CAUGHT BY THE WAYSIDE. By PENCIL POINT. William Atkinson was the recent loser of a cow and two pigs. George McKinsey had a cow that was badly damaged by being bumped by another and knocked off a bank into a stream below. Her tail is broken, her back badly scratched and a lump as big as a cabbage has appeared on her brisket. It is reported that Brentice McVey who at one time resided in this vicinity died feveral weeks ago in Chester county. It is stated that an Oxford store keeper sells home made sauerkrout and this winter in waiting on a customer a clerk found a set of false teeth in the krout barrel. The proprietor’s wife on hear ing of it said, “Why I have looked for that set for six months.*’ Apropos to the question of securing sufficient help oh the farm a gentleman who resides in this vicinity was during his early days a driver for one of the vans across the plains of the great West, says that he remembers of a young fellow who went to a farmer for employment. He was told that he would be given $lB a month and found. The seeker of labor asked how many acres there were in the place. “8,000 in cultivation,’’ cime the reply, “and I have just bought another thousand.” "How many hands do you employ?” “Four besides myself making five,” '‘well then you can look for some one else.” And then some people will really laugh at the old joke of the farmer whose place was so big that when he started out to feed his pigs he never got back ’till the week-following. That birds of a feather, Always flock together Is an epigram absurd; For in this connection, The rule is an exception; Now', Mark you ! A Flounder fell in love with a Dickey bird. * Joseph Haines shot 5 dippers on the dam last Friday. Born on April 26th the first rain bow of the year 1907. George Hunter has erected for Samuel Taylor a parlor for his hearse. The accommodations for the "last rider” are in the rear of Mr. Taylor’s stable. A gentleman who is frequently seen on our streets is an agent for a twice-over-mortgaged property in Chester county. Unknown to the holders of the recorded bill-of-sale, he and the tenant (since we understand has removed) sold everything on the place that could be moved with anything less than two horses and anything larger was knocked down to fit the wagon. Bridges over runs, small buildings, trees, in fact most everything except the house and barn and even they we re thoroughly gone over and air space increased on the inside. The place looks like the heart of Africa upside down but not as much as the unattentive mortgage holder will betwhen tbe matter is brought to his or her notice. Evans Ewing on a summer day, Searched his book from which to play Upon his slide trombone, new. He fain would play a note or two, And jerk the slide in and out, * Shocking the sound waves ’round about. And folks who reside far and near, Were jarred as if by a quake, I fear. The Choir Invincible, they dried up, Then drank again from the flowing cup,— Couldn’t sing if not feeling good— Flooded the cracks as best they could. A Shepherd, of the Rising Sun fame, They persuaded to get into the game. But when he observed that man was weak, Ho up and out—he took a sneak. Evan 9 with his brand new horn, Made them “ sick,” so they caught up the “ corn.” For noise it certainly took the cake,— Was loud enough to quickly wake The dead who lie in Sleepy Hollow, And if it continues we will surely follow. The horn, like the rest of U 9, Will some day turn to nature’s dust. It will dry up, but not ’till we UP Are either or in eternity. DOWN We suggest to the Commissioners of Cecil county that they appoint Miss-Margaret Phillips ?as road supervisor between Rising Sun and Cecil ■'Paper Mill. Seek ye the job while it may be jj found. • ' Some claim to locate the steeple of the Oxford Presbyterian church from Rock Springs but find it easier to locate the town by its saloons. Measles are in'full bloom in the vicinity of Porters’ Biidge. William T. Scott wishes us to deny the report of his demise, so freely circulated on Wednesday, and which, he declares, in the lan guage of Mark Twain, was greatly exaggerated. If you would know the value of a dollar, try and borrow one, was good Ben-Franklin logic but he left it to a negro gentleman of our community to put it into practice, to the delight of his own heart and blue feelings over sore spots in the frames of the lenders. About sllO is the amount folks were gently touched for. By his brilliant countenance and suave manner he touched the heart and purse strings of his hearers. One of our prominent farmers was so chicken-hearted that he let the borrower have a “Wayne dot.” One of our most respected of men, a roan whom we personallv admire and yet on account of his business “would be the last man in the world to do anything for us,” was pulled lor a few X’s and it is a toss up, • Tayl-or” head whether he will ever receive that which he gave. One of our merchants was