BUNKER HILL ITEMS.

Last Sunday evening about sunset,
Clarence, son of Maj. Stuckey, got the
buggy and horse and got Harry, son
of Mr.. George Legg, at this place, and
proposed taking drive. They drove
across the mill dam at this place and
getting out to rein the horse after
crossing the creek, she commenced
backing, and with Harry still in they
all went over an embankment ten or
twelve feet deep. The water was not
running over at a rapid rate or no
doubt they would have been seriously
injured, and it is strange they were
not, as it was Harry was still hold
ing to the lines as they went over and
as there are rocks and logs piled up
below it seems to have been a provi-
dental act that he was not instantly
killed. The horse, although young,
was gentle and strange to say was not
injured in the least, as timely assist
ance arrived and cut her loose from
the gears, which saved her life. The
buggy was of course smashed but no
other damage, we are glad to say, was
done.

An old gentleman named ]. B.
Wolf, of Washington, was in town
this week. He claims to have been
born here July 18th, 1916, but no one
remembers him. though he has a
marked resemblance to some of that
family, now dead. He is a good
talker and spoke publicly several
times. Some of our reform friends
must have been hit so hard as to
knock out of them what little charity
they had.

The project of the completion of the
Reading Railroad to aconnection with
the Western Maryland in the Cumber-

Reading officials went over the route

Shippensburg, on the Western Mary
land. This would give line to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Ha-
gerstown, besides be advantageous for
the exchange of local traffic in a rich
and populous section.

TO THE FRONT!

The time has come for a change from
Spring to Summer wear. Goods well
bought are half sold. There is no truer
aphorism in business than this, and we
confidentially say there has been no
time since we began business, when our
stock would better illustrate the maxim.
Not only have we been enabled to take
advantage of some great bargains offer
ed at forced sales, which have been more
unusually active this season, but our
own buyer has been specially favored in
purchasing the Summer stock now on
our counters. We opened the Summer
Assortment with unusal satisfaction for
two reasons: list, That the Goods them
selves were fully up to the standard, and
End, That they had been bought on such
favorable margins that we conld give
our customers special benefit. We only
ask an inspection to convince you that
we have secured some EXTRA BAR
GAINS, and that our stock in general
has been equally well selected and close
ly marked in assortment, quality and
style, the record of other seasons
has been equalled, while in prices we
are prepared to surpass it chiefly for the
above reasons. We want every one who
visits our store to feel thoroughly at home.
We cannot expect to make friends of you
unless you feel that you have perfect
right to make criticisms, and compare
prices with those of any other RESPONSE
bic dealer in our line. Do not then hesi-
tate to come in whether you purchase at
the same call or not. We will be glad
to see you at any time, and it will be our
fault if we do not at once make you feel
perfectly at home.

lady arrived at We EDITORS residence,
and from appearances she came to
stay good long time. What would

thing that EVER was born: and though
we are delighted to welcome the little
stranger, we hope it may be the last.
These little appendages," whilst
giving much pleasure, cause poor
country editor much thought, and

known of the future demands upon
our larder, has nobly come to the res
