There has been most excellent skating
on Harman's pond during the past week,
and each day there could be seen very
many Of our young people enjoying the |
sport. The ice was smooth and safe, af-
fording grand opportunity for all lovers
Of this "King" Of winter sports Among
those enjoying the sport at ''Hsrman's"
during the past few days were the follow
ing; Mrs. Winfield Lattomns, Mrs. Wal
ter Gill, Mrs. Retta stradley, Misses Liz
zie Savin, Viola Watts, Annie Lattomus,
Emma Fritz, Mary Money, Euphemior
Collins, Bessie Phillips, Anna Jones,
Alma Lyman, Hannah Wright, Luta
Outten, Messrs. William Lyman, Peter
Hafner, Herman Yanhorn, Roland Rey-

Miss Ethelwyn Maloney, the daughter
Of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Maloney, has been
i'll at the home of her parents
On Main street for several days. The
young lady contracted severe cold
which quickly developed into pneumonia,
combined with typhoid fever, and up to
Wednesday night she seemed to grow
worse steadily, but we heard encourag-
encouraging news, when an
inquiry as to the condition of this most
young lady brought forth the
nswer: ''she is somewhat BETTER" on
thursday. We do hope that she is now
'ast the danger point, and that her ul-
innate recovery is but question of a 7
cry short time. Her many friends have
teadily shown the greatest anxiety over
er condition on being informed of her
lness.
William Wells is now declared the
hampton skater of this place, and now 7
e should like to hear what Mr.. Mont
omery has to say regarding the ultima
I'm sent out by Mr.. Wells. A Short
me ago Mr.. Montgomery declared him
If entitled'to championship honors, but 4
seems that the matter has become very 4
uch complicated and can only be set
ed by a match between Mr.. Wells and
II. Montgomery on the smooth and tc
lite thick ice that covers Harman's
ond. A race at that place between al
ese gentlemen would certainly prove :.
ghly interesting to the large crowd of
ectators that would be sure to assemble .
witness the match. We believe that
r. Wells agrees to this offer, but we
i've yet to hear from Mr.. Montgomery
: We have been unable to submit the
oposition to Mr.. Montgomery sofar, he
ling out Of town for few days.
