There are some cases on Din­

gle Hill. Arena and villages below are under­

going a samll pox scare. Dr. Faulkner of Arena is quarantined for small pox and there are a few caHes of the disease on Dingle Hill in the town of Andes. The case of Dr. Faulkner is the only case in the town of Middle-town. The disease is in a very mild form.

All the physicians in this section are baing beseiged by people desiring vaccination and i t is hoped that the disease will not spread further. Health officer, Dr. C. S. Allaben is prepared to take vigorous measures to stamp out the disease should more of it ap­pear in this town.

Regarding Its appearance at Downs-ville the News of that village Bays:

The outbreak of small ' pox in the town of Colchester has given the vil­lage of Downsville a scare, inasmuch its a party from the town of Honcock Visited tne village when his face was covered with blotches, whether of smallpox or of "Cuban i tch" as some are inclined to believe it is, and the N -ws is led to remark:

The "smallpox of today seems to be of a character to bewilder aud perplex tho pathological skill of the physicians

't)ften they seem to see their way and many times they are mistaken. Nine years ago when smallpox struck Wal­ton i t wi3 called ' 'Cuban i t ch" by many, and it is a fact that some of the cases of alleged smallpox in that town'showed few symptoms of the/old time Bmallpox. Five or six years'ago a man came to Jefferson, Sehob arie County, his.face covered with blotches. He stodped a t the local hotel for a day, or at least a few. hours, and/final-ly visited a physioWn of the Village, who affirmed that the man had small­pox. Health officer Peck of Oneonta w»s summoned, whose statements were corroborative of the report of the local pnysicians. Then Jefferson people were in a state of consternation. Schools and churches were closed; a pest house was 82l3cted, and every: precaution taken to stay the dread disease. With­in a few weeks from the time the man came t> the village there had develop-

about forty cases of pure—measles! not a case of smallpox.

;orated by outside parties, one of the 'also stories being that Dr. Faulkner Was at the big firemen's dance. This 8 not true as the doctor was not away from his house that day at all.

Boar Kills Horse. Zlaa Snnford of Dunraven recently

lust a valuable horse in an unusual manner, it having been charged by a boar and so badly injured that it died.

New Year's day he loaned the horse to s i boys who are attending school in Margaretville to get out some wood for their use while in school here. The boys were driving across a field of 01-ney Smith, a neighbor, when they saw the boar coming toward them. As he neared the team they were driving he made for the horses and passing un­derneath one horse charged the other, the long tushes of the animal made a terrible wound.

The horse was driven.to the barn but died a few days later. The hog never before had shown any signs of being ugly.

/ina cor. The Country Physician.

Too few people realize how self-sacrificing the Use of a country physi­cian is, and how often they succumb to diseases that are attributable directly to the hardships of their profession. Everybody riding over the rough coun­try roads and the necessity of irregular sleeping and eating are often the cause of the early breaking down of these indispensable public servants. And yet they are not appreciated for what they are worth by many people, who see in their services only the financial com­pensation they receive; and this is of­ten very slow in coming from the same unappreciative people.

Dr. Cornell of Sidney Centre who last week laid dawn his young Ufa for the ' love of his profession and sym pathy for his patients, was a conspicu­ous example of these self-sacrificing country doctors. He was ill himself, and coming in from a call on one of his patients living some distance away his friends tried to persuade him that he should go to bed, but he said there was a sick child down near Sidney and he would go to it if he died on the road And he practically did, as he passed away at the home of the child he went to visit. Such sympathy aud sacrifice is akin to the spirit that was in the Christ when on earth, going about do­ing good.

Physicians in the cities, who have opportunities to charge large fees sometimes when serving the rich, in some instances accumulate considera­ble property, but in the country rare-lo ever. In fact, the country practi tioner does not receive compensation at all commensurate to the service he renders, when it is considered that BO often he serves the Very poor, where his fees are never collected. Let us think of these things and be anr« ap­preciative of the services of our family physician. -Franklin Dairyman

Box Ball Opening. The American Box Ball Alleys under

management of George C. Grant will be opened on Saturday, January 11th, afternoon and evening in Masonic block.

