Rural Dale

From the looks or the Weatfte
! this morning, Feb. 2, we rather sus-
pect Mr.. Grounding will not venture
4 out for well will he know when he
opens his front door it will be all up
with him about seeing his shadow
and basking in the sunshine. So let
US hope that there will not be any
more zero weather, till next winter
anyhow.
! The sale of personal property of
Mrs. Molyneux Saturday, was fairly
attended, and everything brought a
good price b. S. Peyton was the
auctioneer. The ladies of the farm
bureau here attended and furnished
refreshments of vegetable soup, bo-
logna sandwiches, pies and hot cof-
fee, which netted $26.
The entertainment given by the
farm bureau at the community
house Saturday night, was well at
tended. A fine program of music
and talks was given by local talent.
Will Shilling, merchant at. Brush
Creek bridge, visited his parents Mr..
and Mrs. John Shilling here, Sum
day.
Mrs. Rosie Young and grand
daughter Ruthanna Gibson and Mrs.
Lizzie Harlan and daughter Mar
garet spent an evening at our home
last week.
The farm bureau elected the fol-
lowing officers Saturday night, to
Drn
E. M. Frame; vice pres, Ray Rob-
erts; sec'y-treas., Dennis Betz.
Committee on program-Jessie Bar
clay, Florence Frame and Mrs.
King; committee on eats-Polly
Roberts, Louada Frame and Lenna
Moore.
We were sorry to hear of Mrs. Re
bcca Harlan of Duncan Falls falling
and breaking her arm Saturday.
Business is surely picking up here
at Rural Dale.
w. s. Frame who has been en-
gagged at farming during the sum-
mer and later working on improved
roads, is now working in his broom
shop. He has already made a good
many, and expects to be busy for
quite while in the business. The
two stores are both quite busy wait
ing on their customers.
We were glad to read the letter ii
the Democrat from our friend w. A.
Sealock of Kansas. Wish he would
write oftener, AS his many relatives
and friends of Reinersville and else
where are always glad to read his
letters.
Last week when the snow was SO
deep making it quite task for your
scribe to get to the coal bin and
wood shed and chicken house, etc.,
e. M. Frame took in the situation
and came over with his shovel and
made roads through the snow to all
those places, making it quite con-
venient for us to do our outside
chores, for which we are very thank
full. The husband of your cores
pondent, who was SO badly hurt a
few weeks ago, is getting along as
well as could be expected.
