Hazefton items.

Mrs. Nettle Cox has been quite
sick for the past few days but DR..
Burnett is getting her back to her
usual health again.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. Simpson ex-
pect 10 leave the first of the COM
ing week for an extended visit with
their daughter who resides in Chi
cago.
Haskell Knorp, son of ]. L., is
still a very sick boy but is now
thought to be improving some. He
has had quite a long spell of ty-
phoid fever.
H. M. While has been adding
few more rooms to his house in the
north part of town. He had a
pretty good one before and will
now rank among the best in town.
&C Afford is having a new
roof put on his house and a new
stable built on his farm two miles
west of town. Ed Webb is bossing
the job which insures a good one.
The past week has been an ideal
one for late sown wheat and we do
not remember of ever seeing a fall
more favorable for crops. Gener-
ally, the late rains have been just
right for late wheat.
B. L. Drake had the misfortune
to lose a couple of horses a few
days ago by their getting an over
dose of corn but, we have been in
formed, one was very old one and
the other cripple which if true,
makes his loss that much easier to
bear.
Under the skillful treatment of
DR.. Burnett Miss Minnie Horton,
Mrs. ]. V. Patterson and little son,
Ralph, Mr.. Wainscott's son and one
of the George girls are all now
thought to be out of all danger
from their seige with the typhoid
fever.
The last weeks Index made us
say we had only been clerk of Haz-
elton camp four years when in fact
it was fourteen years and then
some. Don't know how we wrote
it, but one thing sure democrat
seldom resigns an Office in four
years.
Mrs. Moon of Fl. Worth, Texas,
but one of the first settlers in this
part of Barber, was here few days
last week visiting old friends. 1t
was her husband and little son
who were killed several years ago
by the Hazelton creamery separat-
or blowing up. 1t at the same
time killed a Mr.. Clark, the mana
ger.
0. H. Dunbar got home last week
after spending several weeks visit
ing relatives and friends in Ken
lucky and Illinois and from his
general appearance he was where
they kept him on full feed. Any.
way he is looking fine and it is
needless to say that he was glad to
get back to his old home.
We were awful sorry to read that
the Kansas City Post has read w
]. Bryan clear out of the democratic
party. This is going to be real
hard on the party unless they can
find someone that will measure ul
to the Posts standard for if il
hadn't been for the Post just as like
as not the democrats would have
gone a head and nominated Bryan
and had him defeated for, not be.
ing made to fit the Post.
1t sounds kind of good to reao
the papers these days. They al
say the money furry is over anc
that everything is going to be all
right almost Immediately. Yet, we
notice the price of fat hogs is still
on the toboggan and all othel
kinds of stock as for that matter
and thousands of men are being
thrown out of work just at the be
ginning of winter, and many that
still have a job are having the
price cut from IS to so per cent
and if it wasn't for what we read
we would by this time begin to
think that there was something Of
a serious nature wrong with the
money matters.
Will pay the very best price pos.
sible for hogs. Am here to stay
H. w. Skinner.
want your fat hogs.-H. W
