi.JfrU.tee that each district should
organize and adopt the constitution
laid down by National Association,
and make their plans for tho work
as soon as the weather permits ; at
least three conventions or institutes
should bo held in each district dur
ing the yeur, and as many more as
possible. Without the united and
earnest effort of all engaged in the
work the labors of the executive
committee will be barren and unfruit
ful. It is also suggested that as
many as can in each district preparo
themselves ou topics selected by
each association, for many of the
topics that would suit ouo case might
not another ; such topics as are par
ticularly needed in your district
should be taken and discussed. Do
not depend entirely upon outsido tal
ent, some is well enough, but to b've
all from outsido of the district, to
our mind, is not the right thing to
interest your own people. Lot all
Officers, Teachers and Scholars do
their utmost to further tho causo in
our county, as we said beforo, the
executive committee will do all they
can to assist in the work.

Thra Oblige n by Trllliiir Tour Hj(h-
bor All About It.
This will be a campaign of educa
tion. The issues at stake aro such
as every voter should be fully ac
quainted with. There is no better
way to do so than by reading the
newspaper. Every voter in Snyder
county should be posted, and then
he can cast his ballot intelligently.
In order that all may have this op
portunity we have decided to send
the weekly Post from now until Jan
uary 1, 1897, for only SO cents cash
in advance. This offer is only to
those who do not now take the pa
per. It is so reasonable that no man
in Snyder county can plead ignor
ance of not knowing the great issues
at stake in the coming campaign.
Our subscribers will confer a great
favor upon us by informing any of
their neighbors, who do not take a
'paper, of this low offer. tf.
Dr. A. C. Spangler, the efficient
dentist of Selinsgrove, has handed
us a reprint of the description of the

in this country and those desiring
information concerning ' the same
