DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA. ’ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER zt 1929 | History Of Dallas (Continued From Last Week) At November sessions, 1820, the said | viewers made report as follows, to-wit: “We, the undersigned, appointed by the above court to run and make the lines therein mentioned, do report that | in pursuance of said order, we, ‘the| subscribers, being two of the above! named persons (having first been duly | sworn) went upon the ground and run| C described lines Ba marked the following between the townships of Union and Dallas, for the northeasterly boundary | of the township of Union, to-wit: Be- | ginning ‘at the mouth of Hunlock’s | Creek; thence north 11 degrees west, | 2 miles and 280 perches to the south- | east” (?. (west) “corner of the certi-| fied township of Bedford, and J being'| the southeast” (?) (west) “corner of | Dallas township; thence on the Bed- i ford line and a continuation of the same north, 34 degrees west, 15 miles and 100 perches to a hemlock marked | for a corner on the county line. Also run the following described lines be- tween the townships of Huntington | and Union, for the westerly boundary of Union, in the following manner, to-wit: Begining at the mouth of Shickshinny Creek; thence north; 63% degrees west, one mile and 280 perches to the northeasterly corner of Hunt- ington; then on the Huntington line and continuation of the same north, 21 | degrees west 14 miles and 150 perches | to a maple marked for a corner on the county line.” This report was filed and confirmed | nisi November: 8th, 1820, and was con- firmed absolutely on January 3rd, 1821. Bogardus did not sign this report] with the other viewers, probably be- cause, as will be seen by comparing | the maps that this view took a con-| siderable slice from the new township of Dallas and gave it to Union town- | ship without any compensation or ex-| I change. The year 1820 may be noted also as | the year when, under the new laws, the assessors of each township were | required to return the number of chil- | dren between the ages of five and twelve years, whose parents were un- able to pay for their schooling. No | report was made under this law for | Dallas township in 1820, but the next | year ,1881) Joseph L. Worthington. was) assessor, and under that law he re-| ported the children of Nicholas Keiser, | John Mann, David Wynkoop and David Davidson, eleven in all. There were one hundred and six taxables on the list for 1821. tI was, also the year in which Judge Baldwin died—date June 9th; age forty- -six | 8 years, eleven months and twenty- five | days. | 1821-1822. During this year Aaror | Burket conveys his land to William | Brigg and removes. John Eaton, far- | mer, Russell T. Green, shoemaker, and | Joseph Hoover became residents of Dallas township. Asa Fox sells to] Oliver Pettebone and removes. Ros- well Holcomb and John M. Little re- | move from township. John Orr buys | buys eight acres of land one log house of Jonah MecLellon. Deming Spencer | (the first white child born in the terri- tory of Dallas township) attained his | majority and appears first time as “single freeman” in assessment books. Also buys his father’s farm. Cornelius Sites, aw wheelwright, moves into the township and buys land of William | Newman. William Sites also moves in and buys of David Wynkoop. Nicholas Keiser’s children are the only ones: reported whose. parents are too poor to pay for their schooling. Total taxables, 118. 1822-1823. Joseph appears for first time in the assess- | ment books—is assessed with two | acres of land. Warren Davidson be- comes a ‘‘cooper” and Thomas Tuttle | a “wheelmaker.” Total taxables, 129. 1823-24. Very hard times. The | children of Joseph Wright; Jon) Thorn, Peter Gary, Aaron Dufty,| den were returnablem,7(lrOfi-gOWEu Nicholas Keiser and Nathan Wor- | den were returned, to be educated by the county, Became the parents were too poor. Among the persons last | named, Jolin Thorn was a character | deserving of a moment's special no- tice. He was always poor, Shiftless and lazy. He early became a charge | on the township and remained a town pauper the balance of his days. In| the midst of his greatest poverty he was given to boasting and high- sounding «talk. The poormasters of Dallas township were in the habit of giving him an occasional “poor order” | on some farmer or dealer for a few | dollars, which’ he could “trade out”, sand get something to eat. Backed with one of these “poor orders” John was for a time wealthy and assumed the importance of a capitalist.” ‘With it he would start for some store or farm house where he intended to trade it out. He usually began by asking the proprietor’ if this man’s order (pre- | ducing the poor order and pointing to | the name of the poormaster at the bottom) was good and would ‘be ac- cepted. While the order was being | read John would explain that the giver | or the maker of the order was owing him a considerable sum of money, and being short of ready cash, had asked him (John) to take this order; that | being always ‘willing to accommodate his neighbors, he had consented to ac- | cept this order provided it could be used the same as cash: On being as- sured that the order was good, John’s | next inquiry was usually for pickled | side pork of the cheapest grade. Feel-| that some apology or explanation | might be due, hewould generally add | that he had plenty of “gammons” at | home, but that they were still in the | process, of smoking or some other por- | tion of the curing treatment. All This and much more like it would occur, yet always with greatest seriousness on John’s part. He died only a few years ago. In one of his later illnesses a physician had been called, and had left | certain medicines to be given at cer- tain specified hours. John had no| clock or other time keeper in the house | and at night had no way of telling the i hour except by the crowing of the rooster, which he believed occurred every hour with regularity. One night John grew very much worse, and, thinking that the hour for taking his medicine had arrived, and that the] cock had gone to sleep or forgotten to | crow, sent his son John, Jr. out to | waken him and remind him of his yman’s name | the place of beginning. | to the place of beginning. | 14 | | No. | Court House, | Hirsch, et al. * SHERIFF'S SALE Saturday, Oct. 12, 1929, at 10 A.

