'Riley’s Birthday Poetry Party.
James Whitcomb Riley, Indiana’s popular poet, will Cris
his 61st birthday anniversary next Tuesday and it is the pend 18
friends to have his admirers give him a “‘poetry shower. » Boe

has been a good citizen and has come so close to the heart in his
writings and why he should be punished with all that poetry is a
mystery. If this project is carried out he will pray to be delivered
from his friends. 0
Joe Cannon for Congress.
The Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, known is “Uncle Joe,” is going
to make the race for Congress again ‘to please his friends.
When he first was chosen speaker of the House he was idolized by
his party and admired by his political opponents, but before his
service of speaker was over he was bitterly hated by many of his
party and despised by his political enemies. When the time came
for election the people of the Danville, Illinois, decided to trust
their interests to another. With the two years rest that Cannon
has had, he is ready to make the race once more for Washington
and making in all twenty-two, winning nearly every time. Who
knows but that the arch reactionary, although nearly eighty years
young, will again get a seat in Congress.
Somerset's Good Crops.j
When the poet sang, ‘‘Mongst the Hills o’ Somerset’’ he was
impressed with the grandeur of our mountain land, the beautiful
foliage of the trees, the strata of our rocks, the heaven penetrating
peaks of our elevations, the torturous course of our streams, and
the crystal cascades on our hills. He hardly realized the rich min-
eral treasures hidden ‘'mongst those hills, nor has the story been
fully told of the rich agricultural tracts that are nestled among
these hills, the productiveness of the soil on the mountain slopes
and the large crops that are harvested in these flats. Somerset
county has again fared well during the past year. The late frosts
did considerable damage to the berries and fruits but aside from
the damage to the early crops, this has been a good year once more
for the farmers of Somerset County. Some Sections of the county
have suffered very much through the drought, while the damage
here was slight. Hay, wheat, oats, corn, —all yielded good Crops.
