Long, of this place.
John Kreager who celebrated his seventy-
fifth birth-day some time ago, is still able to
take sheaf about in the harvest field with
any of the young men of this section.
Toner R. Robb and Clayton Poorman drove
over to Howard to attend a festival last Sat-
urday evening, and as Clayton got a girl,
Toner had to walk home. The distance from
Howard to Romola is about five miles so
Toner became very tired and sleepy before
he had gone very far. But he managed to
get along all right until he reached the resi:
dence of John Kreager. There he fell sound
asleep, standing in the middle of the road.
In this uncomfortable position Toner slept
until he was awakened by Mrs. Kreager
splitting kindling to start the morning fire.
Mr. Robb’s troubles did not end there, for
upon reaching home he found every door
locked and the family still in bed, so that in
order to get to his room without being seen
by any of the family he was compelled to
crawl through a window.

Cherries in this immediate neighborhood

course are now about half decayed and unfit
for use.
Edwin Ruhl, our village landlord, left on

Of course the above gentlemen are very
proud and happy.
C. A. Krape assumed the postmastership
of our village on Monday last, and moved
the office to his store, possibly fifty feet dis-
tant from the old location. The front room
of the store has been entirely rearranged
and furnished with all new post office fix-
tures, and the department is now very com-
plete and convenient for any transaction con-
nected with the office. Mr. Krape retains as
deputy Miss Kate Shires, a highly accom-
plished young lady, thoroughly competent,
very agreeable and obliging and while acting
in that capacity for a few months under the
old regime ‘‘won golden opinions from all
sorts of people.” Mr. Krape made no mis-
take in this appointment, but displayed his
usual sagacity and excellent judgment.
An evening or twosince, a joke was played
upon one of our young lads which he will
not soon forget as it almost turned his hair
white. Having hired a team and accom-
panied by two young ladies they left for
Centre Hall and, after making several visits,
returned at rather a late hour. Leaving the
young ladies at their respective homes, he
proceeded to the livery stable to. return the
team and after entering the stable,—where
in the meantime the young men had con-
cealed themselves—and just as he was about
removing the harness, he was horrified at
hearing in a ghost-like voice, as if address-
ing an attendant, ‘I am the devil, be silent
and he will soon be ours.”’” Having such a
frightful doom in store for him, our hero ex-
claimed, What? and with one bound was out
of the stable and reached home with hair
standing on ends like quills on a porcupine,
and eyes protruding aboutan inch from their
sockets. At daylight he went to the stable,
still thoroughly demoralized and shivering
at the recollection of his night’s adventure
and related the occurrence, and also the
reason why the horse was neglected—of
course the "two ghosts’’ attended to the ani-
mal and have been laughing themselves sick
ever since. Our hero firmly believed that
*‘Old Nick” intended carrying him off, It is
really amusing to hear the many startling
stories arising from this little joke, now
about every old stable and shed in the village.

beast out of its perilous position. It was al-
most paralyzed and unable to stand.

Thomas Decker. Fred Decker’s house was
struck by lightning, but no serions damage
was done.
Last Monday morning while Rev. Aikens
was helping Harry Frantz repair a gasoline
stove, which had gotten out of order they
had quite a conflagration. The oil had been
emptied out of the stove into an open vessel
some distance away when a match was
lighted. Instantly the gasoline was a mass
of flames and the entire end of the store
seemed enveloped in fire. Sarah, the lit-
tle daughter, was badly burned on the face,
arms and neck. Mrs. Frantz was pretty well
scorched and Mr. Aikens escaped with one
hand burnt. Only by heroic efforts, though,
were ihe flames extinguished and the store
saved.

DEATH OF JoHN ISENBERG.—The young
man whose unlucky fall we mentioned last
week died on Sunday. While riding on W.
S. Ward’s delivery wagon. one day last
week, he fell off near Marengo and when
picked up was completely paralyzed. At
first it was thought that he had had a stroke
of paralysis but after a consultation of doctors
it was discovered that his neck was broken.
He was conscious all the while and was able
to converse freely with those about him un-
til the day previous to his death, which oc-
curred at his mother’s home near Graysville
on Sunday morning at eight o’clock. He
was a son of the late Thomas Isenberg,one of
the best known citizens of Spruce Creek val-
ley. He was a little over nineteen years of
age and was a popular and examplary young
man. He was a member of P. O. 8S. of A, at
Baileyville. His mother, three brothers and
seven sisters mourn his untimely fate. In-
terment was made in the Graysville burying
ground on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock.
