Rare Find.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Gardner, who
live several miles southeast of town,
recently found several Spanish coins
in their garden while they were tilling
it. The coins were all old, one being
dated hundred and fifty years ago.
The coins are about the size of quar-
ter, made of silver and are in very
good condition. The lettering is clear
and the die work good. Besides other
lettering, one is inscribed, 'Carolus
III-1776," and another "Carolus III
-1795." Mr.. Gardner is quite pleased
with his fortunate discovery.
Visiting in Their Homeland.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Warner and two
sons, of Whiting, Kansas, and Mr.. and
Mrs. J. H. Warner and family, of
Pittsburgh, accompanied by Mrs. Ella
Bird, of Confluence, Pa, visited at
Spring Valley Farm and other places
on Negro Mountain and around this
place last Wednesday. The Warmers
are sons of the late Henry Warner
who, years ago, lived on Negro Noun
tain and is doubles remembered by
many of the older residents of the
community. He moved to Kansas with
his family some years ago. The Wis
itors remember the locality quite WV
idly, having not seen it since they
were small boys and were quite de-
lighted with their visit to the famil-
lar haunts. They spent several weeks
at Addison, Pa, the guests of Mrs
Flora Turney.

prise party for her son Leslie, whose

Sold Sugar Timber.
Joseph Livengood, residing in the
Casselman Valley, nea~ the State line
recently acquired the old Livengood
farm just north of the one upon which
he now resides and known as the Eli
jah Livengood farms. Immediately
after purchasing the place, he sold the
sugar timber to Davis Brothers, of
Springs, well known lumber manufac-
turers in this community. Many peo-
pie feel sorry to see the trees go, as
this was a famous grove and with it
Elijah Livengood earned the title OF
Pennsylvania sugar king. However,
Joe cannot operate the entire camp
and feels that it is just as well to con-
vert part of it into lumber.

joyed. 1t consisted of group songs
