Kllenton the early part of the week, j ' Miss Myrtle Bryan is spending a ' few days with Faporte friends, i Horn, to Mr. and Mrs. Theron! i Allen, on April 22, a daughter. j ' Mrs. K.J. Mullen was a William-: sport visitor Tuesday. F M. <'roesley was a Dushore vtsi- I tor Monday. Mr. Wendall Sick of Dushore, j | transacted hteiness at the county j ; scat Monday. * Mi>s Antoinette Lancaster of j Forksville, was a visitor in town las' j Friday. , Rev. I. IT. Fisher conducted an Faster servic" at his church at Hock Run, Sunday morning, after which j he immersed six promising young I converts in Hock linn Creek. Workmen arc engaged putting in ■ | new grates and making other re-i pairs about the furnace at the tan- j ! nery. Indications point to an early resumption ofw i, "k at that industry. * Ilarrv Schradcr also Harrold Kilter are suffering with the ineas I Icb. Mrs. .Jessie Allen of New Aloa-j ; ny spent Sunday with her brother in-law. T. W. Allen at this place. Mr. and Mrs. Burr C'owell are ' visiting their parents al New Alba ! ny. i Two thousand acres of land have ; been secured by MeCauley Bros.. { near the tow n of Overton, Brad-i j ford County, and it is said that the ' iinn will immediately start the iniu j ! ing of coal on the plot. The coai |is said to be of semi-bituminous | j variety, 1 File shaft at the new coal breaker being built by then' Boyle Mining! Co., near Item ice, is down in the ! neighborhood of KMi feet, and the j tinibers are being framed for the | new coal breaker. An egg weighing four ounces and J I measuring within four inches of one j foot in circumference, was presented j to the editor as an Faster gift by ! A. <'. Jenkins of Celestia. The egg: was the product of Mr. Jenkin's cel ebrated black niinorca hens and is, but a fair sample of what is prodttc j led at this chickery. Sotjiv of these j | eggs have brought as high as live! | cents apiece. With such eggs as j these the hens have something to | cackle over and the proprietor some j thing to crow about as Celestia takes | the record for sand rocks and mam- j joth eggs. The Faster egg had | not reached that stage when it would i | attain a pair of wings, as might be | | supposed, coming as it did from a Celestial realm. < The Nebraska statute prohibiting all spurts upon Memorial Day is an embodied protest of a patriotic Com ; uionwetdth against the too common ; practice of desecrating a day which \ | ought to be sacredly and reverently; observed. For sonic vears past, in some local-! ities, there has been a reprehensible! j tendency among younger men and j ! boys to make Memorial Day a date I 1 for untimely recreation and unseem-! l iy mirth. This is at variante with ! ; the spirit which should animate thej I occasion, and impugns the purpose ! which led to the establishment of the J day as a holiday throughout the! land. When that day is made an . occasion of boisterous sport with no, indication of remembrance or respect j for the honored dead, it becomes an actual desecration of the memory of ! those to whom honor, gratitude and j reverence are due. : <)n the near approach ol Memorial Day this fact should be deeply mi spressed upon the public mind. An exchange in a neighboring county has the following to say on j I the scarcity of farm help. Just j to what extent these conditions exist; ; in this locality we are not prepared j ■to say: The supply of good farm | hands has always been smaller than i the demand,' but the last few years labor of this sort lias been unusually [scarce, the condition of business a | long industrial lines taking away j from the farms a greater number of young men than usual. This spring , the scarcity of farm help is more p'o ! nounced than last, and a number of (>wners of large agricultural proper ties have been obliged to engage j foreigners to assist them in their !H|>rinjj work. Wagps 011 the farm' run from s•> to SIK n month, includ- j iu«r lioarti. Hoys from twelve to i ; foiirtfcn ,v»>sir-< of age nre )>ni a month, with the ! i privilege of using a t«nm, and many j other extras thrown in. About «iit 1 per rent of the hired help of the farm ' begin work in April ami unit on , December 2nd. The increase in the prices of West- I era beef, due to the fact that dealer-, are holding back on their stock until j the grass becomes nourishing, will j ! ail'ect the local market by several ; | cents.
