The bathing season was opened last
week by one OF our druggists with a big |
splash when he fell into the cold waters |
OF Locust Creek like bag of sand rolled |
off log. Ii is supposed he went into the |
water 10 find out why trout did not bite |
his trout secret" but what he found out |
about it is the secret. Ii is known how
ever that he got thoroughly wet and lost |
his hat and as he staggered from the water |
his teeth chartered and the cold wind /
blew sadly through his whiskers. As he
has been in better health since then it is 1
believed his impromptu bath was better |
than all the Magic Balm and /
'Carbolized ointment" he has used.
A daughter was born to MIR. and Mrs. |
