Samuel s. Waaver. has dlsnosed nfhis

burg to Golinza. The purchaser was
Miller Gilfillan of Tylersburg. Mr.
Weaver is undecided as to where he will
locate, and may take a notion to try the
Pacific coast states.

two mills at work on their timber tract

the upper end of the tract, near Charles

saving. The other mill is located on the

soon be ready to start saving.

Flowers farm on Peters run and is EN-.
ployed on the Coleman Il Watson rail-
road, had his right ankle quite badly
crushed between car and tie when he
fell from the car Saturday. He was

President TAFT has signed the bill in-
troduced by Congressman Speer granting
a pension TO Rev. Benjamin f. Felt of
this place amounting to $50 per month.
A very worthy act. Mr.. Speer is fortu-
nate in having favorable consideration
by the Senate and House of eleven other
similar bills for pensions to veterans in
his district and which will now go to the
President for his approval.
Ralph Cook left with us a curiosity,
or monstrosity, in the shape of chick
with four perfectly formed legs which
one Of his hens hatched out the other day.
Freaks of this sort are not common and
usually excite considerable curiosity.
But if some fellow could hit upon a way
to produce double breasted chickens in
these piping times of high priced meat,
that would be something worth while,
and he could soon pull out of the game
with a comfortable wad in the bank.
EARLY indications are that the 1912
grape crop in the Chautauqus belt will
be thousands of tons smaller than last
years crop. This is due to the severe
winter, followed By frequent rains this
spring. The worst winter injury resulted
in lowlaying vineyards. The annual
killing of tho lakeshore grape and Della
ware peach crops occurs about this time
of the year, old Publications. being re-
sponsibe for the murder. usually. But
later in the summer the crop almost in
variably turns up all right.

Sundays fine weather and bracing
air brought out many automobiles from
far and pear, and it is doubtful whether a
greater number ever passed through this
place on single day. The roads,
generally speaking, are now in fine con-
dition, although from the appearance Of
some of the pleasure riders it is evident
there is some dust or some of the autoists
must have come long distance as many
of the outfits were practically smothered
in dust. An occasional rain shower
would help this sort of going as well as
the gardens and farm crops.

1.-THE way to keep ahead of the meat
trust is to quit eating meat" says the AL
toona Tribune. But meat is such a con-
venient and palatable form of nonrish
ment that we cannot well exist without 1t.
A better way is for farmers to farm, use
silo, raise blooded cattle and sell to the
local meat men.-Punxy Spirit. Good
advice, that, but we've better way: Let
all the women folk desert the Kitchen and
put the old he editor on the job for a
week. He'll have meat three times q
day because it's the only thing he knows
how to cook, and at the end of the vaca-
tion he will be- so surfeited with the stew
that the angelic wife will not be per-
mitted to bring meat into the house for a
month.
