NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.
Interesting Itsms From Various Points
in the County, Reported by Our
Staff of Correspondents
East Benton.
We were visited last Friday after
noon by a copious and welcome rain.
It may be said that the long continued
drouth has been broken, but the
waters in our locality have not yet
been fully replenished. There was
a greater abundance of rain, north,
east and west of iu, but a sufficient
ijuantity for all practical purposes fell
at this place.
Evidently the drought was more
severe in this locality than in any
other within a very large scope of ter
ritory, yet I believe that oar crops
will compare . favorably with those
sections more hifhly favored with
rains.
Some few farmers have begun cut
ting up corn : but the corn generally
is, yet too gieen to be shocked.
Fall seeding is well on the way.
From appearance the buckwheat
crop will be very light. The straw is
so small that it can hardly be cut.
Especially is this true in the section
visited by hail
Thieving crows commit depreda
tions on corn fields. They are a nuis
ance equal to wharf rats.
The Hamiline S. S. picniced at
Wynona Park last Saturday.
The Harvest Home services at St.
James last Sunday forenoon is an an
nual service after the ingathering of
the crops. This is an old custom of
the Reformed church. In connection
with this service is the "harvest offer
ing" in the foirn of a collection. The
St. J:unes church was appropriately
decorated with fine specimens of the
various grains and fruits usually culti
vated in the community. The choir
rendered rood music. Rev. Houtz
always preacjies practical sermons, but
the sermon on this occasion we pro-
i.onr.ce one of the best effoits of his
life.
Espy.
The camp lire held in the Park on
last Saturday evening was well attend
ed considering the condition of the
weather.
Mr. Harry Barton of Hazleton
but formerly of this place, visited rela
tives on Sunday last. .
Mr. Frank Bomboy recently of
i.swisburg, is visiting his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. P. E. Bomboy.
Our ball team went to Lime Ridge
on Saturday last and played the club
of that place. The features of the game
was the constant kicking of both
sides, and the overwhelming score
piled up by Espy.
We understand there is to be a
wedding in town this (Thursday) even
ing. Boys, get out your instruments.
The Mifflinville btse ball club came
to Espy on Monday with the intention
of playing ball, but as our boys were
not looking for them, they were all
at work, consequently there was no
Rame. Some person who lacks good
common sense and who proba'jly
imagined that they had control of
the towa instructed them to come. It
m'ght be a good idea if such people
would attend more to their own busi
ness and leave other affairs alone.
DON'T PUSH.
If a mart owes you a bill now and
cannot pay it, don't crowd him. If he
is honest and deserving help him. If
you sue him other men may follow
your example and crowd him to the
wall, when a little breathing time will
enable him to get through successfully.
This is a time for men to help each
other.

bow crushed in Mie yard of the B. &
S. on the night of Thursday, Septem
ber 7th, died Tuesday morumg, 19th
at about 9 o clock. The same night
of the accident Dr. Gardner was call

grow worse, and Sunday had the first
convulsion. These continued at
short intervals until relieved by death