also taken in by the borrower’s persistent “hammer ing.” and now that Mr Merchant realizes that he was only taken for a t(f)ool he would like to put the “screws” on him. It is easier lor a negro to borrow money than it is for a white man to buy on credit. With his head buried in the flank of a half milked cow, a teat in each hand and snoring not unlike the grind of Hilton’s Mill, a farmer’s sou slept one morniDg while dad milked 16 cows. Pop let him have his sleep out and then gave fair warning, and the next morning was compelled to raise the youngster two inches off the stool with a rope. Lewis A. Kirk, of Port Deposit, was recently waylaid on the lonely road of life between Single ton and Bachelorville by a band of cupidians who captured him and sacrificed him on the altar of love. A reward of a dollar marriage license was offered lor his body, happy or not. It is possible that Messrs. E. R. Buffington & Sons of this town and the captives were in cohesion because that firm recently sold and placed in Mr. Kirk’s bank ing quarters iu Port a car load of furniture of a high grade. It has been suggested that Mr. E. B. Bufflugton have his wiifd mill in the meadow removed nearer the rail road negotiations be opened with the Pennsylvania R. R. Company for the use of the tail or of the mill as a signal. The County Commissioners may be requested to fence in a narrow laud between the Joseph Haines and Lincoln brothers farms. A road is needed between the two pioiuts mentioned, which if cut bias, across the fieldV will save the expense of piking, for it is already paved, an expense that nature would save the cfcmnty. The road be tween Wayne Reynolds and town it in need 4* Scott’s Emulsion strengthens enfeebled O nursing mothers by increasing their flesh and ? 9 nerve force. *o* It provides baby with the necessary fat Qt Rof and mineral food for healthy growth. ALL DRUGGISTS; SOc. AND SI.OO. A blessed with the base of tbe Rock of Ages made an offer to the Commissioners to furnish all the store necessary, and two teams free of all charges to tbe county if they would pay the two teamsters and pike the road. The offer was refused. There are men who once owned farms in this vicinity, who are now sleeping their last snooze under the crust of Cecil county soil, who spent years of their life in burying rocks, deep, deep in the ground and which are now becoming exposed again, the opin ion being that they work their way to the earth’s surface caused by the rotation of the globe. Rocks that were buried, even only six years ago, are again coming to the front. The Penns* lvania railroad company has frequently been compelled to rebury them along the lines after an interment of eighteen years. Fremers who pay out their rocks for farms should not expect to labor in fields of roses. Life is a stratum of stony ground and after death there are grounds for a stone above uf. WEST NOTTINGHAM. Calvin Riley’s youngest child is lying very ill, with but faint hopes of its recovery. Misses Mary and Clara Brumfield were recent visitors at their home in Colors. Miss Cora Shafer, of Baltimore, was an over-Sunday visitor at the home of H. D. •. Keen. The funeral of George Balderston was largely attended on Wednesday. Mrs. Wilbert Maxwell attended the funeral of her brother, Frank Winchester, from the home of her mother at Perry ville, on Wednesday. The deceased had 1 been spending a short time at his former home in Perryville, having returned from Philadelphia a few days previous in the hope of regaining his impared health and suddenly dropped dead while walking across the room. A. S. Elliott, of RichardsmiH, received a large number of souvenir cards last week in honor of his 72nd birthday.

Mrs. Henry Riley visited Mrs. Albert Reynolds one day last week. Little Master Walter Huss received 12 post cards from friends in Philadelphia and Coatesville. Kennard Riley intends to open a hardware store in the near future. Thieves appear to be prevalent in our neighborhood here of late. While Miss A. B. Durham was serving her route last week; thieves entered her home and took there from a valuable fowl which she prized very highly, it being presented to her by Mrs. Amos Moore and weighing between thirteen and fourteen pounds. Also tbe same day they stole about a cart load of wood from her shed. People who do not work must be fed. Albert Huss and K. M. Riley went scoopiDg one night last week, the amount of herring being caught num bered seven. Mrs. Rebecca Green visited Mrs. Walter Riley one day last week. Henry Riley sold a valuable sow last week, tbe price netting him about $45. Miss Maud Mecaslin, of Rock Springs, wishes to thank her many friends for the beautiful souvenir post cards she received on April 22, as a pleasant reminder of her nth birthday. She received 50 cards, 3 letters and 7 handkerchiefs, a lovely gold watch chain from her father and a lovely ring from her mother in remembrance.