The severe drought in many localities ~has been re-| sponible for this shortage to a great degree, as has premature heavy frosts in the northern tier counties. Oficers | report a very poor nut crop. Nuts are | falling without opening jand foliage is bady burned. In lieu of these conditions the tield | officers of the Game Commission have already been instructed to begin feed- operations. Corn is one of the best] foods to put out at this time, especially |; for turkeys and squirrels. , Mixed a. | grains will do well for rabbits and | | | | quail, although quail, like the Hun- garian partridge, confines his winter | diet almost entirely to weed seeds. | The ruffed grouse eats «many dif- | | ferent forms of winter food. It eats | the buds and termrinal twigs ‘of birch, i aspen, poplar, fire cherry, apple haw- | | thorne and wild rose. It is very fond of berries and pulpy" fruits, ch el huckleberries, winter-green heriond jack-in-the-pulpit, redhaws, rose ire black haws and apples. They often | eat leaves of the winter-green berry and laurel during winter. On the |? ground they find weed seeds, sn mall]? | acorns and beech nuts, and i I like the fruit of bittersweet, wild grapes | and Virginia creeper. Grouse do not often feed upon waste grain as they | do not come into the open as a rule Varieties of foods which can be used | at feeding shelters for game to ory good advantage include commercial scratch feed, good screens, commercial | chick feed, wheat, oats, rye, barleys, broom corn, millet and sunflower seed. {Feeding the deer is the problem of all for these creatures do | not respond favorably to hay and foa | der placed for them. They will es ! Iii esd greatest | | corn which is placed for turkeys; also and cull | | | they like unthreshed | apples. While the real necessity for placing | food will develop later when heavy | snows cover the ground, it must ba re- | membered that the more we provide for the wild creatures until that time | the better they will be able to with- | stand the severe winter months. Sportsmen’s organizations, farmers | Scouts, rural mail carriers and others] interested are asked to give the game-| feeding problem this winter their sor ious consideration. T.ocal game pro- | tectors will stand ready to assist i any way they can and will be only too | glad to point out the places in the | forests where Tool is ‘most scare. grains YOUR HAIR IN SUMMER | Ever singe the vogue of permanant | waving became a nation-wide institu- | tion women everywhere have paid less (attention to the care of their hair in| ‘summer than ever before. Once it was a [@itficult matter to keep straight hair |sofly curled and neatly arranged | through ' the warm, moist weather. | Women worked hard over their hair— | {they “fussed” with “it—spent much time and energy in keeping it smooth, shining and well groomed. | Now, fortified with a permanent | wave they face the summer season | (boldly.

A shampoo occasionally, |a moment for pushing the wave into I'place with the fingers, and the hair | lis forgotten for a week, except for the | | hasty care it gets during the daily | combing. All this saves time during vacation |days but it is exceedingly bad for the hair. Even permanently waved hair | needs careful wegular attention to keep it healthy and well-groomed looking. The operator who waved your hair {may have told you not’ to brush it— | that if you brushed it often the wave | would come out. But I warn you to brush, and to brush frequently. The | wave may be loosened slightly or it] ‘may not last quite so long, but your | hair will be softer and more shining. | The added gloss and life it has will [more than make up for a little less in wave.
