ThOs. lockwood of Lancaster spent
several days last week at FennimOre
with his son Frank and daughter
Mrs. John Rowdon. Mr. lockwood
looks the picture of health, in fact,
he says he never had to have a doc
tor in his life, except once when he
was in the army during the civil war
in which he served 21A years. Uncle
Tom looks good for many more years
on this old earth, and we hope he
lives long enough to see the time
when old Santa Claus will present
him with a lockwood grandson for a
Christmas present. Then his cup of
joy will be full and running over.

pipe, but up to the present to no
avail. The we'll has been cleared to
the water line but the sucker rods,
which are badly broken, must be re-
moved before the pump can be at
tached. Everyone is hopeful that the
we'll will soon be restored to service.
The few wells in town are being taxed

be taken to prevent fire in the mean
