place on our streets on Saturday
last. The parties concerned were
Stewart Chase and "Nick" the Italian.
They were coming up from the
tannery, Nick with reins in hand.
They turned on West Main street, go
ing at the rate of a mile a minute, the
wagon turned bottom side up and
spilled both occupants out. They
were both slightly injured. Nick
who struck on his head was positive
he was dead and called for an under
taker. The horse was caught near
the blacksmith shop and was not in
jured in the least. The wagon was
damaged trifle. Stewart rather
enjoyed the experiment and says he
can make the same horse climb
tree. Nick says he will roost Oh the
top-most branch, should he be in. his
company.
The Hughesville Mail reprinted
from the Labor Record, last week
an amusing local squib which refers
to Lake Mokoma. 1t says "Some
people are wondering if the new arti-
fetal lake up in Sullivan county,
known as Lake Mokoma, will not in
time prove to be death trap to the
people of MuNcY VALLEY" We would
respectfully inform the editors of
the above named papers, that should
Lake Mokoma spring leak, (Which
is not probable) the food would go
directly opposite from Muncy Valley
The course would be down Mill
Greek to Loyal Sock. The Record
is to he excused for this report but
the Nail owing to the political stand
it has taken in Sullivan county only
expresses its ignorance in copying
the same. But when the Sullivan
county voter considers the stand the
Nail has taken OH all political fights
in our County, they will agree with
us, that Rutter has invariably been
on the wrong side of the mountain.
1t is interesting to read the pre-
dictions given by the prominent pol
iticians throughout the state for the
defeat of the Amendment. The
majority of the noted men say,"The
people didn't want it they object
ed to interference with their personal
rights, rights which they have enjoy
eel in Pennsylvania for well nigh on
to 200 years. They also state that
the result will have no effect upon
the Fall election unless the Republi-
can party should pnt up man who
was in favor of the amendment.
Should this be done they are under
the impression that he will be cut by
the liquor dealers and by large
number of those who voted against
the amendment. Chris l.. Magee
says, ''it settles the question for
years to come, which is q pleasing
thought to him."
