s~
j. a. Irwin left yesterday for
a week IN New York and Phila.
delphia to purchase his fall and
holiday goods.
1t is stated that there will be
26 SHOWS this winter on account
OF the first snow falling on @cto.
Der Goth.
Next Sunday Rev Shull will
preach at Sloan at 10 O'Clock in
the morning, and at Asbury at 2
in the afternoon.
Any of our subscribers who
may want their FULTON COUNTY
NEWS sent to Andover postoffice,
should notify us.
Miss Millie and Grace huston
OF Clear Ridge were over Sunday
with their aunts, Misses Ella and
Annie Irwin, Of this place.
r. 9. Hockensmith, writing
from Johnstown and sending a
dollar to advance his subscrip.
tion another year, says that
times are little dull there just
now, but there are hopes of their
Frightening up soon again.
F. M. Taylor, who has been
spending the summer in the
Rocky Mountains as a civil en-
gineer on the government geolog-
ical survey, came home last week.
MIR. Taylor proposes now, If
proper encouragement be given,
to get out new map of Fulton
county. The enterprise is com
mendable one, and we hope he
may be able to get it out.
DR.. and Mrs. II. S. Wishalt ex-
pect to leave Saturday morning
for a nice trip. Mrs. Wishart
will go to Johnstown to visit her
children, and the Doctor is gong
down south to help dedicate the
battlefield monument at Shiloh.
Returning he will go directly to
Johnstown, and he and Mrs.
Wishart will return to their home
at McConnellsburg about the
first of January.
The hunting season for deer
coming in on Monday, Dan Bark
man, the popular landlord at the
Mountain House up on Rays Hill,
took his gun and went out back
of the fields, and in a short time
came in lugglng a tive-pronged
1S0.pound buck on his back. AS
it is against the law for a man to
kill dozen deer in one day, he
didn't look for any more. Our
townsman, Tommy Sloan, who
boards there, Is now more than
ever tickled with the grub.
A few weeks ago it was noted
that the Atlantic Refining Com.
pany had drawn the line on
drinking among their employees.
Gradually most of the large la
Dor employing corporations are
coming to this. 1t IS particular
ly the case with railroad compa-
MES, who have been taught by
long experience that drinking
men are not reliable and cannot
be depended on in cases of emer.
gency. This is "a practical tenn
perance reform.

Local and General News of Interest
to Ships and Shippers.
Capt. Davidson of the schooner Jo-
seph W. Brooks, is among the sea cap
tains in port Capt. Davidson has had
rough experiences along the coast.
during which his life has been endanl
gered. He has fought wind and flame
at the same time. On the schooner he
commanded before taking charge of
the Brooks, Capt. Davidson once ar
rived here after being. several days in
storm, and with the vessel greatly
damaged by fire. Flames broke out
in the cabin, d lamp overturning while
the captain and crew were on deck
caring for the storm-tossed vessel.
Capt. Davidson came out all right in
that predicament, as he has in all 9TH
ers since. His record as a seaman is
a good one.
Along the Hutchinsons Island shore
little is doing. There are not many
vessels loading at the Seaboard Air
Line terminals. Usually at this sea-
son numerous schooners are over there
loading lumber for the North. Early
January is expected to usher in a more
active lQIllDSI DuS1Il6bSs
The late arrival of steamers for
which cargo is being held locally is
having a slight effect on the money
market. The large amounts tied up in
the freight held for export deprives the
local money market of considerable
funds.
The remodeled dredge He'll Gate,
which was brought to. Philadelphia
from New York some weeks ago, will
begin work soon removing loose rocks
from the channel through Schooner
Ledge. Unless she becomes endan-
gered by floating cakes of ice it is
hoped to continue the work of remov-
ing these distractions until late in
January.
The boat is equipped with huge
graphing irons, which are lowered to
the bed of the river, where divers ad-
lust them about heavy masses of
stone. Powerful engines on the boat
lift the mass to the surface and 1t is
deposited on barges and towed to
some dumping ground.
The work on Schooner Ledge is pre-
liminary to the project which contem-
plates drilling, blasting and dredging
a 3O-foot and, perhaps, a 35-foot chan
is one Of the most dangerous shoals
in the channel, AID it is Capt. San
ford's plan to have the Hell Gate re-
move. before the ice interferes, a num-
Der of jagged distractions that have
given trouble during past winters.
These rocks are dangerous only in
winter when there is less water in the
river.
The suction dredge Cape Fear is be-
ing made ready to steam to Southern
waters as soon as the foes Of ice rem
der it dangerous for her to continue
work on Cherry Island Flats. Since,
she began work in the Delaware on
oct. 10 she has scooped out about l.
600 cubic yards of mud daily.
