John Jolliff and his brother Bryson,
both of Smithtown, were visiting rel
atives in this place. John Bowers
bought valuable tract of land from
Bryson lying in Cheat Neck.
Proyance's boys from New Geneva
have been up here on business trip
lately.
Harvesting and Weltncr's Lever
Motor seem to lay the heaviest on

A young man went to Rev. f. j.
Wilson the other day and asked him
If he would tic q knot for HIM, one
that could not be united until death
separated them. The young fellow
told Mr.. Wilson that he had no mon
ey to pay the fee, but would work for
him in the harvest. So Mr. Wilson
agreed to that at once and joined the
happy couple in the holy bonds Of
matrimony. The fellow then asked
how many days he should labor.
Mr.. Wilson told him that two days
grading would pay him. We think
he ought to have let him off with one
day. How many days would a fell
low have to dig potatoes?
Some unprincipled scamp, on the
night of July LIST, set fire in q line
fence between John Bowers and Chess,

damage. We hope the time is near
when justice will BE measured out to
such Williams who would destroy the
property Of their ncighbors.
