Senator John J. Patterson while
walking on the pavement in Bloom
lngton, Iu., was tripped by a chain
that was stretched across the side
walk. The result was he fell with
such force to the pavement that he
was hurt to such degree that he
was not able to leave the house in
several days. His relatives and
friends here, were alarmed over the
reports of the accident but he is all
right now
On Sunday morning tramp stole
Jesse Grubb's best par of shoes
which he had just set at the outside
of the kitchen door. The tramp had
asked for something to eat and Mrs.
Grubb in the kindness of her heart set
a spread for him. When the wander
Ell left he took Mir. Grubb's shoes
with him. The next tramp that
comes that way will not meet with
such cordial reception. 1t will
be no surprise to hear of tramps
being shoed of the Grubb premises
after this in a hurry.
Samauel Pannebaker, Jr.. of Honey
Grove, stopped in town last Friday to
! feed his team of seven OF the incest
and youngest mules that can be seen
in DAYS travel. He was trans
porting 1000 feet Of poplar boards
and two buggies hitched to the lum-
ber wagon from his saw mil in Tus
carora valley TO 3 carriage makers
place IN McAlistervills. His outfit
convinced the people who saw it that
the grand fathers had the means of
transporting their farm products to
market, within themselves. Panne-
bakers grand father used to trans
port his farm products raised on tho
now David Sieber farm IN Ferman
agh township to Baltimore by
wagon. The first days trip used to
be from the Fermanagh farm to the
Honey Grove farm.
On the evening of June 2Sth,
! Charles Sherlock, resident, on Wash
ington street, went to bed in health
and good spirit. A babe awakened
Mrs. Sherlock, and then she noticed
that her husband breathed heavily.
Death had claimed him cs it's own,
and before Mrs. Sherlock could sum
mon neighbors his spirit had passed
from the confines of its earthly tene
ment. He was sn industrious man
and the home that he and Mrs. Sher
lock had made for themselves was a
happy one. They were an indus
trious couple and it was contentsd
and happy home that they had made
for themselves which makes the be-
roavement the more intense. But He
who doeth all things well tempers the
storm for the shorn lambs.
A spark from locomotive or a
chimney fired the roof of the house
of John S. Taylor, a shoemaker, in
Port Royal, and despite the efforts
that were made to save the building
it was totally consumed. The fire
alarm whistle was sounded here, and
the fire company responded in doubls
quick time and within the period of
nine minutes had the engine on the
cars ready for the three mile run to
Port Royal. The steamer was there
taken off the track and put into pos
ition to get Il supply of water from
the river, but by that time the build,
ing was almost entirely destroyed.
The loss to Mr.. Taylor is a heavy
one, as he had no insurance. The
= fire company's achievement OF get
ting the steamer to Port Royal in
the time they did, is one of the
, pieces of quick work in that line that
is hard to equal.
