Leaves Roosevelt to Take Up
Farming In New York State

ROOSEVELT, April Sex
Councilman Daniel A. Gillespie left on
Monday for Glen Spa, sullivan county,
New York, where he will take up
farming and a summer place for vaca-
tionists.
The Gillespie family own large farm,
and Woodland interests in Sullivan
county, which were being neglected
and made it necessary for Mr.. Giles
pie to leave the borough. However,
he feels hat he will greatly benefit
in his health which has not been the
best for some time and also will great
ly benefit the estate, which needed
care. Mr.. Gillespie has been in the
borough for the past nine years, com
ing here from Railway, starting the
Gillespie pants factory in which he
was successful, later, selling TO the
Eisner Company, of Red Bank, who
had large government war orders.
Mr.. Gillespie worked and assisted the
Eisner concern to rush the orders
from the local shops. He served for
three years as a borough councilman
up until las December. He refused
another nomination, because his war
work kept him more than busy. His
success as n councilman proved him
an efficient and hard working official,
assisting Mayor Hermann in the bor-
ough's great success. He was active
in Republican politics. His family
will follow at a later date. His son
James was recently mustered out of
the service of the army.

A community meeting was held in
the schonlhouse on Saturday night, a
large number of citizens and people
from the rural districts being present.
County Agent A. G. Middleton con-
Quoted the meeting, being ably assisted
by other gentlemen. Many topics of
community interest and welfare were
discussed, among them being the pro-
ject of new school building in the
near future. Messrs j. J. Bender and
j. o. Getty, the school trustees, have
been putting forth every effort toward
this end, and as new school building
is badly needed in Grantsville, the Com
munity Club stands ready to help. Mat
tiers pertaining to the Community Fair
of 1919 were also under advisement.
Another despicable act of thieving
was committed last week, on Thursday
night, when thieves broke into the
meat house of Noah +. Hershberger, of
near GrantsYille and stole several hun
dred dollars worth of Pork belonging
to Mr.. Hershberger and his father,
Emanuel Hershberger The thieves
departed IN Ford car and were prob
ably the same ones who killed the val
liable calf belonging to Samuel and
Memo Hershberger the week previous.
The granary was also pillaged. Hams
amounting in value to S75 were among
the meat stolen.

Fay L. Miller, was signallv honored on

are sons of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. II. Mil
Ter, of Little Crossing. and were the
first boys from here to enlist in the
cause OF democracy, Earl having to
obtain his parents consent, being but
eighteen. Earl was deprived of the
honor of participating in the Presi-
Dental parade. owing to the fact that
he was in hospital recovering from
