SANDYSTON.

Thanksgiving promises to be very
generally observed, and Judging by
the way buyers are picking up tur-
keys the people down country must
all want turkey for that day and
good many will be needed here, too.
A dinner will be given by a party
at Layton on that day consisting of
three, each Of whom was born on
Nov. %. The eldest was born in
1S43, the daughter in 1880 and the
invited young lady in 1887.
Eston Van Sickle departed on Sat
urday last to join his father in Ohio,
where he is engaged in business, and
Eston will be his assistant. Eston
is graduate of the Port Jervis high
school and can fill the position with
credit.
When the writer was in his teens
it required no effort to get enough
young folks together to have a dance
or party on short notice, but in
these days the ladies lean against the
church and the gents flee to the cities
to engineer one end or the other of
trolley car, and molasses candy pulls
are the only party in vogue. Well,
they beat sitting at home, if someone
doesn't steal the candy while cooling.
b. B. Hursh and wife are doing
the west in great shape, and when
last heard from were taking in the
sights Of Kansas City, Mo. Ben is
going to make a thorough job of it
and will see what is in the states
west Of the Mississippi.
The approaching farmers institute
to be held in the M. f. church at
Layton on Dec. I'd and 3rd promises
to be largely attended. The address
of Mr.. Gould of Ohio on "Neighbors
in Feathers" and clarifying for the
Creamery and How to Make 1t Pay"
will be worth going miles to hear.
Your Dingman's Ferry scribe re-
marks that they will try and
beat Sandyston in attendance
this year, All right, Mr.. Scribe,
just come over to our institute and
bring your wife and friends and as
this is the day of reciprocity we will
reciprocate by attending yours.
Please give us the date Of yours.
The trout hatchery at the Flatbrook
fish club now have about $4,000 eggs
in the boxes, which may be increased
to 100000 or even more, Under the
watchful management of b. F. Ros-
enkrans, the present manager, the
hatch has increased greatly and the
club will have a fine lot Of young
trout to let loose in our streams.
A hunting party was out one day
last week when one of the hunters
shot a partridge but was unable to
find the bird. Passing on they saw
a hawk flying near them with what
appeared to be a chicken in its grasp.
Making a great noise, the hawk
dropped its load and it proved to be
the lost partridge. This is fact.
In looking over our county papers
find that every one is condemning
the d., l.. & w. r. r. management
for the way it is running its trains to
the inconvenience Of its patrons.
Merchants with whom have talked
say that it takes a week TO get goods
from New York whereas formerly it
required a couple Of days. Branch
vile merchants say they will try the
Midland r. r. and have their goods
shipped to Augusta, as they can. get
them quicker and the charges are
less. While / am on the subject,
why not form a committee Of three
in each oftheover-moutain townships
to solicit the right Of way through
each, and see if we cannot get the
d. V. r. r. to pass thorough these
towns from FlatbroOkyille to Port
Jervis.
