the goods for an interesting agri-
cultural exhibition, the Montrose
fair will undoubtedly be one of the
features of the fall for all time.

ent of the State capitol, who has
just returned from a vacation trip
to the lower reaches of the Sus-

at Rockville down to the mouth of
the "wide-reaching" river of Indian
lore.

-Myron E. Dodge, who five
weeks ago was operated on for ap-
pendicitis by DR.. A. w. Smith of
Scranton and DR.. H. B. Ely, said
Saturday that he feels pretty good
nowadays and can take slow, easy
walks with his cane without getting
tired. About the middle of the
month, Mr.. Dodge thinks, he will be
strong enough to be the clerk of the
Allen house again, but he will have
to confine himself to the desk part
of the job for a time. Manager
Lord will have plenty of porters
within call, for Mr.. Dodge cannot
pick up bags and bundles for a
while yet. The friends of the young
man are glad to greet him on the
street after his serious sickness.
He took it philosophically and in
that way made all the better recov-
cry.
