! see by the papers that work has
comm snced ON the valley road from
stroudsburg to Bushkill, Pa. Now
l am in hopes that the builders of
this road may see the importance Of
extending the line to Port Jervis, 26
miles further on. In that case the
pc pie of this section would be bene-
fitted.
AS write, / hear the rattle Of
milk cans, showing chat some Of our
farmers are patronizing the cream
cry. If the creamery at Montague
is a paying institution, there is no
reason why this one should not pay
as well; and If the farmers do not
patronize it they have themselves to
blame. 1t is new thing here and
many are 50 inclined to run their
farm in the rut of their fathers that
it is hard for them to get out of that
rut, unless they see the dollars in it.
Mine Host Baries of Barnes Hotel,
Newton, and another gentleman Wis
tied this section on Thursday last
and while here took in the fishery;
with what results ] did not learn.
Come again, gentlemen, when the
river is right and you will have no
cause to complain.
Last year oar people were praying
for rain, and now that we are abun-
dantly blessed in that line they are
praying for it to stop long enough
to get their corn ground broken up
and planted. Some. rather than be
late, have kept the plow going wet or
no wet.
On arriving at my school room on
Tuesday morning l saw that a pane
of glass had been broken and upon
entering the room found quail sit
ting on my desk. The bird had
probably been pdrsued by a hawk
and striking the window went
through. The bird was unhurt.

expected He is survived by his
wife and several small children.
Joseph Jaeger started his meat
wagon last week, and as Joe endeav-
ors to carry the best quality of meats
he respectfully asks the patronage OF
the public.
Not much success has been scored
at the fishery yet, but those owning
shares say thatcas soon as the river
gets lower the fishing will be good.
The river has had a rafting freshet
for the past week or ten days. Then
there isn't much use in trying to
capture shad.
Some dog with taste for Belgian
hare got among those of John Sni-
der's a night or two ago, and
the result was nine dead hare. If
was that dog 1 would steer clear of
Johns coop when he is around, for
if caught on the premises there will
be dead dog, sure.
Mrs. Sallie Bevan, wife of Obadiah
Bevan of Hainesville, died at her

paralysis rendering her almost help
less. She is survived by her hus-
band and one daughter, wife of John
b. jaeger. Her only son, Emmett,
died some years ago in Scranton, Pa.
The young folks are planning to

they will have just what they are
planning for.
