DARTMOOR ITEMS

1t was learned that Mrs w. Z. Booth
had passed away Her death which
occurred soon after a. m. on Satur-
day, Dec. 18th was doubly sad, be-
cause she left the infant, three days
old, beside the husband and four other
children Mrs Booth was industrious
economical, and kind as a wife, de-
voted as a mother, and quiet and un-
assuming as a neighbor. Her efforts
were chiefly conferred in her home and
family, and her loss to them is ir-
repairable. In this hour of trial, Mr..
Booth and family have the deepest
sympathy of the entire community.
The funeral services were conducted
at the home, on Sunday at p. m. by
Rev. Richards, of Belington, after
which the remains were conveyed to
| Belington for interment.
1t is mysterious and said to re-
member that of the recent deaths in
Dartmoor, two most recent, were mo-
theirs, leaving each, five children to
mourn loss that only mother can
replace.

The mine at Dartmoor is being OPP
Grated with full force, and is pro-
ducing full quota of coal. As
much as before the strike. We hear
no complaints now, and it is to be
hoped that with the recent exper-
| fences, the miners may not be so ready
to listen to the radical agitators, but
will be content with what is generally
considered good rate of wages and
that they may have a prosperous
winters work.
DR.. Brady of Junior, is treating
patients at Dartmoor. L. A. Jun
kins has been adjusted" He had a
kink taken out of his back and a
quick discovered in his neck. Lon has
been loading 8 to 10 cars of coal per
day and we now expect he will easily
load from IL to Is. Lloyd Wilson is
also, being treated by DR.. Brady,
being daily adjusted We have not
yet learned whether the displacements
are spinal or cerebral. Jas. Lake says
DIR. Brady 'is som pumpkins" as he
BRADY says he can cure Tubercu-
losis, Typhoid fever, rheumatism, etc
Lake says Brady must have an office
to be able to treat his patients scien-
tificially. Jim wants to see if he can't
grow an end on his finger and if that
succeeds, then he will have Leg growr
on Mart Farley, hand on Dad Ian
ham, and three inches added to Dac
MeBowell's dog. {Joe's) eaudal ex

We greatly regret that the young
ladies of Dartmoor are not attending
High School regularly owing to be
| ing disappointed in means of con
! veyance. This is seed time fer then
: and they should seek a proper prep
aration for same.
We have very wide-awake stor
r manager aG Dartmoor and he always
$ trys to have goods that will pleas
the ladies. The latest fad for dres
t goods, is pictures of dogs, monkey
. etc., but some of the customers ar
not pleased with the figures. w
may be pardoned if we suggest that
possibly the picture of fuzzie kit
/ ten might be more pleasing and salts
n flying to the displeased.
/. Super Blakeslee is sporting bah,
Overland and seems as pleased las
: boy with topped boots" She is
dandy and rides like an airplane o
n as we imagine one would float along
He is not stingy in using the car AM
j liberal in giving friends a ride
e John Blatchford can't make up hi
mind which to get, an auto, an air
plane, speeder, a carriage or
wheelbarrow. Some think John woul
probably understand the wheelbarroV
best, and that it would be infinitel
safer and cheaper-why not SLED
: John?
: Winter seems to be here; the cart
a has put on her night cap; the boy

d looking up the dolls; and the ladie
$ and gentlemen are selecting present
for Xmas. Now please don't forge
me.
