Our Special Hicks Run Letter

Hicks Run, Sept 10th, 1905.DEAR MR. EDITOR:?

Thinking perhaps you would like tohear something from Hicks Run andthe surrounding country, where yourpaper, the PRESS, has been a householdword for more than a century, I writeyou a few lines, telling you ofour pros-pects, prosperity and inhabitants,many of whom you were aquaintedwith in the days of Auld Lang Syne.Things move along smoothly with us,we obey the laws, love our wives, rearour children in the fear of the Lord,till the soil (when we can find any)and now and then goto Austin andget drunk.

We have the usual amount of pros-perity that is vouchsafed to the inhabi-tants of the country and our schooland educational privileges are good.

i .Longevity seems to be our inheri-tance, in fact at the coming fall elec-tion a vote is to be taken by the peo-ple in the district to determine whoshall be sacrificed to start our newcemetery in order to keep up with theprogress of the times.

Our school opened last week with a

full attendance. Prof. Bigger, who hasbeen principal for the past five years,returned from his vacation which hespent at Camp 21, fighting mosquitoesand bathing his pedal extremities inthe limpid waters of North Creek.

The Prof, is a graduate from theSinnatnahoning Seminary and workedhis way through college by peelingbarn and killing rattlesnakes. He is a

man of letters, scholarly and well read,and is now, so to speak, resting on themiddle rung of his ladder of fame.

Our Star Course of lectures for thewinter is assured, the subscription listbeing more than satisfactory. Thespeakers securod for the course are

Vice President Fairbanks, John Wes-ley and Victor Hugo.

Prof. Leonard Stacks lectured beforethe school last evening. His subjects:"Personal recollections of Joan of Arcand The Use of Axle Grease in theArts,"were interesting and instructive.

The Dauguscahonda Glee Club willgive an entertainment on Thanksgiv-ing evening for the benefit of theYoung Ladies Guild. As singers theyhave lately come into prominence andtheir music is rag time and sacred,from the Old Apple Tree to the HolyCity.

The harvest is passed and the sum-mer is ended with us and very fewhave been gathered in, and as I saidbefore we have been fairly prosperousand have no kick coming.

Abner Carpenter picked from onestalk in his buckwheat field, twenty*five solid ripe buckwheat cakes andwants to know ifany one in the countycan beat it. The cakes were good,first-class as your correspondent cantestify, having eaten ten of them bor-dered with good pork gravy from apiece of pork from a hog killed on the

! 10th of last month by Eben Sowers,which he had been flattening since theyear of the Centennial.

Andrew Rhubottom ofN. J., is visiting his son Peter. Andrew is an old time resident here andmoved away years ago, his fathernow living in New Hampshire, wasone of the men that grasped the prowof the boat and pulled it on shore, thatcarried Washington across the Dela-ware. His Uncle Abner, (his father'sbrother) who was at Yorktown whenCornwallis surrendered, and got glor-iously drunk on apple jack in loggingthis fall in the Jersey Meadows forGeo. Gould, the railroad magnate. He

I Abner, was at one time engaged| to Lvdia Pinkham, but broke the ea-

! gagement, because she would not givehim the formula ofher celebrated medicine in a marriage settlement.

Elkaua Peters, is visiting his nephew,| Hiram, proprietor of the Bark Peelersi Exchange. Elkaua is an old soldierand his reminiscenses are very interesting. He crossed the Alps with Na-poleon and was in the battles of Austre-

! lit/, and Hohenlinden and afterwardsat the burning of Moscow. He is a

well preserved man, jet black hair,reads without glasses and has a per-fect set of teeth. He amused the boysin the Post office Saturday evening bybiting three ears ofcorn in two at once.

Malvinia Hedges who has been teach-er in the primary department of our

school the past year was married on

Wednesday to Lysanter Becker Thewedding was quite swell. Malviuawas dri*ssed in a cheese cloth wrapper and a green glass breast pin andLysanter wore u tan colored suit hebought on the Inst illmeut plan, fromJasper Karris in Kinporiuin. Theyare spending their honeymoon withI > suiter's aunt at Cross Forks.

Mr* Mary Carpenter Is visiting here.

Her husband John Carpenter residedhere for a long time and was veryprominent in church work. He movedto Pittsburg some years ago and hiswife informs me, owing to businesscares and trying to keep the wolf fromgnawing his back door steps, he hasbackslid, has given up his pew inchurch and is doing his sleeping athome.

Aunt Harriet Beckett drove up fromHuntley last week. Aunt Harriet is asspry as a kitten and loves to tell howshe used to stand in her doorway andlasso Buffalos and sell corn Juice to theIndian.

Cy Carter found a nest of flyingsquirrels in his barn He stopped upthe knot holes through which they en-tered with pieces of bark and the nextday an agent for the society to preventcruelty to animals arrested him and hewas taken before Squire Pingres andgave bail for his appeasance before thegrand jury. Wallace Clark went hisbail and mortgaged his father andmother's tomb stones in order toqualify.

Everybody is going to the countyfair. Some of the people are greasingtheir wagons now, so as to be ready.

Algeron Snips, who is spending thesummer with his aunt, Mrs. Purdy, isan artist and a poet. His. crayonsketches of a bark pile and a deadmilch cow hanging in the post officeare creditable and very life like. Al-geron says the in vernacular of the daythere is something doing.

boroughs of this state are constructingbrick or Macadam roads, the state topay three fourths of the cost. Salts-burg, Indiana county is laying onemile of brick pavement.

Who Is He?By the placing of Mrs. Helen Carter

in the County Home, another exampleof brutal, inhuman and despised natureofsome men lias been brought to light.Mrs. Carter is but 19 years ofage, a

bride of a few months, and is in a deli-cate condition. The beast whose nameshe bears, has deserted her, and in herpitiablecondition she has toseek shelterand attention in the poor house. Car-ter, who is a heartless cur, and a manto whom the law should show no mercy,is said to be in the vicinity ofEmpori-um Every effort should be made tofind the fellow, and make him partiallyrepay in suffering, the anguish he iscausing the poor young woman whomhe has so basely wronged. The Enter-prise does not believe that any mercyshould be shown a man of his stampand no stone left unturned to bring himas near justice ns the law can sanction?which the Enterprise feels would beinadequate punishment for his crimeCoudersport Enterprise.
