The general public OF Tonopah will
miss the genial old gentleman whose
post on the outer balcony leading to
the entrance of Masonic hall enabled
him to exchange smiles and greetings
with every passer by. Few knew the
physical distress experienced by the
deceased since he kept his own affairs
studioiusly concealed and with that
never fading smile encouraged others
to forget their own sufferings.

Herring fishermen are preparing
for The season which will get under

here last year. The season should be
an unusually good one. small num-
bers of herring were caught In the
locks last week and found q ready

Herring fishing has been an indus
try here since 1892. the year the Ches-
apeake and Delaware Canal was
opened. The first warm days of spring
usually bring the herring TO the fresh
water the canal provides for them.
Many OF the Oldest and most respect
ed citizens here made their start i'm
life by herring fishing
Until several years ago fsh traders
from West Chester. Oxford, Lancaster,
Kennett Square. Chester. New Castle
and Wilmington came here in their
wagons 10 buy the herring. but as the

to have the fish shipped to them. In
years gone by il was no uncommon

it would regret very much if the con-

lead to loss by those before whose

out here in Kansas. that Mr.. Mitchell,

issues until the matter may get in

But in this issue in question, and
under a heading Too Bad About the

who might not be willing to admit that
they are facts.
