The Golden Days of Youth.


A merry party Of eight young ladies
under the chaperonage of Mrs. j. X. Os-
good went up TO Dawson run last, Thurs
day morning on train 80 fer days out
ing in the woods. After reaching Daw-
son station the girls walked mile up the
run to 0sgood & Jamieson's mill and af-
ter an hour spent in watching the mill
running, riding OH lumber cars, ETC., the
party procured fishing tackle and went
trouting, and their phenomenal success
banishes the moss-grown theory that
trout Will not bite if you make a noise,
for il is needless to say that this party Of
girls, Just released from long term of
school "made the welkin ring" as they
gave vent to their pent up emotions njoy-
Gus shouts and merry laughter After tir-
ing of fishing the party returned to the
mill and dinner was spread on thetop OF a
board pile twenty feet high, and this was
the only time during the day that there
was asenlblance Of quietude on the part
of the croud. After dinner the party
went trouting again and thus the time
was spent until thirty nine trsut had
been caught and it was time to return on
train 33 in the evening. After arriving
home they enjoyed buss ride around
town. All in all it was great day for
what we will call the Fairy Fishing Club,
but this was not to he the end of it, as all
were invited to the home of Helen Smear
baugh for fish break fast the next morn
ing and this proved one of the most en-
joyable features of all. Following is a
roster of the club:
Alice Arner, Edith Hopkins, Katie Os-
good, Helen Smearbaugh, Bertha Vought,
Edna Agnew, Evlyn Clark and Grace
Armstrong.
Charles Davis, whose home is in It'd
ioute, was hit by a board thrown from
the edger saw in the mill at Endeavor on
wednesday last and quite severely,
though perhaps not seriously, injured.
He was engaged in running out lumber
and was near the edger at the time. The
board struck him at the hip with terrific
force, making very severe bruise, and
perhaps breaking one of the bones,
though that could not be fully determined
at the time by the physician, DR.. Dunn,
who found the man in great pain. He
was taken TO his home and we under
stand has been doing we'll considering the
painful nature of his injuries.
of Miss Ackerman, who lectures un-
der the auspices of the w. G.. T. q. at the
Presbpterion church Saturday and Sun
day evenings, the Ceicago Inter Ocean
says: "Her unlimited opportunity for
observation has given her fund ofinfor-
nation on all popular themes possessed
by no other living woman. With a SUI
perb platform presence, fine voice, fund
of humor, ready wit and marvellous de-
scriptivo powers, she captivates her au'
| dience at once and carries them on the
wings of thovght amid scenes strange
weird, grand and wonderful" You will
miss rare treat you fail to hear this
gifted lady. The Sunday evening lecture
will be iR the nature of a union service.
Monday evening an unusually large
number of young people was present a
the Christian Endeavor prayer meeting
at the Presbyterian church, which wa
lead by Mrs. T. f. Ritchey. At the clos
of the meeting Mrs. Ritchey extended al
invitation to all present to go to Heath
Killmers store to partake of ice cream
provided by Mr.. Ritchey and herself
Tho invitation was delightful surpris,
to all the young people, and for once III
one was sorry he or she had attende'
praycr-meeting. Everything was cheer
full and inviting when they reached tn
store, and while these guests were bein
served ice cream, the band played 70
them in front OF the store. When all ha
gone, the band boys were also treated t
ice cream by Mr.. and Mrs. Ritchey.
