CORRESPONDENCE.
sANDYsTON.

John w. Kitchen and wife of Col
umbia, N. j., spent several days
with Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Van Sickle
at Layton.
I notice that correspondents hail
ing hom Milford, intimate that the
recent smash up in which Haines-
Vile parties figured was not ended
and that something terrible was yet
to happen. If I am correctly in
formed the other parties were not
attending to their business or the
smash would not have happened.
Give us a rest on smash up"
B. D. Hursh, manager of the
Stroudsburg telephone company
spent last Sunday with his parents
at Layton Ben got caught on a
railroad bridge and had to run for
his life Luckily he was feet enough
to escape being hit by the engine,
but got a tumble bruising him up a
little. He can thank his lucky stars
that that bridge was no longer.
1 referred to whisky not paid for,
but sold and drunk and the seller
dared not take pay for the whisky,
and the purchaser is just that much
in pocket and Is accordingly happy
over the result. But how about
"tother feller"
The recent rains have washed our
roads and in many places they are
very rough add to that the loose
stone that should have been thrown
out that are entirely too numerous
for comfort. This is especially the
from Layton TO the Montague case
line.
DIR. Hughes and wife returned
home on Saturday after an outing O
nearly a month. They were at Ocear
Grove, N. j., Elmira, n. Y, anC
other points.
Inotice little paragraph in tn,
Port Jervis Gazette of the 16th
inst. which 1 think could be mad,
applicable in Jersey. The article il
as follows: "The truant officer o
the Florida, Drainage county, publ,
school ON a recent Monday ARRESTED
16 persons, parents of children, VIII,
violated the school law by allowing
their children to remain away from
school," They were fined SO eacl
and S4 and 50 were added to tn
fines of some offenders who "sassed'
the court. l think we have a simila
law, but no one has the nerve to en-
force the law, as did the Florida Of
fetal. AS the law now is, it is yer,
essential that all pupils attend schoc
and where they do not attend jus
clerk" them once and the non attend
ance is at an end.
Little Frank MclIeeby remain
about the same if anything slightl
improved. Miss Katie Kintner is s
much better as to be able to go out c
doors. Mrs. Sue d. Myers, who ha
been confined to her bed for the las
month, is critically ill at this writing
For the past mouth the mail fror
Branchville & Flatbrookville did nc
connect at Layton. On Monday tn
post Office department ordered tn
Branchville mail to leave that plaC
at 12 noon and the Flatbrookvill
mail to leave Layton at 2.15 p. m
so there is possibility of connectio
now. Heretofore it was impossibl
to make connection.
William Titman of Layton ha
purchased the Hotel of John A
Westbrook at Bevans, paying there
for 50, 100. Mr.. Westbrook has bee
in the hotel business for twenty-on
years and now that the inhrmities {
age begin to be felt by himself an
his estimable helpmeet, hehas decide
to relinquish the business. 1 think
am safe in saying that few hotels i
Sussex county have more closely con
piled with the requirements of tn
law than this presided over by job
A., and as for his culinary depar
ment, the drummers can tell you a
about that, for nearly all them max
