They drove through in Mr. Grover’s car and were compelled to go some out of their way on account of the flood. The ice cream supper at McCoysburg Saturday night by the Ladies Aid was well patronized but the heavy storm which began rising in the west frightened the people away before all the cream was sold out. However, it was all disposed of next morning. The Aid meets at the home of Mrs. J. R. Phillips next Wednesday to do sewing. Wash Lowman was taken very sick at his home east of McCoysburg Saturday afternoon. He was out of doors in the yard at the time the pain attacked him and (had to be carried in the house. Help was called and gave him what assistance they could until the doctor could arrive. His condition was better by evening and Sunday morning he was still improving. A cur dog got into Trustee Poole’s young turkeys one morning last week and succeeded in killing eight turktys. Trustee Poole, Road Supervisor Williamson, Squire Bussell and ex-Trustee Geo. Parker started out in pursuit of the dog and tracked it directly to the home of Roy Walls, near Pleasant Ridge. He said the dog has been running about and had probably been doing mischief and offered no resistence to having ths dog killed. So Squire Bussell was detailed to do the shooting. Every dog found running around without an owner should be killed. Mr. and Mrs. R. €. McDonald and daughter, Florence, took dinner with Roy Bussell and family Sunday. After dinner a drive was made over the country to see the effects of the heavy rainfall Saturday night. Untold damage was done to the crops, several hundred acres of corn being under water, wheat shocks floating away, etc. The old Waukarusa ditch was the highest it has been in years.
