gard to the condition of the state road that
follows the creek to Sheffield. This road
was a fine route when the township had
charge and it seems bad TO see things go
to ruin so soon. There is a great amount
of loose stones which ale a menace to the
safety of the motorists that travel this
way but they don't seem to realize 1t as
they are all speed crazy and sooner or
later will meet with a bad accident and
we natives will be forced to see their
mangled remains or assist in picking up
The remains of come poor unfortunate
who trusted their life on the hands of the
driver. There are stones sticking out OF
the road ed in several places that make
1t rough riding for rig or car. Near Blue
Jay there is a fish pond between the
tracks and only a narrow pass for bicycles
in the centre. These are not imaginary
things but will be verified by any citizen
or those using the road who will not lie
A girl presents a very ladylike appear
auce while riding OF a motorcycle behind
a fellows back astride the machine. We
disapprove OF this practice as 1t Is not
only unlsdy-lfke but is a menace to the
lsdy's health. Ask your physician II you
do not believe me.
The choir mel at Minister on Wednes-
day evening and prscticed singing for an
hour which is a good thing for the Sun
day services at the church and will be
helpful to the young people who wish to
learn to sing. This was the second meet
ing OF this kind held at this place.
There was a fine dance given at FOOLS
Creek on Saturday evening, which was
better attended than the church service
on Sunday at Minister church. This
shows what is the most interesting thing
around this part of the country. Some of
our young people attended the dance and
report a good time with refreshments to
keep the dancing strength up.
At preaching service at Minister on
Sunday morning there were only five
present for the congregation, but the ser
mon was all right and some OF the people
do not know what they missed by being
absent. The service al Porkey on Satur-
day night was well attended and very in
teresting. This service will be continued
every two weeks until school begins and
If permission can be obtained from the
authorities we will keep II going all
winter.
Misses Lottie and Bessie Littlefield at
tended the dance at Russell City Friday
evening, going with Purcy Jordon, and
report a very good time.
Last week our friend l.. r. Brennan
purchased a piano and it proves up with
the other piano in the neighborhood. We
find no fault in it and rejoice with the
family, as a home without music Is dead.
No one OF the family plays but the pos
sibilities are that they will soon have a
player, as the boy has talent that Is yet
u~ndeveloped.
Some of our people are going to attend
the watson Boys reunion at Marien-
willie next Thursday, no preventing
Providence. This is an ideal place to
have a good time and especially on an oc.
casion of this kind.
