The Snyder County Historical Society.
The Selinsgrove limes last week
propounds the fullowing questions :
"What lias leeome of the Snyder
County Historical Society, with head
quarters at Middleburg? Will the
I'otst editor inform us whether the
meeting we attended in April was the
birth or death of the organization?"
We would inform the Editor of
ot-.r contemporary that the meeting of
the Historical society he attended in
April was neither the birth nor the
death of the organization. The
society was organized in January
and incorporated in February 1898.
The Editor of the lime would
have liis readers infer that the
Editor of the Tost is authorized to
call the meetings. This is in the
hands of the President who thought
the hot weather would not le very
congenial to have a meeting. Ik
side the President learned that the
program committee andthe committee
of which the Editor of the lima is
a inemlxT to sec alwut getting the
edd newspapers from the commission
ers' office had not performed their
duty heinv, the president's decision
not to call a niet'tiii in July.
GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
"The preat swret of suit-ess in
road-making and road-keeping is to
ilrain the roads and keen the roiuls
drained by keepingtheditches oj)en,"
writes John Gilmer Sjieed on "How
to Have (Jkk1 Country loads," in
the August Isid'u1 Home Journal.
"Tin- old method was to run a plow
through the side ditches and throw
thfdi'turl'cd soil, sod and all, in
tin- middle of the road. There it
would stay till a heavy rain came to
wa-li tlii Kil kick into the ditches
and filled them up again. If there
