to many and the sympathy of the community
is extended to the bereaved family.
We cannot forbear, in this connection, a
word as to the condition Of Poplar HILL"
leading from Warren to the NJ. p. Church
Cemetery, the burying ground of the commu-
nifty. 1t seems entirely neglected and is cry
ing shame to the management of the county.
After using the roads OF large parts of three
counties extensively. declare advisedly that
l know of no more dangerous bit of highway
than this. Dreadfully steep, as stony as it
could well be, narrow in places, washed by
rains, this hill is constant menace to the life
of travellers. Numerous funeral PROFESSIONS
must use this road and we are expecting to
hear of some frightful accident. There are
doubtless difficulties in the way of permanent
ly repairing the hill, but we plead for some
attention at any rate.
Melvin Hedrick, son of Mr.. Noah Hedrick,
OF this place, while at play on Monday OF last

latter species. The marks of the fangs are al
most an inch apart The brother Of the in
jured boy Lee Hedrick, was with him, and
Immediately sucked out the venom, probably
thus saving his life. We admire the bravery
and thoughtfulness of twelve year-old boy
was called and the boy is doing well. L.

bids fair to turn out well, but the yield of to-
matoes will be only fair. Owing to so much
rainy weather the fields have not been worked
as they should have been and the grass and
weeds have taken possession of some of them.
