Valuable Hens.

Mr.. William Wykoff claims to have
the best flock of hens in Cameron
county-and he certainly has good
grounds for his opinion as the follow
ing true statement will show: Mr..
Wykoff moved his goods from Square
Timber Run to Cameron on Sunday
Among his belongings was his chicken
coop, which he had loaded on car.
His "a chickens were insidethe coop and
no attention was paid to them till the
train reached Stillhouse Junction,
where it stopped to cool a hot journal.
Considerable time was consumed in
cooling the journal and in the mean
time the ladies' in the party began to
feel hungry and some one suggested
there might be an egg in the coop.
Mr.. Wykoff looked in and found six
eggs that had been laid since the train
left Square Timber Run, and five more
hens on the nests. The oil stove was
unpacked and quick lunch was soon
served. The distance travelled was
three mile and the hens laid at the
rate of two eggs per mile, which is a
very good record, considering the
sharp curves and low points to con-
tend with. Mr.. Wykoff intends to pre-
sent one of his hens to General Kuro-
patkin, so he can keep up his strength
while retreating from the Japs.

HALL.

GEORGE HARRISON HALL, aged about
IS years, died in his room over Frank
Shives' store, last Friday morning,
after an illness of two weeks of pneu-
monia.
George came to Emporium in Feb.
1866 from the army, having followed
the troops from the south. At Norfolk,
Va, he tied to Capt. r. M. Overhiser
and cared for his horses. When the
war closed George shouldered his
knapsack and musket and kept with
the Cameron county boys until he
landed here, where he has ever since
been a familiar figure, working for
years for J. l.. Cook and Judge Coch-
ran and the last few years for Mr..
Shives. During his last illness Mr..
Shives and family gave him every at.
tention and ministered to his every
want. Nothing positive is known of
Georges history, but he was evidently
born in slavery, although George in
sisted he was born in Dublin, his
mother being Irish and his father an
Indian. While he was unable to read
or write he was cute enough and took
pride in remembering how to pro.
nounce big words and use them in
their proper place. During all his
years passed here he was trusted by
every employer and never once was
his honesty questioned. Tell George
Harrison not to repeat what was told
to him it was a sealed book. He was
character and everybody had pleas
ant word for him.
Undertaken Egan took charge of his
remains and placed them IN the parlor
over the store, dressed in his G.. A. r
uniform and decorated with his sash
and badges of honor-the latter highly
priced by the deceased during life.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon
at two O'Clock, Rev. J M. Robertson
Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church
officiating. The rooms were we'll filled
with our citizens, large number fol-
lowing him to the grave. Floral offer
ings decorated his casket and potted
ferns were stationed around the room.
His pail bearers were prominent citi.
zens-Capt. r. M. Overhiser, II. L.
Burns, NJ. T. Hogan, NJ. G. Tulis, J.W.
Kriner and A. A. Mcdonald. The
faithful old soul had good christian
burial, thanks to the friends who had
known him for 80 years-Mr. Shives
purchasing the lot in Wiley Cemetery,
and paying for his care during illness,
other friends defraying the undertak-
er's expenses. Peace to his soul.

The Deliverymen Have Their
Saw.

EDITOR PRESS: Being interested in
the treatment of horses, / wish to com
ment on the article in your last issue
signed signed CAN'T Cruelty | am
glad that a number of citizens are as
noticeable of the treatment of horses
as they infer, but | wonder if these
same citizens, when cleaning their
back yards, do not throw old iron,
hoops, glass, papers, etc, into the alley
or street, endangering horses lives.
Will they not see the proper authori
ties in order to stop the automobiles
and motor cycles from racing through
the streets at a terrific rate of speed,
frightening poor dumb horses more
than lash of the whip would do.
Too, might they rot look after livery
horses while interested in Delivery
horses and see that they are not raced
over twenty or thirty miles in short
time, left standing in the cold, mn.
blanketed, driven past watering
troughs or fed when warmed up to Il
high pitch. Surely none of the Can't.
Cruelty" ever do such things (?). AS
too am very much interested in the
welfare of horses and do not wish to
criticize the article above mentioned,
but do believe that it would be better
for the ''CitiZens' to look after such
things than to watch an experienced
horseman make his horses mind, in
order to have them drive up we'll aud
enjoy the appreciation of his employ.

Daisy Gets Ripping,


In recent issue of the PRESS we
noticed letter written by ''Daisy," in
which the management, or the mis-
management, of the schools of this
place, was The subject which called
forth glowing tribute from the gifted
pen of our inspired Daisy. He speaks
of the high rate of taxation. Are the
teachers responsible for the amount
required to RUN the schools? Can he
prove that the directors are not attend
ing to their duties? "Daisy" seems to
think that the teachers receive too
much pay for their work. Why does
he not USE HIS INFLUENCE and perhaps
the salaries MIGHT be reduced.
Daisy also insinuates that the truant
officer is not looking after truants as
he should. Can Daisy, prove the
truth of all that he said? In regards to
the entertainments or 'theatricals," as
daisy" SO lovingly styles them, he
made slight mistake in his count, or
it maybe that he has not the usual
number of fingers on his right hand.
DAISY" should endeavor to keep truth
on his side, in such matters, at least,
for someone, who has nothing else to
do, may dispute his statements The
"a or lareer' class may RUN the school
but the lady in charge has reserved the
the right to offer suggestions and for
some reason her suggestions are imme-
diately acted upon. Strange isn't it?
In every village we are sure to find
one or two persons who are unwilling
to attend to their own affairs and to
this class ''Daisy" evidently belongs.
If he was dissatisfied with the work
done in the schools, why did he not
complain either to the directors or the
teachers? Oh what pity that 'Daisy"
cannot reform the universe In con
clusion, we would advise "Daisy" to
attend to his own affairs. He has not
covered himself with glory nor has he
made any friends by the stand he has
taken. He seems to be standing alone
and his figure is not a pretty one. We
think the directors and teachers are
capable of attending to the schools and
that they require no assistance from
such as Daisy"
