"A. M. Albaugh, of Whig Hill, sends
us a copy of the Ulster County IN. Y.r
Gazette, which is relic of rare curiosity.
of lO5 years ago. This edition contains
the account of Washington's death snd
burial at Mt. Vernon, Va, and the inside
pages are dressed in mourning over the
sad national calamity. 1t also contains
many quaint advertisements, for sdver-
tising in the newspapers was quite
feature even in those early days. One
man, John Schoonmaker, Jun, offers
"for sale the one half of Saw Milr' in
the town of Rochester. And also "a
stout, healthy, active negro wench." The
paper is made up of four pages, four
columns to the page, and is issued by
Samuel Freer and Son. 1t is valuable
relic, and Mr.. Albaugh prizes 1t highly as
such.
The suggestion that the "Indian god"
rock, located few miles below that
town, and which is so familiar to the
lumbermen of the Allegheny river for
the past hundred years, be brought to
franklin to participate in the centennial
and "old home week" festivities, has
ELECTED endorsement in some quarters.
Which moves the Frank lin correspondent
of the Derrick to remark that "some who
think they can by guess approximate the
'heft of that rock think that it would re-
quire the power of the Indian god and
his whole bunch of braves to hoist it
from its bed and tote it up to Franklin.
1t might be floated here on raft, pro-
vided dam were stopped up and the
river slackwatered from point below
the gods resting place. But the date of
our happy time is rather too close for
carrying out that project in a proper and
workmanlike manner"
The following card, sent out by
Detroit commercial club, is worth read
ing and pasting in your hat: "lf there is
any chance to boom business, boom it.
Don't pull long face and look as though
you had sour stomach. Hold up your
head, smile and look for better things.
Hide your little hammer and try to speak
we'll of others, no matter how small you
know yourself to be. When a stranger
drops in jolly him, tell him it is the
greatest town on earth. Don't discourage
him by speaking i'll of your neighbors.
Lead him to believe that he has at last
struck place where white people live.
Don't knock. Help yourself along by
becoming popular and push your friends
with you. Be good fellow and soon
you will have a procession of followers.
No man ever helped himselfby knocking
other people down in character and busi-
ness. No man ever got rich by trying to
make others believe he was the only man
in town who knew anything, You can't
climb the ladder of success by treading
on other peoples corns.
-Abner Kelly, son of Oliver Kelly of
South Franklin street, whose violent
death of Cleveland, Oklahoma, was re-
ported briefly in the Herald of yesterday
morning, was murdered. The Cleveland |
Triangle of Aug. is contains an account
of the tragedy. 1t states that Kelly was
shot to death by George Simpson as the
result of trouble over Simpsons wife. 1t
is alleged that Kelly and Mrs. Simpson
had been out walking together and that
Simpson awaited their return with %
calibre rifle. He fired at Kelly, striking |
him in the throat. Death was instantan-
eous. The shooting took place at the
boarding house of Mrs. Simpson, mother |
of Kelley's slayer. The Oil City Derrick's
correspondent in the Cleveland field gives
a very different verson of the story. He
states that Simpson was abusing his wife
when Kelly appeared and interfered. He
claims that the shooting was the result of
quarrel which followed. Simpson
stated that he was glad for what he had
done. He made no attempt to escape
Titusyille Herald. The Herald also
states that besides his widow and aged |
parents tho decea sed is survived by sew
eral brothers and sisters, among whom
are Mrs. Eugene Carson and Mrs. Walter
Cooper, of Forest county.
