This vicinity will produce a fair-sized apple crop this year. Ambrose liemley will have about 500 bushels. This means a bountiful supply of apple butter and sweet cider for the coming winter. "Old Sandy" has one of the finest orchards in the country, but it ie too young to bear.

The social at Samuel Snyder's, last Saturday night, was largely attended, and much cream and cake were disposed of. Everybody seemed happy.

A vinegar-faced fellow, s^id to hail from Bristle Ridge, looked at Johnny Starnes' dish of icecream and it turned tart in a twinkling. There was a slight acidity in Johnny's mouth the next morning. I forgot to aBk Sain what the proceeds were.

It is a pleasure to roam about Cedar Knoll farm during these dreamy dog days. This season of the year brings death to tbe tenderer beauty of early summer, but tbe sweet-scented thistle and dazzling golden-rod flaunt in royal splendor. Beautiful blue lobelias bloom along the hillsides, and wild sunflowers nod gentty in the winds of August. The milk weed lifts its heavy head and elderberries droop beneath their load of ripe and jucy fruit. From grand old forests, fretted with foliage fantastic, comes the cat-bird's melancholy whine, mingled with the sweet notes of the oriole. Here contentment reigns aod the precious Angel of Peace seems to have folded her snowy wings forever.

veying for a ditch in Piatt county. 111., some fifteen years ago, when he heard a rustliDg in the grass and was horrified to see a huge rattlesnake gliding rapidly from him. It went over the top of the fence, crossed the road and disappeared in the weeuq. It left a tiack in the dust which looked like a paw-log had been drawn across the road. Mr.

Higgine secured assistance and tracked the reptile to an old well where it was shot. It was ten feet long and had thirty-nine rattles and a button. This is undoubtedly the biggest rattler on record.

I pissed through Wide Awake last week, and called on my old friend, Grant Agnew. the clever correspondent of that place. He remarked as ho took afresh chew of "dog-leg" and leaned against the fence: "We had a mightv exciting time up here, the other day. Miss Poll. Kirk Edwards and Simon Whittet were having a high old time throwing water on eacli other. Kirk finally dashed a bucketful in Si's face and then ran down the road. Si quickly got a pail ful of the fluid and started after him Kirk ran with all hie might, but Si was close behind him. Mrs. Thomas McClamrock

In the meantime Si had stumbled and fallen down, spilling the water all over him, and Kirk got tangled up in a barbed wire fence and ripped his pants. have some lively times up here in Wide A wake."
