Will H. Pittman took departure
yesterday on an automobile trip to
the east, his objective point being
Highwood, n. j., where he will visit
his sister, Mrs Huxley. Before his
return he will visit several of the New
England cities. Mr. Pittman has
promised The Dial a series of inter

With the passing of so many Of the
pioneer residents Of Boscobel the
question arises as to whom Of the liv-
ing has been here the longest, Jack
Shipley, the old-time salesman at
Meller's drug store, was eight years
old when his parents came to Bosco-
bel in 1858. His cousin, Mrs. John
Hitesman, came here at the same
time. Lou B. Ruka was born here
May IA, 1858. So these three are
about tied for the honor. If any of
the other old-timers now here have
been continuous residents for a more
extended period The Dial would be
pleased to hear from them.

down into mud and water about four
feet deep. The driver managed 10 ex-
tricate himself from the wreck and
alter taking an inventory of his per-
son found everything safe and sound
for which he was very thankful. Al
bert Highlands drove along about
that time and brought Mr.. Evans to
town. Later a garage crew went to
the scene Of the accident, pulled the
i'll fated Henry from the mud and
towed it in for repairs. This is the
first mishap for the season to occur
