Walter Kyte, youngest son Of John
and Sarah Kyle of Hainesvilie, died
at his parents home on Thursday
last, aged about 81 years. His health
had not heen good for some years,
yet he was about the farm most of
the time. He was sober, temperate,
Obliging to all, and was much
respected.
Visiting the Hainesville cemetery
a day or two ago 1 noticed the hand
some monument erected to the mem
ory of Jacob b. GARNER and Cath
arine, his wife. Soon after her hus-
bands death Mrs. GARNER had the
stone erected and I was informed
that her remains are inferred in the
cemetery Of the Orange county poor
farm. Relatives should see to it that
her remains are laid to rest along
side of those of her husband, in her
beautiful plot in the Hainesville
cemetery.
Just because a trustee did not like
the teacher engaged to teach his
school, he refused to let her have the
key of the school room and has it yet,
and to cap the climax, he did not
have the school room cleaned as did
the trustees of other schools, and now
because another teacher had been en-
gagged, whom he does not like, he
threatens to shut up the school house,
but l guess his vaporizings are as
empty wind.
am glad to see that a good many
are cutting the brush and weeds along
the road adjoining their lands. Here
and there is one who does not attend
to this duty and when such is the
case it is the duty of the road master
to do the work and charge the same
to the owner of the lands. AT least
1 think that is the law.
The Farmers, Mechanics and
Tradesmen's picnic came off on Sat
urday last and like many of the pie
MICS wound up in rainstorm. The
attendance was not as large as il
former years and almost every one
condemned the condition of the
grounds. 1t is pretty safe to predict
that unless those grounds are put
in order the people will not attend
for the grounds were in a horrible
condition, to say nothing about the
road getting in and out from the
grounds.
notice in the post Office at Layton
the time table of trains on the Dela'
ware Valley railroad from Strouds-
burg to Bushkill announcing the ar
rival and departure of trains from
those points. Their engineers are
surveying a line through this town
and it is to be hoped that no difficulty
will be encountered in getting right
of way. A railroad through this
valley can not fail in benefiting the
inhabitants, and now that the pros
poets are bright no obstacles should
be thrown in its way.
The Sunday school picnic held on
Thursday last in V. E. Bevans' grove
was largely attended, and Judging
from what hear all had a pleasant
time.
The Sussex Record came out in a
new dress in its last issue, and It's
plain print is just the thing. May
the Record continue to prosper is the
wish Of its many readers.
Edward Adams, wife and daugh,

Some teachers have a habit OF
making applications for schools in
different townships to the annoyance
Of the boards of education. The 6
schools Of this town opened on Tues
day, and with the exception of the
school at Bevans all are in operation.
A Miss Brown was chosen by our
board for that school, and a day ol
two ago notice was received that she
hada school at the time ofhiring here.
1t is annoying to school officials and
defeated a local teacher from getting
that school and applications from
such win mot be considered by oul
board in the future.
