Freezing Items

Clarence Mullins has troubles
of his own, because he has dog
that will not stay at home. He
would not bother much about the
dog were it not for the fact that
he has priced pig that follows
the dog in all his ramblings. The
other day, while the ground was
covered with a light snow, the
dog took off and the pig after
him. Clarence set out the next
day to hunt the pig. He followed
the tracks of both pig and dog
over ridges and down hollows for
a long distance and lost the trail
when he came to a road. Then
a native informed him of seeing
the pair pass up Pine Greek, and
finally he located the pig high
up on Pine Creek. The dog, mean
while, had returned home by
different route.
Services were held at Pine
Creek church Sunday by several
ministers and at the close the
rites of baptism was administer
ed to penitent, Harlan Keene.
The day was raw, with some
snow and ice, and a chilly wind
swept up the river as the two
ministers and the candidate wad
ed out into the water while the
choir shivered on the bank and
sang, 80 Happy Day that Fixed
My Choice"
According to rumor, some law
ing is expected to develop at once
over the ownership of, two Or
three truck mines at and around
Camp Creek that have been in
operation for some time. Either
the operators were not too care
full in looking up titles to the
coal property Or heirs of the one
time owners are seeking some
flaws whereby they may muscle
in on the harvest being reaped
by the operators.
