Call on VIM. Logue for anything you
want in the grocery line. He has every
thing from a Welsh rabbit to barrel of
salt pork:
John f. Carson has returned from
Cambria county where be has been en-
| ployed pealing bark. John says the
mountains are so steep that they have
to use telegraph pole climbers to get up
them, but they can easily slide down.
The only trouble is that shoe leather costs
more down there and eats up the profits
He says old Cameron county is good
enough for him.
The Huntley Athletic Club held their
regular weekly smoker at the hall Thurs
day evening. One three round affair be-
tween Alfred Smith, of Sterling Run, and
Harry Teats of the East End was pulled
off. Referee Parks stopped the bout in
the second round and awarded the deci-
sion to Mr.. Smith As Teats was nearly
out, and the laws of Huntley Bor-
ough do not allow finish contests There
has been bad feelings between the two
men for some time caused by Mr.. Teats
| drawing some cartoon pictures which were
very dispeasing to Mr. Smith as to he
took this course in showing Mr.. Teats
were to unload. Referee Parks will
referee bout Saturday evening at Rich
Valley for the Social Club at that place.
Evert Barr, of Sterling Run, was a
pleasant caller at the mill on Monday
Evert has just finished hoeing ten acres
; of potatoes and saye he did the job in
three days, but wore out twelve hoes
while he was at the job Evert says he
has given up life and hereafter will devote
his time to tilling the soil. The boys
asked Evert for song and he sang the
! following selection in his rich tenor voice
accompanied by Squire Smiths phono-
gragh, viz:
| have served my time upon the rail with brake
club, scoop and pick,
The way flew down old Kane hill would make
you fairly SICK
In wind and storm I've trod the decks of many
tonnage trains,
But never more will be seen upon the rail again.
! have opened up the throttle on many an iron
steed,
And sixty miles per hour was nothing to my
speed
The people looked and wande red while holding
to their hats,
The crew hung on with bated breath while l
ratified up their Stats.
But now it is the farm for me. l love to hold
the plow,
And listen in the evening to the bleating of the
cows
Potato fields enchant me, likewise the waving
corn.
But sweeter still the welcome sound of the good
old dinner horn
You can have you tracks and engires, your
signals and your blocks,
But to my mind they cannot beat pasture full
of stock,
So good bye to the book of Rules from bosses l
am free,
am happp now the whole day through,a
farmers life for me.
P.S.-Evert is always welcome when
he comes to Huntley.
