Roop, Jan. rs.
David L. Fetter paid visit to Williams
port one day last week.
J. L. Kennedy is now stopping with J.
A. Robinson. The horse that was in
jured last week is improving slowly.
The dramatic entertainment billed for
Thursday evening last at Williamsport
must have been long drawn out, for john
Roop left here on Thursday evening and
did not return until Friday afternoon. l
have since learned that the entertainment
was postponed; but we have not learned
where John was during the time. He
says Thursday was Il wild. rough night,
and probably lie has reason to know.
George Cochran, stage-driver between
here and Glendale. failed to make the

friend George should incur any great
risk in carrying the mails between here
and Ellendale, as the facilities on the
other end Of the line are amply sufficient
to satisfy US. And Billy Murphy is the
boy to be relied upon to put her through
The recurring of the days of the week is
not more certain than Billy and the mail
sack. GUY.

spending for newspaper, you will
please excuse any and all mistakes that

Mr.. and Mrs. Fetter and their little son
Clyde paid Mr.. Couch's family very
pleasant visit one day last week, and on
their way home called at Mr.. Roop's.
Although the mercury Was do to 25o
below, yet little Clyde, when asked if he
was cold, said :: II ANITA bit told, ma"
Your. correspondent hears that when it

mud and slush there, lie wants to go to
Florida and. when he hears Of the mos
