VILLAGE GOSSIP

"A touching sentiment was given in a
prayer offered last Sunday at the Pal
isade Church. Rev. Ingham invoked
the hope that someone may be raised
up who would be a light and guide
to this community" And if ever a
community needed such a blessing
Perhaps not more than other commu-
mites, but the thought if it could be
realized would be great benefit,
contamination devoutly to be wished.
An Added Mystery.
Some weeks ago The Palisadian
made a little news story of mys-
FERROUS breaking Of the end Of one of
the two inch thick boards down under
the little stone arch leading to the fer
ry from Palisade. A big stone was
imbedded in the end of the board, and
it looked like 1t would have required a
mighty whack to break board nine
inches wide, two inches thick. Last
week the adjoining board of the four
that form the walkway leading under
the arch was broken exactly in the
same way, the same place. 1t has puz-
zled many who have noticed the thing
to figure out just how it all happened.
The III. D. Valentines have arrived
in Florida and are settled for the pres
ent at Just what they will |
do is not stated, and Mr.. Valentine
writes that he has no set plans. He
will probably bring his family back
north next season and summer some
where in the mountains, and those |
who know him think he will be mighty |
likely to again make Palisade his 4
home.
Edgar EbeIl an Officer.
Last week Mr. and Mrs. Ebell motor
ed to the New York Military Academy.
Cornwall n-Hudson, N Y, where 4
their son, Edgar Ebell, is preparing for
college, Young Ebell pleasantly sur
prised his parents with the informa-
ton that he had been recently APP
pointed noncommissioned officer in
the cadet battalion.
The New Highway.
Is the new highway really coming
through Bluff road? First we hear one
thing, then another. Some man of in
fluence is going to4stop it or bust, and
another has seen the plans and they
positively call for Bluff road At any
rate, whatever happens the Bluff road
residents are dead set against the road
travelling that route, and there is no
sense whatever in allowing it. But
there is a certain engineer who will
crow when he hears the first stream of
footing, believing, hellbent trucks go
rushing up the cliff front with cutouts
wide open and making noise enough to
wake the dead. That's the joy of
life of politics and its little revenges.
The finishing of Palisade avenue has
become a matter of great moment to
all Palisadians. 1t is proving hard
task, with the great scarcity of labor
and the great size of the job. But
when finished this will be one of the
finest pieces of roadway in this entire
section, as well it should be at the
price
Lots of nice things said about last
weeks Palisadian. Thanks, good peo-
pie. We are trying to make it better
all the time.
Yes, we have located the two mean
est men in the whole world. Tell you
about them? You would not believe
it.
Little Theodore Nazeley turned the
latch on the next door lady the other
day when she went into the chicken
garden, and she had to call in one of |
her neighbors to let her out. He |
thought it was great fun. But he
promptly went over and apologized
