-Recks have been moving their
mill machinery to Strattanville dur
ing the past week. The boiler was
taken there by Sloan's team, aid was
so heavy that it broke the wagon
down, just beyond Haslet's farm. An
other wagon was procured and the
boiler moved to its destination. When
in Fryburg the wagon was hauled on
the platform scales, and weighed, with
the boiler $500 lbs. A pretty good
load for one team.
JAS. Carson, well.known as a car
penter in this place, has leased Selden
Whitman's coal bank for three years,
and will go to work at once to open
the same, and will probably supply a
good share of the town hereafter. He
believes there are two veins in the
bank, one being bituminous aud the
other cannel.coal. We hope Mr.. C.
will make good thing of his lease.
There will still be some trout
for next summer, Notwithstanding the
cleaning out the streams got this sea-
son. While up Tubbs' Run on Satur-
day last, we saw three good sized ones,
and they appeared very anxious to
get out Of our road. Probably they
mistook that long gun of Sam, Has
let's which he had along, for fishing
rod. .
The Comets of this place went to
Stewarts Run on Saturday last to play
the Potato Bugs of Bean Farm, but
the Bugs were not on hands. Our
boys went over to Bean Farm to see
what was the matter and found that
some of the Bugs we're sick. A game
was appointed to be played at this
place on Saturday next. Bets are
about even.
Mr.. John Hart last week sent to
his brother in Mississippi, the engine
and boiler which Wolcott & Grove have
used in their oil operations during the
last few years. They are to furnish
the motive power for a cotton gin
which Mr.. Hart has in operation there.
Failing to fetch oil, they are to be
tried on gin.
In the district composed of Craw-
ford, Mercer and Butler, last week-the
Republican convention nominated j.
G. White of Mercer for Congress.
There is not much doubt but Mr..
White will secure majority of the
votes cast in that district. He is spo-
ken of as man Of marked ability
and integrity.
Geo. W. Robinson has purchased
of Selden Whitman, the farm consist
ing of ninety.five acres, ON which the
coal bank is situated. He bought sub.
ject't Carson's lease, and is interested
in seeing developments go on. The
consideration we did not hear. sar
Notwithstanding the great num-
