CHIPS FROM THE REPORTER’S WORK BENCH. BY PENCIL POINT, Mrs. Laura Miller oi Lapidura, is a guest of Mrs. John Miller. We are pleased to note, That it will not be necessary for "Aus” to go a “ragan” for the Kagan vote. The question of trespassing chickens has bad several Rising Sun families at “a foul” for several weeks past. • Potatoes have been flocking to Sylmar the past week at 53 cents. If in search for a house keeper you might find most suitable ones at North East. “Ike” Riale held a sociable at Sam Pierce’s last Friday evening that was well attended. Why is the republican candidate for Governor like an old Gait(h)er? It’s good for "de feet.” If you go fishing for suckers keep away from the peelers in the canning houses, or by gosh, Josh Hering. James Brown had a sinking spell recently and is in a precarious condition. A nut from a bolt became lodged in the gear cogs of the hay packer belonging to Amos Crowl and tore things asunder. John MiUer found a big fat purse between Rising Sun and his farm. Owner can obtain same by proving property. The porch of Snyder’s restaurant is becoming a nightly rendezvous for melon parties. Lack of orders for spar to the Keystone quarry was, it is said, the cause of that concern closing shop, because of too much iron ore in its product. Gaither need not expect to slip into Annapolis by the gum shoe method. There is a newspaper in Elkton that when it comes to “out fitting” can furnish Gaither with anything from one’s Wig to dc feet. If you don’t wish your name in the paper, don’t be born. This will keep your “designated’ out of print and therefor you nor your friends will never be bothered by reports at your wedding or ftmeral. Don’t live at all if you wish to avoid trouble. Your friend who will put you in such a shape that you are a whole show in yourself and a circus to every one else, so that you can not tell an ape from an elephant on your hands, is no friend of yours. Whiskey is an enemy to many of our men. But then are we not told to love our enemies. Curtis Hall of Principio, Joseph Tosh and family, of near Oxford, were recent guests of the James M. Tosh family. One of our neighbors recently traded his horse for another, one that is proficient in balking from start to finish. He drove to Port recently, had much trouble in getting there and when he did the horse absolutely refused to return. The animal was left there to spend the night and coaxed back to the “Sun” by the aid of another the day following. The equinine has not since been out of the stable. When you come to think of it “Aus” was cut out for a salesman, judging by the “firm” grip which he carries. But then the successful sales man is such a talking machine that he requires a governor. Distill into the minds of your children that of applying the Golden Rule. If they don’t, apply the golden rod. Who is it in the Rising Sun whose initials stand for the last day of the week ? Women are queer. “Aus” is an old bachelor but we will wager a vote that he knows how to “govern-her.” Patronize home industry. The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof. Our under takers would likely be glad to furnish ice cream, cucumbers and crabs if you will do the eating. After 19 years of faithful service, 10 of which were spent in the family of John Ferguson. Dawn, a pet horse, dropped dead in the road be tween Porters Bridge and Rock Springs. To be driven to Wilmington and return in one day was his hobby, and won in his early days many thous ands of dollars on a track in that town. The day is dark for John, Who now has no*nag to ride upon. Life’s sunset came before the Dawn. And closed a career, that of well done. According to the price of feed the automobile has not as yet supplemented the horse.' A gentleman of this town recently took his wife on a trip to a place in Pennsylvania, that is dear to the.hearts of the farmers and to the makers of farm machinery. After their arrival, they sought a resting place for the night, for which they paid in advance, one dollar, and thenstruted ’round about sightseeing. They became acquainted with a lady from Knickerbocker town, who according to reports was a cross between a Vanderbilt and a Gould. She was informed by the Rising Sun couple they intended to spend the night, but she kindly advised them not to do so, for the house was infested with bed bugs and they would certainly be consumed. Realizing Rising Sun could not afford to loose any residents and having che welfare of their native town at heart they returned to their future roost and requested the return of the dollar. This the lady of the house refused to do, but finally agreed to give back 75 cants, which was welcomely received on the part of our travelers. Boarding a train they departed for Harrisburg, thence to Philadelphia and then to the Rising Sun where bed bugs never are given a chance to grow whiskers. Roasting ears are now begining to get huskey. Com cuttin’ time will soon be here, While the old man’s been cuttin’ his corns year after year. The season for colic and cucumbers is fading away. While out driving lAst Sunday the colt of Gar field Brinton became suddenly lame and is not able to be about. Ike Riale has been elected by the town board as bailiff to succeed Jacob Jenkins. Charles Ferguson of the Cecil Paper Mill, will remove to the house of the late Henry Phillips. ’Tis reported that several speakeasies have been in operation near Sylmar. The saloon keepers who conduct business around the boarders of Cedi county have never ben known to reduce anything except the whiskey. Miss Arlene Atkinson, who last year taught the Franklin school at Farmington, has been granted tranch leave, and Miss Holt who according to re ports had the underhold has been installed in Miss Atkinson’s stead. Mrs. Hanna Jackson desires to thank some fifty friends for a kindly post-card surprise. Some miscreant, possibly without the knowl edge of the law in suoh cases, tore down John Miller’s mail box. Wm. Fowler may possibly move to Harrisburg instead of Anne Arundel county. Three kegs of beerdelighted.Rising Sun folks last Sunday. A free hand fight between two of our young men with a mother of one of them badly mixed, graced the tquare last Saturday night. The bursting of a steam pipe in Rock Springs canning house caused great alarm among the employee*.

