Affairs on the Mountain.

MOUNTAIN, Jan. 9.-La grippe still seems to
be master of the situation in this straightforward.
While some who have been laid up with it are
improving, others are taken down. Mr..
David Dickson on the Shriyer farm and sew
eral of the members OF his family, are quite
sick with the disease.
Mr. T. L. Cochran, who had an attack of
paralysis last week, is somewhat improved.
Our old neighbor, j. IL. Dierker, though
quite feeble, is still able to get around
r. T. Spering, our Mountain merchant,
disposed of his big doll, Eulalie, last Saturday
drew the lucky number, which was AZ.
The blacksmith shop at Kellville is still open,
under the supervision of Mr. Frank Vogts,
second son of the late VIM. N. Vogts. Franks
health has been very much impaired for sew
eral months, but it is hoped he will be able to
manage the business, as he is quite favorite
with the customers of his late father, and also
q frst-class smith.
The open winter has enabled some of our
farmers to get good deal of blowing done.
Mr. Milton Bosley has nearly all of his done,
and Mr.. James Bramble, on the Jerusalem
farm, has plowed about 80 acres.
Mrs. j. Alex. Shriver is preparing to set out
a hedge fence along the road in front of Union
Chapel, which will add very much to the ap-
pearance of her farm.
The Gamers are taking advantage of the
good roads and are getting ''empties' in for
the next seasons pack.
The attempt to make change in the man.
agement of the Hartford Insurance Company
has stirred up a commotion among the policy
holders of this section, who are opposed to a
change.
What has become of the much-talked of
electric road p? hope it has not been talked
to death in it's infancy. Such road, over the
route l mentioned a couple of weeks ago,
would be one of the best paying investments
the capitalists of the county could put their
money into, as l think nearly all the right of
way could be secured at reasonable price.
The building Of such road would give the
people along its line, and for quite distance
from it on either side, a quick and easy mode
of reaching the largest markets in the country,
and consequently enhance the price of both
their produce and their land.
Mr.. Jacob Kirk, an aged citizen, who has
been i'll, is reported better. G. E. Z.

sociation, for $1,635. 1t is now offered at
private sale. 1t has a very desirable location
and no doaht will find ready sale. There is
but one thing against it. A few years ago it
would have been right in the business centre,
but South Delta is growing so rapidly that it is
drawing the centre of trade in that direction.
As usual, this time of the year there is
great demand for houses, the demand being
even greater than the supply. This is es-
pecially the case in South Delta. G.

The Proposed Electric Railway to Brad
To the Editor Of The -Egis J.:

To the Editor Of The EgiS:
My attention has been attracted by an artf
Gle in your last weeks edition from sc. E. c..
in regard to the proposed Electric Railway
from Bel Air TO point on the b. and o.
| thoroughly agree with him in thinking
that the extra expense in running the road
via wilma, Stockton, Kellville, Jerusalem,
Jericho and Franklinville, to either Brad
shaw or Big Gunpowder, would be more than
paid for by the increased number OF passen-
gers picked up on this route, as against the
direct route to VanBibber.
Bel Air at present has the Baltimore and
Lehigh right in its midst, which although
probably not attracting the travelling public,
carries the freight, while at or near Wilma,
Stockton, Jerusalem and Franklinville the e
are many families who during the summer
months reside at these places and whose male
members are daily travellers to and from Bal
timore, while only few regular daily pa
irons could be counted on from the route to
VapBibber.
Over the above proposed route, much
freight could be picked up and an outlet made
for business, which at present is not devel-
oped owing to want of facilities for getting it
to a market, and finally running almost par
allel with the B. and y. for the greater part
of its distance. No earlier start from Bel Air
would be required to catch a train at Brad
shaw because the electric road would be run
ming with the train, whereas to Van Bibber, it
would have to run to it.
l hope the company having the matter in
hand will examine this proposed route, and
am sure they will meet with hearty co-opera-
tion from those along it.
