New Freedom Items.-The new freight
house, some 80 by 80 feet in dimensions at the in
tersection of the Stewartstown Branch, is being
rapidly pushed to completion.
ii. +. Hoffacker, who lost his canning house by
fire few weeks ago, has rebuilt and is working
day and night to fill orders. There promises to
be a compromised case of insurance in the matter.
The former policy having expired, new one was
issued by the agent for higher assessment, but
before it was filed the establishment was burned
1t is supposed the company will grant part of the
$4,000 loss.
Mr.. Geo. Hartenstein, who succeeded David
Hershey in the furniture business at this place,
has built up large and successful trade. He has
lately filled some extensive orders for different
parties in the county.
Our enterprising machine agent, Mr.. A. II.
Grove, had some samples entered at the limo
mum fair. Also Baker Son, of Glen Rock, ex-
hibted their Royal patent grain drill.
Mr.. Geo. Miller, of Baltimore county, has just
erected a large and commodious barn on his
"Kansas Farm" one mile east of this place. By
the way, Mr.. Miller has made a snug fortune in
the lumber business in the past few years.
The postoffice at this place, about which the
Democrats are kicking so lively, is still held by
M. w. Balm. Congressman Swope has been ap-
pealed to by both parties, but no change has been
effected. Balm appears to opn this town and has
the "call," although he displayed enough parti-
zan feeling to insure himself 6. b. long ago
Still the Grover Cleveland administration can't
pick up heart to do SO. We hope Grover will
read this.
Among the Baltimore county people who have
removed to this place. we see Messrs. S. II. Green,
of Warren, and S. Merryman Anderson, of Tow
sontown.
October strews the woodlands DER,
With many brilliant color,
The world is brighter than before,
Why should our hearts be duller?

Shawan, 9th District.-I thought few
lines from our village might not prove unwelcome.
Our farmers are very busy with fall seeding. We
all attended the fair last week and feel very proud
that Shawan and her belt Chestnut Ridge) got
share of the premiums. The Ridge has shown
herself some on pumpkins and butter. If the
Agricultural Society will offer prize for the latest
and most improved patent duplex double back
action cut head, we might come in. Give US
chance.
We have now daily mail at Shawan, which we
fully appreciate.
The Rev. Mr. Harryman, of Towsontown, is
holding series of meetings at Ridge Chapel, and
giving our people chance to reform according to
the methods of the Methodsts.
The Shawan and Ridge public schools both
changed teachers at the beginning of the present
term, and the new teachers appear to be giving
general satisfaction.
Since the primaries politics are very quiet. Our
kraut will have very little "bacon" in it-hardly
enough to make it palatable.
By the way, what has become of your Ridge
correspondent? Has he crawed into one of those
huge Ridge pumpkins, or was he buried past
resurrection at the last Democratic primary?
From the Ridge we hear that the chestnut crop
is total failure the ends of the limbs which bear
the nuts having been stung and killed by the To-
Gusts. To balance this the rabbit crop promises
TO be o largo one. GINx.

a small balloon in one of his fields. A basket was
