LIBRARY AUCTION NEEDS
PONY OR GOAT AND WAGON
FOR RIDES FOR CHILDREN
— Rs
Has anybody a pony to lend
to the Library Auction? Chil-
dren expect pony rides, and so
far this year no pony has been:
offered for their use. It is no
strain on the pony. An at-
tendant leads him up and
down a short block on Lehman
Avenue. The pony gets bored,
but he is doing his bit for the
support of the Back Mountain
Library.
If there is no pony, perhaps
there is a goat and goat-cart
available. If you have a pony
or a goat, call Mrs. Hicks at
the Dallas Post.

Stork Races To Arrive
On Two Anniversaries
Little Tommy Murray, born June
24 at General Hospital to Mr. and
Mrs. James Murray of Plymouth,
arrived at a time best calculated
to please his grandparents and his
greatgrandparents. It was the 58th
wedding anniversary for his great-
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin
K. Elston, of Kunkle; and just half
that span for his grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. Owen Ide, also of Kunkle,
who were marking their 29th an-
niversary. There was a question in
everybody's mind as to whether
midnight would beat the stork, or
the stork beat the stroke of twelve,
but the baby arrived on time.
Mrs. Murray is the former Jane
Ide, and Tommy is her first child,
also the first grandchild for the
Owen Ide’s. But it’s old stuff for
the Elstons. Tommy makes their
22nd greatgrandchild.

Dear Editor:
+ Will you please mail The Dallas
Post to Mrs. Ethel Olver c/o Mrs.
Frank Kurfess, Dry Run Road, RD 2
Monongahela, Pa.
The Post means a lot to mother.
She still cannot stand up and in
general is in poor health. I for-
warded a batch of them to her
this morning.
We do enormously appreciate
having them. Also congratulate you
on the type paper you run. It gets
better every issue.

finer or more patient character

Superintendent of the Metho-
dist Church; widowed with
three small children, she turned
to music to support her little
_ brood. Her only son, Lincoln,
just coming into fine young
manhood, was run down and

highway at dusk near Hill's
Greenhouse. Both as teacher
and organist, she was known to
hundreds in the Back Mountain

a stroke. Here is a woman who
has borne tragedy ‘and without
complaint. My kind of Christian

Hi, Neighbor—
I'm sure you saw this (a copy

print of Barnyand Notes) but in
case you didn’t, here it is. You and

lot in common: You both run un-
usually fine small-town weeklies. I
feel just the way you do about
Wellsboro—it’s a gem of a town.

The Diary Of A Bible
January 15—Been resting quiet-
ly for a week. The first few nights
after the first of the year my owner
read me regularly, but has for-
gotten me I guess.
February 2—Clean up. I was
dusted with other things, and put
back in my place.
February 8—Owner used me for
a short time this afternoon looking
up a few references; went to Sun-
day School. :
March 7—Clean up; dusted, and
put in my old place again. Have
been down in the lower hall since
my trip to Sunday School.
April 12—Busy day, owner led
devotions at mission circle, and had
to look up references; had an awful
time finding them, though they
were in the right place all the time.
May 5—In Grandma’s lap all
afternoon. She is here on a visit.
She let a tear drop fall on Colos-
sians, second chapter, verses 3-7,
steadfastness.
May 6—In Grandma's lap again
this afternoon. She. spent most of
her time on First Corinthians 13,
and the last four verses of the
fifteenth chapter, “charity, stead-
fast, unmovable.
May 7, 8, 9—In Grandma’s lap
every afternoon now. It’s quite
comfortable. Sometimes she reads
me and sometimes she quotes from
me with her eyes closed.
May 10—Grandma gone; back in
the old place again. She kissed me
goodbye.
June 3—Had a couple of four
leaf clovers stuck in me today.
July 1—Packed in a trunk with
clothes and things. Off on a vaca-
tion, I guess.
July 2-7—Still in the trunk,
though nearly everything else has
been taken out.
July 15—Home again, and in my
old place. Quite a journey, though
I don’t see why I was taken.
August 1—Rather stuffy and hot.
Have two magazines and a novel
and an old hat on top of me; wish
they would take them off.
September 5—Clean up; dusted
and set right again.
September 10—Used by Mary a
few minutes today. She was writ-
ing a letter to a friend whose
brother had died, and wanted an
appropriate verse.
September 30—Cleaned up again.
