The Reformed Sunday School
held picnic on TuscaroraHeights
last Friday afternoon. Heavy
rain in the forenoon dampened
both the picnic grounds and the
spirits Of the picnickers, but by
noon all was bright again-in-
cluding the spirits and they had
a nice picnic.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Martin, Of

Last Wednesday week, Jacob
Everts started to Duffy's mill
with a four horse load of wheat.
On his way he stopped at Harvey
Gordon's. A gun in Harvey's
hand went off" and the bullet
went into the neck of one of ia
cob's horses. Of course it was
an accident, and better that the
bullet went into the horses neck
than into Jacobs.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. R. Spangler,
temporary residents of Hancock,
were in McConnellsburg several
days this week laying off the
foundations for their new resi-
dence on north Second street.
We warned them not to leave
McConnellsburg, assuring them
that they would finally wander
back again, and we are glad to
see our predictions coming true.
Welcome, friends.
For the tenefit of former resi-
dents of Fulton County who may
be longing for the refreshing
breezes from the old mountains,
we beg to say that our thermom-
eter has registered between 80
and SO degrees of heat every day
for more than a week. The hu-
midity has been great, sometimes
registering 95 per cent of mois-
ture saturation. Your burning,
but drier, prairie heat is not near
ly as debilitating.
Last Sabbath, while Rev. j. L.
Yearick was holding communion
services at Hebron, a wasp stung
him on the little finger of the
right hand. He thought little of
it at the moment, but by the
time the services came to a close,
his hand began swelling and con-
tinued to get worse all that night
and by next morning all the 9TH
err fingers on that hand were en-
larged and inhamed and for sew
eral days he had quite a sore
hand.
Last Monday evening, Miss
Marian Sloan, assisted by Miss
Jessie, entertained in their charm
ing manner, between thirty and
forty ladies who, at sundry times
had been members of Miss Mar
ian's Sabbath school classes, and
some of whom are how members
of her Bible class in the Presby-
terian church in McConnellsburg.
Many pleasant memories were
recalled, friendships strengthen