A ALL DRUGGISTS: SOc. AND <I.OO 43 Mr. Harvey Hill is improving his dwelling with a new double porch, back and front. Misses Lena and Olie Himes have returned to their home in Conowingo alter spending several days in Oxford with their aunt, Mrs. Snavely. James Little, the old sea captain,and his gallant sailors on board the steamship Tempest Fighter narrowly escaped going to the bottom with their craft when she struck a rock in the Susquehanna. They climbed the mast, from the top of which the American colors floated over the submerged ves sel, and were finally rescued. The mate declines to go to sea again until a full complement of life preservers is provided. CALVERT. Miss Mary Craig is home after spending several weeks in Newark and Chester.

The School Commissioners were in regular session last week. The following teachers having raised ten or more dollars for library purposes, the Board added ten in each case: Miss Bessie M. Gallaher, No. 2, Fourth; Miss Annie C Fulton, No. 4, Eight; Miss Mabel R. Wiley, No. 11, Sixth; Miss Jennie R. , Anderson, No. 4, Fourth; Miss H. C. Hartnett, No. 1. Third; E. B. Fockler, No. 5, Fifth, North East High School. The bids for coal for First district, opened at last meeting, being the same, it was referred to the Superintendent who has awarded, it on new proposals, to J. Frank Burton, at $6.93 per ton, being the lowest bidder. On motion of Mr. Garey, the Barksdale School was reopened, to be under the immediate jurisdiction of the Board, with Miss Sarah Scott as teacher. The Board granted $lO for furniture to Chesapeake City High School. The matter of securing a room for the : colored school at Rowlandville was re ferred to Dr. Jenness. Miss Arline Atkinson resigned as teacher of School No 2, Sixth district. The following appointments were con firmed; —Miss H. Maude Kirk, No. 5, Sixth; Miss R. R.

Maffitt and others asking that the pupils of Warburton School, 1 Third district, be transported to the North East High School by the new school ! wagon. As a teacher had been appointed , for said school prior to the receipt of said petition and has been confirmed by the 3 Board, it was deemed unwise and unjust 1 to said Warburton School to grant said a petition at this time, but that action will probably be taken looking to the closing f of the said school and the establishment of said transportation during the school 1- year 1908-9. a '• • Th" Great Home Newspaper, 8 THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS daily one year and a razor made from best Sheffield steel fully guaranteed and that retails for $2.00, both for THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS. n This means a value of $5.00 for a trifle more d than THE DAILY PRESS alone one year.
