Bob Van Sickle is now owner
of the trick pony that viii Elicit
was performing with last week, and
Bob. will vary the performance
somewhat, or 1 am a sinner.
viii Bevans has his application
in for a position on trolley line in
NY, and is expecting his call at
any time.
This is to call the attention of a
gentlemnn, perhaps from the vicin-
ity of Milford, that he dropped a
useful article at the gate at Pine
Hill Farm late one night about two
weeks ago and that we are using it
to protect our garden truck from
frost until the owner sends us his
address, or calls for his property.
w. G. Hursh, a veteran of the 1st
N. j, Cavalry, met with the surviv-
ors of his regiment in their 18th
Annual Reunion at Jersey City last
Thursday. He reports an atten-
dance of over 20, and grand good
time by all.
James Tucker, the pioneer chick
en- man of Sandyston, has the finest
lot of squashes that we have seen in
years. Any one desirous of secur-
ing some of this excellent material
for pie or other culinary purposes
will find it to their interest to give
James a call.
Mary Ann did not get the squash,
but it is rumored that she did get 81
as an equivalent, and didn't have to
use a stomach pump either.
Mrs. Geo. Porter, we are sorry to
learn, does not improve in health,
but on the other hand her condition
is now thought to be critical.
The Herald correspondent wants
to know who it was that left valu
able property near Centreville, and
that is what we are trying to get at
too. We will all know when it is
identified.
Don't forget the chicken pie sup
per in the Chapel at Bevans on the
evening of Oct. 26 There !will be
lots of other good things, too, and
the ladies at the Chapel know just
how to entertain their guests We
have been there before, and think
we know a good thing when we sec
it. Just 'twixt you and me we
wouldn t miss it for farm.
The dance at Peter Drinks last
Thursday night was not d success
The boys forgot to take their girls
and of course no girls, no dance.
The festival at the Hainesville
church on Thursday night was well
patrouized and nearly $50. was add.
ed to pastor Burley's bank account
The supper was elegant and every
thing went off charmingly until after
a day or so when several'participants
were attacked by cramps, and other
meandering pains which same they
lay to the pot-pie supper. Wheth.
er the chickens were over ripe, OF
the devil was in the broth nobody
seems to know,
A, S. Stoll, of Bevans, has one Of
the best fields of corn in the valley
DeAlton Dilliston says so, and he
knows.
VIM. f. Rosenkrans continues tC
grade and get the grounds in orde
around his new store until it is ad
mittedly the finest business site il
the village. 1t is in good shape
within, as we'll. and if you wish tc
see the newest and most perfect
thing in scales just drop in and SET
his new computing scale. 1t is a
beauty and a marvel of finish and
exactness.
Several parties around here seen
to have just cause for complaint OF
the extortionate charges by the ex.
press companies. Certainly, thai
is what express companies exist for
If the government had hold of this
business, and run it as it does the
mails what a saving would result tC
