Warren Thompson and family who
tenanted the former (Fitch) Taylor
farm, moved last Thursday to the
Chappelear farm, in Meigsville
township. J. c. Hutchins and fam
lily moved from the farm east of the
village to their new home in the vii
lage, last Wednesday and Thursday.
Mr. Hutchins is the Reinersville r.
F. d. carrier Mrs. Rachel J. Smith,
who passed the 88th milestone of
her life's journey last Saturday,
spent Sunday at the farm home of
her son, William M, where with an
other son, Frank, OF Bremen, and

very interesting lady the mother Of

the local high school and trained in
the industry of the farm from boy
hood up, and, knowing him as this
community does it is easy for 1t to
acclaim him, for his industry and
knowledge of the pursuit, as ''mas-
ter farmer" The bride is the only
daughter of local parents, with such
education and rural training as con-
tributes to happy matronship over
the modern home and a pleasant
marital voyage for the twain, down
the stream of time. Congratula-
