A Dream.



On the night Of June 3Oth, 1902, E G.
Davy, of Four Mile, had to him a very
curious and troublesome dream or
vision. A voice from some unseen
person, the voice of man said to him,
600 up Dodge Hollow, (which is
about one-half mile from his home)
and there you will find large snake,
but be very careful or it will bite you"
The next morning he went to Empor-
ium, still his dream haunted him, he
could not get rid of it. So after getting
home and hastily eating his dinner, he
took his rifle, without telling his family
where he was going or his purpose,
and walked as nearly as possible where
the voice directed Seeing nothing
and being weary with his walk and the
oppressive heat thought he would sit
down and watch a short time. He sat
down on the ground leaned against a
tree and soon fell asleep. Thinks he
slept one half an hour and at once be.
gan to retrace his steps fearing his wife
might be uneasy as to his where
abouts He walked but few steps and
there not over six feet ahead in the
same path he travelled going there lay
large black rattle snake in deadly
coil ready to spring on his victim. 1t
was only the work of moment for his
trusty Maynard was soon brought into
requisition. His snakeship was Just
four feet long and is the only one
known to have been killed in this
vicinity this season. Can anybody
explain from whence the voice came,
from whom and why?

Prof Z. s Ling.

On Saturday Prof. Edward S. Ling,
former assistant principal of the Bed
ford schools, was elected principal of
the public schools of Emporium. The
people of Emporium are fortunate in
securing the services of such a capable
instructor. Professor Ling is schol-
arly man, an enthusiastic and progress
sive educator and a perfect gentleman.
By his upright life he has won the conf
dence and esteem of the people of Bed
ford. His work in the school room has
been highly satisfactory, his relations
with the pupils who were under his
charge being always cordial and pleas
ant. Emporium is the county seat of
Cameron county and has population
of 2, 1853. bedford Gazette, July 4.
So
Professor E. s. Ling, of New Buena
Vista, Pa, has been elected principal of
the public schools of Emporium, Cam.
eron county, Pa. Prof Ling served as
assistant principal in Bedford public
schools for eight years, performing his
duties in most successful manner, he
having almost the exclusive control of
the High School during that time, and
being In position as On advisor with the
board in the arrangements Tor com
mence exercises of each year.
Eight years ago Mr.. Ling came to
Bedford almost an entire stranger to
everybody in the town. He was chosen
for the position which he occupied up
to the time of his resignation this
spring. In this time he won host of
friends in Bedford by his integrity. No
more efficient work was ever done in
the Bedford High School than that
done by Prof. E. S. Ling.
When it was learned that Mr.. Ling
had resigned his assistant principalship
of our schools it was a surprise to all,
and general expression of regret exist
ed among our young people as well as
the citizens of Bedford. We feel that
success will crown all his efforts in
future life, because of his thoroughness
as an educational adviser and as a
strictly moral, Christian man. The
Hawkeye joins in wishing Prof. Ling
success in his new field of labor.-Bed-
ford Hawkeye, July 4th.
