CHRONICLE OF HAPPENINGS AMONGST
OUR NEIGHBORS.
ELDERSBURG.

Edward Ruch, young man about
10 years old, met with a painful and
serious accident Monday the 9Th in
slant. He climbed up the elevator to
unchoke something about the machin-
cry of the cider press. The wheel
was revolving more than 200 revolu-
tons to the minute, and in some way
his coat was caught and every shred
of clothing was torn from his body.
DIR. NJ D. Norris was summoned and
made him as comfortable as possible.
Wednesday morning he was conveyed
on a cot to a hospital in Baltimore,
where an operation was performed.
.. r.. Herbert Devries is improving
daily from his recent illness of ty-
phoid pneumonia, is able to sit up
little while each day, but is quite
weak yet. His numerous friends will
be SO glad to welcome him in their
midst again.
d. Roby Herring is growing weaker
and is now confined to his bed from
the dread disease. the white plague,
but a great consolation to his family
is that whenever the summons comes
he is ready, for he has lived chris
tian life, at home and abroad, and al
ways had some helpful advice for any
that were in trouble.
Our farmers have finished seeding
and are now busy husking corn and
getting it housed ere too much frost
and hoary old winter with the screech-
ing, whistling winds sweep the fields
and play havoc with the hands of the
huskers.
The chestnut crop was both early
and bounteous, and if the old adage
prove true, we are to have a long
and severe winter.
Rev. J. R. Hupman is kept busy Wis
iting the sick, and conducting his re-
vivaI services at the different appoint
ments. Last Sunday morning he gave
an excellent and instructive talk to
Freedom Sunday school, and his ser
mon at II a. m. was fine. Let us have
more of them, brother; they help
tighten the dark paths, and make the
rough places in life seem smooth.

A friend inquiries how he can exter-
inmate patch Of quack grass that
has gained foothold in his lawn, the
patch being about by 10 feet. In a
case Of this kind the best as well as
the most effective method to follow
would be to cover the patch with tar
paper, covering the outer edges with
dirt as well as the edge where the two
pieces Of paper Tapped. Six or eight
weeks of this kind of dose will put
the quack grass, root and branch, out
Of business.
