SUNNYSIDE


Nearly all the farmers in this sec
ton have finished sowing oats and
considerable garden making has been
done, as well as blowing and harrow
ing for other crops of later planting.
On last Friday and Saturday we had
fine rainfall which was greatly need
ed, as the ground had become very
dry. The rain ended with snowfall
of about two inches, which made the
early-planting farmers feel very blue.
One may see in the air and on ground
many of our native summer time song
birds on the hunt for food. They came
with the first warm weather and the
way they are staying makes one feel
as though our winter will not last
long.
Mr.. P. F. Breuninger left here on
Monday for a point in Iowa to visit
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Noah Miller,
who is very i'll at this writing.
The literary society at this place
gave a very interesting program on
last Friday night. The program in
cluded debate. The society was hon.
ored with a large attendance. Many
more would have been present but ow-
ing to the rain prevailing at the time
they did not venture out.
Reports are that Mr.. Howard Stahl
has purchased the Biser farm, located
about three-quarters of a mile from
the Sunnyside school. 1t is understood
the purchase was made mostly to af-
ford additional pasture for Mr.. Stahl's
stock.
Our main road to Oakland has been
greatly improved. Rock has been put
in the low places where heretofore it
was almost impossible to get through.
The rest of the road has been dragged
so that now tourists are able to get
to points in the upper end of the coun-
ty as well as to points in West Virgin
Ia with some degree of satisfaction.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler Sanders and
family, of Keyser, formerly of this
vicinity, are spending some time here
visiting friends and relatives.
A number of the young folks of this
community attended the literary soci-
ETY. meeting at Silver Knob on April
LIST. All report having had fine time.
Several of the miners Of this place
were present at Crellin on the 8th inst.
when Mr. William Trickett, of Cum
berland, secretary-treasurer of Dis
trict No. 16, made a very interesting
speech In regard to the working condi-
tons of this District as well as the
conditions of the many other districts.
Mr. Trickett made it very plain that
many operators will resume work in a
very short time
AS a great many industries are now
beginning to operate in all sections Of
the country he also made it plain that
it was possible for those who are
members of the U. NJ. W. A. to get
their living from the international or
ganization while the coal works are
at standstill.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bert WEIGH, of Eglon

Soelters.

Mr., and Mrs. Gilbert Yutzy on Sun

family.
The readers of The Republican in
this section were highly pleased with
the article appearing in the last is
sue from Mr.. j. G. Breuninger, now

many. We are all acquainted with
Mr.. Breuninger, as he was our school
