While your reporter, two weeks
ago, in writing up Hustontown,
seemed to cover the ground pret.
ty well, there are a few impor-
tant things that he overlooked.
There are in this town twelve Civ
Il War veterans, and one widow
on the pension rolls of honor, who
together, receive the sum of S20S
per month. This is the money
that runs the business of the
town, there being but one of the
mum ber who is able to put any OF
the money by. Then, in addition
to the pensioners, there are 10
widows, 2 maiden ladies', one old
bachelor, four widowers, some
loafers-young and old, some
church people-who act the part
of christians, and some who can
not tell you where the text was,
but can give you an accurate de-
scriptlon of the clothes that their
neighbors wear; and still others
who step around with their hands
IN their pockets critlcizing those
who labor for an honest living.
This town challenges the re-
cord of any other town of it's size
tor fox hunting. A lew days ago
party of the boys with their
famous fox dogs captured an old
man. my fox and seven pup foxes.
The boys are taking good care of
the collection which has a good
appetite for sparrows and chick
ems.

BARBED WIRE.
Must Not Be Used for Fencing Along Any
Public Highway, Nor for Line Fences.

Owing to the injury to horses
and other live stock resulting
from barbed WIRE fences along
public roads, the legislature has
very wisely placed upon the stat
ute books of this state, laws pro.
hibiLing the use of barbed wire in
fences along public highways, or
in line fences.
a disregard OF the provisions
of this law would make the owner
of the land responsible for any
damage that might come to live
stock on account of such a fence.
La this connection IL may be
stated that wher" on account of
any fence, a public road becomes
impossible on account of snow
drifts, the Supervisors may make
an arrangement with the owner
to have the fence removed and q
wire fence (smooth wlre) erected,
the owner of the proper
ty, a sum not exceeding the first
cost of the wire.

An Industrious Hen.

A more or less truthful Austral-
ian relates that he had put an un-
usually large porcelain egg in the
nest of Il hen and found that the
next eggs she laid were of an IN
creased size. Then he put goose
egg in the nest. The hen land an
egg just as large. He was so
pleased with the scheme that he
put white-washed football in the
nest. When he went the next
time to search for eggs he found
an egg as big as 4 football, but no
hen in sight. Securing the egg,
he saw engraved on it, by hen
photography these words: ''I'm
no ostrich but I've done my best. .
Later he found the hen inside the
egg.

NACE---DICKSON.
Miss Alice Dufiield Dickson Becomes the
Bride of Merrill Whitman Mace, Last
Wednesday Evening.
A FINE RECEPTION AT BRIDES HOME.

At the Presbyterian church
on Wednesday evening last, al
$50 o'clock, occurred the mar
riage of Merrill Whitman Mace
and Miss Alice Du field Dickson,
two of our very popular young
society people.
Mr.. Mace is the youngest son
of ID. b. Mace, a longtime mer-
chant of this place, while Miss
Dickson is the eldest daughter of
w. S. Dickson, druggist, and a
most attractive and brilliant
young lady.
The fact that M. Mace has for
many years been assistant cash
ier of the Fulton County Bank,
and that MISS Dickson is mem
ber of one of the Oldest aud most
Influential families of the county,
made this occasion one of extra
ordinary interest to very large
circle of people.
The ceremony was conducted
by DR.. VIM. A. West, as sisted by
Rev. j. V. Adams. Musical Sc
lectlons from Lchengrin and
Mendelssohn were rendered by
Miss Nell Mace, organist, SIS
ter of the groom.
Other participants in this beau
tlful and impressive ceremony
were, Miss Jess Dickson, a
debutante of last winter, as maid
of honor; Misses Scott Sloan and
Jess Mace, bridesmaids; DR.. Geo.
M. Robinson, of Washington, d.
g., best man; Messrs. j. M.
Hoover, of Cham bersburg, Mark
Dickson, of Buffa 0, Horace u.
Mace, and Daniel j.. Trout, ush-
ers.
The bride, "a creature of the
gods, divinely tai and most di-
.viuely far, wore, With elegant eff
feet, a white gown of point
d'esprit over white satin, and car
ried a sheaf of Brides roses.
The young lady attendants were
becomingly gowned IN dresses of
white net, with suggestion of
pale blue as decorations, and car
RED Lilies of the Valley and white
Carnations.
The church presented an al
most tropical appearance in it's
profusion OF palms and fine pot
ted plants. A series of ever
green arches spanning the mid
die aisle, and under which the
bridal party passed enroute to
the altar, added not a little to the
scenic effect.
The audience was composed
manly of beautiful young girls In
most attractive and modish
gowns, whose faces were radient
with love and good wishes for the
young making a scene
long to be pleasantly remem ber-
ed.
After the ceremony reception
was given at the home of the
bride in which, possibly, two hun
dred persons participated.
Visitors were present from
Chambersburg, Buffalo, Philadel
phia, Shippensburg, and Wash
ington, D. 9.
The gifts were in such mum bers
and OF such quality as would de
light the heart of any bride and
future housekeeper running
through the whole gamutofchlna,
cut glass, silver, linen, and art
furnishings, giving abundant evl-
dence of the good wisaes and gen
crosby bestowed on this young
couple who begin life so auspic-
lously.
After the reception, amid a
shower of rice, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mace started for a short stay at
the seashore and eastern cities.
