sources. The town is four good miles
west of Rockwood and two and one- |
half miles east of Markleton, the |
re
on the main line of the B. & O. rail
road, while the Casselman river flows
along the edge of the town and be-
tween the B.& O.and W M. railroads.
The population of the town is some-
thing like 250 The men are engaged
largely in railroading and mining.
This latter industry in the past had
been a very thriving and remunera-
tive means of a livelihood. Recently
the miners have. been discouraged
and a number have left the hamlet,
not knowing whether the mines will
resume operations in the near future
or not. From the railroad station the
town is on a beautiful slope. The
streets are laid out for a steady
growth of the town, and if the possi-
bilities of the town are realized Cas-
selman will yet be one of the large
towns of the county.
The agent at the B. & O. station is
taking pride in the plot around the
station and if the weather is propi-
tious, and other conditions fayorable;,
he will have a beautiful green plot
surrounde by flowers.

owned by Mrs. A. Weimer, whose
son is the general manager, and H.
W. Hile is the proprietor of the other,

building is the attractive centre of
voung America for the educational
training.
The U. B. Church is the only church
located in the village. Rev. E. KH.
House is the popular pastor, who
preaches not only in the village but
in addition has three other appoint-
ments. 2
W. D. Zufall is the burgess, and in
fact is a useful citizen. He is also
assessor, tax collector and fire
marshal.
There are some very interesting
characters in the town, one of whom
is Mr. Cook, a one armed veteran of
the Civil War and also a veteran of
the B. & O. railroad. He is about 82
years old, yet does not seem near
that age. Another veteran of the
Civil War is Aaron Lape, not so old
as Mr. Cook by ten years, but a man
interesting, courteous and active.
On Monday Miss Etta Rupp, daugh-
ter of M. W. Rupp, and Migs Lillian
Miller, daughter of Jeremiah Miller
of Fort Hill, left for Merricourt, N. D.

ID you ever notice when one of
the wheels of your loaded wagon
dropped into a rut or bumped over
a stone how the seat springs gave
and rebounded, almost throwing
you off? That is an indication of the shock
and strain that the rigid spokes and axles have
to stand whenever the wagon is traveling over
a rough road or through a field. The IHC
wagons your local dealer sells
New Bettendorf
Columbus or Steel King
take these stresses and strains as a matter of
course. From neckyoke to tail board they are
built of selected, air-dried lumber, strong and
tough, bending to strains but coming back as
straight and true as ever when the load is
removed. Besides being tough, IH C wagons
are light running. The wheels have just the
right pitch and gather, and run true. All skeins
and skein boxes are paired. The running gear
is assembled by skilled workmen whose wages
depend as much on the quality as on the quan-
tity of the work they turn out. Consequently,
1 H C wagons are practically all of the same
high standard of quality throughout.
Weber and Columbus wagons have wood
gears; New Bettendorf and Steel King have
steel gears. IH C local dealers sell the wagon
best suited to your work and conditions. Get
catalogues and literature from them, or, ade
dress your request to ;
