out of New Plymouth, and was
not only pleased with the 81
names, accompanied with the
cash, but formed new acquaint.
ances, and very agreeable ones al
that.
Instead of going direct to New
Plymouth ] stopped off at Starr,
the first station this side, follow
ing the route as the carrier goes,
and stopping where ] began.
The first new acquaintance !
met was w. G.. Flowers, ticket
agent, freight agent and general
representative Of the office. Mr..
Flowers is one of the railroad 3
most dependable and useful agents,
an agreeable, accommodating
servant, careful, honest attentive,
and is highly respected by the
neighbors round. Near the sta
tion Mr.. Flowers has general
store, expressly conducted for the
farmers and neighbors nearby.
He has complete country store,
having just exactly what the peo.
pie want. He has fine cash
trade besides large produce sup
port. Everything is kept in tip
top style, his clerk, young, active,
clean and accommodating. Mr..
Flowers not only took the time to
give me much desired information,
but it seemed a pleasure for him
to do so. He has not only the
thanks but best wishes of the
DEMOCRAT SENTINEL for a deserved
success.
The first person l added to the
list was an old time SENTINEL sub
scriber, Mr.. John C. Henderson,
who / have known for more than
two score years. We had con-
siderable of an old-time gabfest,
which we both enjoyed, Neither
had any to much time to spend 80
we wished each other we'll and |
travelled on.
b. F. Morse, farmer, gardner
and huxter, known to many of
your readers, was the second man
to give me encouragement. He
not only took the paper but the
insurance as well. He took the
time to give me a few beneficial
pointers, which / took advantage
of and am under many obligations
for. / had the pleasure of meet
ing Mrs. James Rafferty,, G. r.
Woodland and B. W. Morse, of CO.
lumbus, who were the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Morse. Mrs.
Raffertv's husband, James Raj
ferty, ls we'll and favorably
known to many of your Logan
citizens as one of the Hooking
Valleys most popular railroad
men. At present he is the very
efficient foreman of the Round
House, at Columbus.
After leaving Mr.. Morse's l
continued with the route until l
got as far along as Frank Sowers',
who, as a matter of course, took
advantage of the only real genuine
newspaper bargain ever offered.
He was more than willing to part
with his So. so for what | offered
in return. He gave me directions
how to kill two birds with one
stone, and / killed them. l start
ed up the hollow over the old rail
road bed, up over the hill to right,
as he advised, passing by and Sc
curing several new Subscribers, in
the circle | made, getting to Starr
lust in time to catch the evening
train to Logan.
In going over the ridge and
around the circle | made many
new and pleasant acquaintances,
one of the most pleasant was Mrs.
Mary E. Cruise, mother of Engi-
neer John Cruise of your city. In
going up the lane to the house |
saw little four-year. old hacking
at an old stump with hoe. He
was "working awful hard" but
happened to look up and see me.
He dropped the hoe and let out a
yell or two that would cause Amos
Dunkle, in his palmlest days, turn
pale with envy, and broke for the
house. / called to him and he
stopped. ! asked him if he was
afraid of me.
"Yes, am. You're Old Bob
Scott" And with another yell or
