Teamsters are complaining that the watering trough short distance up the German Hill road Is out of commission, on account of the spouting which carries the water fro n the spring being decayed and broken down. There Is no lack ol water, this being one ol the finest springs in the country, and the trough ought to be repaired. Five of our enterprising and Intrepid youngsters took an Involuntary bath Sunday afternoon down at the river bridge, where the water Is six to eight feet deep and correspondingly frigid. "How's the skating, boys," someone asked. "Not very darned good, when five of us 'get In' up to our Decks," was the laconio reply, -The Forest Barge Co., is baying con siderable trouble iu securiug its stock of 24 barges lying in the river at West Hick ory against possible loss by a premature freeze-up.

The annual bazaar held by the Ladies Aid Boclety of the Presbyteriau church Friday evening wa? perhaps the most successful affair ol the kind ever held In this place. The attendance was very lance, and about every article o (TV red found roady sale, and many of the pieces of fancy work were marvels of beauty and art. The chicken Bupper which preceded the opening of the bazaar was well pat ronized and thoroughly relished. The proceeds from the combined events netted the society about f 135.00 with which to replenish Its treasury. The ladies are deserving of much credit for the energy and perseverence shown In this enter prise, which means persistent effort and weeks of patient toll. Sheriff Williams and County Detec tive Brown, of FrauKlin, were In town for a short time last night on their way to Franklin. Accompanying them were Dr. Warner and Attorney C. H.

Sheriff Williams stated that be and the others bad secured more evidence that corroborated the statement of Barnes that be kuew considerable about the murder of Treasurer Blevins, of New Castle, 10 years ago, but asked that noth ing be published, as premature disclos ures of what bad been found to-day would lend to defeat the cause of justice. All concerned seemed satisfied that there is some truth In the many confessions Barnes bas made relative to the Blevins murder in New Castle and the Everbart murder In Clarion county. Derrick. Theodore A. Snow, a gauger for the National Transit Co., residing at West Hickory, received a bad bullet wound in bis right leg, below the knee, last Friday night. In company with several friends be was spending bia vacation in a camp at Hermit Springs, In Warren county, where they were bunting bears. On Fri day evening, while one of the bun tern, a gentleman from Rochester, Pa., was ex amining a 3S-caliber revolver in tbe camp, tbe weapon was accidentally dis charged. Mr. Snow was stooping over and the bullet entered bis leg just below the knee, laking a downward course of several inches and coming cut on tbe outside of the leg. No bones were broken but a part of the bullet remained in the wound, having beon split on the shin bone. Mr. Snow was attended by a phy sician summoned from Clarendon, and arrived home Saturday. No serious re sults are anticipated from the Injury. Not everybody taaes stock in Ihe al leged asseverations of tbe "Oldest Inhabi tant," but when the O.

Gillespie, of Punxsutawney, who is 87 years old, and bas the meteor ological records of this section for the past 75 years down pat, tells tbe Spirit Ibat tbe present is the most remarkable season for at least three quarters of a cen tury. During tbe period covered by his observations, Mr, Gillespie says, there has been but one summer that bad a rec ord anything like that of 1908. In 1854 there was not enough rain to affect the creeks or springs from June 15 to Sep tember 20, a period of three months and six days. According lo the records kept by Mr. Gillespie this year, rain sufficient to affect the creeks bas not fallen since July 21, or four month and 13 days. Tbe dry spell of 1908, therefore, already bas the best of Its most noted predecessor, 1854, by one month and seven days, with uo rain in sight yet.

Tbe resumption of the purchase of chestnut wood by tbe Queen City tannery Is proving highly-beneficial to a large number of farmers and woodsmen throughout this section. Tbe grade ol chestnut accepted by tbe tannory bas no other market value whatever. It consists Isrgely of dead standing timber, fallen timber that bas reached a stage where It Is useless for any other purpose, and even fence rails are being out into proper lengths and marketed. Not only Is the territory In this vicinity being drained of tbe product, but this class of timber In adjoining counties is being shipped in here by tbe carload. For all of this wood tbe tanuery pays a flat price of $4 a cord to be ground Into pulp from wblcb tannin is extracted. As result many thtfunands of dollars are being paid out in this sec tion. -Titus ville Herald. J.
