There was a surprise party on Frank Ringeisen Wednesday night, which was attended by quite a number of young folks. - The, Joseph Stewart stone road is progressing very nicely now, since they have the pit opened. Four or five teams were busy Wednesday hauling ■crushed stone. i J. C. Ireland scattered a car load of fine stone on the road Monday and Tuesday. Only the worse places are being patched up, but the road needs at lot of repair work. J. F. Price came up Monday from Lafayette to see after the building of a large double corn crib on his farm at McCoysburg. W. H.
