C. L. Baltzer was appointed by Judge

Governor Brumbaugh has not yet se- |
lected a successor to Secretary of}
Agriculture N. B. Critchfield, and it is |
likely that the Jenner township agri-
culturist will hold on to the job for
several months notwithstanding his
known desire to lay down the burdens
of the office. The Governor has left
it be known that the mew secretary
will be a personal appointment.
Marcellus Holbrook, of Springfield,
Mo., who has been visiting in the co-
unty for the past six weeks, recently
received a telegram from Onawa, Ia.
announcing the death of his sister,
Mrs. Mary Black Freeland, at her
home in that city. Mrs. Freeland was
a daughter of Henry L. Holbrook,
prominent as a surveyor in the early
history of Somerset county, and wide-
ly known through South-Western
Pennsylvania. She was born at Paddy
town and went to Iowa with the fam-
{ly when a young girl.
From present indications the Boys’
Stock Judging Contest, which will be
held at Somerset County Agricultur-
al fair at Edgewood Grove, week of
Sept. 28, is going to be one of the
most successful educational events the
fair managment has arranged for the
week. To be able to pick out the fine
points of cattle, the cows that will
produce the most milk, and the steers
that are susceptible of taking on the
most fat, is something that every
wide-a-wake farmer's boy should
know and the idea of the contest is
to teach them these, as well as oth-
er valuable things in connection with
the live stock industry. Boys wishing
to participate in the contest should
notify John S. Miller, Somerset, Pa.
NEARBY COUNTIES,
Preparations are being made by
the Johnstown Traction Company
for the inuguration of the pay as you
enter system. It will be in use within
the next six months according to an
announcement made a few days ago
by Jos. McAneny, the treasurer.
W. H. Price, a carpenter, of Beling-
ton, W, Va., won the prize of $10.60
for the employee who took the largest
family to the Western Maryland Rail-
way Company's picnic. Mr. Price took
ten children. R. M. Shirley, a conduct-
or, of Elkins, was close second, with
ninerchildren, while J. C. Stewart, a
fireman, of Cumberland, was third,
with eight children. Price was award-
‘ed the $10 and Shirley and Stewart
were each presented with a large box
of candy. :
West Virginia's peach crop this year
will amount to approximately 2,500,
000 bushels which, selling at $1 per
bushel would net the farmers of the
state $2,500,000, enough funds to run
the state government. This estimate
is based upon figures compiled from
the reports receved in the office of
Commissioner of Agriculture H, E.
Williams. The peach crop this year is
reported to be the largest in the his-
tory of the state and the fruit is of a
partfculorly fine flavor. It is not be-
lieved, however, that the money re-
ceived by the growers will amount to
much more than $1,000,000 as the im
mensity of the yield will force the
price to a low figure, and it is prediet-
ed that choice peaches will be sold at
40 cents a bushel. This, together with
the portion of the crop which will
never be marketed will materially
reduce the farmer’s revenue it is said,
Work on the remodeling and enlarg-
ing of the Corle house, in Bedford,
will be started this week, it is stated
by Architect W. R, Myton who drew
464 bushls, or 66 and one half bush-
els per acre, is going some when it
comes to harvesting oats, but that Is
the quantity Silas W. Bittner declares
he just threshed out of seven acres
on the Kiernan place. This is an es-
pecially good yield because the oats
was completely flattened on the
ground by storm, necessitating cut-
ting it with a mowing machine, there-
by causing a considerable loss.
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel W. Maust of
Somerset Townshlp left Somrset the
early part of last week for the Pacific-
Coast, expecting to be away from
home for about two months. They will
visit the Panama exposition and then
go to the home of Mr. Maust’s brother,
Joseph. who left this county many
years ago.
The Rev. Dr. Robert L. Patterson,
who for six years and a half was pas-
tor of Trinity Luthran church of Som-
erset and of Christ's Lutheran church
has recently |
of Somerset township,
received and accepted a call to St.
Mark’s church Atchison, Kan. Dr. Pat-
terson was given a unanimous call,
without a trial srmon. He was told
that his record in Western Pennsyl-
vania was sufficient testimony of his
fitness. St. Mark’s church is attended
by the faculty and students cf Midland
College and the Western Theological
_ Seminary, besides a membership of
three hundred in the city of Atchison.
The invitation greatly appealed to Dr.
as a field for usefulness, and the oppor-
tunity for the education of his child-
ren was very attractive. The family
expects to remove from North Carol-
ina to their new western home about
the middle of October.
The will of Herman B. Beal, deceas-
ed, late of Larimer township, was pro-
bated last week. He bequeathed to his
wife the use of all of his real estate
and home in Larimer townshlp, and
$1000 each to Missouri Knepp aad
Myrtle Edna Burkett providing the
latter remains in his home until she is
eighteen years of age. Should she
leave prior to attaining that age, she
shall receive only $500. Five shares of
stock in the First National Bank of
Berlin, and an equal number of shares
in the Economy Telephone Company,
were bequeathed to the officrs of the
Mt. Carmel Church to be placed on in
terest and pay for the up-keep of the
graves of the testator’s family and that
of ‘Adam Poorbaugh. If there is any
money left over , it is to be appropria-
ted toward the pastor’s salary. After
the death of the testator’s wife. the re-
mainder of his property is to be divid-
ed between the Mt. Carmel Lutheran
Church and the Reformed Church at
White Oak.

Repair forces are also being increas
