A Valued Friend Gone.

Dennis, the faithful canine friend
of N. NJ. O'Connor, who for fourteen
years has been his never failing COM
panion, is no more. Old age with it's
accompaniment of rheumatism and
other ills has been creeping on apace
and the time came recently when a
humane regard for the animal left
open only one avenue of action. Den
mis- was bird dog and setter and
never failed when on the hunt. His
keen sense has three times saved the
Hanrahan & O'Connor shoe store
from burglary and fire, when he gave
the alarm in watchman-like manner.
He was a daily visitor to the store
and was highly respected, in all sin
certify, by all on the business streets
who knew him. He had a dignified
habit of minding his own business
which was truly admirable and was
one of the highest types of dog-citi-
zens. A dog like this one is more
than dog-he has a personality for
both men and women who are dog
lovers, which is more satisfying
many times than human friendship.

The total enrolment of pupils il

No Car Shortage.

Railway officials say there is no
probability Of car shortage for the
hauling of the crops this year. Rail-
way publications also contend that
the chance of car shortage this year
is not in evidence. 1t is pointed out
that the more efficient handling of
rolling stock, the increased number
of cars, the comparatively light
movement of freight other than
grain and the possibility of light
er crop to be moved all combine to
remove any danger Of congestion in
the non-crop producing states and
the resulting shortage in the neigh
borhood of the harvest fields.

MANY TOURISTS PASS
ING THROUGH CITY
They Come all the Way From Los

New York City.

Since the real fall weather began,
the number of tourists passing
through this city, as noted by the
local garages, has greatly increased.
Watermelon Day there was one car
from Los Angeles and another from
Seattle, Wash, in the city during the
day. During the past week cars from
Minnesota, Nebraska, the Dakotas,
Illinois and Ohio have been in the
city travelling east or west and last
week car from New York stopped

"reminiscences of 'Stryker Town

Some of the oldest settlers will re
call "Stryker Town. so called from
the settlement of several familie!
named Stryker in log cabins neal
Batch Grove, which was southwest
of Woodstock. N. B. Paine, an early
day, well known character anG
something of "rhymester," wrote {
few verses upon his experience in
finding Stryker Town for an issue
of the Freeman-Tribune in Decem.
Der, 1895, as follows:
Some six miles north OF Brewers
Town
Some forty years ago,
While hunting after Stryker Town,
We found--just as the sun went
down.
A blizzard storm Of snow.
We found no stryker Town that
night
But in a deep ravins
In Batch Grove-by our camp fires
light
While in very hungry plight,
We found the longest winters night
That I have ever seen.
There, on rubber blanket spread
Upon the snowy ground
Close to our tire-we made our bed !;
A blizzard bowling overhead,
While grey wolves anxious to feed
And loud enough to raise the dead
Were bowling all around.
The night wore off, the sky had
cleared;
The blizzard wind went down;
And morning sunlight came and
cheered,
And banished every doubt we feared; ;
While from the grove our course we
steered,
And when we had the timber clear
ed,
Before us-in our path appeared
Four rude log eabins-Stryker
Town.
And Stryker Town gave us treat
There, on the banks Of Boone,
With hospitality replets.
That filled us full, from head to feet,
Fresh fat fried venison for meat;
Done brown as we could wish to eat,
A square meal that was never beat
And everything was nice and neat,
Clear coffee and corn pone.
