LEE MCCLA1N.
Probably the Oldest auctioneer
in Pennsylvania lives in this coun-
ty. He is D. S. Mellott, of Lick
ing Creek township. Mr. Me,lott
was 81 years old on Memorial
Day. He is the father of thirteen
children and the grandfather of
over sixty. He owns two shot
guns and two rifles, but prefers
to hunt with the latter. He says
his eyesight and nerves are good
enough yet to pick the head off a
squirrel on the top of the tallest
tree in Licking Creek township.
A slick swindler is now ON the
road victimizing physicians. He
manages to call at the Offices of
doctors in towns and country just
when they are out on professional
business, and on being so inform
ed by the members of the family
or those in charge he as a rule
asks permission to sit down and
write a note to the doctor, and if
the attendent should for a mo-
ment or so absent himself the ras-
cal quickly rifles the cases and
drawers of surgical and optical
instruments.

While he has always been very
successful with domestic bees, he
keeps an eye open for wild ones.
Last fall he found a "bee tree"
und as it was ina good place, he
concluded to leave it stand over
winter. Last Friday he cut il
and got 81 pounds Of fine honey,
and captured the bees, ,whichwere
Italians, and took them home, and
now they seem pleased with their
new quarters and are working as
"busy as bees. "

The many friends of Mrs. Geo
Snyder of Tod township were
paineu last week to learn that she
was suffering from a tumor, and
that a surgical operation had beer
! decided upon. On Friday Dr.
Unger of Mercersburg came over

large tumor from her right
breast. The operation was most
satisfactory; and it is hoped, now
