Mr.. Harry Buckingham this week
had one of the old time barn raisings.
On drawing near his home an observ-
or could hardly tell which was to
raise the barn the ladies or gentle
men, for the gentlemen hardly out
numbered the ladies. But when din
ner and supper were announced you
could then tell which part the ladies
took, for both the dinner and supper
tables were laden with more than
could be consumed. After dinner the
ladies went up to where the men were
raising the barn and it il wonderful
how they raise each piece with der
ricks. They seem to slip in their
places SO easily that the person
watching forgets the planning and
measuring and forethought it has
taken to plan it all out before the
wonderful day OF raising each piece
in its own place. Among those that
took part in the raising were: Messrs.
and Mesdames-George Gesell. Harry
Buckingham, John Gesell, Elias Davis,
Charles A. Wagner, John Davis,
Augustus Saddles, Jasper Bloom,
Howell Davis; Misses-Lou Williams,

The convention held at Deer Park
church was quite a success. Every
body that attended it was delighted.
1t was a credit to the different COM
munities.
Owing to the convention there were
great many visitors In our neigh
borhood.
The Deer Park Aid Society met at
the home OF Mrs. Kate Wagner at
Spring Mills for its May meeting. Al
though it was rather distance for
most OF the members to 20 there was
good turn out and they were re-
warded when they got there for they
we're cordially received. royalty en-
tertained and the scenery was lovely.
Her home is so situated that when
you look out at the scenery you see
the valley with the hills rising on
either side, the meadows dotted here
and there with the cattle brousing,
picture worthy Of an artist. The
meeting was called to order by our
vice president, Mrs. Beard, and the
business routine gone through with;
dues collected $3.25. The society
agreed to give toward repairing the
church, but it disagreed little In the
the way it should be given. The
society then decided to give chicken
supper in the grove Of the church on
July 4. Every one should come and
give support There will be a sand
dig, fancy table, Jacobs well, and ice
cream in connection with the supper.
There will be something to interest
