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.

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.

Citizens of Harrisburg are wondering
what they are going to do with the
crowds that are booked to reach here
beginning Monday next, and lasting
over until after the state convention
shall adjourn.
It Is not likely that the convention
will last over one day. ko that the
visitors will be thronclng out of town j
as soon as the candidate for governor
shall be named.
Every room In every hotel in town
has been engaged for some time. Rep
resentatives of clubs and county dele-1
rations have been here and pre-empted
quarters.
Should the weather be fair there will
be thousands of visitors sleep on the
grass In the park surrounding the ex
ecutive building, as has been done in
the past, when large crowds assem
bled here on similar occasions. Al
ready the city shows signs of the com

secretary of Internal affairs.
There nre several dark horses that
may have booms sprung for them be
fore the convention assembles which
will make the situation quite interesting.
