DEER PARK JOTTINGS,

! WIN. r.. GEORGE, are both quite feeble
AT this writing the latter is very i'll,
so much so that all her family have
been called to herbedside, viz: Messrs.
Theopholis, A. Frederick, Charles,
and Mrs. John L. Fitzwater, their
only daughter. Mrs. George is eighty
two years old and has suffered with
asthma for many years. Her atten-
ding physician has but little hope of
her recovery.
We are also sorry to report the very
critical illness of Pauline, the bright
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W. c..
Jones, but at this writing her atten-
ding physicians, Drs. Linlnger and
McComas, have hopes of her recovery.
She is the idol of her mother and
father, and intelligent beyond her
years. We do hope for the sake of
| the devoted parents and her absent
brother that her life may be spared
The explosion of No. 1000 engine at
Mt. Lake Park on Sabbath last was
visited by quite number of our citi
zens who went up to see the horrible
work that steam can do. Our good
friend, Mr.. VIM. W. Hennen. was well
acquainted with the dead and maim-
ed of this awful explosion and their
family aud friends have this whole
souled engineers heartfelt sympathy
Our citizens have been quite busy
filling their ice houses the past week
and say the ice is fine We feel assur-
ed that the many who come to this
popular summer resort will be kept
cool when they again come to our
mountain top.
Kew. Percy W. Metheney common
ced series of meetings in his church
Sabbath last. Although the weather
is stormy and rough his meetings are
we'll attended This young minister
lmpresses our people of all churches
as being devout and sincere chris
tan. We wish him a gracious out
pouring of the Holy Spirit for the up
building of his Masters cause.
Rev. Mr.. Faust is also conducting
revival service of his church at Ell
der Hill, this county, some "a miles
north of this place. If his meetings
are as productive of good as they
were here we shall rejoice also with
this Young brother.
We noticed in your last issue that
the counci! of the Ev. Lutheran
church had sold their church lot in
the burned district of your city to
your enterprising baker. We are
glad that another prominent corner
OF Oakland is not monopolized by a
saloon as is the case of the many old
business stands of years ago
A visit to the widow of the late
Cyrus H. Shreve this afternoon finds
ner much improved in health, but
her daughter Mrs. George P. Marley,
is still quite i'll. The doctor of our
town thinks she is out of danger.
Our sympathy goes out TO this much
afflicted family, who have been so
recently bereft of a DEVOTED husband
and father.
Good kind hearted Boss" Hine-
baugh came to town to-day with his
team and hauled out load of sup
plies to the two old women that were

and their hearts were made glad by
donations from kind Mrs. Lashorn,
Mrs. Haulenbeck, VIM. w. Thrasher,
David Brashears, Walter Bros, Mrs.
John W. Williams, George Marley,
and others. May Heayen's richest
blessings be theirs for feeding and
caring for these poor human beings
who can't have long to suffer in this
world for they are nearing and past
the four-score mark.
