Where is it9 II is on the main road up
the creek, about mile below Saltwater.
Much Of the land In sight once belonged to
William Ikeler. He sold several building
lots and laid out alittle town. and though
he was unfortunate, and all his hne prop
erty went out Of his hands before his death,
yet In memory, Of the old gentleman, we
call II Ikelertown. 1t Is made up Of eight
dwelling houses and their accompaniments.
together, with planning mill where T. Fl
Edgar is doing fine business.
There Is no part Of the valley, that
know OF, that affords more diversity OF
scenery, or q more beautiful landscape.
On the east Of US, and close by, the ridge
rises abruptly and forms an almost perpen.
diculsr ledge Of rocks for some distance,
then It is broken into rugged points by
deep ravines that cut through 1t. Down
one Of these a. little stream dashes
and supplies q tank, out 9flyh ich, the
'Iron II orse" is watered every; day. The
r II. Is built along the base Of the ridge,
and the waters Of our far famed Fishing
creek. now quietly, then spreading into q
wider space, ripple over their rocky bed.
Th ese naked rocks, this broken ridge, q
train Of cars, that leaves behind 1t cloud
OF melting vapor, make SC, ne not every
where found. Looking North and West
we have view, though not SO romantic as
the other, is beautiful. A number OF fine
farms are in sight the fields of some Of
which ascend gently from the bottom lands
until they almost reach the tops Of the west
ern ridge. Fine rural homes also, are in
view, among them the late residence of the
much lamented Silas McHenry, Of Daniel
McHenry, Of Judge @. B. McHenry, Stott
e. McHenry, Henry Kelchner and others:
And here, on an eminence, stands the
unique little church, where the Christian
Congregation meet every Lords day for
the work Of the Sundayschool and the wor-
ship Of God. This to me, is the most in
teresting spot In the whole landscape. For
ty-seven years ago was active in the erec-
tion, on this spot, of the first house OF
worship in three adjoining townships; there
too, lie the most Of the old people, of this
part Of the valley, who have departed this
life, and though am not native of this
place, nor akin to these old people yet re.
member them gratefully, for when was q
stranger they took me in; when was hun
cry they fed me, and their social and relig-
ious lives were intimately connected with
my early manhood. Being mostly farmers,
quotation from the Farmers Elegy,' by
Lord, will apply here.
On green grassy knoll on the banks Of the brook,
That 80 long, and so often, had watered his stock,
The old farmer rests In his long, last Sleep
And the low lapslng waters lullaby Keep.
The flowers in beauty may bloom on the spot
The birds may be singing he heedeth them not /:
For he has plowed his last furrow and reaped his
last grain;
No morning shall wake him to labor again.

WANAMAKER s.

tomorrow, the first full business
day Of the new year, we shall
open the new campaign.
Circumstances combine to
help us do some fine things for
our friends from the beginning
Of the new year.
We haven't more than a
single sentence to say about
great sales. We are making
them every day. That's what
the store is for. We always
have lots of goods that are mark
ed down.
A daily drum-beat calls up
all the old soldiers Of goods and
gives them a double-quick step
toward the door.
So, then, note the fact that,
no matter what the reason, there
can always be found here lots
and lots Of good things as cheap
and often cheaper, than else
where-reduced from day to
day because they must be closed
out.
We cannot wait for certain
month to sell down, but contin-
ually watch, like the lookout on
the ship. We seek the open
channel of ofquickest progress and
steer clear Of all that stops our
way.
Now then let us strike the
keynote Of the new year. With
might and main we grasp the
ropes and, as we haul, ring out
loud and long
"The newest goods"
"The freshest goods
"The choicest goods"
THE very best of very best
We crowd ourselves to open
the new things.
Your money shall take fresh
goods at no greater cost than
might otherwise 60 into old,
hammered-down stock.
Thus we hope to brighten
our store, increase the activity
of our stock, and greaten our
trade.
This is our way Of starting
the new year. If you like it
when you see what we are do
ing say SO to your friends.

A Marrow Escape.

Monday morning small boys were coast
ing on Centre street above Main. Chris, q
young son of Chas. L. Rlece, got on his
sled at the top of the hill. Lying fiat upon
the sled ne began the descent. A gentle
man and lady were coming up Main street
with horse and buggy, driving leisurely.
The sled coming with such rapidly could
not be stopped, and darted under the horse
The horse began jumping and kicking, and
stepped closely beside the boy completely
demoishing the sled. The front wheel OF
the wagon ran over the boy, when he was
taken out between the wheels, with few
bruises. II was miraculous escape, and
should be lesson to parents, to keep their
children of the hills leading across our
streets. The officers Of the town should
see that our ordinances are enforced.
