S. NJ. Yoder, a farmer residing near

mishap, Tuesday. He was preparing
to hive swarm Of bees, and while
standing directly under limb of a
tree on which the bees had settled,
the limb broke, landing the bees all
over Mr.. Yoder's head and neck. The
bees began to sting, and before Mr.
Ioder could get rid of them, he was
stung over hundred times. The
poison from the stings made him
deathly sick, but DR.. E. H. Perry was
promptly sent for, and at last report

Because a girl has not married
young, and is approaching the age
where, if single, she will be put into
the old maid" class, is no proof that
she is not good and nice, but rather Is
an evidence that she knows her own
worth; that she has good sense and a
proper appreciation of life, and will
no hitch up with Just anyaody
who might propose. We have few
such in our vicinity, and they are jew
els, worth their weight in gold. In
this local. ty as elsewhere, the best
are not the easiest obtained, but lucky
is the worthy young man who is ac-
cepted.
Annapolis no longer an Indian vii
lage: Since John Fisher, official ex-
terminator of uncalled-for and I'M
owned dogs. started in little over
a month ago, many of the CANNES
have crossed the great divide and are
now inhabiting the dog star. Many
large spots have been discovered dur
ing the past few days by astronomers
who happened to be looking toward
that particular star. Fisher has al
ready executed sc dogs, and more are
to be heard from. He has received
many compliments with reference to
the manner in which he has gathered
in stray dogs, and many residents can
now sleep comfortably during the
summer, whereas in years gone by
the howlings of countless mongrels
gave indication that the city was an
Indian village Capital.
