AT Buschhausen's {County Seat 1 Local and Personal Events Tersely Told. Miss Bessie Wrede spent Wed nesday ai Williamsport. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Schrader drove to Dushore on Monday. The friends of Miss Mame Fries will be glad to learn that she is im proving Attorney Bradley eanie up from Philadelphia on Monday to be pres ent at court this week. Miss Dolly C'rossley of NordmOnt visited her parents here for several days this week. Mr. S. Mead is now fully and comfortably settled in the J. Smith house on Maine street, having mov ed here from his farm that he recent ly sold to John Walsh. William Donohoe of Dushore, on Tuesday evening while walking on Railroad street slipped on the icy walk and fell, breaking his leg. John llassin Jr. has been employ ed by the Laporte Cooperage Com pany to scale logs brought to the factory yard. John is a capable and worthy young man and his promo tion was one well merited. Mrs. W. E. Porter of Shunk, ac companied her husband to Laporte on Monday and spent several days with Mr. A. E. Tripp and family, while her husband served a juror in court. M. E. Iteeder, formerly of La porte, now of the Chippewa stock farm, and who is an enthusiastic dairyman, recently attended the session of the State Dairy Association at Lock Haven, and was elected a member of the executive board. Several weeks ago a party of hun ters of Canton, consisting of Fred Tripp, C. M. Churchill, H. L. Clark, Lee Brooks, and Sam Kelts, had great success at Rock Run, where they killed two deers, one bear and a wild cat. An exchange says that every pa per should publish the fact that burned corn is a sure cure for hog cholera, and adds: it was first dis covered by a distillery in Peoria, 111 it was thrown to the hogs and eaten by them. Before that time a num ber had been dying each day with cholera, but the disease immediately disappeared. It is so simple a rem edy that it can be easily tried. Geo. Palmatier and Rowe Taylor, of Muncy Valley, had an exciting experience one day last week, while driving down the hill near George Taylor's farm. The team became frightened and unmanageable and ran down the steep hill at a danger ous speed. Palmatier was thrown from his seat on the bobs and took a good header in a snow bank with out serious results. The team wa> kept in the road until they were satis tied with their running. Miss Maud Crossley of Los Ange lies, Cal., is visiting her parents at this place. She will start within n few days for Philadelphia to visit her sister, .Mrs. Victor Hugo. Miss Maud greatly enjoys the cold winter days found at her old home village after spending much time in warm and sunny California. The Ilughesville Independent in 1 its last week's issue contains a lnrg< I two column half tone picture of th< new Methodist church at Mapleton,: and a portrait of the pastor, Rev. S. B. Bidlack. The church was ded icated to the worship of Almighty God, on December <>, with |the aid of visiting clergymen of prominence. One of the very creditable feature* connected with this handsome edi- \ (ice is the fact that it was dedicated j free of debt, which gives evidence I that the pastor and his loyal flock i have been active]in their good work, j The Independent describes the new | church in the following language: "Situated on a commanding emi nence, the building is the center of attraction for miles, lending charm to a pastoral scene of surpassing beau ty when observed from any view point, but appearing to special ad vantage when seen form the heights of Essick hundreds of feet above. It is a frame structure with gothic arched windows [supporting cathe dral glass. A Roman arched tower and belfry add to its architectural splendor. A furnace in the base ment diffuses its genial "warmth without taking up room and mar ring the effect of the interidr arrang ments." Rev. Bidlack's many friends in this section express much pleasure in seeing his success so pronounced and gratifying in his new field of labor. }<7W/jvasjzMk RIFLE A?ISTOL* JOB I C4BTDQES. | U " It's the shots that hitcount."

Supt. Mrs. James Thall of Cherry town ship has recently been successfully treated for a caucerona tumor, at the Williamsport Hospital. The money paid by the Lehigh Valley Railroad to its employees in Sayre during one year, is equal to the assessed valuation of the proper ty of that large town. THE FARMER. : Aa Other* Dee tllm and m Seea hy HlmwlC. J. T. Ailinan. secretary of the Penn sylvania state grange, remark* that recently at a grange picnic a gentle man, not a farmer, extolled the farmer to the skies. Aa be uw It, the farmer i is the most independent man In the land. He can scarcely know a want that he cannot himself supply. His wife enjoys a paradise, and hla cbil -1 dron are the healthiest, happiest and most contented to be found anywhere. There is nothing of which be can justly complain. Soon after a farmer who owns two good farms and a house In town woe beard to say: j "The farmer is not respected by any body. lie gets no public recognition. ! When he goes among other people be is sneered at as only a farmer. Ho Is dis criminated against by legislators and ! business men. He pays the bulk of the I taxes, and others fix his prices for htm. j A S2OO check will be required to pay ! my taxes this year. I am tired of It. My properties are In the market." i There Is some truth In what the first | man said, too much truth in the state ; mcnt of the second. The mission of the j grange is to realize for the farm as far ; as possible the dreams of the first and i to correct the evils complained of by ! the second. A Main* Method. Sabbath Day Lake grange at New Gloucester. Me., was dedicated recently by State Master Gardner. To accom ; pllab the ownership of a new hall a company was incorporated and stock sold at $lO per sharo to defray the ex pense. This was disposed of mostly among the members of the grange. In this there is a suggestion to other granges having a new building in con templation. TTie hall is 38 by 60 feet j on the outside and cost $2,000. It is a ! neat and well arranged structure, with dining hall and kitchen below, while the upper story contains the main hall and anterooms. There is a fourteen foot stage, with all the conveniences necessary for theatrical and other per formances. A Good Record. There are these four stars in the grange diadem, the correction of rail ' way traffic abuses, the secretary of ag- I rlculture as a member of the president's rabinet. the pure food laws and the de livery of rural mail, a quartet of 1 achievements that are the resnit of years of bard, earnest, persistent work, years in which self was not considered. >-ase was not consulted and failure was 1 not thought of by the men In whom the I urange reposed a trust that was ncvor ' betrayed. It Is an honor to know tbeae men. It is a pleasure to enjoy the re sults of their labor.—X. D. Akius. Administrators Notice. re- estate of W. A. Roseucrans late porte Boro.
