MECHANICS VALLEY, June 10, 1891.
MIR. EDITOR As we have not heard from
our community through your columns for
several weeks, we think few sketches OF
things from our every day life, that some
already know and others would like to
know, would hurt no one, as we'll as be ill.,
teresting.
We are having fine weather for growing
crops.
on account of rain.
Mr.. b. Harigan met with quite misfur
tune last week in the loss of fine young
mare.
The Sabbath school patrons are busy
getliI ( ready one of their annual Interest
ing programmes for Chidren's Day ser
vices ON the 2lst inst, to which all lovers
of musical treat are respectfully and
cordially invited.
Our school No. closed for the year with
very pretty and interesting exercises. The
house was beautifully decorated, and pro-
vided with nice curtain which is always
necessary at such places in securing chill
dren from the gazing audience and IN
hiding their embarrassment. The eHer
cises consisted of Rotations, readings and
dialogues, intermingled with singing by
Miss Clark the teacher, assisted by the
Messrs. Hanna and Solomon, followed by a
treat of fruits, candies, ice cream and
lemonade and ending with good wishes and
farewells. Children aud teacher parted for
the summer vacation.
1t begins to look as it Ben and Harry
were going in the butchering business at
Bay View, at least everything looked that
way last Friday evening. Tom wants to
get in with them, for he says thai he wants
the girl with the golden hair, but Ed. is
best man there SO "he can't do it you
know
Some of the boys about the Union have
the blues for Miss f, has gone and broken
up their Saturday night qulckstep.
The festival came of at our church ON
Friday evening, it being unfAvorable on
Thu ;sday and was largely attended, Elk
tor, North East, Cherry Hill, Providence
and Bay View peing well represented. The
receipts were about seventy dollars.
The young people that attended the party
some time ago in the distance must either
be late stayers or afraid to come home in
the dark, for the chickens were long done
growing when they reached our parts One
of the young men was seen near the church
early the next day leading III his partner of
ba bat had mazda full
night with his best girl. When the young
man arrived home he is said to have found
the livery man waiting his arrival, think
ing that he was either wrecked or lost.
Mr. Samuel Shippers our Valley mer-
chant is doing driving business. He has
besides his grocery and dry goods large
stock of hot-bed plants. A few days or
rather nights ago some light handed party
relieved him of about sc, 600 or $4,000 sweet
potatoe plants. For information or evil
dence as to who ;he party or parties were =
reward of ten dollars will be paid by Mr.
Shippers.
We were not aware that Tommie was a
ladies man, but the sight of him and a
y lduy oh bish1 oFOhOu o"i
eyes to the contrary and makes US feel
young again ourselves. He has our best
wishes.
The young telegraph operator from South
Milford is making things lively on the
south side of the row. Guess there is not
enough nights in u week for him as he
makes about four daylight calls a week be-
sides the nights. He is little afraid of
Harry, and Tom makes him hustle,
especially in sleighing time or when they
are hunting seed corn. AS we have been
busy and not been around much you will
hear more from us later on. We now have
to call on LITTLE ANNIE ROONEY.
