MOKE BOOKS AM) PAPERS NEEDED. A"e were in a farm home not long since where the supply of reading matter was very small. On ly one piper was taken, that the local one. There were nlioiit a dozen IxMiks all told an annual from a city catalogue house, a couple of gloomy looking tomes which treated of the pe euliar system of religious belief which prevailed in the home, a four dollar fake (a relic of some smooth toiigued book agetit), a patent office re port or two and a bible -which served as a dust catcher. There were in this home, halt dozen bright boys and girls, ami all the chance they had to find out uboiit the great and good wot Id in which they lived was what they could catch from nature and what they could pick up at a poor country school. Here was a case where the sum of $20 should have leeii expended annually in good piM'rsund magazines just for the instruct ion and education of these boys and girls. The father could well ailord to do it, for he did not hesitate to put plenty of money into improving his stock and getting the best and latest improved farm machinery, while lie lets his children just grow like Topsy to mature as ignorant, ill in formed and awkward farm products, haii(licaped for all their lives for want of the same intelligent care which was given to every other animal on that farm. Joe S. Tiuccs. COXSI fesU LIFE SUBSCRIPTION PRIZE. ONSIDKltABLK interest has been mani- sttd in the contest for the life sub scription prize to the Post. A great many attics were searched, drawers ransacked and old docu ments perused. Tor quite a while it looked as though John V. Kenningcr of Franklin town ship M ould win the prize on t lie date of Sept. 7 1S71. ' William llassinger of Franklin township pre sented a copy of the I'ost under date of Dec. 2, lSli'., but as it contained no name, it raised a doubt whetherit could Ik? considered or not. That doubt has bceu dispelled by the proof of an lder date. Jiiist Friday William H. Boyer of K reamer presented a series of receipts covering the period from Nov. 12, 18G7 to Pec. 17, 1S71. As this was the oldest date proven and the contest, ac cording to notice was closed June 1st, we takt pleasure in awarding the prize as agreed and ac cording to the terms and conditions it belongs and is awarded to Wm II. Boyer of Kreamer, 1'a. lie will now receive the Post as long as he lives without any futher charge. We hope he may live a long time to enjoy the prize. A notable observance in conui'ctiiig with this contest was the fact that all of them received the Post for a longer time than anyone was able to prove. We regret very much that contestants were not able to prove their dates back to the very beginning. This i-ontest has revealed the fact that hundreds of the fcubseribers of the Post have received it continuously for thirty years and (juite a great many for forty years and a few e.en longer than that. This subscription was offered for nothing mofe nor less than to satisfy a little curiosity of the editor to learn just what has been revealed and is here given, namely to learn to what extent the old and steadfast friends of the Post have retained their fidelity, love and patronage to the one paper whose course has been long and honor able and whose progressive and aggressive meth ods have been able not only to hold the old, stead fast and true friends, but have been able to pene trate the bosoms of a younger class of people whose ambitionsare still young and whose destiny the future refuses to reveal. For half a century the Post has been a guid ing star and a leader of thought and opinions in this community and .today stands at the head of its class of coiintyjournals. With its large corps of correspondents the news of the entire county is gathered aud published and every reader is served with a large and wholesome dish of news each week. To the old friends, we must say that we feel sorry that we can not give you all life subscrip tions. To the younger and more hopeful of our readers we desire to say that your future is still before you and as the Post has been a guiding star for your fathers and grandfathers and as the spirit of modern progress lias invaded its management, your footsteps will be guided a right when you are directed by the lead of the P06T.
