17, 1902. This morning Roy Fleisher is leaving Milford. He is going on the Lehigh Val. ley railroad. He is an operator.

None like to see him go away and especially his best girl. Roy is a fine young man and will make friends wherever he goes. On Hallo'en night William Oren watched the boys so there would be no damage done around his place. He escaped that night, but since that he had been plowing and his plow disappeared. He hunted wherever he thought it might be but could not find it, so he was obliged borrow one until he might tind it.

A week or more passed without finding it. By chance some one saw it in Els. Kinzer's chicken house on the property not occupied. No one blames Kinzer for stealing it, for he is a stone mason. The hunters on Saturday caught seven rabbits and a few birds.

There were three from Harrisburg and L. W. Smith. Among the visitors to and fro was Mrs. Black and child from Harrisburg at Mogle's.

Mrs. Black is a sister of Mrs. Mogle. Charles Heble from Hunter's Valley at John Kochenderfer's. Mary Too.

mey to Alinda and Mary Smith to Donnally's Mills. There were quite a number walked to St. Samuel's church Sunday afternoon. J. E.

Toomey has his new barn under roof. They struck a nice time to put on the roof. All had their coats off. We don't often have such warm weather this time of the year. Isaiah Mitchell sold his farm to Mr.

Beaver, of Pfoutz's Valley. Mr. Mitchell has 8 nice farm in good order and is a Democrat. We don't like to loose him, although Mr. Beaver is highly recommended and we all welcome him.

This is court week. I am sorry to say we have a suit from Juniata township that not many like to -Gordon and Smith. They both have lots of friends and seem to be friends to each other. They have both bought new property and will depend on what neighhors will say. There has been a little dissatisfaction in our school.

The rules forbid talking and two girls were caught talking. They had the choice to take a whipping or stay in half hour for six days. The one girl says she thought it was not good manners not answer if she was talked to and so she answered. They both concluded to stay the half hour, but it seems to go pretty tough. We have an old, experienced teacher, perhaps the oldest the county, and it is supposed for him to know what is right.

LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 17, 1902. Mrs. Huggins died at the residence of her son-in-law, Jobn Thompson, on Friday night.

Carrie, daughter of William Portzline, is still down with typhoid fever and from last reports is not expected to recover. Albert E.

Deckard, son of Chas. E. Deckard, is also down with the dread disease, typhoid fever. He has been sick for about five weeks. His mother is also very sick, but not with the same disease.

California and the Pacific Coast resorts brve become so popular in recent years with the better class of winter rest and pleasure seekers that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has decided to run two Golden Gate tours this winter, one to include the famous Mardi Gras spectacle at New Orleans. On the going trip both tours will travel by the Golden Gate Special, one of the finest trains that crosses the continent. One tour will return by this train, while passengers by the other and later tour will use regular trains turning. In California, passengers will be entirely at their own pleasure in the matter of itinerary. Should a sufficiently large number of passengers desire to join in taking an itinerary suggested by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the services of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon will be at their disposal.

The first tour will leave New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Waskington, and other points on Thursday, January 29, and will travel via Chicago, Kansas City and El Paso to Los Angeles and San Diego, arriving at the latter point February 2. An entire month may be devoted to visiting California resorts, the Golden Gate Special leaving San Francisco on the return trip Tuesday, March 3, and returning via Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs, Colorado Springs, and Denver. The rate for this tour will be $300, covering all expenses of railroad transportation, including side trips in California, as well as berth and meals on the Golden Gate Special going and returning. No hotel expenses in California are included. Tickets are good for return trip for nine months, excepting that passengers who do not return on the Special must provide their own Pullman accommodations and meals eastbound.

Tour No. 2 will leave Thursday, February 19, by the Golden Gate Special. Cincinnati, Montgomery, and Mobile will be visited en route to New Orleans, where the party will stay during the Mardi Gras fes. tivitics. The train will be side tracked for occupancy during the three days spent in New Orleans.

Stops will also be made at Beaumont, Texas, Houston, Texas, San Antonio, and El Paso. The train will arrive at San Diego, February 28. So far as special train arrangements are concerned, this tour will be completed at San Diego. Passengers may dispose of their time in California as they see fit. Should a sufficient number desire to take a suggested trip through California, the services of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon will be placed at their disposal.

The rate for this tour will be $275, covering all railroad transportation for the entire trip, including side trips in California, seat at the Mardi Gras Festival, and Pullman berth and all meals on the Golden Gate special from New York until arrival at San Diego. Private compartments, i. 6., drawing rooms or state rooms, may be obtained by the payment of a additional charges on both tours. A detailed itinerary is in course of preparation, giving all information concerning these tours. Application should be made to George W.
