Mrs. E. H. Reppert (nee Beulah
Getty who several months ago Joined
her husband at Jenkins, Kentucky.
writes home in glowing terms of the
picturesque scenery Of the Cumberland
Mountains, and says further: THE ma.
tiYes are exactly like the characters in
THE Trail of The Lonesome Pine, Z"
and the author lives just a few miles
over the hills" Jenkins has a popu-
lation of about 5000 or 5000 and the
Repperts live about mile and a half
out of town at mining camp where
Mr.. Reppert is employed as electrician
for the Consolidation Coal Co., of which
his father is superintendent at that
place. They have a pretty, six-room
house, with bath and electric lights.
The stately old pine tree is doubtless
long since destroyed, and an immense
dam with cement coping now stretches
its ripping eXpanse across the trail
that led through the old woods, and
nearby, mining camp No. is fast be-
coming little village, and while the
years will bring changes, improve
ments, and uplifting movements to
these quaint people in the heart of the
Cumberland hills, yet it is to be hoped
that nothing will rob them of their
wholesome simplicity of character, the
delineation of which has made John
Fox. Jr., famous all oyer the country.
DR.. and Mrs. G. C. Keller left last
week for visit with their sons in Will
mington, Del, but owing to a small
pox outbreak at that place, they re-
celved word to come back before leav-
ing Cumberland, and will take their
trip at more convenient season. Mrs.
Keller remained in Meyersdale to visit
her sister, Mrs. Bruce Lichty, return
ing home on Monday.
Communion services, preceded by a
series of evening meetings, were held
in the Lutheran church on Sunday
morning, with good attendance. Be-
ginning next Sunday night services
will be held here once a month in ad-
dition to the regular service every two
weeks.
The Reformed church held services on
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Wilson de-
livering an excellent sermon.
The Adult Bible Class and teachers
of the Reformed Sunday school held
another social on Saturday evening at
the Broadwater ice-cream parlor which
was equally successful. as the one held
several weeks ago, over S25 being
cleared. Icecream, cake. coffee and
sandwiches were sold. The proceeds
complete the amount necessary for the
organ fund, which the members of the
Sunday school have raised.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Klotz and child
rem have moved from Bittinger into
part of the house owned by Mortimer
Smouse.
Thomas Little of Oakland spent Sun
day at the Victoria.
Mrs. Eva Bevans and children from
Union Bridge, Md, are spending few
week at the Broadwater farm which
was Mrs. Bevans' ,girlhood home. Mrs.
Beyans' health has been rather pre-
carious since the death of her husband
a few months since, and it is hoped the
change will be of benefit to-her.
J. G. Getty and son Frank attended
the big circus at Meyersdale last Tues
day, bringing Mrs. Getty back home
after week visit with relatives there.

HnHnnTTITTTnn HIT
HUUSEKlVES I'LL
HARD BY TURKEY
MARKET PRICES

Wilmington housewives were hit
hard today by the high prices which
we're demanded for turkeys and other
edibles of the THANKSGIVING table. A
trip through the markets revealed
amazingly high prices for the articles.
and 1t does not need to be said that
many homes Will dispense with their
usual Thanksgiving menu tomorrow.
The prices being asked by the farm-
ers are such as have never been
reached in many years on a day pre-
ceding Thanksgiving But il is not
only this formerly indispensable"
item Of the Thanksgiving table that
has been so hard struck Prices of
ducks, chickens celery. cranberries,
eggs, potherbs, and sage went higher
than ever.
Various prices were asked for tur-
key. The majority of the farmers
sold for 40 cents pound. but in other
instances 45 cents was asked Some
few turkeys were offered at 80 cents
a pound. Few buyers were found
among the hundreds of persons
crOwding the market.
The price of ducks averaged about
Sl.25 each. They were being sold
at between 25 and 80 cents a pound.
Chickens were sold for between "a
and 30 cents a pound Many more
buyers were TO be found for this fowl
than for turkey.

than they have ever before in the
history of the feast which is set aside
for all the nation to give thanks for
blessings received and TO be received.
The many who have fallen victims
to Cupid's dart will certainly be
thankful that, with the high cost of
living, they can at least put to test
the truth of the adage two can live
as cheaply as one" If the adage is
true, the cost of living is cut in half
at once. It will. indeed, then be a
day of Thanksgiving for those who
are to embark on the sea of matri-
mOny.
Then the turkeys Well. anyone
who ca nafford to buy turkeys at the
high price which. it appears, will pre-
vail by tonight, has a great deal to
be thankful for And turkeys are
never eaten alone. Those things that
go with them require butter, eggs and
the like. all of which are soaring to
