trict.-The ladies' Aid Society of Fairview NJ
e. Church South will hold .ssock sociap' in
Wesley's Hall. Sunnybrook, on Wednesday
evening next, February ed. Miniature socks

the number of pennies to represent the size OF
the hose the person wears. Those who have
not previously received the small socks will be
supplied with them at the door. Coffee and

Mr.. and Mrs. Gemmill, of Stewartstown, Pa,
are visiting their daughter, Mrs. Nelson Nc
Chung, near Sunny brook.
Rev. James w. Campbell, pastor of Chest.
nut Grove. Church, who, with bis wife and
son. have been spending some time in Penn
sylvania, have not yet returned.
Ebert Smith, Wilton McClung and Frederick
Treut met with serious accident last Tuesday.
They were coasting when by some means they
were thrown from the sled with great force,
the two first named sustaining injuries that
have since confined them to their homes.
Fortunately no bones were broken. The boys
often take great risks when indulging in the
sport of coasting which is often very danger
and the obstacles that are often in the way.
Miss Jennie Jessop, of Sweet Air, is confined
to her home with rheumatism.
Mrs. James Jackson, of Jacksonville, is visit
ing relatives and friends in Baltimore.
Miss Clara Owens, of Sunnybrook, has re-
turned from visit to Baltimore.
This is an exceedingly dull season with the
farmers and there is very little for them to do.
They are anxiously waiting for the time when
the snow shall disappear and the earth once
more be in condition to be titled.
The condition of the roads of late has placed
an embargo upon travel by automobile and
none of the machines are ever seen now. The
general verdict seems to be that autos are much
more pleasant to ride in than they are to
look at.
Owing to the condition of the roads and the
Indictment weather no G. E. meeting was held
at Chestnut Grove last Sunday night. The
meeting will be held as usual next Sunday
night and the attendance should be large.
Ayoung man ofthis community, who travels
about great deal, has had built for his own
use sleigh that never fails to attract attention
1t sits very high from the ground in order to
keep out the snow, and has top on it so that
the elements will not interfere with the drivers
comfort. The owner attracts a good deal of
attention as he speeds along, and he is evident
ly taking excellent care of himself, (Which is
all right) but he don't seem to care to have
any other person share the comforts and pleas
ures of his new tangled vehicle, as he always
travels by himself M.
Fork, 18th District.-Practically all the
important roads in this section are now open.
The task was tremendous one, however, and
had it not been for the aid of enterprising
farmers we would still be shut off from out
side communication to large extent Our
neighbor, Mr.. George w. Yellott, has been doing
bis best to accommodate the people in different
sections, although the road fund for the
district has been heavily drawn upon during
the year. We can appreciate Mr.. Yellott's
position. 1t is hard to please every body on
this question of removing snow. Some indus
trious farmers claim that it is useless expen-
diture of money on the county's part and ten
der their services in opening the roads when
the cooperation of others has been secured.
On the other hand there are many people in
other occupations who are not so well equipped
for removing snow and they vigorously de-
mand that it should be done by the county.
1t is undoubtedly the duty of the county au-
thorities to open the roads, yet in the end the
expense must come out of the road fund for
the district. However, we are enjoying the
sleighing now and we can't afford to be pessi-
mistic. We take things as they come and
make the best of them.
Prof. VIM. James Heaps, principal of Mil
ton Academy, Baltimore, will entertain Fork
Camp, p. o. 8. of A., at its monthly public
meeting in Shirley Hall, next Saturday night,

full talker and this is said to be one of his hap
