Eldridge’s family are all having the measles, also Lon Wood’s children began taking them Sunday. The quarterly meeting was well attended at McCoysburg Sunday. Quite a few from Lee were over to hear the district superintendent preach. John Wilkins Watseka, 111., last week to see a sister who is quite sick with typhoid fever. John has rented the F. W. Fisher farm, and will farm for himself the coming season. R. V. Johns took Roy Bussell around the latter’s mail route Saturday in his Oldsmobile, making the 25 miles in three hours and ten minutes, making 96 stops, over some pretty rough roads. The measles ,are gradually spreading. Simon Cook’s family have them and Myrtle Lewis is thought to be taking them. Reed McCoy is recovering nicely so far, and feels sure he can go to his store in three or four days. Geo. Auspach and family, of Paulding, Ohio, came to McCoysburg Friday evening to take charge of the former McCoy land, and has moved into the hous& beside Robt. McDonald’s store.

Wilson Bussell met with a very painful accident Saturday morning that might easily have proven fatal. He was driving a load of corn from one shock of corn to another, and was standing up on the front of the load driving, when the wagon hammer broke, releasing the team from the load quite suddenly, and as a result he was pitched violently to the ground striking on his forehead, inflicting some bad bruises and cutting quite a bunch of hair from his forehead, also injuring the back of his neck.
