II. Caleb of this town, one night last
week by forcing open shutter Moth
ing of value was taken. The robber
helped himself to lot of eatables and
then cleaned out
The amount of local matter is rather
limited this week, but please excuse us
as we are moving into more comfortable
quarters. We hope before another issue
to be nicely fixed and then we shall ask
our friends, patrons and enemies to call
and see our new quarters
Dean Wooden mills has been running
until this week, up to 0 o'clock or after
every night This week the employees

giving the hands an opportunity of
attending the extra services in the

The Newark Lodge, No. ~, l. o. of
Good Templars having changed their
night of meeting, make the following
announcement. The next meeting will
be held in Grange room in Exchange
Hall, on Saturday evening, October
the 3lst. All meetings thereafter, will be
held Saturday evenings.
Not settled yet as to who will show
the biggest ear of corn. Pretty near
time, too. Pumpkins, you know, have
been stored away, and the potato crop
ditto. The turkey crop we have as yet
but heard little about, but of course
samples WILDE left at our office as soon
as the killing season comes on.
This is the season of the year, when
the farmer brings out his largest pro-
duce, such as potatoes, pumpkins, etc,
for the inspection of his less successful
neighbors. They who toll early and late
to be able to bring forth the best of the
land in which they live, are deserving of
all the praise they receive for their thrift
and industry.
Mrs. S. A. Roach of this town ex-
tends an especial invitation to those who
when in town and feeling the cravings
of the inner man being made manifest,
to call in and try her oyster stews, or
frys. They act as a panacea, and satisfy
The cravings and make you happy. Also
ice cream of all flavors on hand, and
families supplied on short notice.
-Chestnuts are said to be very plenti-
full this year. AT any rate, our town boys
can take but short trip and come back
with a bountiful supply in compare
lively short time. Chestnuts have been
the means of making many an evening
appear short as the young folks have
gath cred around the hearth and roasted
them among the burning embers in days
gone by.

The scene presented to the eye ON look
ing northward shows picture full o
beauty. A long distance can be seen o.
looking toward any point, and to admir-
l. these things, just go up. But if you
head is not level take our advice an

does not seem very high, but when on
n is up such a height, it looks a long di
, lance to the earth.
