1t Is said since the army worm has WIS.,
tied j. j. Haighrs meadow at Cooper
Tract, it reminds one OF piece of the
Sahara desert. You remember that, no
doubt, when we were there-a long
stretch of brown, sandy waste.
A large car from Warren owned by Mr..
Onion broke an axle at the top of Orphan
age hill and was delayed few hours after
telephoning for the necessary parts for
repair, which were brought in from War
rem with Ford machine.
Edward Shaffer of Church Hill visited
the Brennan and Shaffer families at Min
lister and Sheriff, Sunday, driving over in
his new Ford.
j. NJ. Jackson of Sheriff figured in an
experience that will make him lame for
a few weeks. Last week while helping
to tube a well he was thrown a few feet
and lit on his hip on an anvil that was set
up in the rig. His injuries are not con-
sidered dangerous, we are glad to state.
j. A. Kinch, who lives on He'll Hill,
put horse in the same barn with his
noted driver, and the newcomer did not
seem to be friendly toward Joe's horse
and tried to cave in its sides by playing
mule. Joe's horse got badly damaged on
the hind corner, so bad that repair was
considered out of the question, and he
was humanely put out of misery. This
is quite loss to the family, as it was
their only mode of travel off the hill. No
doubt Joe now thinks the hill was prop
erly named.
A beautiful Hosteln creature at Sher-
iff that was gentle and unofending, with
always kind look in its eyes, has died
and it is said the call was anthrax. The
owner was offered $50 for the animal a
few days ago, and it is too bad be did not
go to a new home, which might have
changed affairs 80 that he might be living
| now.
Sunday morning 1t was discovered that
a COW had roasted in the Minister church
one night last week, and 1t was found the
lock was easily picked, and we judge this
COW is one that is noted for opening gates
etc. No great damage was done to the
property, but we will have to refuse this
lady admission to the above building in
the future. The lock was repaired anC
everything will be all right later on.
There was no preaching service in the
church Senday on account of Mr.. Warren
Jones being unable to be with us, but W.
hope he will be up again in two weeks
The Sunday school has decided to have
the picnic on the Goth. All the people il
this neighborhood are welcome to take
part with us and bring something good
along to make the children happy, anC
the big ones too.
The Geo. Shay family we're all at hom,
Sunday and it seemed good TO all to b.
together again. We hope this may occu
many times before the family circle il
broken by the grim reaper.
We hear that the Hanson family a
Cherry Grove had a family reunion las
Sunday, but do not know the particulars
so we will look for the correspondent a
that place to give them to us. Jame'
McMichael of Balltown was the only one
from here.
VIM. B. Card of Grand Valley drove
over Sunday and took back with hin
Mrs. f. u. Eastwood and Mrs. K. T.
Downey and family for a visit with his
family.
Mayburg gave big picnic on Satur.
day last and Quilted a number of our peo'
pie went down to celebrate with them
There was ball game between Mayburg
and Endeavor at three o'clock, which re-
suited in victory for Mayburg with {
score of to Z. The crowd then went to
the park where a large table was covered
with eatables prepared by the good
housewives and young ladies of that
place. Many hungry people satisfied
their stomachs and about seven-thirty g
band from Ridgway of 33 pieces arrived
on the scene and after they had partaken
of the bounteous feast prepared expressly
/ for them. they opened their instrument
cases, and talk of your musicl These
gentlemen had the attention of the audi.
ence until after ten o'clock. 1t is about
the best music we have ever heard in
these parts, and we know what music is
The band boys like our scenery and town
and we hope they will not forget the road
that runs to our country. We certainly
enjoyed the concert.
Albert Leichtenberger will take charge
of the boarding house here for lew days
! while Mr.. Kuhl takes a trip for pleasure.
