Well, | guess the mad dog
craze is all over by this time. If
people would stop giving poison
to dogs, | don't think there would
be any rabies. The following is
clipped from the Farm Journal
Of July 1908: "We are sorry to
see the Pennsylvania State De-
partment of Agriculture helping
along the mad dog cry by secur-
ing the passage of foolish law on
the subject-as though people
generally are not already too will
ing to believe that every lost dog
that lolls his tongue out on hot
day after a long trot to find his
master is mad and ought to be
chased, shot at, and killed. This
law bodies no good to the noble,
devoted dog and ought never to
have been enacted. Not one

in the belief that they are mad,
are really so-no, not one in ten.

Death OF Charles l.. IIendershot.

May 80, 1908, Charles L. Hen
dershot, son of VIM. and Laura
Hendershot, aged II years, IL
months and a few days, died at
their home at townsville, Ohio
Charles had not been in his usu-
al health for a week, but no seri-
Gus results we're feared until
few days before his death, when
he was taken with brain trout BILE
and convulsions. The news of his
death brought sadness to his
friends and scboolmates, it being
the morning of the day that he
was to finish his course in the
townsville High School. He was
a promising young man; pros
poets of a bright future and a
useful life were before HIM, and
the sudden ending of his earthly
career was a great sorrow to his
parents, brothers, classmates
and friends. He was faithful
Sabbath school scholar, and at
the beginning of his illness ex'
pressed desire to become a
Christian, and left evidence that
all was well. The funeral SER
vices were held in the U. b.
church on Sunday morning, and
were attended by great num-
ber of sympathlzlng friends and
relatives. The floral tributes OF
friends, OF the U. B. Sabbath
school and of teachers and schol
ars Of the public schools were
] many and beautiful.

Sixteen New Wires Along State Road.
Drowning of James Blake.

The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company are putting
sixteen new wires on their line
along the State Road.
Jamie Gilliland spent a little
while of Saturday and Sunday in
this vicinity having driven up
from Burnt Cabins.
A few of our young people at
tended Independence Day Cele-
bration on Clear Ridge.
Joseph Price was called to Or
bisonia last Friday to attend the
funeral of his grandson James
Blake who met his death by
drowning, in Backlog creek last
Wednesday evening. The details
of the sad affair are about as fol-
lows: James, a son of Samuel
Blake, was aged about Is years,
and was employed in a stone
quarry by the Rockhil Furnace
Company, James quit work
Wednesday evening, and started
home, as was bis custom, down
the railroad, and it is supposed
that, as the day was oppressively
hot he went in bathing, and that
he took cramp, with no one near
to assist him and drowned.
The family waited supper on
him a reasonable time, and his
failure to come caused the family
some alarm, but still they thought
he was detained in some way and
would soon come in, but night
coming on and he not arriving
they started out in search of him
searching the entire night, and
finally about day light they found
his clothing and dinner pail on
the bank of the creek, and short.
ly after discovered his dead body
which later in the morning was
removed to the home of his be-
reaved parents in buggy by his
uncl,, A. L. Burns. James was
a bright boy and the family have
the sympathy of their former
friends and neighbors here.

THE CAP WAS LOADED
Lad Loses Thumb and Finger by Exper-
menting With Dynamite Cap.

hhShuhS WIN Uyhdhnte zap.
Last Sunday Bruce Paylor, a
lad of about fourteen years of
age, son of w. Fl. Paylor of Ayr
township, was visiting at the
home of a neighbor, Geo. Thom-
as. While Bruce and the Thom-
as boys were at the corncrib,
they found some fuse and dyna-
mite caps, and thinking to have a
little quiet sport they decided to
explode cap; but in doing so,
the wicked cap blew off the end
of the thumb and index finger of
Bruce's left hand. DR.. Mosser
was called and dressed the injur-
ed mem bers but Bruce will,
during the remainder of his life,
carry a reminder that dynamite
caps are dangerous play ythings.
