ploymeut has been continuous all these
years, without break, and without ever
a word of complaint from the company or
a disagreement of any sort. A record of
which both employer and employed may
be proud.
VIM. II. Hall OF Eudeavor has been
out horse buying again. He has been
with the Wheeler & Dusenbury firm so
long that "the memory of man runnelh
not to the contrary" and whenever they
stand in need of new team of horses
they simply drop hint to "Billy" and he
does the trick. This time he found what
he wanted down near Salem in Venango
county, and he took the pair through
town yesterday. They are 4-yesr-oIds,
weigh 5000, dapple grey, and sleek as
moles. When Billy picks out q team of
horses they are picked right. There are
no blemishes on the ,quines nor flies on
Billy. when he sizes 'em up.

Capt. Geo. Stow Post. No. 274, was held
Dec. 5, 1911. The officers generally were
present. There was good attendance Of
members of the Post, showing renewed
interest as the numbers are growing less
and making closer bond of fraternity as
time moves on. General orders con-
cerning the installation of officers were
read and it was concluded to hold as
heretofore joint installation along with
the W. X c., No. 1877, and the following
