efforts to please, and to make those
who stop with him feel at home. This

he had been keeping t, vern during
the forties.
John Bender says, Cooks wife,
Aunt Hannah, as she was generally

1914 she was bitter in her denuncia-

her one day-"Polk. Polk, elect
ted! He'll only get one vote, and that
will be Sam Michaels down at McCon-
uellstown."
About ten years after the above oc-
currence, John Linn, well-known
carpenter of this place, was helping to
put a roof on Cooks tavern. Cook,
himself, besides being tavern keeper,
was a good gunsmith. In the spout
ing, John and his companion found
piece of steel which looked unusually
good, and they took it to black
smith shop and had two nail sinkers-
a carpenter can tell you what nail
sinker is-and John says he has car
ried his in his pocket ever since, has
it now, and would not like to part with
it.
