Mrs. Sherman Morris was taken sick Sunday and. her condition became such that a doctor was called out to see her. The trustee and advisory board meet at McCoysburg Tuesday for the purpose of receiving bids for school supplies for the coming school year. Grandma Zabel has been very poorly for the past few days. Friday her condition became almost alarming. However she is very aged and her death is not unexpected at any time. Work was begun on the White county stone road Saturday. A crusher will be installed on the farm where J. C. Ireland lives. Having the material so close at hand, the construction work should proceed rapidly. Joseph Stewart, township president of Sunday schools, visited the McCoysburg Sunday school, Sunday, and set the date for the township convention and arranged the program. It will take place Sunday, August 13th, at 2 P. M. The convention has been delayed for some weeks on account of the sickness of the county president’s wife, Mrs. A. L. Way mire. The program will only be about two hours long, and it is hoped every one will come with the desire of making every moment interesting and instructive. Everybody welcome.
