to my few
friends. Were i to start out and tx
ploie the County and publish a his
tory cf the Fame as did John Bi-own
(if old a few weeks ego in the Tri
bune, I might enter into closer prox
imity with tho peculiarities or freak
of nature, but es I am debarred from
the pleasure of travelling in other
lands and studying the works oi na
ture. I must remain under my own
parental roof and study nature as it
comes to me.
That which is of nature is a natur
al sense, and while so mnch seems to
bo natural to ns, it is an easy task
for uj to have plenty for to work up
on in this great study.
. Thoselbings which have come to
ns in the past few weeks are of such
a brilliant character that it is very
easy to determine tneir original sense.
It 13 through the works of nature
that wo are permitted to enjoy the
rich crops of apples. It is through
a natural work of man to cause the
apples to be ground and made into
that dreadful drink called cider, pre
pared for the devil and his compan
ions, and certainly we saw the result
of this on the eve of our spelling bee.
Tbe devil with his followers must
have drank all the "rot-gut" in tbe
county, and then came to the peace
'ul gathering to m -.ke disturbance.
We don't wish to mention any names
as it is spread to wide all ready.
But we do hope that such young
men, reared among such good pa
rents will take warning and not do
this again.
Through the divine work of our
F ther, in a natural canse, Le has
called from our midst a person in her
youth Surah E. Brant, wife of Henry
Benner of Mexico, aged 23 years, 5
months and 11 days. She had been
ill for soma few weeks, when all at
once God in his wisdom exercised
his will by calling her from life to
death. She leaves one brother, a
sister and ber husband to mourn her
loss. Interment in Locust Bun Cem
etery on last Sunday. Funeral ser
vices conducted by Rev. E. E. Hart-
er of Thompsontown.
One day last week Miss Olive Hop
pie, while strolting along the edge
of a pond near her home saw an ani
mal 13 the water, and with the aid of
the dogs, chased it on dry land where
w th a club beat it to death. It hap
pened to be a half grown otter.
Quite a number of our young men
are attending the protracted meeting
in Thompsontown, held by Rev.
Harter. - Joe Carden.
