GAMMON IS RIGHT.
"Why do reporters write 'Gammon's
Hill.' Gammon, in the first place nev
er owned the hill; In the second place
there was no Gammon, and in the
third place the whole thins: is imw
gammon. And surely it Is not Gam
mon's Hill now. In recognition of a
tradition, we would suggest that Gam
mon Hill, without the possessive case
is enough to give it a location and a
name."
The above appeared Sunday morning
In a local contemporary. The lack of
its purpose Is deplorable but It is very
evident that an attempt nt "gammon"
was being made. To be generous It
might be said that 'Gammon's Hill"
is more nearly correct than the eftu
r.lon concerning it, at least so far ns
the explanation given by old West
Scranton residents Is concerned.
Years ago, the farm adjoining the
McKeever's farm was owned and run
by a man named Gammon, said to be a
Frenchman. Ho was a peculiar fellow
and easy-going. The high point on the
farm, now called "Gammon's Hill"
rnmc by its name after this manner.
Everyone well knows that boys like a
big field to play in. The boys of those
days used to play in Gammon's fields.
He told them to go up on the hill and
keep out of the other fields.
Tradition says that Gammon said he
wished to give the "gamins" a chance
to keep out of mischief. So whether It
should be "Gammon's" or "Gamins"
hill is a mooted question, but the fact
remains thut for years, until building
operations put a stop to it, base ball
and other athletic sports were played
on "Gammon's Hill."
UNIQUE SOCIAL AFFAIR.
A large number of friends were en
tertained last evening at the home of
Miss Sarah Meredith, 1018 Jackson
street. Tho nffnlr which was exceed
ingly pleasant, was conducted by the
members, of the Baptist Young Peo
ple's union of the First Welsh Baptist
church, of South Main avenue.
Among tho many unique diversions
offered ns entertainment was "lantern"
croquet. A lantern was placed at each
wicket and thus one wns able to play
croquet by night. Tho young ladles
each wore a cap upon which was let
tered the name of a state of the Union.
Faeh gentleman wns given a card up
on which was written the capital of
each state. Tho gentlemen were sup
posed to locute the state for which
he held the "capital," The affair prov
ed to lie a financial as well as a social
success.
