An exchange says there is an old
superstition among farmers that the
date of the month added to the mum
Der of the month in the year when
the first snow falls will be the mum
Der of storms for the winter.
If this be true, then we shall have
thirty eight SHOWS this winter, the
first snow having fallen on the 10Th
day of the 9th month.
The irrepressible young Americans
made things hum in Middleburgh on
"Holler-eye,' rs they called it. They
annoyed some of our citizens to such
an extent that threats of arrest were
heard i'll many quarters, but, as us
ual, nothing came of them. There
is no use i'll getting angry with them
and the most satisfactory rene
dy for their deviltry is to watch your
chance and scare them into fits.
We desire to call the attention of
certain property owners to the con
dltion OF their pavements. In much
frequented places we notice the brick
lying loose over the good pavement
and regular duck ponds filled with
water and leaves in their place. Such
n condition of things should not be
allowed to exist for one day. They
are the occasion of remarks and cuss
words not few. Let these holes be
repaired in the interest of town pride
and good morals.
Grand-pap Albright Swineford is
vibrating between life and death
and he cannot last over Il few days.
On Monday he asked to be carried
on the back porch of his house, for"
said he, Il want to see once more
how it looks out there" He was
taken from his bed, placed in an
easy chair and borne out to see this
beautiful world once more. Think
OF it, Nearly ninety-three years old!
Is it wonder that his thread of
life is so nearly unwound, when the
machinery will stop. He had hoped
to retain suiii cient strength to go to
the polls and perform his last du-
ty to his country by voting for Gen
er al Harrison Mt Tuesdays election,
as he had voted for his grand father
in 1910 and for nearly every other
President from James Monroe
down to Garfield, but his strength
would not permit and he is now
awaiting call to appear before a
higher tribunal, where, we hope, his
election is sure.
