McCOYSBURG.

Mr. Gilliatu, of near Francesville, is now occupying the tenant house lately vacated by Mr. Benedict. He will farm a portion of the large tract owned here by -‘Uncle Mac.” Jno. Phillips went to Rensselaer last Tuesday A. M. to attend his official duties but was taken sick and returned on the 11 o'clock train. Young Parcels and Johnson, who were sent to prison, about a year ago for stealing turkeys, served their time out and returned to their homes near Lee, last Monday. This is a lesson which should be observed by others, who have been engaged in this notorious business this fall. . The Young People’s Society meets here every Sunday night. Preaching by Rev. Brady next Sunday at 11 o’clock A. M. Reed Banta has almost completed the addition to his house, now occupied by Mr. Gwin. Mr. Duglass, section foreman here, received a discharge last Wednesday and Jno. Wolf of Rensselaer took his place. Curt Randle went to Chicago last Wednesday night with a car load of hogs. McCoy made a shipment of fat hogs from this place Thursday night. Reed Banta and Dan Robinson returned to the saw mill, north of Rollins’ bridge last Wednesday.
