little change ii the inhabitants Or in the
dwellings. Some once familiar faces have
disappeared, and many children have
come upon the scene. Perhaps men and
women there have grown older, but | am

but when the start was made. these gently
stepped to the depot platform, leaving
your humble servant the only passenger.
An easy. coy ride was had, with the con

line. The traveller Is absolutely safe on
the Buffalo Nalley-he has 10 fear of col
lisions or any OF the accidents 10 which
passengers on the rail are usually subject.
Even several fooimen in front OF tie train
appeared to be under no apprehenslons OF
peril. The train run on time and easily
made It's connection.
II is only saying what Is already well
known when | state that the Buffalo Valley
is one of the richest portions of Somerset
County. The soil for agricultural pur-
poses is rarely surpassed. The buildings
are good, the farmers thrifty. None OF

Young. Of the State Board of Geological
Survey, who has lately made an examina-
ton OF the coal-iields in the Buffalo Valley
country, says 1T is splendid coal and
there's millions of bushels of it," When

set forth, IS they will be, we may look for
