his horse never trotted better and
but for his friends yelling at him to
''hold her up," which caused her to
pace, she would have keptup a good
trot all through and easily taken the
race.
Frank Slayton is an expert in load
! ing lumber. He devOtes considerable
time to that business, going almost
daily to some one of the various rail
road stations in this vicinity for that
purpose He is also rather particu-
lar as to how lumber is loaded, al
ways employing the best kind of
help. He took a trip to Cambridge
Monday for the purpose of loading a
car. He found little trouble in OBJ
tanning the help and finally let the job
to small boy who said he could get
| help big enough to load the car.
Slayton thought the little fellow was
fooling, and was very much surprised
when the lad came back with REIN
forcements in the shape of a couple of
buXom young ladies' who loaded the
lumber like experts. In the course of
a few hours they had the job so near
completed that Frank left it and
came home, seeing there was no need
of his presence any longer. The price
he contracted for loading the car was
81 so but so well was the Job done,
he left $500 for the fair workers.
Frank has employed considerable
male help in Cambridge, but he says
none ever equalled the work done by
fha-o txyn
hereafter any men down there get
job of him when these young ladies
want it. 1t will be very strange if
Frank doesn't have considerablelu m-
Der to load at that point hereafter.
On Friday last while Moses Good
hue was az work on the addition be-
ing erected at the hide house he fell
and received injuries which at one
time was thought would prove fatal
Drs Randall, and Cooper, of Hyde
Park, Hall of Morrisville, and Allen
of Johnson, were called in and after
holding a consultation decided that
a surgical operation would probably
be necessary. 1t was thought best
to await the developments of the
night. On Saturday morning the
patient was etherized and an exami-
nation made by the physicians. The
case was deemed so critical that DR..
James Waterbury was sent for, but
being unable to come until Sunday
morning it was thought best to allow
the patient to await his arrival Sat
urday afternoon however the symp-
toms of the patient began to materi-
ally change for the better and mes
sage was sent to DR.. James not to
come. He has continued to improve
until to-day his complete recovery is
no longer a question of doubt. If
Mr.. Goodhue ever had occasion to
doubt the kindly sentiments of our
people towards him those doubts
would have been fully dispelled could
he have observed the deep solicitude
for his recovery manifested by all
when the doctors announced that the
chances were decidedly against his re-
covery, as every symptom in his case
seemed to indicate Saturday morn
ing. Moses minds his own business,
is temperate, Industrious, and faith
full to the interests of his employer,
and as a result is generally respected
by all who hope for his speedy recov-
cry.
