Appoint Human Calendar, Represent- ing the Twelve Months—\Months\ Name \Weeks\ and Latter Select \Days\ to Secure Funds. 1 As a means for raising funds with which to purchase a large electric clock for the Presbyterian church steeple, the members of the Ladie's Aid society have adopted an unique plan as may be seen by pursuing • the following communication: Mr. Editor: In a recent issue of your paper we saw an article favoring the idea of a clock, which the ladies of the Pres- byterian church have decided to place in the tower of said church. While it will be placed in the Presbyterian church its tone we hope will reach the ears of all denominations, alike gladening all hearts, so we feel we are justified in asking them to share in the enterprise, knowing by this means a first-class time piece can be supplied the town. At the last meeting of the Ladie's Aid society it was decided to start a ' \calendar\ for the next year and if all respond to the idea a goodly sum will be realized. The matter has already been paced in the hands of twelve' ladies representing the twelve months. The year, Mrs. Leonard; the months, Mrs. Bate- man, Mrs. E. J. Boshart, Mrs. Daven- port, Miss Scott. Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Blackman, Mrs. Frost, Mrs. Schindler, Miss Sherwood, Mrs. Searles, Mrs. Fowler, Mrs. Agens. Each month is to appoint four to represent the weeks, each week is to find seven days that will be wiling to give 10 cents a month for a year towards this enterprise. We hope all will be glad to be a day in a good cause. We feel this explanation is neces- sary that the people may intelligent- ly meet those who call upon them. And when spring is with us again and a six foot electric time piece, with three illuminated dials is in- stalled, we hope all will feel the money was wisely place^HM|^nothr er step ^tftMBtf@I^^H^^^fe> pleasant *-8MBMBS|£H(P^^™£O>^ plished. Ladie's Aid, Presbyterian Church. The idea is a clever one and it is doubtful if there is any Lowville resident who will object to being recognized as a \day\ in so worthy a cause. rw * <*. *T *&3* mm *mm smmm &9>f&tf*£ i^mis. i 5 J FUR.THIEJE& *. f If WORE HEBE. * £ - . * * Fur thieves are becoming ae- * * tive in this part of the state and * J-more than one trapper has - re-^ J $ eently lost pelts -of considerable * * value. «S * * One of the heaviest losers is J * Ben Major, who waS; relieved of * * a raccoon and 13 skunk skins J * during Friday night.

During the present week County Superintendent of Highways Clarence Putman presented his annual report to the board of supervisors. The document follows: Croghan, N. Y., Dec. 2. 1910. To the Honorable Board of Super- visors of Lewis county . Sitting quietly in his horned ta]i Easton street, discussing with his better-half the day they were united in holy wedlock 20 years before,. P. James Belnois was startled Monday evening by the violent ringing of the bell. Mr. Benois is always prompt to respond to C. Q. D. signals and he lost no time in putting aside his pipe and getting to the door. It was then that he was givenvthe biggest surprise of his life. Instead of greeting a neighbor or two, he faced nearly half a hundred friends who arrived in a body to assist his wife and himself in fittingly cele- brating the anniversary of their marriage. The to him unexpected guests troop- ed into the house and they were made heartily welcome. For the next few hours pleasure reigned supreme. Social converse, parlor amusements and refreshments were enjoyed until a seasonable hour and when the visi- tors departed for their respective homes and hotels they were a unit in declaring Mr. and Mrs.' Belnois prince and princess of entertainers.

I have found it neces- sary for me to be on the road the greater part of the time since thf first of April last up to a very short time ago, and even before the first of April I was called out a great many times, and as I kept a record of the distance travelled during this time, I find that I travelled 2,575 miles by railroad, about 5,200 miles by automobile, and something like 2,700 miles by horses, which includes livery hire, what I travelled with several town - superintendents . ^_^_ ^__ what I trfveTTed with my own horses, :**•« COB t rai T r notwithstanding making a tbtal of about 10,475 miles.

Came Here To Wed. Charles Brooks and Miss Detta E. Brown of Watson came here Wednes- day and at 1:30 p. m. they were united in marriage by Rev. F. B. Severance. The couple were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Welder and Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Williams. In travelling about the county as I have this season I can readily see a vast change in the highways in many towns for the better, and if this good work continues, it is only a matter of time when poor roads will be a thing of the past. How- ever, there are some towns that have not done so well and their ex- cuses are numerous, or rather the town superintendents' are, but when there are funds available and the town superintendent is provided with tools, machinery and implements, there cannot be a very good excuse for him not placing the highways of his town in proper shape: However, there possibly are one or two cases in the county where the town super- intendent has a good and sufficient reason for not getting the work done on time. (Continued on Page 6.) DEEDS TO LEWIS COUNTY PROPERTIES FlCED HERE There was placed on record here Monday a deed dated May 6, 1908, on which date Mr. and Mrs. John E. Potter transferred 100 acres of land in Osceola, in which town the parties named reside.

Rest assured that for whatever ac- tion the board may take in this mat- ter there will be a good reason. Supervisor Chickering, like all his official associates, favors improved highways and nothing would please him more than to have a section 3.83 miles in length constructed the com- ing summer through the town of Denmark to the Jefferson county line.

Mrs. Mary Taylor suffered a shock of paralysis Thursday, and is now in a critical condition. The monthly business meeting of the Epworth league took place Mon- day evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Terrlll. At that time officers were elected as follows: President, Miss Jeanette Lampher; first vice-president, Mrs. B. F.

Miss Dora Sission, who had been employed in the Davenport hotel, left last week for Watertown where she has secured a position.

Up until eight ilionjths ago the highway law was si^h' that towns and counties benefited b.v new roads were permitted to piv\ their respec- tive shares of the cost in a way that made so slight an inrease in taxes, as not to be felt by poperty holders. This was made possible by a state bond issue, under Vnich the state would advance all thvoMsnoneys nec- essary for the construction of county roads and permit 'he towns and counties to pay back their propor- tions of the cost at the rate of two per cent a year and interest. that the state will no longer serve as \hanker\ by advancing the moneys til; $he first instance andL hereafter \\~\tt COSJti construction..

Made famous by the bloody skirmishes whieh took place within its borders in the French and Indian war which gave it a name and place in history and of late years one of the beauty spots of the Oswego river, it must give way before the progress of modern transportation facilities and with the completion of Contract 37 of the barge canal must be covered by the waters of the Os- wego river when the new high dam at Minetto is completed. The island is a low one and is but a few feet above the water at the high level in the river, and with the in- creased area and depth of the river made possible by the dam at Minetto the entire island will be covered by water to a depth of several feet. It was on the third of July. \1756 that Colonel Bradstreet with his expedi- tion, bound from the trading post of Oswego to Albany, was ambushed by French and Indians near Battle Is- land and was forced to take shelter on the heavily wooded land. The first battle of the French and Indian wars in Xew York state was then fought and after an all day's fight both parties withdrew with the killed and wounded numbering be- tween seventy-five and one hundred. One of the wounded in that battle, which is mentioned in all histories of this section, was Captain Phillip Schuyler, afterwards a Revolutionary war leader. The French were over- whelmingly defeated and beat a hasty retreat to the forest. Years after- ward and about sixty years ago a farmer plowing on the island brought to light a gold ornament of Indian workmanship which was valued at $20 and at the same time found a leather bottle of rum.
