NEW GRENADA.

AL OuuI OuuuiuS udW, Oh mOuuJ
Union, spent couple of days
here last week on business.
Keiferlle and Kearns, musical
instrument dealers IN Lewistown
and Mount Union, were in this
vicinity last week. While driving
IN Taylor township, their buggy
pole broke, and the sharp end of
a piece of the pole ran into one of
the horses, luhicting such serious
injury that they were obliged to
leave the animal at w. S. Gra-
cey's, get pair Of shafts and con
tinue their journey with one horse.
While here, brother Kearns took
a hand IN ball game with the
boys, and using his straw hat for
a back stop, the ball went on and
so did the top of his hat.
DR.. r.. B. Campbell attended
last Sunday, the dedication of
the new 270OO-dollar Presbyter.
IAN church at Mount Union.
Guess his purse was lighter when
he got through with that job-Or
when they got through with him.
The attraction here on the
Fourth seemed to be toward Sal.
tlllo. Those who stayed at home
decorated Bethel, getting ready
for Childrens Day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Davis, of
Robertsdale, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy Ripple, of Mount Union,
visited the family of George
Shafer last Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. John @. Edwards
of Ohio, passed through here last
Thursday going to the home of
Joseph Edwards on the State
Road.
Adam J. Black and G. K. Hor-
TOP, two of Broadtop City's old
sports, visited cur town recently.
j. A. McDonough, Esq, left on
Saturday for Mt. Jewett, Nc
Kean county, Pa, to spend some
time IN the mountains and to
build up his system. Jim is
much better at this tlme-has
an appetite like a steam sawmill
and in spite of the many re-
ports to the contrary, he bids
fair TO be with US many years to
come.
The Children's service Sunday
evening was success in every
way-a full house, and the best
OF order and harmony prevailed.
The children did nicely, and
proved the saying that SIN UNION
there is strength. This world
would be dreary and desolate
without the children.
Since the establishment of the
Rural Free Delivery service from
Three Springs to New Grenada,
and from Hopewell to Wells Tan
merry, our mail service has been
badly crippled IN many ways.
For instance: Gracey postoffice
and Enid postotfice are about five
miles apart as the crow flies.
Mail letter at Enid IN the morn
ing, and that day 1t goes to New
Grenada-about two miles, and
remains in the New Grenada post
office until 3 O'Clock next after
noon, when it is taken to Three
Springs, where it remains until
noon OF the following day; then
1t is conveyed by another of In
Gle Sam 5 carriers to Waterfall,
and placed IN the care of Post
master Wltter, IN whose custody
it remains until the following
day, when it is placed on the Sa-
luvia route, and reaches it's des-
tlnatiOn about noon of the fourth
day out-or 78 hours from the
time Of it's departure from End.
Uncle Sam means TO give the peo
pie service, but the changing Of
routes upon petition without care
full examination of the '1ay of the
land, " often makes matters worse
as is exemplIfied IN this case.
The Salnvia carrier, instead of
resting two hours at Waterfall,
should come up to New Grenada,
bring our County mail, and take
what we have in return. AS 1t is
now, it takes two days to get
letter from here TO the County
Seat-a distance of twenty miles.
