The Year Middleburg Was Laid Out.

COnSluclnDleu discussion mas arisen
since the talk of havinga centennial,
as to exactly what year the town
was laid out. Mr.. Samnel Witten-
myer, the oldest citizen of the town,
says on this point that his father,
Michael Wittenmyer, erecteda build
ing on the store corner in 1901 and
that the town must have been laid
out for several years before that
time, at least Iback as far as 1900,
so that the town is not less than
100 years old. Itisunfortunate that
the town plot bears no Gate. Old
Michael Wittenmyer was a clock
maker and in 1901 bought the lot
where Milton Moatzlives from John
Swincford, the owner of the town,
for a 24-hour clock. Mr.. Witten-
myer had the cellar almost dug when
Mr.. Swineford came to the site of
the building and told Mr.. Witten-
myer that he ought to have the lot
out at the corner and then it would
pay him to put up good house.
Mr.. Wittenmyer replied that he did
not have the money to buy such an
expensive lot, whereupon Mr.. Swine
ford agreed to take back the Moatz
lot and would sell Wittenmyer the
corner lot if the latter would make
him an eight-day clock! The offer
was accepted. The erection of the
building commenced at once. This
was in 1901. At that time there
were only three or four buildings in
this neighborhood. John Swineford
resided and kept hotel on the lot
where John Mover now resides.
This was the first hotel in this sec
ton and that began to entertain
guests as early as l1S7. There was
a house in 1901 out where MIR.
Fensterbush now resides, the old
Wittenmyer homestead. There was
a house on the corner, now the bank
lot, owned by Mr.. Benheimer, who
kept a store, and another back of
town on the road leading toward
New Berlin. There may have been
other houses in this vicinity, but that
is all tradition accounts for.
In 1902 the assessment list show
ed the following residents for Mid
dleburg John Aurand, joiner; John
Epler, David Fry shoemaker; Ja-
cob Fry, senior; Kennel Mark, ia
cob Lechner, inn-keeper; David
Liest, Isaac Mertz, Zacharias Mus.
sinna; John Nelson; Martin Smith
cooper; Robert Smith; GeorgeSpade
George Swineford; John Weller; Mi
chael Want; Michael Wittenmyer
clOck-maker.
The foregoing facts will Prov
beyond doubt that it is at leas
100 years since the town was lait
out and that it may be one or tw'
wears more. OF course the tow
was not laid out in day SO that
would be impossible to get the exac
dav when it would be 1O0years sine
the town was laid out. 1t is suffici
ent to be able to prove beyond
doubt that the minimum time is
least 100 years.

No Encore.

Thirty years ago one Of the famous
elephants that Travelled in this country
was Old Columbus. During one OF his
summer trips through Virginia he
stopped at the town of D.. In the
ncighboring town Of H a boy. ia
miliarly called Dave" and notorious
for leadership in all kinds of mis-
chievous tricks, determined to show off
before the other boys at Old Colum-
bus's expense, and invited several of
bis companions to 20 with him.
Having come to the elephants stable
Dave gave him first candy, then cake,
and finally cried: Now, boys" and
slipped q piece Of tobacco into his
proboscis, intending to get out of dan
GER and enjoy Old Columbus's disgust
and anger.
BIT before he could lrove Columbus
seized linn and wliiried him upward
through the opening overhead against
the roof of the stable.
Gnllurt by bis unexpected rise"
Dave dropped ON the haymow. The
other boys below, suppcsing this to be
the trick" promised them, cried out
in admiration:
Dave, Dave, do that again
Dave. comfortably seated out OF
harms way. earnestly answered:
NO. boys. l only do that trick once

Level Cultivation For Hoed Crops.

Level cultivation for hoed crops is
winning new advocates every year,
especially in corn crop, when grown
en- well drained land. Level cultiva-
tion has many things to recommend it..
1t enables YOU to destroy the weeds
close to the plants with greater facil-
ity and with less labor. 1t makes
gathering the crop much easier and
less strain and jar on the machinery.
The greatest advantage of all is leaving
the land so level for the next plowing,
as it is a most disagreeable task to
plow corn stubble ground that has been
left in ridges.
The hilling process will no doubt still
be followed on land that is not prop
erly drained, as in that case a heavy
rain would either drown out the plants
or leave the soil oilsimmediately about
them cold, sour and not suitable for
plant growth.-New England Home
