Show WELLSVILLE PARADISE I And other' News from here, II there and yonder which jfl may prove of Interest. fl Wellsville, 1 The 24th opened up with booming . fl or cannon at daylight and raising stars fl and stripes at sunrise. The band was fl out and rendered appropriate music for fl the occasion. At 10 o'clock the peo- fl pic assembled at tho meeting house fl and heard a program. In the after- fl noon a great number witnessed a ball fl game between the home club and fl Wlllard which was too much one fl sided, the score standing .10 to 5 in fl favor of Wcllsville. fl Everything went off pcacably, and fl quietly until about 8 o'clock when a fl fire broke out at Mr. John S. fl Lcatham's barn, which burned to tho fl ground in a very short time. It might fl have been much worse had the wind fl been blowing, but as good luck was in fl Mrs Lcatham's favor, the night was fl still and the tire was kept under fl control. Tho house and a haystack 'fl close by would have gone had there fl been a breeze blowing H Quite a number of the young peo- J pie have gone and others are going into the canyon to get away from the fl hot weather, but It's to be hoped they II will not freeze. The Hyrum folks not I long ago stated that they were afraid ;H some of their people would bo brought I home frozen to death. fl Wo understand there was a little fl too much booze here tho day after the Kl 24th. Some Mcndon and Hyrum pugl- im lists met In Wcllsville and had a scrap M but not much harm was done. HI The health of the people Is good, 'VM there being very little sickness at this ifl time. H |
