ST. LUKE NEWS.

The letter in your paper of last week
headed BACK Road Points, the writer o
which signs himself Bill Nye, jr., ACCUSES
me of trespassing over the line.
Now, in the first place who is Bill Nye2
We never knew but one of the name and
we have not heard from him tor g.
long that we might suppose that
| he passed over the River Jordan many
years ago. In the next place, we would
IKE to know where this Back Road" is,
20 that 10 the future we may not step
over he line. There are great maby
black roads," so we would like for him
10 let rs know where he lives and what
10 his particular grazing ground, and We
will do our best to keep eff his grass,
and let him use bis goose quill and ink
pot for all there is in 1t. AS he was 30
long In finding out our trespassing we
think his "back road" 1850 far back ID
the woods that only the echo OF things in
the outer world reach him.
He reminds us of old "Let her Rip Bill
Van Wrinkle, who slept so many years and
then woke up to tell his dreams. Bat
Mr. B Ii Ny 9, IT,, let's be friends. Wake mp
and come ont OF the woods, hustle around
and get the news in due time and keep
us posted.
l. seems that Mr. Jacob Gochenour and
SIR. Hawk have gone into the egg bus-
ness. Success to you bOtht
Mrs. Daniel Keller sreIt last week at
st. Luke with her daughter, Mrs. W. c.
Alther.
The Fairyisw people are getting quite
smart and if you want to hear preaching
at that place on Sunday morning
you must arse before the stars haN 20
paled before the rosy light OF APP
preaching day and make An early
start. Mr.. Mason WIsman has set bis
watch by the right time, and says half
past ten is the hour for preaching. We
10 not know whether he eyer had the
right time before or not. but Mr.. W. G. |
Alther says his changing or setting his
watch up caused him to be just too late
TO hear preaching for the first time in his
life.
Now we will set by his time al
St. Luke, aud announce preaching at
half past ten (hereafter.) But I'll stop |
lest be trespassing.
We had quite a storm here last Satur-
lay evening, but 1t did not DO much dam
aye.
1t has never been more reasonable in
this part of the county. Potatoes are
abundant, as are apples, pears and many
other fruits.
The song service held at st. Luke Sun
day night, by Rev. Lonanecker, was
sublime. It's a new thing in this part OF
the Vineyard, but one that all enjoy, and
IT'S good. Rev. Lonanecker is an ener-
getic VOL ker, preacher and singer.
Our neighbor, Mr. W. L. Wisman, is
very much indisposed. 10 was his first
mess of roasting ears, and he Is very fond
of them. Il

Bicycle Travel.

The bicycle has come to stay, at least
until science and inventive genius find
some more desirable means of locomotion'
Such being the case, we should make all
out OF the bicycle that we can. The
Valley Turnpike 10 said to be one of the
best roads for bicycles in the United
States. This travel should be encour
aged by the officers Of the road. and IT
can be beat done by keeping clear path
for wheels from one end of the road to
the other. . distance of Que hundred
miles. The Valley turnpike connects
with other good roads, which would tend
to greatly increase the travel, II little
attention were given to keeping the road
10 good order for bicycles. When re-
pairs to the road are necessary, narrow
path could be left smooth, 30 that at no
point would it be necessary to dismount.
For this extra care. q small toll could be
which would greatly increase
the net profits OF the company, and would
be willingly paid by travellers, whose
right OF way would thus be recognized ~
