Mr. John W. Shimer, of Mc
Kees Rocks, Pa., who has a nice
position with the Lake Erie rail
road people, is spending his an
nual vacation in the home of his
mother, Mrs. James Shimer.
That is, John is at the home of
his mother when he is not out in
the woods hunting squirrels.
Mrs. William Tauscher (Daisy
Polk) writes us to send her copy
of The Fulton County News to
Cash Depot, S. C, as she and
hr husband are there to spend
the winter. Daisy says there is
no use to try to keep house with
out The Fulton County News
to keep her in touch with "dear
old Fulton."
Taking advantage of the nice
weather. Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Stoner took a drive last Sun
day, and kept going until they
reached Greenhill, when they re
turned to town. Mrs. Stoner has
been practically confined to her
home for a long time as the re
suit of rheumatism, and seldom
risks a trip out from home.
Visitors in the home of William
Ott and family on the 25th ult
were his son Kussell. his son
Daniel and wife and little daugh
ter Drucilla all of Edenville, Pa
Howard Swope, of Shippensburg
John W. Ott, wife, daughter Rel
la, and sons George and Howard
Ursa Tritle: Esther, Joseph and
Edear Thomas, and Luther
Crouse.
Since the advent of the auto
mobile affording speedy and safe
transportation, many hunters
from western Pennsylvania are
finding their way into this coun
ty. The' Greenhill House has
baen taxed to its limit during the
last few days in accommodating
hunters of both sexes, who find
much pleasure in exploring the
beautiful ravines along the east
em slope of Sideling Hill.
Mr. C. A. Henry, who is very
successfully engaged in the mer
cantile business at Robertsdale
spent a few hours in town Mon
day, while his father John A,
Henry was attending a meeting
of the directors of the First Na
tional Bank. Mr. Henry says the
mines at Robertsdale are running
at their full capacity and large
shipments of the black diamonds
are made from that point every
day.
The western Pennsylvania par
ty of ladies and gentlemen who
were with the local editor on a
hunting trip to Taylor township
a few days ago, were enthusiastic
over the kindness and liberality
of Mr. J. F. Johnson, who heaped
the auto with luscious fall pears
and nearly a bushel of nuts. We
feel almost certain that the little
French Canadian lassie will be
back in that neighborhood next
fall for more pears.
After having spent thirteen
years in Wisconsin, Mr. and Mrs.
Newton Summers and their fam
ily with the exception of one
daughter who is' teaching in the
public schools, returned to this
county last week, and expect to
stay in the East, at least until
next spring-perhaps longer, if
he strikes a farm that suits him
Newt, however, says the stones
on Fulton county farms do not
look as good to him as they once
did.
CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
A MINNESOTA REGIMENT AT
GETTYSBURG.
By A. W. MACY.
At a critical Juncture during
the battle of Gettysburg, when
the Confederates were pressing
hard at a certain point, Gerv
eral Hancock rode up to a body
of soldiers and Inquired "What
regiment Is this7" "The First
Minnesota," was the response.
"Charge that line," commanded
Hancock. Not all the regiment
was there, only eight compa
nies, 262 men; while the foe
against whom they were to hurl
themselves were many tlmea
that number. But It was theirs
not to make reply or reason
why, and not for one moment
did they think Hancock had
blundered. Into that gate of
death they plunged, while ar
tillery and musketry raked them
with shot and shell. Straight
to the mark they went, and
they accomplished what they
were sent to do: they checked
the enemy's advance and held
the ground till reinforcements
came up. But at the end of
that awful fifteen minutes fifty
of the 262 lay dead, one hun
dred and ssventy-flve were
wounded, and thirty-seven held
the line of battle."

NATURE'S WARNING.

the Sweet Girl's Love Was
Centered.
'
The pork-packer's daughter waa
won. Amid the sumptuous trappings
of wealth and luxury she plighted her
troth with the suitor who bad crossed
the Bean to besiege her heart.
"Are you sure, my darling," he mur
mured, as they stood together be
neath the gorgeous chandelier, "that
you love me for myself alone?"
"Charles James Edward," she an
swered, "I am sure."
"Thon listen."- With courtly grace
be led her to a seat.
"My beloved," he said, tenderly, "I
have purposely refrained from telling
you about my family, In order that
you might be governed In forming
your estimate of me by considerations
of personal worth."
"Charles James Edward!"
A world of love and trust spake she
in those simple words.
"Of course, sweet girl, you know I
am of noble lineage?"
A warm glance and a gentle pres
sure of the hand formed her reply.
"And you are aware that my peo
ple are among the proudest of the
proud. Tut are you prepared to know
" He bent low and whispered "
that the blood of a king courses In my
veins?"
"Yes " She smiled engaglnly.
"I am not surprised. I am informed
that there is some dreadful scandal
about every one of these aristocratic
families. And did it get Into the
courts, dearest?"
Yes, it was for himself alone that
she loved him. Puck.

Just now during the hunting

alike are interested in the law

FAMOUS WALNUTS ARE GOING
Woodmen Cutting Illinois Tract of 400
Acres That Has Never Before
Been Touched.
Woodmen entered the Makemson
tract of timber four miles east or
Danville, October 1, and began cutting
the world's largest forest of virgin
walnut timber. For the first time In
the memory of the oldest inhabitant
wo('dmrn were allowed to enter the
400-acre tract, which was closed to
the inspection of all save the close
friMids of Hiram Makemson during
his life.
The forest land came into the pos
sesion of the Makemson family by
means of a government land patent.
lly both Hiram and his son it was
held sacred. All about the tract were
well-tilled acres, but not even stock
was permitted in the wooded park un
til after the death of its Jealous
eunrdian. some months ago. In set
tling up the estate a sale was ordered
by the court. An Indiana firm of luin
ber buyers purchased the walnut, pay
lng $95,000 for the timber Just as it
stands. The ash timber brought $20,-
000 more, while the hickory, elm, and
oak and smaller timber brought the
total price for the standing timber
close to 1150,000. Bloomlngton (111.)
