Dear Editor Thinking few items from
our section would interest some of your
many readers, we concluded to write you.
Mr.. Ed Gashaw of Lanark, ILL.,, is at pres
ent visiting in this place. He is the guest
of Mr. Kimmell.
Engineer Heckleman and wife, still re-
main at this place. They say this is the
best place in the county to live.
Mr.. Daniel Kimmell has nearly completed
his new residence and will move into il in
the early spring. Mr.. X. has displayed good
taste in putting up such fine structure for
him selfand family
Mr.. Daniel Keller os this place .ias occu-
pied his new house and now feels quite
comfortable. even though the winter winds
are bowling More men like Mr. Keller would
add greatly to this place.
Onr ros,masters are Isaiah Baer & Bro,
two genial young men who have started
store at this place. They keep general as
sortment of goods OF all kinds, and have
built up quite an enyiable trade.
Lull is postofice four and one-half
miles from Somereet, on the Bedford pike.
We 40 not approve of the name for we
of one of our citizens, who has resided here
for quarter of a century. But Uncle Sam
has approved the name so we may as
well
f. f. Shaver, our school teacher, is a
model young man and is getting along nice
/ ly with his school, but last week one of the
boys got little boisterous and the teacher,
thinking that little wolloping" would
be conducive to the pupils happiness, pro-
ceeded to apply the birch. and the rumor is
that it proved quite success but Mr.. S.
thinks he can do better for the young men
who are inclined to mischief.
