It was made for the row of tenement houses x>n the side of the road and is a much needed convenience, as heretofore the} had to carry water quite a distance. Jmes McDonald, of Maxwell, lowa is here for a visit with relatives ans friends. Jim was formerly a resident of McCoysburg for a good many years, at one time being a partner with A. McCoy here. Elmer Ross is still just about holding his own, and may be a little better. His fever has been two degrees above normial for several days, but his chances for recovery are about tvo to one. They let the nurse go awa> Friday evening. Clyde Davisson got his face burned at the dredge Sunday afternoon. A steam pipe bursted near where he was standing and the hot steam struck him on one side, burning his face and ear so bad that he went to a doctor to have the wound dressed. The roads have been the worst forthe time of year that we have had in a good while. In fact, they were no worse any day last spring than they were Saturday. People should avoid, as far as possible, the hauling of heavy loads when the roads are in such bad

condition. Sunday school officers were elected Sunday for the year 1912 to take effect the first Sunday in January. They were as follows: Edna Lefler, superintendent; Mrs. C. C. Randle, assistant; Ethel Parker, secretary-treasur-er an<l organist; Roy Bussell, teacher of Bible class and Frank Rlngelse-> teacher of the young men and won en s class. The other two classes io be supplied. ■ !!■!■ -"**"*" 1 1 • ■— >" -I ■.l Hi I H *
