Fire which was discovered shortly after twelve Monday morn­ing destroyed the barn on the Anna More property on lower Main Strtet. The fire lit up the sky so such an extent that it was first thought that several buildings must be on fire.

The barn was an old one of little real value, but there were several cords of hardwood stored there also an automobile owned by Charles Hunter.

WYER INJURED AS CAR OVERTURNS

Editor of Delaware Express Suf­fers Fracture of Arm and Leg Editor A. C. Wyer of the Dela­

ware Express received a fracture of his right arm and right leg last Friday morning when the car in which he was riding turned over on the ice near Colchester Station. Mr. Wyer was pinned under the wreckage. Other occu­pants of the car escaped injury.

Wyer was being driven to De­posit by Mr. and Mrs. Savage ear­ly in the morning where he was to catch the train for New York city. At the station, near Walton, the car skidded on an icy curve and overturned. Mrs. Savage, driving the machine, perhaps saved the life of all three when she turned off the engine as she felt the ice swerving the heavy body on its side.

The editor, riding in the back seat, was pinned beneath the car for a half hour, while passing motorists strove to rescue him. Gasoline from the punctured tank dripped over him, so that his clothes were soaked when he was finally drawn through an opening made in the floor boards of the machine.

The Walton ambulance rushed the 62 year old man to his home. He is being cared for at present by local physicians.

The injured man has been in charge of the county seat weekly for the past 12 to 15 years. The Savages arrived at his home for a visit last week.

When one con­siders that some of the pupils in the above named list have to travel three miles to school every night and morning it is all the more remarkable that they should have a 100% perfect attendance for the first semester of the 1929-30 term.

The following church notices were handed us during the week: The last meeting of the M. E. Ladies' Aid was held at the home of Mrs. Wm. E. Griffin last Thurs­day, Feb. 6, and the next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. G. E. Griffin on Thursday, Feb. 20. 1930. This will also be an all day meeting. There is much work yet remaining to be done and everyone who possibly can is requested to be present at each meeting. An excellent dinner is served at noon at all the all day meetings.

The Ulster and Delaware ice harvest started in earnest on Mon­day morning of this week. The force of men worked the greater part of last week in removing the snow and plowing the field and at other duties preparatory to get­ting the ice, and on Saturday night these duties were completed so that the ice began to flow into the Ice house along the shores of Lake Wawaka on Monday as stated. This ice hurvest will give employ­ment for one hundred men for over two weeks, which in itself, is not a bad asset for any town, as the amount of money earned by this force would be considerable.

Many who were bitterly opposed to the testing are now some of the strongest advocates. The Andes dairymen now have confidence that the required number of sign­ers will be secured.
