was as follows:
Going Some."


Last Saturday afternoon a par.
ty of SIX men arrived here from
Plttsburg in an automobile called
the "Hhomas Flyer" 1910 model.
They had chosen a trip across
the mountains to see how much
the thing would stand. While
stopping at j. X. Johnston's for
gasoline, Mr.. Johnston remarked
that Jake Murdock had Pack.
ard that could go some-that last
July a year, Jake had driven his
car from McConneIlsburg across
the Tuscarora mountain to Fort
Loudon In 27 minutes, and Mr..
Walden drove the same car back
to McConnellsburg In 23 minutes
making the round trip In so
minutes. "When it is consider
ed," Mr.. Johnston continued,
"that the distance between Nc
Connellsburg and Fort Loudon is
eight miles, and that every inch
of the 81 miles from McConpells.
burg to the top of Tuscarora
mountain, lying at an altitude of
1900 feet above McConnellsburg,
Is uphill, and that every inch of
the Al miles, the distance from
the top of the mountain to Fort
Loudou, is down-hlll, and a good
healthy breaker at intervals of a
few yards, on the entire road, the
Packard's time has been regard
ed as marvellous, and no one has
ever thought 1t worth while to at
tempt to break the record"
The six men In the Thomas
flyer gave respectful attention
while Mr.. Johnston recited the
foregoing facts, and when he had
concluded with an air of "that
settles IT., one of the Plttsburg-
ers said;
"Boys, suppose we hit that
mountain before we 60 back"
"All right. +"
They all piled In, the driver
pulled the thr. title WIDE open and
away they went. Just twenty
minutes later, they were In Fort
Loudon. Spending a few mo.
ments IN seeing that everything
was right about the machine,
which seemed eager to continue
the run, they headed for McCon-
nellsburg, and in twenty minutes
more, they pulled up IN front OF
Johnston's place in Fulton coun-
ty's capital.

forenoon when we reached the
camp ground, and the sound of
the bugle was soon heard calling
the boys to dinner. 1t was quite
novelty tor NE to dine with that
army of braves. AS we surveyed
those tents it was easily seen that
they were of uniform size; made
of the same material; and just
large enough for two, minus their
feet.
They could be deslgns ted only
by numbering. But there was
one of them that seemed so
much nearer and dearer
than all the rest. And well it
should be, for it sheltered dear
brother who had gwen up home,
and society for FOUR years and of.
fered his life, it necessary, for
the sake of his country; and who
had taken the promise to be loyal
to Uncle Sam until he would be
dismissed with an honorable dis.
charge, or die for the stars and
stripes, which is the EN- blem of
freedom and the greatest nation
on earth.
Seldom do we realize, when we
retire, where and IN what our

death of DeForest o. Gibson, and
not having at hand the necessary
data for an intelligent wrlte-up,
we gladly publish the following
sketch:
DeForest Oranzo Gibson, son
of John W. and Blanche Bivens
Gibson, of Wells Tannery, died
in st. Francis hospital, Pitts

tober 90, 1909, of typhoid fever,

who had gone to the bedside of
the young man several days pre-
vlous to his death, the remains
reached the home of his parents
on Sunday, October Oath. The
funeral was held the following
Tuesday, services being IN the
Wells Valley M. E church, and
were conducted by Rev. Vance,
of the U. B. church, Three
Springs.
He was a member of Wells Cas-
tie, Knights of the Golden Eagle,
who took part In the burial SER
vice, assisted by Eagles from
Breezewood, Langdondale and
Saxton. HIS six uncles, James,
Thomas, and George Gibson, and
Maurice, Hays, and Clyde Blvens
acted as pail bearers. lnterment

survived by his father and moth.
er, two brothers and one sister,
viz; Rody, Bernard, and Miss
Zola, all at home.
DeForest was born and reared
in Wells Valley, and was a most
promising and popular young
man. He graduated with honor
from the Wells Township High
School, with the class of '06, and
took postgraduate course in
the same school during the ensu.
ing year. He attended the Nc
Connellsburg Normal school one
term IN the summer of 1907.
In his graduation address from
the High School, his theme was
"Higher Ideals" the sentiment
of which seemed to permeate his
whole beng. and made his in
tluence an uplift to every one with
whom he came IN contact. After
a close canvass of the various pur
suits of life, he was impressed
with the thought that in no other
way could he be more useful to
his fellow mortals than glvlng his
llfe's best efforts to the study and
practice of medicine. Carrying
forward this idea, he had already
completed arrangements to enter
the Western University of ALE.

From the Tri-State he was sold into the Southern league, playing with the Birmingham team. Last sea son he led the Southern league in base stealing and had an average of .2S0 in batting.
