Time was when a stranger on the
streets of Oakland was an item of
curiosity to everyone. Now one meets
them every day but never stops to
ask who they are unless something
out Of the ordinary attracts them.
Times are changing and the town is
changing with them.
P. 7. Cartwright, ESQ, in company
with one or two other persons, few
days ago purchased a portion of the
Hickey land, comprising something
over 200 acres, which lies west and
north of Oakland along the Big
'Youghiogheny River and which is
underlaid with two valuable veins of
coal. The mineral may be developed
at once.
Every acquaintance and friend
sympathizes with the sorrowing
widow, parents and relatives of the
late Rev. VIM. G. Davis. His death
is sad one. He was young and in
the vigor of manhood and in the
midst of a career of usefulness. His
untimely end is mystery known
only to Him who gives and takes
away life.
A farmer says there are some curl
GUS things about corn, and one is,
where do the red and speckled ears
come from when you do not plant
any but white corn? And another is
why don't we find an ear with an odd
number of rows on it? You can find
a four-leaf clover, but you never have
found an odd row on an ear of corn.
1t is always fourteen, sixteen, twenty,
or some other even number, and we
would like to know about its mathe-
matics and what objections nature
has in these instances to odd num-
bers.
The thing to do is to pull together,
help the town, help the country, help
yourself. The prosperity of one is the
prosperity of all. Put down your
neighbor and you hurt yourself. Put
wire across the path of progress and
you'll break your neck. Be helpful,
big-hearted and broad-gauged. There
is nothing that hurts business so
quickly as the presence in the world
of tight-faced, claw listed, hawk
eyed, cat-footed, penny-squeezing
man-that cross between a glue pot
and vinegar jar, who never spends
a dollar until he sees a dollar and
ninety-eight cents in sight. Just
weigh that.
The drought which has been pre-
vailing in thIs section of the country
for the past month or more is begin
ming to assume serious proportions.
