After an absence of 57 years and at the age of above four score years and ten Miss Ellen Snyder a former resident perhaps a native of this immediate community is in town for the week, a guest of relatives among whom are Mr. and Mrs. C.

C. Currens of East street, their children and their families and other friends and acquaintances formed in long, long by-gone years. Miss remarkably advanced ago, bright and unfailing memory, her intellectuality, versatility and promptness in the observance of old lankmarks and in recognizing improved conditions, and her ever present disposition and ability to recall and minutely and interestingly discuss and describe incidents and happenings round about sixty and more years ago, easily entitles her to space in the roll of the most interesting personages who have dropped into town for many a year. With her parents Capt. Nicholas and Mrs.

Snyder, Mias Snyder spent many years of her girlhood life on a farm adjacent to Graceham, the farm now being owned and occupied by Mr. Theodore Stoner. Tattle Early Risers are pood for anyone who needs a pill. They are small, safe, sure, little pills that do not gripe or sicken. Sold by J.s.

K. Wateis. 0., Jottings. The season of crops for 1007 is nearly completed and we can about give a detailed report of what the harvest has been. It might not be out of place to state what the weather conditions have been, and that will help your readers to form mere correct conclusions concerning the harvest.

Beginning with last December, there has not been a week in Fayette county that rain did not fall; sometimes we needed it and quite often we did not. The universal custom with our farmers is to thresh all their grain from the field and nearly all sell at once and haul to elevators for shipment. Threshing began as usual, just as soon after the crop was harvested, and as near ns I am able to loam, the last crop in our township was threshed September 7th longest time in the 37 years of my citizenship here I have known wheat to be in the shock. Rain, rain, rain caused the delay, and yet very little spoiled wheat. The crop was a good average one of from 16 to 30 bushels per acre, according to manner of farming and condition of soil.

It, was decidedly too wet for the oats crop, rust injuring it, consequently the yield was from 12 to 40 bushels, the difference being largely in favor of variety of the I seed. The large seed variety counted best on the scales. The market today is wheat 40c, cornGOc, potatoes 75c, the latter crop only fairly good. Corn promises a large yield, but at this writing is not all nearly out of danger of an early killing frost. It looks as though none would be ready for the shock before the latter part of September, which will make the wheat harvest later than usual.

There was no clover to harvest, except alfalfa but there was a great crop of timothy saved between and in showers. Pastures are fine and only a fall of snow will drive us to feeding our stock. Our hog market has been a continual surprise to us, scarcely a week dropping below $6 per hundred, and generally better. Wages to all have been high, farm help never was so well paid and yet our farmers do not complain, because the good crops and markets provide the means to pay the increased price of labor. It will be news to many of the boys of old Co.

6th Maryland, to learn of the death of one of our Peter Staub, of Harshmanville, 6 miles from Dayton, Ohio. He died August 28. The boys can testify to his record with Company D. as that of a splendid soldier. He leaves a family of eight children, all good respected citizens.
