Talk about pumpkins viii Whor-
ton can knock the spots off of any
other raiser Of said kind Of fruit in
the county. On a lot few feet wide
and running back about a hundred
feet from Third street ne raised a
large quantity Of pumpkins weighing
from two to 20 pounds each. One of
the pumpkins IS too large TO go in a
flour barrel. Many varieties are rep
resented in the collection and every
one of them viii make the good old
fashioned pie.
The rabbits will soon be ripe. AL
ready the old blunGerbusses are being
put into shape for the fall campaign.
There are said to be lots of Dummies
and the past season has been very
favorable for them. There are q
great many birds. The farmers should
keep a sharp watch on those so-called
sportsmen who will attempt TO kill
the birds in violation of the law and
they should be made to pay for any
violations of it.
Yesterday afternoon two horses
attached to light canopy top wagon,
and belonging to Mr.. Peter Gortner,
took fright at train backing on the
switch at the depot. They ran out
of the depot yard and encountered
an electric light pole in front of Dr.
j. Lee McComas' residence. The
wagon was overturned and badly
broken. Two small boys of Joseph
Murphy's were in the wagon when
the horses started, but they were
thrown out before it overturned and
were not hurt.
1t is often remarked by people on
the street, when they see a soldier
home on furlough and wearing his
uniform, that he does it to show off
This is not the case by any means
Army rules compel them to wear their
uniforms while off on furlough. As
soon as they don citizens clothes they
become deserters and can be arrested
by any constable and turned over to
the army officials, a reward of $40
being offered for such arrest
The Pennsylvania railroad is about
to make an experiment with yellow
pine ties. They will commence the
use of this tie on the middle division
and if they prove a success they will
be used on other parts of the road.
The ties have been treated to a solu-
ton of creosote and other chemicals,
and it is thought they will last longer
than the oak. Yellow pine can be
had in abundance in the south, while
the oak is gradually diminishing in
the north, hence the change.

Rev. William Brayshaw had a de-
lightful visit to Friendsvile and Krug
last week. At the latter place, by
courtesy of the proprietors, he in
spected the large plant for saving
lumber, slaves, etc, also the new
building for barrel making. Very
few persons have an idea of the
amount of benefit to our county such
works prove themselves to be by Civ
ing employment to a large number
of men at remunerative wages. A
further help would be extending the
road from its present terminus to
Oakland. Think of travelling 1877
miles by rail to get "a miles from
home! During the trip Mr. Bray
shaw preached at Friendsville to an
interested congregation.
Our little boy was afflicted with
rheumatism in his knee; and at times
unable to put his knee to the floor.
We tried i'll vain, everything we could
hear of that we thought would help
him. We almost gave up in despair,
when some one advised us to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We did
so, and the first bottle gave so much
relief that we got second one, and,
to our surprise, it cured him sound
and well.-J. Y. BAYS, Pastor Chris
