urcsti"K Reminiscences by Jan.
Uv Whose Hoylinod Was
Spent There.
fl)e following reminscences ure
w-cially interesting to tlio
itor of the News from the fact
it it was his home for several
irs.
Inth piMU? of 1W54 the late
,raham M. Peek, father of the
troftln3 News moved with
; family into the Meadow

the far m formerly owned by
Kays. At that time there

! daughters Mary and Caro

"lower farm" the two farni-
living nearly a mile apart be-
theouly inhabitants of the

k family moved to Hod ford,
the Hnrr family went back to
Cove.

this w.iol and "pick" it-that is
remove from it all burs and tan
gle's. The wool was then sent to
the carding machine and made
into rolls. These were brought
home, and mother and the girls,
or some yong woman who could
he employed, brought out tho
big spinning wheel and then for
weeks would be heard the oo-oo-oo-o-o-o-o
of the wheel as the rolls
ver spun into yarn, was wound
from the spindle of the big wheel
upon a reel, measured into "cuts"
and skeins, and then, where tho
family did not possess a loom it
was sent to a weaver in the neigh
borhood and manufactured into
'asiue.t (cotton chain being used)
or into all-wool stuff. This ma
terial was used for clothing for
the men aud boys, a lighter
thread was made and a softer
goods produced called flannel for
the whiter wear of the women
and girls.
The coloring was usually done
while it was yarn. A popular
dye being butternut brown,
made by steeping the bark of the
ordinary butternut tree well, as
no one is likely to want to use the
receipt now, we will not tell all
the ingredients used.
After the weaving, the cloth
was brought home, and then
mother became the tailor aud the
dressmaker. With her own
hands she cut out aud made the
clothes for father and the boys,
and for herself and the girls, the
thread used being that which she
had spun with her own hands
from Max raised on the place.
From tin yarn spuu a little
coarser she knit stockings for
the whole family; aud when her
watch full eye detected a hole
making its appearance in the
heel, she promptly darned it.
The man who put up the wool
leu factory failed and went off
aud left it. We afterward built
a saw mill there. A millwright
by the name of Davy Teeter did
the work, lie lived out at Jug
lown, not far from McConnolls
bu rg.
We also built the "Blouse Cab
in" near the old dam, and a tailor
by the name of McCee lived in it
awhile. I do not remember that
any olio else ever lived there.
Near the caoiu is oue of the
many sand springs thatare fouud
in the Va'ley. This McGeo was
a sou of the Mrs. MctJee who
kept tavern at the foot of Cove
moiioiaiu east of MoCouue"s-

was one Je ikhis who lived in the
old woollen iii'1! using it then as
a dwelling. ' Ue made a living by
manufacturing tar aud hauliug it
to Job a Heaver at Loudon for use

Robert Johnston owned the
lower farm aud lived on it awhile,
when he weut down aud lived be
tween (Jreeueasllo and Hagcrs
towu. Later ho moved back to
his farm in the Meadowgrouuds,
and lost his mind. One cold wet
evening, in the fall, he wandered
away from home and his family
could not hear anything of him
uut'l tlio next summer sometime,
when oue of the Morton boys

Kl KAL MAIL DIXIVCHV,
Changes After July 1, l'Mll.
The Post Ullice Department of
theUuitodStateshas issued adver
tisements inviting proposals for
carrying the mails of tho United
States in the State of Pennsyl
vania from July 1, liinl to June
HO llur.
A new condition w hich the bid
der must observe is as follows;
"lo bid submitted under this ad
vertisement will ho considered un
less the bidder resides on or e.m
tiguous to tho route on which tlio
service is to be performed, or
shall tile with his bid an agree
ment that in the event of tho ser
vico being awarded to him he
will reside ou or continuous to
said route aud give his personal
supervision to the performance
of the duty."
This will prevent persons from
bidding for digereut routes, and
sub-letting the contracts to,
others at a lower contract price.
Another new provision is as fol
lows: "In addition to carryiug the
mails to the various post offices
ou the star routes covered by
this advertisement, the carrier
on each route, (except where
otherwise specifically stated),
will be also required to deliver
mail into all boxes that may be
erected along the route."
It is further provided that the
person living along tho route, who
desires to have his mail de

shall state his desire in writiug
aul erect a box by the roadside.
The carrier will receive no com
pensation for this delivery and

The Democratic meeting at the
court house Monday evening was
well attended. Citizens of both
political parlies were there. It
did not differ materially from po
litical nieetiugs in general. The
speakers wen; Hon. Albert B.
Osborne, of Erie;,! larry 15. Grim,
of IVrkasie, candidate for con
gressman at large, and Dr. Kn
tield, of Bedford. The McCou
nellsburg cornet baud furnished
the music for the occasion.
Political nieetiugs do no cut
the figure thev ouco did. Kvery
body now is iu touch with the
workings of the government,
through the newspapers. Every
body roads the platforms of both
or all political parties, and
judges for himself of their mer
its. The public schools, during
tho past decade at least, are ac
quainting tho rising generations
with the principles of our govern
ment, and tho dotal 's of the work
ing of the system.
A few years ago not out voter
in ten could tell you how a presi
dent was elected, or what were
his duties after reaching the of
fice. More than that, there were
many who did not know how
many officers were required for
the government of their own
township, or the duties of each.
Now, every intelligent school boy
has at his tongue's end an out line
of tho machinery that moves this
great republic, he understands
what lie reads about the doings
of public men or the policy of
parties, and has an acquaintance
with public men that leads him
to bo independent of the inllu
ences that once controlled the
suffrages of tho people.
Public speakers, instead of re
sorting to abuse appeal to reason,
aud men of every shade of politi
cal preference meet and listen;aud
seldom is a speaker thoughtless
enough to say anything that will
directly offend any one.

As the sturdy oaks that havo
towered above the forest for de
cades may be suddenly leveled to
the ground by some unexpected
tornado, so two of Brush Creek
valley's most respected citizens
who were in tho enjoyment of
usual health only a few days ago
are now resting in their eternal
home.
A friend writing from the Val
ley says:
Death has cast a deep shadow
over our valley, two-thirds of our
people mourn tho loss of a re
lative, and tho other third, that of
a valued friend.
Ou Friday. Sept. 28, 1900, tho
spirit of Mr. West Asa Akers
quietly took its flight to that un
seen world from which there is
no returning. He had been a
sufferer from typhoid fever and
it was not expected that ho would
recover. He left an aged com
panion aud six childreu, Charles
Erastus, Frank, and Jennie, who
are all married aud live iu the

Elliot, who ure married aud set
tled near Akersville. His re

Mr. Sid Gumpof Everett. After
alighting from his buggy on his

throughtheyardpulledotfacouple
of bunches of grapes and walked
across the yard and took a seatiu
company with his brothers Caleb
and Amos, aud Mason Barton.
He sat with fliem eating the
