Wilcox Notes.
Wilcox, Pa. Oct. 10th, 1876.

WILCOX, Pa. Oct. lotn, 1910.
Bert Bevier fell head first through a
hole in the mill floor, a few days ago,
upon large belt that was in motion
which skinned his head, face, and
ears in n shocking manner. His foot
was caught between the belt and q
pully. The mill being just on the
point of stopping his life was saved
The fall was about twelve feet and 1t
is the greatest wonder that he escaped
with his life.
The Tanning Go. have q large
cylinder or hollow drum, with pins
or hooks inside in which Buffalo
hides are softened by the revolving
motion of the drum. A few days ago
a man by the name of Enos Heller,
while removing hides from the same,
stepped inside. The machinery was
started and around went Mr.. Helle
with the hides. The drum being
open it by some reason caught in the
belt throwing 1t from the pully
thereby saving the poor fellow from
being ground to atoms.
About two weeks ago the Tanning
Co. had halfa dozen fat cattle killed
by the cars on the p. & E. r. r. l
suppose if from some cause train
should jump the track, the whole
Tanning Co. would be arrested OH
suspicion of having taken up the rails.
The weather is cold and croquet is
about played out. 1t is amusing to
see the old veterans take sad, linger-
ing, look at the grounds, shake their
heads and pass silently away, wonder
ing what they will do next. The
mind at once turns to billiards, but it
takes money to play that game, and
the croquetist has nary a red.
The Rev. Mr.. Hoffman is away on
three weeks, vacation and Madam
Rumor says he will bring a wife back
with him. BY the way he is very
popular with the people here, not only
with the church members but with
nonprofessors.
A number of people started last
evening for the Centennial. Among
| them we noticed Ernest Aldrich and
his sister Jessie.
John Bowers; clerk in the r. e l.
| Co.'S. store, smiles more blandly than
ever. It's the first one and is boy.
That store seems to be doing thriving
business for this is the third one
among the clerks this summer. And
speaking of babies reminds me of a
neighbor that has two bright little
boys and now has a little girl OF
which the older boy is very proud
but the younger feels that his nose is
a little bent. He says Grant is telling
everybody of it. Says he told Uncle
The. and Uncle The. told Steven
Smith, and Steven Smith told Tom.
Vangasbeek and now it will be all
over town.

The Associate JudgeshiD.

In our last issue we referred, briefly,
to the subject in the caption. Wcwish
TO urge upon the citizens of Elk County
the Importance of having Il good man
in this position, and also of having a
man located at tho county seat, where
it is almost imperatively necessary an
Associate Judge should be located
The office is one of no political signifi-
cance, and should be filed by man
rather because he is competent than
that he belongs to certain party, and
in this case the question ofconvenience
enters largely into the contest. Now,
we do not wish to be understood as in
any manner casting imputations on
any of the candidates, as we consider
them all honorable and reliable men
But, it seems, that in an office of this
kind, some little regard should be paid
to the pubic good Wehave one gen.
tleman, than whom no better can be
found to fiji the position named, who
is a resident of Ridgway, and in nc
sense a political man, although q
n :ninee of the Republican party,
when it is to the interest of the
citizens of Elk County t. vote for.
This man is HORACE LITTLE.
There is strong effort in Mr.. Little's
behalf, ana many Democrats in Ridg.
way, and throughout the county, viii
give him their vItes. You have tn,
right to vote for two gentlemen for this
position, and we hope whatever YOU
do you will consider your interest, and
the interest of Elk county, generally
and give Mr.. Little one of the places OF
your ticket. There has been few offices
to be filled in this county when tb
exigency Of the case demanded that
Democrats as we'll as Republicans should
join hands and help elect the right man
/ for the right place.
