THE RAMBlER'S PIcKINes

Easter is past, the day was
pleasanter than expected and large
congregations were the rules in all
our village churches.
Some twenty five or more of our
town men enjoyed a ride in a now
ferry scow from the eddy here down
to Nomanock Island. Uncle Nate
Fuller acted as captain and Britt
Thomas and Thos. Steele attended
to the steering. One of our BARRIERS
got afraid and had to be taken ashore
near Raymondskill On the return
in the farm wagon Of Henry Merring
a match careles ly dropped caused
Chief of Police Wood to roll out over
one of the hind wheels, Britton
dropped out behind and Councilman
Quick and the Editor of the Dispatch
never knew how they got out of the
wagon.
Eddie Klein is going to raise corn
this season.
DR.. de Plasse and family and John
Radcliffe of New York were Sunday
visitors in town.
Mrs. Augusta Boyd Of Port Jervis
was a visitor in town the fore part
of the week.
A stranger came into town not far
from here who parted his hair in the
middle, put lie on it, his collar near
ly reached to the top of his ears.
He put on nice clothes and was
somebody. The result was he soon
knew more than everybody else,
which Of course did not suit, conse-
quently there was a squabble. What
will be the result?
For the sixth time f. c. Wood
has been appointed special police
by the town council.
A young married woman of Port
Jervis took her life becluse her
husband did not buy her a new
Easter hat,
| Milo Gibbons has been unfortunate
again. He lost another horse.
A new firm has sprung into exis-
tance in town. Paul Ryder has left
the employ Of W. & G. Mitchell and
gone into partnership with Fred
Gumble.
Next time we ask the Editor of
the Press to take a ride we expect
him to be on time.
DR.. H. E. Emerson, after an
absence of FIVE months from town,
is again with us. By his looks his
trip south has agreed with him.
The eclipse on the moon was plain
ly seen here.
Tuesdays storm was leeenly felt
here, too.
Rev. " A. Wood, the new M E.
minister, preached to large congre-
cations last Sunday and made q
good impression. We hear only
; favorable comment on his first
sermons.
Why is it some people can not let
we'll enough alone? It is not so very
long ago when there were any num-
ber of unemployed laborers and
mechanics. Today that is all chang
] ed. There seems to be work for all
bat, as soon as everything goes
5 smoothly some crank finds some-
Q thing not to his or her liking and
then-a strike. How many strikes
] have been ordered where the strik-
ers have gained more than they
would have gained if their griev-
J ances, if they had any, had been
3 left to arbitration. Unions are
3 all rig hit for mutual protection, but
2 it is doubtful if labor will ever be
strong enough to dictate to capital.
There is quite a demand for infor-
nation as to who was the democrat
who let fly in lest weeks PRESS.
Over in Sussex it does not pay to
violate the license law. The viola
ters are most always sure to strike a
snag when their application for
license comes up in court.
w. T. Struble has been busy again
the past week getting more railroad
! ties to market.
o It is not good policy to let your
{ temper get the best of you. It may
= prove to be expensive as well as
e linconvenient.
