 The most exciting business for few weeks has been huckleberrying. Peop,e hocking from far and near to the berry lots in Norfolk. Many of our older people remember when Sunday was a quiet day and observed by all. Now the loads of young and old with pails and baskets and all having good time are going so much on Sundays we won der if this is Christian land or if the old observance of the Lords day is a thing of the past.

 lively fishing party consisting of Mir and Mrs B. I. Smith of Kent, Mir and Mrs R. R. Frink this place. Miss Mamie 5. Bibbins of Bridgeport, Miss Lewey B Frink of this place aud Geo. B. Friuk of Bridgeport visited Tyler Lake aE Goshen few days since. Their conveyance was an automobile of the latest style and speed They were kind. ly greeted by all of the curious country men on the road as the like of such a vehicle they never, nor their grand an- cestors ever dreamed of beholiing. The noiseless transport carried them over the hilly roads, and notwithstanding the catch of fish was large, which added more weight on their return, all were safely returned to the residence of Mr. Rufus 5 Frink. Ths day was fine and nothing int rvened to make this one of the most pleasant excursions from here to that lake for fishing. It is hoped that their faces will be again seen in our village. Some skeptics thought it was farm wagon but it's noiseless move ment proved otherwise,
