( County it <j I Local and Personal ISvcnts; I Tersely Told. j Mr. John Swingle of Shank was I a business man in town Wednes day. Mr. J. L. Smyth has be quite ill with the gripp for the past few days Mr. James Moran Sr. of Muncyj Valley, has accepted aposition in the Laporte tannery Mr. and Mrs. Carl Philliqs, who moved here about three years ago, on Monday moved back to their old home at Wellsville N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Meylert re turned on Wednesday evening from a three weeks' visit at Mid dletown, N. Y., and other places. Mrs. A. H. Buschhausen was callad to Overton on account of the serious illness of her aunt, Mrs. Walsh. Mrs. Walter Spencer was at Wilßesbarre, Tuesday, to receive medical treatment from a special ist of that city. Mrs. W. H. Randall on Satur day drove over to Elkland, where she spent several days with Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kaye, and enjoy ed for the first time seeing maple sugar boiled from sap. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jones have gone to housekeeping in the house on the Sheean farm near Lake Mokoina. The condition of Mrs. Electa Mead, who has been ill for several months is such that her physician has abandoned all hope ol' her re covery. Rush Botsford, of Nordmont, transacted business in the county! seat one day last week. Landlord Johu Hassen has com menced the new front of the Com mercial hotel. An extension of ten feet in front and the addition of another story to the main build ing will. when completed, inakej the house very attractive. Con tractor Henry Stepp is rushing the work and promises to have the new hostelry ready for business by the time of the May term of court. Henry Kraus, the fourteen year old son of Henry Kraus, Sr., our town butcher, met with a serious j aceideut one day last week. Wliilt in the act of driving a wedge into j a piece of wood a piece of steel j struck him in the eye inllieting ! . I painful wound over the eyelid Me called on Dr. Randall to have j the wound dressed and it was then i learned that the injury was more serious thun it was at first thought to be. He was taken to William sport last Friday for special treat ment and the specialist who lias charge of the case states that there is little hope of saving the sight of! the injured eye. An operation | was performed to remove the piece J of steel and from the hole where ii j had entered a portion of the eye | had run out. Henry Kraus Sr. went to Williamsport Wednesday and if nothing more can be done for his son he will bring him home to-day (Thursday). Church Fair Friday Evening. The ladies of the Methodist Episcopal church will hold a fair in the basement rooms of the El lery Ingham house, on Friday! evening, March 19, 1909. Plain and fancy articles, all use- j ful, will be for sale, such as aprons i both large and small, plain and] fancy, shirtwaists, sash curtains. j dresser scarfs, collars, dainty neck bows, handkerchiefs, cushions, childrens sacks and a number of other articles. Prices will be reasonable and you will get good values for your money. No useless trash airong the articles for sale. Everybody cordially invited to come whether or not they buy. Ice cream, cake, coffee and home-made candy also will be sold, I ! If this meaanre becomes a law there is a yood prospect that the fair would i>e held in Lycoming county, as 1 lis county is the central county ; in tiio list comprising the forth dis : trict. The appoiutinent of a com mission to select the site for the fairs in each of the districts is provided . for in the bill. That this propo sition would prove popular there is : no doubt. The district fairs could i take the place of the proposed state ; fair and would afloni much better J facilities for the farmers to study agriculture and stock raising than would one state fair located in any part of the state. James Caven, health olticer, j made an inspector! of the school buildings and grounds of Davidson Township last week, and with one or two exceptions found them in ex cellent condition.
