Fox Chase
Last Saturday

A foX-hunt of the variety for
which this locality is famous was
enjoyed last Saturday afternoon by
a large number of hunters. The
fox which was fine specimen of
the red variety was caught for Y.
q. Willis, two weeks ago, and it was
planned to hold the hunt on Christ
mas day, but on account of the
snow the date was changed.
While there was not large num-
Der of riders on Saturday, there
was a pack of about forty of the
best hounds in the vicinity.
AS Sly Reynard had been pen
ned up for two weeks he was pre-
pared to give them merry chase.
Several hundred people congre-
gated at the paper mill bridge to
see the sport. The fox was drop
ped at the paper mill bridge
promptly at 1.45. William G. Lit
tie was master of hounds and led in
the chase, which lasted for nearly
two hours and probably covered
twenty miles. Shortly before dark
the fox was holed near the place
that he was dug out of two weeks
ago.
Other hunts will be held in the
near future. The place where the
los dropped proved an ideal

THE GLAD NEW YEAR

We are standing the Threshold we are in the
opened door,
We are treading borderland we have never trod
before;
Another year is opening and another year is gone
We have passed the darkness of the night, we are
in the early morn;
We have left the fields behind us DER which we
scattered seed
We pass into the future which none of us can read
The corn among the Weeds the stones the surface
mold
May yield partial harvest: hope for sixty-fold
Then hasten to fresh labor to thresh and reap, and
SOW,
Then bid the New Year welcome and let the old
year go;
Then gather all your vigor press forward in the fight
And let this be your motto, For God and for the
Right

Pencader Prepared For War

Residents of Pencader have been
busy during the past week clean
ing up muskets, revOlvers, side
arms and other implements Of war.
Shooting the mark and training
dogs have brought about a condi-
ton ready for any emergency call
The equipment here is now in bet
ter shape than at any time since
the horse theiving raid about 10
years ago.
The cause of this preparation is
the appearance of the mysterious
stranger so troublesome in Newark
during the past few weeks.
Thomas Green caught a glimpse
of this character a few nights ago.
He was sitting in the living room
reading when Mrs. Green called at
tention to a noise outside. He ran
to the window to see the character
take to heels and use considerable
energy in getting away. Descrip-
tions and mould of foot prints are
being held for future reference.
The dogs Of Pencader have in
the past done valiant service as
various pieces of pants goods held
Ill local trophy rooms will testify.
"- Unless we miss our guess, anoth-
er prize will be added, if this in
truder persists in his mauderings.
Every man, dog and gun stands in
readiness, so watch out for news,
as Pencader gives no quarter.
