man Doyener for appointment as
postmaster at that place.

THE dry winds of the last few
days have dried up the roads won
derfully and if it does not rain for
little while longer they will be in
excellent shape.
THERE is to be grand fox hunt
on Thanksgiving day in which all
the shaggy tails in this section
will be entered. The fox hunting
population is in great fiutter over
the impending event.
THE officials have their eyes on
some parties about town who are re-
ported to be killing quail in the
county. If case can be made out
against them they will be prosecu-
ted to the full extent of the law.
The public schools will close to
morrow on account of Thanksgiving.
The University work will also be
suspended. But few students from
the latter institution will spend the
day at home as exams are too close
to permit of such a trip at this time.
THERE is report in circulation to

killing quail goes to the informant.
1t should also be borne in mind that
it is not necessary to see the actual
shooting to make tia good case, but
the mere fact of having the birds in
ones possession is prima facie evil
dence of law breaking.
A LETTER from Earl III. Smith in
forms us that we were mistaken in
thinking that he had gone to the V.
M. [. He says that he will be back
here as soon as the condition of his
grandfather will permit. We are
glad to know that he will return.
The information about his going to
V. M. |. was given us by John John

The foot ball team left this after
noon for Latrobe where they will
meet the strongest team in Western
Pennsylvania tomorrow. OF course
few expect victory yet the score is
not expected to reach a very high
figure. If Latrobe scores less than
three touch downs on us it will be
victory They expect to win with
score of about 40 to O. Few root
ers accompanied the team as the
time was so short after the game
was arranged. Profs. Whyte and
Hodges went along. The former is
to be one of the officials tomorrow.
We are to get expenses and 500 or
