West Virginia on Monday.
Mrs. Fred Scowden OF Coleman's Mill
was calling on friends in this vicinity
Friday, and enjoyed day in the land Of
her girlhood days. Glad to see our old
friends back again, If only for visit.
Misses Twila and Beulsh Highgate OF
Phelps visited their grandma, Mrs. VIM.
Slocum at the road tent at Wellers, FRI
day. The road camp moved to Blue Jay
Saturday afternoon, where they will stop
for couple of weeks before going to the
permanent camp near Frosts. The roads
show the work of artists and we should
appreciate the good some OF our citizens
are to the community and not do so much
knocking.
Miss Mable Magee and Hugh Hanna
we're married last Friday and arrived 81
the Sheriff depot in shower of rice the
same evening. 1t seems a poor custom
to throw the rice in raw state at the bride
aud groom. and how much more 1t would
have been enjoyed had it been cooked in
fine pudding and presented ready to eat.
1t says "eat, drink and be merry"
We had a very heavy frost here on
Saturday morning, as was expected on
June 20th, as we noted last February, but
the wise men of the east gave us the "dog
eye" and smiled. That was glad
"smole" last February, but how about
June?
The G. L, Littlefield family of Barnes
came down Saturday to visit relatives for
few days. Claude is not very strong
yet from the effects of the operation for
appendicitis few weeks ago. But even
If slightly disfgured he will be still in the
ring 10 a short time, which is much better
than being laid in graveyard so young
in life. Take an old rim like your scribe,
it would not be great loss, and perhaps
benefit in many ways to the community
at large.
Marian Rupert spent a few days last
week the guest of Tip Huater and
family at Nebraska. and had fine time.
Was at the show at Tionests, and had
lot of sport on the streams near Nebraska
in company with the young Hunter who
is near the same age. He returned Sstur-
day.
Miss Lois Welsh, who is attending the
Oberlin Conservatory of Music, came
home to attend the wedding Of her friend
Miss Leonard of Sheffield, and was
guest at the farm few days last week.
She expects to spend a couple OF months
in this part of the county before return
ing to 0berlin.
The j. G. Miller Lumber Co. finished
their present tract of timber Saturday and
the mill is now done with its work.
There will be work for the teams for al.
most Two months yet to get the lumber
hauled out of the hollow, but unless the
company gets another tract the mill will
also be moved out.
Mrs. James Troutner of Buck Mills
was visiting the Heasley family at Min
lister. Saturday, and the Geo. Shay family
Saturday night, returning home on Sun
day.
Lewis Mensch of Marienville and a
Ford factory man we're through here the
last of the week with splinter new Ford
car for some one down the creek. This
seems to be very popular make and we
agree with them when they say "there's
reason"
An auto passed this place Saturday eve
ming unlit at a 2Smile clip, which
brought back fond rememb brsnces of
fleeing from an imaginary foe. 1t was
dangerous way to behave in a civilized
place like this.
Forest Proper and family drove their
auto to Tionesta Sunday and Vivian
Brennan went with them. Forest is GO
ing to drill another we'll on the hill above
the church and has made road to the To-
cation.
The we'll on 52S2 is down in the neigh
borhood of4OO feet. The delay was caused
by having to drill a water we'll first.
J.J. Haight brought in a very good
well last week on his lease east of here,
and old vets put it 15 to 20 barrels day.
Chss. Horner also was lucky in the
same way, striking fair well on his
lease above Wellers last week. He was
called to Allegheny Springs on Wednes-
day by the severe illness of his brother,
who is suffering from a stroke of paraly-
sis. Charley returned on Saturday leav-
ing his brother feeling some better, but
still in serious condition.
Geo. Blum entertained his father and
mother from German Hill, Saturday and
Sunday,
1t turned out quite stormy Sunday, and
we lay 1t to the June solstice which is
about due with the new moon on the 23rd.
This is very necessary happening, as all
| should know. This is the time nature Is
cleaning house and the air will be mnch
purer after this storm.
We took trip out in the white mans
country last week and found 1t very
dusty, but when near town we en-
countered smell that was very obnox-
ious, likened unto the af1luvis that arises
from the carcass of defunct horse that
was unbured, or pile of unsold fish OF
two weeks standing in the sun. We do
not have those odors here like this one
was, almost susceptible to the sense of
touch. Some say we have no senses, but
this proves we have two at least.
