We will see to it that he fish caught do not grow larg ' r by this time next week they o, sometimes, you know. Little Pearl Rhodes made her irst trip to McConnellsburg last Saturday. Pearl is a very sweet ittle girl who adopted Mr. and 'Irs. W. Scott Brant as her fos er parents, over a year ago. Jr. and Mrs. Brant are expert t raising turkeys; but when it mes to finding hidden nests, 'earl can spy them first Mrs. David Sipes, who recently noved from the toll gate west of own to her property on Walnut treet, in this place, had the mis ortune to break both bone3 in er right forearm Sunday, when he tripped on a board in the ack yard and fell. Dr. Robin on wa3 immediately called, and e succeeded in reducing the racture before any inflammation 1 nd swelling had taken place. E. E. Wilvert, of Harrisburg, assed through this place last "day on his way to the Pacific oast. Mr. Wilvert is making the urney on stilts. By means of t'lts which are concealed by nT trousers, he looks like a man Jf ten feet eight inches in height Pair of shoes fitted to the feet" of the stilts completed the 1 eception and he attracts much otice wherever he appears. Merril W. Nace had the mis jrtune to sprain' one of his an tes last Thursday, and for sev al days was, forced to use a toutcane. The accident hap ; ened when he tried to pull a ; mb out of the top of a tree by ' Jeans of a rope; when the limb pted to fall he ran backwards f escape being hit and his ankle pied under with the above pit. i0n Mnday the following lime- ns were fired in Ayr township: hj tt'"uku, jonn neinoaugn, liPnrrr IT-.- l u L. niaJ:ey,ed kiln, and George fY reaa 4-eye kiln.

' ' J About ten days or two weeks ago Conrad Glazier of Ayr town ship, pricked one of his knuckles to the bone with a penknife; tur pentine was used freely on the cut at once, but in a few days infection set in and for a week he suffered great pain in his arm, shoulder and neck. Dr. Mosser was consulted and opened the wound to let out pus; at last re port the swelling and pain had been very much reduced. Farmers needing extra help during the summer months can be supplied by sending their ad dress to State College, at State College, Pa. Most of the stu dents in the agricultural depart ment are anxious to spend their vacation on a farm; and some of them are far enough advanced to intelligently discuss farm prob lems with their employer. These students will not expect any more wages than other workmen, and a3 a'rule, are good fellows. Frank Mason who had been con fined to his room at various peri ods during the past winter, has improved, and has been out more or less recently, although on crutches. His trouble is not from rheumatism, as has been general ly supposed: his affliction dates back to September 1910, when he, almost unaided, attended six typhoid fever cases, for four weeks, in the family of his wife's sister, Mrs. Henry H. Deshone. Under this ordeal his physical strength gave way and one of his feet became affected, remain ing numb ever since, and it is growing worse, so that he will go to a Baltimore hospital if a cure be not effected soon. New Millinery Goods. Miss Mary Wilkinson found it necessary to make the second trip to Philadelphia to replenish her stock of hats and millinery goods. She expects to have a new stock of the very latest hats and trimmings by the last of the week. Her store is just opposite the Public School building. Mrs. Warner. Mrs Elizabeth Lockard Warner died at her home in Toledo, Ohio, April 7, 1914, after an illness of about two months' suffering from stomach trouble and advanced age, she having reached almost the four-score limit. She left one son, Howard M. .Warner, also of Toledo. Mrs. Warner was born in Bedford county, but went to Ohio several years ago. Surprise Party. On April 12 th, about fifty friends of Mrs. Margaret Rich ards greatly surprised her by gathering at her home while she was temporarily absent in the forenoon. Mrs". Richards receiv ed many presents. A bountiful dinner was served, and good fel lowship prevailed throughout the day, so that when time to leave came, all wished Mrs. Richards many happy returns of the day. NEEDMORE.
