Thursday last, April 29th, the coun
try passed through one of tbe worst
storms to its history, It being general in
nearly all parts of tbe United States east
of the Rocky Mountains and extending
from Texas on tbe south to the lakes on
the north, causing Immense damage to
property and much destruction of life in
many of tbe southern states, where higbv
winds and tornadoes prevailed through
out tbe day. Locally the country suffered
most from floods. Tbe Allegheny river
overflowed Its banks, while islands were
entirely submerged, rain falling in tor
rents almost tbe entire day and far into
tbe night, causing the highest "natural
water" flood In a number of years. Yet
with it all tbe damage wrought was com
paratively small. Tionesta creek over
flowed its banks and in some places
travel was Impeded by submerged roads.
Tbe louses, however, were insignificant,
and the washouts were few.
Last week during the bigb water
while Albert Lawrence was looking arter
a pair of tbe Hickory barges which be
bad tied up at one of the islands below
town be witnessed a novel and rather
ludicrous sight, Tbe island was com
pletely submerged under two to three
feet of water. Tbis bad tbe effect to drive
the groundhogs and Add mice out of
tbeir burrows, and he counted no less
tban a dozen lusty "chucks" clambering
over tbe drift piles and on tbe trees, and
nearly every floating Blab or board con
tained a mouse or two. Tbe expression
of uneasiness and fear on tbe counte
nances of tbe little animals was almost
heartrending, and so appealed to Albert'a
seuse of humanity that he helped a num
ber to sale quarters where they could be
secure till the flood subsided and they
could begin business anew. To them tbe
flood was as real as was the one in Noah's
time to the human race of that period.
On Tuesday, April 27th, the crew

to tbe mill fifty standard cur loads of
logs, about one hundred and forty
thousand feet log scale, in nine and one
half hours. None of these cars were
loaded tbe day before, but all were loaded
on Tuesday and within tbe time stated.
The loading was managed by Charles
Desboer, engineer wbo bandied tbe Barn
hart Loader. Robert Thompson did the
decking, and Nick McManigle was the
tong booker. Tbe train work was
under enginner Carl Colby and fireman

Dorothy Shunk, wbo bas been attend

returned to her boine at Wbig Hill, Sat
urday. A aon was born to Mr. and Mrs. M. D.
Catlin, Monday.
Quite a number of persons fr un tbis
place attended the funeral of Mrs. C. L,
Berlin, at Wbig Hill, Sunday. Mrs.
Berlin bad been a resident or our town
for a number of years, until recently,
wben she went to Wbig Hill to reside
with ber son, Eugene Berlin. Sbe bad
been suffering from a complication of
diseases for over a year, Sbe was born
near Wbig Hill, May 18, 1839, and died
April 30, 1909. She is survived by live
sons and three daughters. Grandma
Bei I In, as she was familiarly known, was
a good neighbor, always kind and help
ful to tbe sick, (She was a member of
tbe Kellettville M, E. church for a num
ber of years and lived a true Christian
life. She died rejoicing in tbe faith in
which sbe bad lived. Fuueral services
were conducted by Rev. R, J, Montgom
ery, assisted by Rev. A. J. Horner, at the
Whig Hill M. E. church, Sunday aflor
noon, and the body was laid to rest In the
Whig Hill cemetery.
The first commencement of tbe Kellett
ville High School was held Friday eve
ning, in Andrews' Hall. The class was
greeted by a large and appreciative au
dience. The ball as decorated elabo
rately witb the colors or tbe class, blue
and white. Beautiful pennants and
flowers lent charm and grace to the scene.
Promptly at eight o'clock tbe Kellettville
orchestra, nnder tbe leadership of Prof.
Robblns, rendered a beautilul selection
that put tbe audience in an easy and re
ceptive mood for tbe good things that
were to follow. Arter tbe invocation by
Rev. R.J. Montgomery, the salutatory
was delivered in clear and audible tones
by Miss Verna Miller. Tbe speaker wel
comed all witb grace and dignity and at
the close or ber address was made tbe re
cipient or many costly gifts. Miss Ber
tha Sbunk came next witb a learned dis
course on "Incorruptible Wealth." The
young lady's essay was well received.
The orchestra filled the next period of
the program. Clara Jenkins, a tall beau
tiful brunette, captivated the audience
with a recitation entitled "Lasca." Mucb
of tbe gymnastics, gesticulations aud gri
maces that characterize the efforts of am
teur elocutionists was found wanting In
the young lady. Sufficient gestures were
used to portray the reeling In tbe recita
tion. Alvin Sallade, the class orator,
demonstrated to his hearers that the
class or '09 made no mistake in their se
lection for tbis important part or tbe
program. His exegesis of the class motto,
"Non Confectus, Sed I nitus," was clear
and strong. As soon as tbe strains of tbe
music had passed away, County Supt. D.
W. Morrison, in a neat and humorous
speech, presented tbe diplomas. Tbe
subject of Miss Lauretta Dunkle's essay
was "The Twentieth Century." It was
an excellent paper, portraying tbe evils
of the present and a remedy for tbe same.
Miss Dorothy Sbunk's discourse on "Un
crowned Kings and Queens," must have
been a solace to the mothers and fathers
present who were sacrificing many things
for the education or tbeir children. "The
Debating Society," a humorous recitation
abounding In impersonations or rural
rustics, was rendered by John Bobbins.
From tbeapplauso we are inclined to be
lieve that Mr. Robbins will be asked to
repeal bis performance in tbe near luture.
Tbe cla'-s was addressed by Rev. W, K.
Brinkman or Warren, Pa. His address
was able and masterly. It was a rare
treat to our people and when we say we
hope to bear the speaker again, we repeat
tbe wish or tbe community. The pro
gram was brought to a close by the vale
dictorian, Alva Watson. In a touching
address be bid classmates aud audience a
final farewell. While tbe orchestra
played its last selection the audience re
tired. It was thus that Kellettville made
its debut as a township bigb school.
