The peaches are large, about 12 inches in circumference, anH average one pound each. They are raised on irrigated land A strong competition has arisen in the semi- arid country. Thousands of acres are now watered by artificial canals and the" production is wonderful. As high as 14 tons alfalfa clover hay has been raised on one acre of land cut four times in one season. The corn crop is immense east of Omaha, then it becomes poorer on west nothing at all in western Nebraska and Colorado.

The south is coming up and will be an important fsctor. They produced forty-seven per cent of all the hogs raised last year. They have two thirds of all the timber in the United States.

He said "I am a Democrat, owned lots of slaves at the time of the war. I did not know what it was to be a free man until my slaves were free. I am a rabid expansionist. The best thing President McKinley ever did was to embrace the Phillipines. Expansion is what we need Colorado will give McKinley her vote this year unless all signs fail.

Robert C. Hill, former treasurer of Mercer county, says if Judge Miller will stump this state the republican ticket will be a sure winner. When the Affair Was Settled the Horse A SAD Time. STEVENSONS INEWS OF THE History of a Prominent Mercer County Family. Written for Bvsntng Record.

The history of the Stevenson family of this locality can he back as far as 1750 or 1755, William Stevenson and his wife Agnes, moved from Scot- laud to Ireland. They had several children of whom one was James, the great-grandfather of the present generation 01'that name, In this vicinity. James was born in 1760 in Ireland, he grew up and that country. His wife's Prof. Frank M.

Granger arrived in town, Monday afternoon, to dispose of various fruits and vegetables for which his West Salem farm is noted. While interviewing the housewives of the West Side, Jack Mansell appeared and demanded 50 cents of Granger, which he claimed he owed him. Granger made a demurrer and argued that the facts did not justify the charge, and was about to drive on, when Mansell seized the horse by the bridle, saying he would not let the horse go until Granger settled. Granger quickly dismounted and sought the aid of Policeman Melvin- When the officer arrived on the scene, back of the E. P.

station, there was a crowd so large that it overflowed the tracks and threatened to interfere with freight traffic. Mansell informed the policeman that Granger had owed him 50 cents for moving, the account being about ten years old. Granger said the debt had been liquidated, while the crowd was divided, some advisiag Gran- fer to proceed, others warning Mansell not to loose his grip on the nag. The officer, said Mansell should first attach the horse, but Mansell said he had already attached ths horse and wouldn't be detached. After a long argument, and after the crowd had waited in vain for the famous conjurer to make horse and wagon vanish, it was decided that Granger should proceed, but, alas for human hopes the horse would not budge an inch, apparently anchored there for all'time.

From discussion of law points the crowd quickly took up remedies for a balky horse, and finally the nag was pried loose from the earth and Granger went on his way rejoicing. name was Jane Caughey, she was a mem her of a titled family and her father was class teacher under John Wesley. James Stevenson moved lo America in 1790 and settled in Chester county, shortly afterward they moved to Westmoreland county. In 1797 James and his son came to Mercer county with other home seekers. They had to travel on foot, bridging the streams and leading their horses loaded with provisions.

In 1798 they, with several others, moved to this place. James Stevenson's family at that time consisted of two sons and twp daughters, and two other sons John and Findley were born afterward, James was the first blacksmith in the neighborhood and made the first grist mill. He died in 1817. The two boys married sisters, Elizabeth and Nellie McGranahan, and although they lived in different houses, they had everything in common, using their flour and meat from the same barrels, and their potatoes out the same bins. John looked after the blacksmith shop and Findley cared foi the farm.

They built several saw mills and lived as one family until the two families were almost grown up. The mother died in 1857 and Findley followed her a month later. John died ind 1886. Each of the brothers reared large families and this is the rule yet. In all the history of the Stevenson family we find no crime or lasting disgrace, but instead find it closely connected with ttie church history of the neighborhood.

Most; all the members of the family are active members of the church. The family are. generally farmers and mechanics, with here and there a preacher, doctor and and even a missionary. MRS. S.
