norf track would not be cut down
to q level with the south track for
twe or three years and probably not
at jill, as, owing to the sharp curve in
tie cut, the hauling capacity of the
enAines used on the road has not been
iniFeased even though the heavy
grllde has been reduced. It is
thought that an entirely new route
will be built at this point by making
acut straight through the hill. BY
doing this the distance would be
decreased half mile or more between
the eastern end of the present cut and
Hutton.
Mr.. FL. Norris, clerk of the drug
store OF r. Shoemaker, Perry, H.,
says: A man came into our store the
other day and said, 1 want a bottle
OF that stuff that saves children's
lives. l read in the News about it.
The children may get sick when we
cannot get the doctor quick enough.
Its the medicine you sell for Group
lie alluded to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and bought a bottle before
he left the store. For sale by Oakland
Pharmacy and DR.. j. w. Laughlin,
Deer Park.
Monday afternoon an agreement
was entered into by and between
Messrs. j. NJ. Davis and N. Maroney
u Son by which the latter become
the lessees of a piece of ground oppo-
site the City Roller Mills on Green
Street md extending back to the
alley between Green and Alder SITS,
upon which large livery stables will
be erected for occupancy at an early
date. The Messrs. Maroneys' stables
are now at the extreme east END of
town and in order to increase their
business they deemed it advisable to
seek Il more central location. TIL cir
stables have some of the finest horses
and vehicles Of any in Oakland and
coming into a more populous section
of town their business, we have no
doubt, will be increased cOmmensur-
ate with the publicity given it.
Mr.. VIM. j. Wilson, of near Blaine,
was in Oakland Monday on business.
Mr. Wilson, who comes from one Of
the pioneer families of the Allegany
mountains, was in reminiscent
mood upon former visit to Oakland
and recited to a number of friends
many of the early adventures he eX-
perienced in the hills about his home
and in the country adjacent thereto,
at that time an unbroked wilderness
extending for miles in all directions.
One of the incidents related by Mr..
Wilson was upon the occasion when
he and his brother, the late George
w. Wilson, whom everybody respect
ed for his sterling worth and ability,
went out one night when they were
both boys of ten and twelve years of
age. Their object was to catch fish
but becoming separated they did not
meet at the appointed place. Moth
ing was thought of this and Mr.. VIM.
j. Wilson returned home The next
morning his brother came in and up
on being questioned he related that
during the night he had freed coon
and not having a gun with which to
bring bre'r coon to the ground he had
taken off his shirt and tied it around
the trunk OF the tree IN order that
the coon would not escape. Having
done this he laid down at the root of
the tree and slept all night, not wish
ing to return home and leave the coy
eted game in the woods. Many other
incidents were related by Mr.. Wilson
which at this day would seem mirac-
ulous, but which, we have no doubt,
occurred just as Mr.. Wilson related
them
