Rev. Leonard of Up ton made some very practical introductory remarks. Rev. George Hege preached a very eloquent sermon, taking for his text St. John After Rev.

Hege closed his remarks Rev. Daniel Millor delivered a lengthy address, holding tbe attention of all present. He dwelt more paiticularly on the first part of the fifth verse of St. John 15 "I am the vine; ye are the branches. In closing his remarks he said be did not believe that different denominations were tbe branches of this vine but we are tbe branches.

The service lasted almost three hours. Accident. Monday of last week while Mrs. John Huber and her son Samuel were returning from Mercersburg they met with a very serious accident They had reached this place when tbe bolt that holds tbe singletree to the cross piece on their cart drop ped out.

Huber out of tbe cart, dragging her for some distance and tearing her clothing to pieces. She was terribly cut and bruised about the head, back and shoulders. Dr. w. Lantz of Lemasters was immediately sent for and rendered the necessary surgical aid.

Her Injuries may prove fatal. Sam uel Huber escaped without being hurt We certainly can congratulate Dr. Lantz on the manner in which be gets around on an occasion of this kind.

Hollar, who was an official member in this church almost from the beginning of his Christian career, more than forty years ago, and who was at the time of his death an approved exhorter, class-leader and trustee; therefore, Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Hollar our church and quarterly conference have lost a faithful and earnest member, the community in general a kind friend and our country a good citizen. Resolved, That while we realize that Bro. Hollar's place will be hard to fill, and feel very keenly our loss, yet, being assured by his Godly life that our loss is his eternal gain, we bow in humble and trustful submission to the will of our Heavenly Father, knowing tbat He is too wise to err and too good to be unkind. Resolved.

That we deeply sympathize with the wife and children of our brother and pray that God may graciously sustain and comfort tbem in this sore trial, and bring them all at last to the saints' reunion in heaven. Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our conference, a copy be given to the family of our departed brother, and a copy be furnished one or more of the Chambersburg papers for publication.

Tbe following very entertaining aceount of the last meeting of the Farmers' Association is taken from the Secretary's notes The "Farmers' Association of Franklin county" convened In regular session at 1:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon in Greencastle. After the reading and approval of the minutes of the former meeting the report of the Auditing Committee was received. Jos.

A. Snively read a paper on local finance in which were set forth many valuable facts touching the management of our scbools and roads. By figures taken from the records he showed tbat by the outlay of about $7000 twenty-nine schools had been kept open a six months term, that out of this fund twenty nine teachers were paid an average salary of about per month besides the amounts for fuel and contingent expenses. Under the department of road management an amount just half as large, was expended during the year. In disbursing the of school funds the six Directors held monthly meetings besides visiting schools and superintending building and repairs for which sacrifice of time and labor they received no compensation, while the four Supervisors ot the township retained just S700 or twenty per cent, of the whole fund for the high conduct of tbe road department.

In the discussion which followed President Wilbelm noted the progress and increased efficiency of the schools of Antrim and Greencastle and closed with eloquent words of praise for the present management. In contrasting the administration of school and road affairs another of tbe speakers said in these twenty-nine schools conducted by competent teachers the opportunity is afforded to 1200 children to fit themselves for tbe responsibilities of life. As each year a hundred seniors drop out, another hundred little ones are enrolled to swell the number tbat will never fail to bless the originators and managers of tbe common school. What has become of the $3500 road tax which tbe farmers paid last year? We can furnish no answer, other than that contained in tbe paper read by Mr. Snively, where it is intimated that it has gone: 1-5 into the pockets of the bosses, and tbe ri mainder to mend the roads.

And with what permanent effect? Compare the number and extent of the mud-holes of today with thoBe of a year ago and you have the key to make tbe estimate. Another said: "Yes, on the one band we have the most efficient service gratuitously rendered, while on tbe other hand we pay good salaries for temporizing and neglect. Let us attend tbe township nominations and seek to couple business ability with honesty of purpose asd assure a better service." Toe Sieretary was then called on to open tbe discussion on tbe "economy of wheat growing." In his outline of the true philosophy of wheat raising be noted the importance of baving the soil in mellow condition so as to furnish a good seed bed for the grain to germinate in, and of sufficient fertility in soluble form in tbe immediate presence of tbe young wheat plant so tbat it will not be impeded in early growth oy the want of food. He said a wheat crop takes much less fertility out of the ground than a corn crop, yet it requires richer soil to prod uce wheat tban corn, because wheat must make its start in October and November in the fall, and in March and April in tbe spring, when the soil is comparatively cold, when the temperature is not favorable to the formation of nitric acid and the preparation of other plant foods in available form, thus requiring a larger original supply from which to draw its nourishment; while corn, in the months of June, July and August, when beat and rroisture as chemical agents are active in the preparation of plant-food, will grow and yield comparatively better because of its severer draught upon the soil. He showed the necessity of soluble fertility to insure a vigorous plant in the fall of the year that will encourage and support tbe stooling or multiplying of stalks in the spring.

In this connection he spoke of the extremes in the possibility of wheat growing and told how the Chinese soak their seed in liquor fertilizer, then set plants 12 inches apart and.
