Grimes Long, who died at New Castle
last Sunday was an odd character. About
twenty years ago he tsok an cath that he
would not get his hair cut until there was
Democratic president elected. When
Cleveland was elected he said at first he
would get his hair cut, but sfterward
changed his mind and said he had got used
to it long for years and would die that
way. His brother died several years ago,
and Disciple minister preached the funer
al sermon, during which he said he under
stood the deceased was not good man,
but he would pass that by. for he had now
at the sermon, and he went TO the preach
er and said: "You are the first d-n
preacher that ever told the truth when he
preached a funeral sermon, and | want
you to preach mine. fOn can say the
same thing about me, fer am not good
man" Long was married Years ago while
he was in the west but for some cause de-
serted his wife. Ten years aiterward he
went back to the west, and found his wife
living with another man. He promptly
turned over to her the deeds of his west
ern property and told her to stick to her
new man.
A singular thing about the fire that
burned over a portion of the territory
along the Allegheny Valley road between
Dubois and Falls Creek, is that a large
number of the small trees are burned out
by the roots. The ground over which the {
fire burned is swampy during wet weather
but at present Is as dry as the balance of
the country. The young trees grew up in
boggy place on decayed wood and grasses
This dried under the roots of the growing {
trees and when the fire came along burned :
like punk. The trees fell to the ground
like grass before moving machine. and
are now dying.
