Near Bridgeville, Dell

Typhoid fever has been unusually prevalent
here this fall, and the last case is that of the
7-year-old son of John NJ. Russell
The liquor question is agitaung our people
greatly, and a case happened last week, where a
son was advocating liquor while the father was
condemning its sale. The father has but the
one living son, and this question has made a
split between them; its the same old story.
The father of Don smith, who teaches at
Messck's school House, has come here from
Pennsylvania, and will reside with his son.
Job Connaway has bought the W. Dayton place
for tl2O0OO 1t is well located for a country
home and he viii probably make many improve
ments.
] One Of the oldest homesteads in Bridgevil'e
( has been purchased by II. p Cannon from Sallie
Parvis. The building is ready to tumble down
at the close of the year Mr.. Cannon is going to
make 1t tumble. He will then build a handsome
home on its site, which will be credit to
Bridgeville.
e. W. Cannon went last week to Jamestown;
his wife was to have companied him but the
illness OF her daughter, Mrs. Lottie Truitt kept
her at home. Mrs Truitt has recently passed
through a surgical operation and is now in
hospital in Philadelphia with typhoid fever
Miss Lizzie Hellens, of Philadelphia has pur-
chased the Poole property at Pennington, and
her mother, Mrs. Mary Heens who is an elderly
widow living between Chaplins Chapel ard

eupy it as a home
The revival service at Oakley Church, under
the charge of Rev. Dryden Of Greenwood, is in

Building new school house for this district
has been postponed until another year, butneyer
was a school house needed as we need a larger
and better building for our children right now,
and the folks have come 10 realize it now, and
they find out also, that they must build a school
building right away; so, this week every wheel
has been turned in that direction. Superintendent
Brooks has well said, that the leaders should
look ahead before building, and put up school
buildings sufficiently large and comfortable for
few years growth. Our present school building
has not been butt long, and had few more
lQllars been put into it then. the present outlay
would not have to be made now. Brooks has
some sense anyway; especially about ordering
ch0Ol DOCKS, etc, as ne stated IN laSt We-4.4
-hronicle. / believe that the majority Of teachers
,rder books and think they have ordered jus,
What was needed; but At the same time other
looks of useful service, and ON the book list are
aid aside. think that it would be better for the
superintendent to approve all school book
rders from any district after ha,i4g gone over 5
he srock i'm the school IT. would come nearer
and be to the districts
Miss Dclma ~ daughter OF Mrs
manda ick, r,or gh the batt'e and won
he victory for aitendan at Sunday School for \
fty-one sundays the other having no service,
ut she went to sand Hill Camp, where she at
ended. She has not received the reward as yet, 7
NJ the record was completed last sunday, while
hers are wearing their buttous Of honor, none
as come her wav as yet. Delma is the first ever
nOwn to attend this Sunday School for a whole 4
ear in succession, so it would look a little mean
deny reward to such scholar. We believe
lat she has earned it, and that the officers will
tier thinking the matter over honor her dill
ence by presenting her with the emblem OF
lithful attendance. 4
