TOWN ElECTION-IMPRoNEM
Il. * y. HEIDGE-wEDDING, ETC.
Since our last writing we have had
deaths, births, weddings and an election.
We held our town election on the 5th
OF May when town commissioners were
elected. Eimore Owens, Harry Fay and
John Kane were elected as the board,
which we think will be pretty good
one. The election was a very quiet one
as politics was not around, the only effort
being to get Il good board. Elmore
Owens was reelected he having served
the last year as president of the board II.
+. Owens continues over as town baililf.
s. far as heard from our town taxes are
pretty well gathered up, ouly about SEQ
remaining to be collected.
our little town is in ilourishing con-
dition. The Building and Loan Associ-
alton sold money on Monday night at
lGets on the dollar. Harry Fay has his
new dwelling pretty well under way.
John Name has purchased a lot with the
intention of building right away. Thos.
Cain has enlarged the back building OF
his dwelling and repalnted the whole
house inside and out. Ira Owens is build
ing fine porch in front of his dwelling.
i. Owens has laid brick walks through
his yard. Alexander Craig has moved
into his new dwelling. The p, w. Il
Il. X. Il. Co., have fixed up the flower
garden at the station and everything
locks well and prosperous all around
town. The i. & O. Railroad Co. is driving
ahead with the bridge. They do not stop
even on Sundays.
l.. Il. iicnitt and Georgiana Tomble-
son Were joined in the bonds of matri-
NJ my about the middle of April, but did
not come home until Monday, 12th inst,
when the boys gave the happy couple
good Old time SerenaGe. Some of the
boys looked quite comica in their dis
guises and made quite noise. Mr..
llcnitt was fully prepared for them and
received them in the best of humor and
set out quite a treat and all went off
merriIy.
y middle aged colored man died here
"on the Eth inst, from pneumonia He
had lived in this nei9hborhood but few
weeks. His name was Charles Joey. aged
about - years. He came here fl ON
about North East and was a. work about
the Il. Il o. bridge previous to taking
sick. lie leaves wife and several chill
dren i'll very poor circumstance When
their poverty became known a collection
WIS taken up to bury him and the re-
mains were sent to North East for
burial without any cost to the county.
We have now to mention the death on
sunday the 18th inst, about four o clock
p. VI, of little Rebeeca May, one of the
twins of Thomas and Henrietta Boyd,
aged about seven months. She was a
sweet little girl and we are sure that she
is now little angel safe home in heaven.
The parents and little brothers and sis
ter$ have the sympathy of all their
friends. Death was caused by measels.
Mrs. o. F. Hit, daughter of Captain
ii. Owens, is on visit of few weeks
at her fathers. Mrs. Hit resides at
Green Bush, Albany, New York. She
has not visited her fathers for several
years.
Our fishing season is about over for
sllad aud herring. The catch of herring
was quite heavy this season in quantity
rur very poor i'll quality. Indeed the
herriag were So plentiful at one time
that they could be dipped up in dip nets.
On the night Of the 18th inst. during
the thunder storm there were a great
many herring killed and the next day
they were quite plentiful along the
shores,
There appears to be some person or
PERSONS here who have Il mania for poison
my dogs, a; it is almost Impossible to
keep Il dog III the town. Quite mum
Der have died within the last year and
some valuable ones. w. H. Cole lost

eating Il l..ooe of meat that had been
thrown III the yard. Leslie Owens lost
one on Monday. 1t is a pity that the
parties caunot be found out and nun
