DOWN NITTANY.
Rev. Shultz preached a very able
and edifying sermon in St. Mark's
Lutheran church at Snydertown last
Sunday evening from the text: “For
I am not Ashamed of the Gospel of
Christ.”
A motor party consisting of Mr.
and Mrs. Will P. Dorman, Mrs. Dor-
man’s sister, Mrs. Dresher, Mrs. J. H.
Beck and Miss Miriam Beck drove to
Stillwater, Columbia county, last Fri-
day to visit frierids for a few days.
Seeding wheat and cutting corn is
the daily program at present on the
farms in the valley. Most of the po-
tatoes have been raised, and while
there was some complaint of rot the
condition is not serious. The crop is
large and of good quality.
Quite a number of chicken growers
attended the poultry culling demon-
stration at the Charles Decker farm
last Friday afternoon. Everybody
was pleased with the expert’s demon-
stration and believe poultry raisers
can profit by the instruction received.
Mrs. Fleck, wife of Rev. L. N.
Fleck, of Tyrone, spent Sunday
among her friends at Snydertown.
Rev. Fleck was pastor of the Zion
charge of the Lutheran church a num-
ber of years and both he and Mrs.
Fleck are held in loving remembrance
by their many friends throughout the
valley.
A dish of Japanese persimmons on
exhibition at Beck’s store at Snyder-
town is proving considerable of a curi-
osity. The fruit was sent north by
John D. Beck and was grown on the
farm near Jacksonville, Fla., of which
he is manager. When ripe they are
very sweet and command a high mar-
ket price.
The trustees of St. Mark’s cemetery
at Snydertown have called a meeting
for Thursday, August 7th, to cleanup
and make repairs at the cemetery, and
it is hoped that all those who have
friends buried there will respond and
do their part. A community is judged
in part by the respect shown the de-
parted and one of the ways of doing
so is to keep their last resting place
in proper condition.
From present indications there will
be more changes on farms in Walker
township next spring than have oc-
curred at any time within many years.
Some farmers are going to quit and
others change farms. Among those
to retire from the farm are Ross
Rumberger, H. P. Zerby, Mrs. Harry
Baker and Thomas Hinds. Scarcity
of help and high wages are contribu-
tary causes for men quitting the farm.
Another automobile accident occur-
red on the curve below William
Beck’s, near Snydertown, one day last
week when Bert Kauffman and a car
load of people from Lock Haven,
while running at a high rate of speed,
failed to make the curve and ran into
a tree at the side of the road. The
car was wrecked and while most of
the occupants received slight cuts and
bruises none of them were seriously
hurt and they were able to take the
morning bus to Lock Haven. It was
little short of a miracle that all were
not killed. There is too much care-
less and fast driving on the state road
through the valley and the only won-
der is that there are not more acei~
dents.

A Physical Quality.
There is a certain long-suffering
father whose nerves sometimes give
way under questions from his talka-
tive eight-year-old son.
“Dad,” said the youngster, just as
the old man settled down for a perus-
al of his newspaper, “Dad, am I made
of dust?” :
“I think not,” responded the unhap-
py parent, “otherwise you would dry
up once in a while.”—Houston Post.
