Helen, only daughter Of William

after a long illness Sunday last, aged
about two years. On the 2s ult their
little son died of the same disease,
dysentery The sympathy Of this
community goes out to the bereaved

success both in attendance and

Many Of the poles of the Sussex
Telephone Company are leaning bad
ly and in some instances have fallen
down. 1t would seem that this
would impair the service and COM
plants are frequently heard that
such is the case. Doctor you had
better come over and take a look
around.
Now that efforts are being made to
straighten our roads and at the same
time avoid hills would it not be a
good idea to. change the road leading
from Layton to Dingman bridge by
locating the road beginning at Port
Layton's wagon house up the ravine
east of the present road crossing the
meadow ofArlie Major and striking
the main road near the residence Of
d. b. baltimore. This route would
avoid a long, steep hill.
Very few attended the Lake Grin
nell picnic Saturday from thissection.
People are too busy just now to be
taking in everything that is on the

street fair, Culvers picnic Saturday
next and the Newton Centennial
Immediately after will keep one
moving to attend them all.

0 to s. That will do.

remain fortnight with her parents.
The story that John Creveling was
to get nearly a thousand dollars,
principal and interest, of money left
by his deceased wife, turns out to be
fake. There was some money, but
will provided where it was to go,
years ago.
There is strong talk Of having
Sandyston township indicted for the
bad condition Of the road across the
mountain. No money has been
expended on this piece of road and it
is in a horrible condition. 1 suppose
our officials are waiting for the new
road to be completed sometime in
November next.
Robt. H, Everitt is much better
and if nothing sets in will soon be
