duty to relate the circumstances OF the
most cruel act OF brutality that ever came
to our observation. II was not only an
inhuman crime, but crime against the
law, and we blame the ones interested
very much for not having the nerve or
moral courage to prosecute the offenders.
The facts are like this: Early last week
two Milford horse dealers with a bunch
OF ten old plugs, dealt for an old mare
from a cOlored man here. After pro-
ceeding few rods with her, she fell on
the road and was abandoned and lett to
lie there in the rain and mud 10 founder,
starve, and suffer for about week until
she died. Then the nearest inhabitant
not being willing to breathe the atmos-
phere that surrounded him, removed her
out Of sight of the public. We consider
this a most fitting case for the attention
of Agent Stout or the Attorney General
Another similar case ocsurred last week
when a farmer shot his neighbor's dog
that trespassed on his farm. The hind
quarters we're crippled, and the poor beast
was allowed to crawl around corn field
and suffer for several days before be was
found and dispatched by the owner.
On Friday evening the quiet of our
sober village was broken by the cOntinu-
Ous firing of guns, that reminded Us of
southern town during the Civil War. In
vestigsting the fusillade we found that
the hungry Bohemians that have just
been let loose at the cannery, we're in the
neighboring corn and truck patches, and
the owner. had retaliated with buck shot,
and the intruders we're returning ne fire
with their revolvers We warn these new
invaders that the patience of our farmers
cannot endure such punishment, as their
families must have subsistence as well as
they, and even at the point Of violence
they will protect their crops. Our can
merry is now in full swing, and these peO
pie are making big money and are fully
able to maintain themselves honestly.
Harry Jester is now spinning around
in fine new automobile that he has just
purchased. We understand that several
others are contemplating the purchase of
machines.
DR., Samson had q very bad scare Mon
day when he was out in his machine. His |
car came in collision with log wagon |
and the top was torn from it. Otherwise
nothing serious happened
We are delighted to see our old friend !
and neighbor. James Misty, of Philadel-
phia, among US. About twenty years ago
Jimmie was one Of our best farmers, but
be sold his farm and embarked into city
life. When be looks upon the great i'm
provement in our town and the most phe'
nomenal growth Of the community, be
expresses great sorrow for the folly he
committed in his young days.
We are in receipt of very polite letter
from Mrs. w. H. Smith, of Wilkesbarre,
Pa , requesting US to announce the en-
gagement of her neice, Miss Dorie Stroud,
daughter of Mrs. Frank Getting,of Jeffer-
sons Cross Roads, to Mr.. Philip J. New
land, of Alden, Pa. Miss Stroud is a Wis
itor at Wilkes5arre, and is one of the
most beautiful and popular young ladies
of Slaughter Neck. We admire the wis
dom of our northern neighbOr for bis
wise selection of life partner
The happy and jolly spirit of our old
friend, Captain Kimmy, makes us feel
IL - hin, har, hprak lfHn a !
school boy, while his seventy years weigh
so light on him. We must correct ID. A
c., when he announces that she captain
is only 6S years old, for he is over 20.
From his appearance and activity, we
wonder he is not considered 4S.
The infant son of Harry Wilson, whose ,
life hangs in the balance, is battling the
skill Of the physicians. His is peculiar
disease that seems prevalent
among children,s as four others are suffer
ing in the same strange condition.
Mrs. Mollie Gray has returned home s
after a delightful trip in Pennsylvania !
and New Jersey.
After a severe spell of sickness while {
home, Wilbur Welch has returned to his
business in Philadelphia. !
Many of herIchildren and few invited
guests assembled at the home of Mrs.
Mary Short last week in honor of her
18th birthday. Mrs. Short is bale and
hearty, and looks as if she would enjoy
many more such visits. r
The very unsatisfactory peach season is :
low coming to a close, with nice Craw-
ords bringing from ~ to 38c, and the
buyers growing at that and declaring
Lat they have lost heavily on every ship
nent. The best buyer declares that he
Veuld lose money if the fruit was given }
o him. Now the tomato crop is coming Z
N with rush, and bids fair to be an {
,ther disappointment. PAUL PRY,
