'"' Noi VI uuo A4OuBI MISS mhFBu0r-
ite Haslet and Miss Elsie Wolcott attend
ed annual picnic of the Central" girls
OF the Redbank Telephone Company,
which was held in Truman's grove in
Sigel, Pa, last Wednesday. They made
the trip In W. Ii. Hoods car and report
a very pleasant time. Over so guests
were present, including the line men and
their wives and some of the directors. A
ball game between Sigel and Coal Glen
was one of the attractions.
Hon. A. r. Mechling OF Clsrington
spent few days Of last week in this end
of the county. Although not out in the
interest of his candidacy for the legisla-
ture he yet met host of old friends and
constituents who gave him the glad hand
and assured him of their warm support
in the approaching campaign, because
they liked him as clean man and for the
splendid record he had made In the last
session. The average citizen admires a
courageous fighter in a good cause, es-
pecially do they respect him when be
wins, and that is why Mr.. Mechling holds
the large circle OF friendships he has
gained during his legislative career.
Peter Youngk, who is making his
home with his children at Tylersburg.
was welcomed by old friends in Tionests
and vicinity last week when he made
them visit. Mr.. Youngk retains his
vigor aud activity to a remarkable degree
for one of his age, being now in his Slst
year. He came to this country sixty
years ago, fifty of which were spent on
his farm in Green twp. Upward of forty
years of his life he held Office in his town
ship, including a term as county COM
missioner, and several as jury commits
sioner OF the county. In none of these
official stations will 1t ever be said he
neglected single duty. 1t is hoped our
old friend may live to make US many
more visits.
Charles Killmer returned Thursday
with his family from Independence,
Kansas, where he had gone two months
previously with the intention of staying
and engaging in drilling operations in
definitely II the outlook should be to his
liking, But II wasn't, hence the home
coming. Charlie says times there are
worse on the bum than here, besides Its
five times hotter and more dissgreesble
as residence spot. He says the reports
that they are in need of harvest hands is
bloomin' mistake, and has fooled lot of
eastern men into going there for work at
big wages, many of them being now
stranded and having hard time in get
ting the price of railroad fare back to
their homes. The situation doesn't seem
TO have any psychological aspects about it.
Yesterday morning Wade, the year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Lusher
met with an accident which might easily
have proven fatal. With some other boys
of near his age he was playing near the
old willow tree which stands on the
river bank near McCoy's livery stable
and had climbed up to the first limbs
where he over balanced and fell distance
OF fully 10 feet among the rocks at the
waters edge. In his fall he struck in
such way as to break the boIes of his left
elbow, the bones seeming to be jammed
past each other, making most difficult
fracture to treat. DR.. Gregg gave the
necessary surgical relief and the little fell
low is getting along nicely. He was
otherwise bruised and sustained one cut
on the back of the head but these hurts
were not serious.
