Wm. Wink and son John, of
Licking Creek township were 'in
town Friday. William does not
come often.
Among the shoppers in town
Saturday were Watson Schooley
and wife, of Licking Creek town
ship, Mrs. Bennett Mellott and
son, of Needmore, and Mrs. D.
R. Mellott and son, of Sipes
Mills.
HIDES. Frank B. Sipes

for beef hides at ttieir butcher
shop in McConnellsburg, also

sheepskins and tallow.

Paul Harper, one of the paying
tellers of the Pittsburgh Trust
Company, and William M. Pat
terson, of the same city, have
been spending the past week at
the home of the latter's parents,
Hon. and Mrs. D. H. Patterson
at Webster Mills.
William Wilds, of Fort Little
Jon, returned to thi3 place last
week to work for his uncle; S. B.
Woollett. "Billy" was here dur
ing the spring months and plant
ed several truck patches. He
then went home to harvest. Bil
ly found that things had grown
while he was away some of
them too much.
Henry Stamp, of Texas, is
"hoofing" it from that state to
Philadelphia. After having
worked for Floyd Daniels, in
Licking Creek township for two
weeks, Stamp started on another
stretch of his tramp last Friday,
passing through here about noon.
He carried a complete camp out
fit, including a small tent.
Charles Mosser, near Upton,
visited his cousin, Dr. J. W.
Mosser several days this week.
Charles accompanied his brother
George and Mr. Shatzer to this
place Friday, with a herd of
eighty-four cattle which were
offered for sale at the Earl Mor
ton place west of town Saturday.
Several of the herd "played out"
on the way over Cove mountain,
but they followed several hours
after the main herd arrived.
Dane owls beat Webster Mills
snakes, for the former bite, but
so far, the latter have confined
their attention to mice instead of
to human beings and poultry.
The latest from Dane is that 0.
C.Wible had five half-grown tur
keys killed by an owl, and Allen
Brant had a turkey and a chick
en killed one night last week.
Not the least aggravating fea
ture about it is that the large
flocks of turks refuse ' to, come
home to roost since the invasion
of their former night quarters.
If snakes and owls are not "farm
ers' friends", they are proving
to be printers' friends, since they
furnish so many items for pub
lication. Last Friday evening at five
o'clock J. N. Sipes stepped into
Sheriff Harris' Ford and gave
the signal to start for the depot
at Mercersburg. Jim blew the
whistle rang the bell, opened the
throttle and in fifty-five minutes
made as majestic a turn and stop
alongside the C. V. platform as a
professional driver. When the
G:05 pulled into Mercersburg Mr.
Sipes received his daughter, Mrs.
J. V, Wilhelm and her children
Virginia, Mary Magdalene, and
Joseph Paul, of Homestead, Pa.
Placing them in the waiting car,
the signal was again given to
start, and at' seven o'clock the
passengers "disembarqued" in
front of the Sipes residence. The
visitors will spend the summer
here until school opens in the
fall. Crossing Cove Mountain
with a load of women and chil
dren places Jim in the full fledged
driver's class.
Ajr's Harvest Home Picnic,
UYKEV. It. E. PKTKKMAN
Would you like to hear the story
Of the Hoyul Harvest Feast?
Would you listen If I'd toll you':'
Would you carofor't lu the least?
Would It make your hoart beat faster?
Would It throw dull care away,
If the story of the picnic
In your ears were told to-day?
Would you ask me who has told me
Of this preut and happy day
VVheu the farmer and his family
Having housed away the hay.
Having put the wheat In safety.
Having finished with the harvest.
Then decided for a play
To be Kay, just for a day?
I would tell you I would tay;
'Tls the story of the Oak Tree,
The red squirrel, and the Jay,
As they tell It to the children
Of the woodland here to day.
'Tls the story of the farm life
In the shady rove; a day
Spent in laughing, sinking, talking,
In the happiest sort of way.
'Tib the story of the children
Who are here to work and play
In this world of joy and sadness,
Sing and dance and love and play
To make life a llttleswooter
To wipe away the tear
To put hope instead of fear
Into hearts that know the bitter
Pangs of sorrow and delay
Caused by raging money madness.
'Till the youthful locks are gray
'Tis the story of the children.
Would you like to know still further
Of whom it Is we sing this lay?
I would tell you I would say;
'Tis the land of Tuscaroas,
The Alleghenles and the Pultons
Where many families, tribes and na
tions Come together for the day,
From Northland, Southland, West
land, F.astland,
By ones and twos and scores and hun
dreds With baskets Tilled for self and others
Dressed In regular picnic array.
'Tls in the land of Kendalls and John
stons, Pattersons, Nelsons, Mellotts and
Coopers,
Comerers and Otts and others galore,
To mention them all would be to bore
You perhaps today when the Picnic is
o'er.
A thing which I surely would wish not
to do
Since this story Is intended for me
and for you.
From the hills and the valleys
They came driving and walking,
Frjm the Cabin and the mansion
From the lot and the farm,
As true sisters and brothers
Of just one great family, t
To think of life's sunshine
And do none any harm.
They have come from the land
Of tho cllp-a-clip-a-clip
Of the mower laying the grass upon
the ground;
And from the gather, gather, gather,
Of the One-IIorse-ltake,
Which today doesn't give fourth and
sound.
From the scatter, scatter, scatter,
Of the Bi,'-IIorso-Tedder,
And from the land of the groaning
Hay-fork
Where the one holds the lines
And the other carries water
Till the time for the beans and pork
From the land of the binder
With his brer-rer-rer-rer-rer,
As he binds the golden grain into
shoves:
From the land of the whlr-rer-rer-rer-
rer-machine
Where the chuck-a-chuck-a -chuck
Of the engine pulls with pluck
To make the grain stalks soft and
clean.
Picnic days like unto these
Hasten back sweet memories
Of the good old days when our grand
fathers used to live;
Who among us living here,
Would truly like to say "Oh, dear,
Oh, let me go back to the good old
days and live?"
So comrades, friends, and all,
Let us raise a mighty call
For Thanksgiving that we're living
now to day; dj
And that the past has gone
And forever it is gone
With its hardships and its sores to
yesterday.
