The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1916-01-20
OUR DISTANT FRIENDS.
Interesting Extracts from Letters Re-
Gently Received from Former Fol.
ton County People.

my paper does not look right and
! enclose the wherewithal to have
it changed. | enjoy reading the
News from home. Twas expect
ing that with a new judge, no Ii
censes would be granted by court
and Fulton county would step into
the dry column; but in that have
been disappointed. We hope the
day is not far distant when all
Pennsylvania will be dry.
/ have not been we'll for the
past year. Much of the time
have not been able to preach, and
so have resigned my charge and
will not attempt to do any work
for awhile. / am slowly improv-
ing, and being free from all re-
sponsibility and care, hope to re-
gain my health by spring. will
try to be good lest that monster
"pneumococcus" that you warned
US against in the last issue of
your paper gets me. Idon't care
about making the old fellows ac-
quaintance or having a tussel
with him. With the mercury
lowering about the zero mark it
is to be hoped the old tyrant will
freeze to death. / wish you
happiness and success during the
present year.

Enclosed find a dollar bill for
which kindly shove the date on
my paper forward another year.
The NEWS is a very welcome Wis
itor and we would not think of
doing without it. What has be-
come of the McConnellsburg and
Fort Loudon railroad? | am be-
ginning to think it has got lost in
the mountain. We are a little
late, but we wish you a prosper
Gus New Year.

Spokane, Wash. Find enclosed
cash to advance our subscription.
The NEWS reaches US Monday
morning following the week it is
printed and we always anxiously
await its coming. We like this
country. The climate here is just
grand. The wind seldom blows
hard usually there is no wind.
We are having nice winter wealth
er. The snow which has been
lying about a week, is about
three inches deep. They had
their first freeze over at Seattle
this week. 1t killed their garden
vegetables. A great many Japs
live from the produce from their
ranches around Seattle. They
have4from one to five acres in
their ranches. I,with my family,
visited my aunt Catharine Horton
Lathrum. She lives in the Pa
louise country about forty miles
from here. She pioneered to this
country thirty-fve years ago with
her husband and children. She
is eighty-two years old and is en-
joying good health. Brother John
Palmer is spending this winter
with his cousin George Slusher in
Great Falls, Mont. John spent
the summer at the fairs in Cali
fornia.
Rev. j. STANLEY DECKER, Mo-
ravio, Iowa:
/ note by the date on
the label of my NEWS that un-
less | pay up you must according
to postal regulations, stop my pa
per and that would be a calamity
indeed, so here's a little of the
coin of the realm to apply on my
subscription account which will
keep it coming for another year
at least.
We're having a touch of old
winters finger now, "a degrees
below zero yesterday morning,
and remained below all day yes
terday. 18 below this morning,
but warming up this noon.
We've all had a round up with
the grippe" but are about over
it now.
Wishing you as well as all the
News family a prosperous year.
Very Sincerely yours,
j. S. DECKER.
