The rain which set in Tuesday
night was very heavy for an hour or
two and had the effect of softening
up the ice and snow where it was
drifted to such an extent as to make
the roads well-nigh impossible. Par
ties coming to Oakland over the
Hooppole road report that highway
in terrible condition. A sled or
wagon cannot be gotten oyer it and
in many places where one attempted
to travel on a horse the dismounting
process had to be gone through with
many times.
Last Saturday jolly crowd of hand
some Grantsville ladies came to Sails

Keller, Mrs. Chas. Bender, Mrs. J. o.
Getty, Mrs. G. d. Hershberger and
Mrs. E. w. Bevans. Our genial friend
Henry Sausman was the driver and
the only gentleman in the party. He
looked like a thorn among a lot of
pretty roses, and no doubt he felt that
way. But all the same the editor en-
We'd him. Ladies, come again and
bring Henry along.-Salisbury Star.
There are ways by which town is
judged and one of these ways is
through the columns of the newspa-
per. The people who pick up the
paper will think the town lively one
if they see live advertising there.
They will think the business men are
wide awake because they have some
thing to say about their stocks and
about their anxiety to move the
goods. When all the merchants in
the town are hustling for business
more business will come to that town
than will go to other towns in which
the business men take but little in
terest in pushing. A good advertiser
is great benefit to town, therefore,
if he is able to get the people think
ing that the town il a good one and
that the life of the place is such that
the business men have to hustle.
