1t is reported that one Of our young
ladies will be married this week and we
unite in wishing her all the joy possible
if it is true, and the same thing if it is not
true, as there is nothing mean or selfish
about our makeup.-Wslter Slocum of
Henry's Mills was the guest of friends
here on Saturday evening, and returned
home on Sunday afternoon, riding on his
new bike. Mrs. James Liltlefed
went to Dunkirk, n. Y, on Friday last
accompanied by her children, and would
be joined at Hastings by Mrs. Claude
Litlletield who was bound for the same
port.-Msrisn and Louis Rupert went
to Sheffield on Tuesday of last week to
visit their grandparents and returned
with their mother who went out on Fri
day last shopping.-J. G. Welsh has a
fine driving horse that is beauty, a colt
lately trained by Kribbs, the liveryman
at Kellettville. 1t is not afraid of any
thing that runs the roads which makes it
more valuable. Laurella Wolfe
and Mrs. E. A. Babcock OF Kellettville
are guests of the Welsh family at Ball
town. Jacob Wolfe, their father, is also
making visit at the same place. e.-Sev-
eral of our young girls are looking for
ward TO the time when they can begin
taking lessons in music. We expect
their teacher this week and we hope they
will take an Interest and not slight their
practicing, as this is the road to success,
"A family named Shay have lately
moved to Weller's which will add some
more to the number of school children.
The residents of that place are anxious to
have school nearer than Sheriff but we
do not think it possible. The law fixes
the distance that schools shall be apart.
The Board of Directors generally do all
in their power to make 1t easy for the
young to get an education and we think
our board is one OF the finest ever. So do
the school ma'ams: say, don't they, Char
ley?-Several ofthe Henry's Mill ball
players were here on Sunday last to play
ball, also lot of the Cooper Tract fellows.
On Thursday evening J. G. Welsh
took party of the campers from Logan
to Mayburg for call on the j. G.. Rich.
ards family. The trip was made in
Welshs White Steamer, James III. with.
out any serious mishap. The party con-
sisted of Mr.. and Mrs, J. G.. McMichael
and Neil SHELTON of Sheffield, Mrs. l.. J.
Catlin of Jefferson, Ohio, Miss Nellie
Thurber of Shamburg, n. Y, Mr.. and
Mrs. X. G. Dale, and Mr.. Chas. Griffin, of
Oil City. The evening was spent in a
pleasant VISIT the leading feature being
the talent for music exhibition by Miss
Nellie Thurber, Mrs. Il. G. Dale and Neil
Skelton, who gave several pleasing rem.
ditions on the piano. The only danger
Gus predicament on the whole Journey
was the close call to a collision with an
other machine in the city limits at Nav
burg; but so near, and yet far enough to
escape.-Mr. d. Scalfaro and Miss Lena
Babb of May were at the Rupert
home for short visit on Sunday last -
Last week an old man and old woman
passed through town going toward May
burg looking for job, as they have no
home and have to earn their own way,
We did not learn thesr names but they
we're pretty old looking to be walking so
far. Probably were on their way from
Beer-sheba to DANA party of May
burg young people spent Sunday at Her
NIT spring on Sunday last and had a
lovely time.-There was a large crowd
at the ball.game here on Sunday last and
at one time there was an enormous lot of
people on the foot-bridge at once. One of
our natives had to tell them not to crowd
1t. The people that have no donation in
a thing of this kind are the ones to misuse
1t. The bridge management would like
TO impress on these peoples minds that
only four grown people are supposed to
be on the bridge at one time.-All auto
drivers should go over the small bridge
at Porkey run carefully, as it is very
weak and unsafe. We are much afraid
that some one will get hurt by a flying
plank when they cross it at such high |
speed. Our heart stopped beating last
Sunday when a large machine crossed it |
and most all the planks raised up to more
than foot and settled back.-Next |
week we can tell you about the GLORIOUS
Fourth" and its accidents. Watch for it. !
