Lawrence Smith, John Hess, Ed. Beldin,
Young Squire Shafer and Lon Logue
and then comes Mack and we reckon he's
been the steadiest of them all o. X.
Dad Brobst who everybody don't know
maybe has been seen on our streets hust-
lin lately back and forth gettin' his
Props all cut and in on bis Contract with
Kate Wykoff which is up soon. Things
looked pretty blue for Dad for awhile
back on account of him not bein able to
get EN- off in time but just when it was
lookin' the bluest for Dad who should
step in but Our Enterprising' Citizen o.
S. Bailey and put his shoulder to the
wheel with his 2 team and now the piIin'
ground is well nigh taken up betwixt
the p. r. r., and Nathan's store, o. X.
There's goin' to be right smart doins
here on Washington's birthday in the
evening at the Town Hall when the p.
o. S. Of A., Ladies will give a Colonial
Supper includin' Roast beef, Stewed
Chickin, Baked Potatoes Il ETC., also Ice
Cream, Cake and Coffee will be served.
All our Patriotic Citizens ought to turn
out as usual and give the ladies a lift as
there is always heap of other fun con-
nected with these gatherins viz, hearin'
the G. Band play, seein' the cake walk
ed off by the Y. NJ. & Y. L.; and seein'
who gets the Silver Set chanced off this
time.
- When [ was ridin down the Fork one
day last week behind Little Dick Crum's
team on his bob sleds | couldent help
thinkin' how the stealin' hand ov time
has changed things in cur little village
and joggin down the long hill by the
Red Bridge my mind couldent help re-
verten back to once before when | rode
down with Wash Bailey behint his yoke
of oxen and we tied up at the blacksmith
shop at the foot Of the hill and chatted a
lying spell with Josiah Fink and as Dick
and | cut the corner | thought Joe NJ.
would not be standing on the porch with
his welcome for every nor G. A. at the
store with his cane and his dog with 'em
maybe and as we drove on up | couldn't
help thinkin how the hand of civilization
had tore Squire's farm assundcr and drove
him like the lone Indian further into the
west When we reached the bridge
where | met the sleigh load that night |
lett and hobbled home to other re-
fections.
We have powerful lot of brave men
in our midst 0. X, when last week some
of them was workin for Arthur Barclay
up Ellicks Run gettiu logs out they freed
an old bear and four cubs in cave in
the rocks. While they were shuftlin
around to draw cuts to see who would 90
in, Newell Bushore crawed right in and
chased the old one out and got the four
cubs. Then they drawed cuts agin to
see who would fall heir to the cubs.
Tanner Losey got two, Jim Fiskus got
one and Newall got one. Fiskuscs frozo,
Troner fed hisn too much becaused it
whined and it puffed up and died. New
all has his alive yet.
Pap Blodgett who we mentioned in the
columns of these papers once before is
of our most respected citizens. he and his
estimable wife are liked by exery ore.
When we wrote the piece about Pap we
reckohed he'd crack his sides laughin
over it and understand it the same as we
intended.
The compassionless current which
speeds its message of gladness to some
and its message of sadness to others,
broke its sad one to our community,
Monday afternoon, when it told of the
death in Philadelphia of one of our boys,
David Fulton Dave, as we were wont
to call him, grew to manhood in our
midst, and his many warm friends here
cherished the hope that in his long bat
tie with the grim messenger he would
finally win, but it was not to be. Rather
let us believe that he did win even in
death and that his closing eyes caught
visions of sweet fields beyond. He will
be remembered as man who tried to do
his duty well, one who was held in high
esteem by his employers and known all
along the p. & Il. as one of the best
Passenger Conductors in the service.