Box Ball is a fascinating and improv­ed bowling game in! which a high de­gree of skill may be attained; the pins are set up and the balls returned to the player automatically, and it is the ideal indoor sport and amusement, as well as a most healthful exercise for men. women, boys and girls..

Imagine if you can the neighbors and friends seated about the alleys—the young folka are playing against the old folks, the interest is intense, the balls whiz noiselessly along the alley and

the fun is at its height—the game is tied, mother steps up to the alley, and with a well directed effort knocks down all the pins, a spare, the old folks win the game.

This game is best known in the Wes­tern States and is endorsed by the Churches, Y. M. C. A's. nnd all the better element in a community, where it is properly conducted.

The management will conduct this place in such a manner that the better class of people need have no fear of moral reflection, and where people of low morals will feel out of their ele­ment, in fact a strictly clean, first-class place of amusement.

Total receipts of the Box Ball Alleys for one afternoon and evening in each week will be donatd to the designated local societies and organizations as follows:

Margaretville Cornet Hand. Margaretville Fire Department. Methodist Ladies' Aid "Society. Presbyterian Ladies' Aid Society.

• Red Cross Society., Village Improvement Society.- ,i,, The management invites them in al­

phabetical order to participate, and to name a representative or committee to handle the receipts of their allotted day.

The alleys will be opened on the above fixed date under the auspices and for the benefit of the Margaret ville Cornet Band, and the'balls will "roll, roll, roll" to the strains of suth

music as we all know this band capa­ble of producing.

An Interesting Life. An old man writing to tho Koscoe

Review has the following Interesting story:

1 was horn at the Cape, near Ellen-ville, April 11, 1824, and came to Red lllll in 1812, and am the oldest person living in the town of Denning. The noxt oldest people came into tills town long after I had settled here and 1 have lived to see several generations rise up and depart. Almost all have gone to people the great City of the Dead.

As I look back over my long life it seems as yesterday. The "locofoco" match camo In in my day. Tammany Hall was lit up with these same matches and tho Democrats were call­ed "Locofocos." When I was a boy, going to school at Burlingham and Andrew Jackson waB running for President against Henry Clay wo were called "Hickory Boys" and "Clay Roys." Clay was a Wig. At that time the Bteei pen had not mado Its appearance in our school. We wrote with (mills, and We would say to our teacher: "Please mend my pen." Our schools were large. Wo had no pub­lic money and those who sent their Children t<> school hud to pay the hill. Ono sheet of foolscap paper woud he all that we wanted to uso In school for three months.

Tho M. E, ('lunch was built In tho early thirties on tho hill at Burling-hum, and several years ago I saw In tho papers that It was called tho "mother of cuurobes." i was ut tho dedication and know some of the builders.

The telegraph and telephone, tho uuto und tho aeroplanes, all now cow­ers, in my day, und iiiiiny other things too numerous to mention,

With best wishes to you and yours for the New Year, I urn,

Sincerely yours. Albert Van Dover.

THIS TIME HOUSE

OF DR. CHAMPLIN

Building was insured for five

thousand dollars.

Griffin Corners had its third myster­ious fire early Sunday morning when the handsome house of Dr. Champlain was burned to the ground, the fire starting about 3 o'clock in the morning

The fire wns discovered by Arthur Avery, who lives near and the fire de­partment was summoned but the flames were beyond their control.

There had been nobody in the house for a long time and it is said that there is no clue as to the origin of the flames.

The house was insured for $5,000.00. This is the third mysterious fire in

the twin villages of Griffin Corners-Fleischmanns within a few weeks.

This residence was built about 18 years ago by Dr. C. J. Hillis. who was then practicing medicine at Griffin Corners. The building stood on Upper Main Street in the east end of the vil­lage, and was conisdered one of the prettiest in the village. It recently was purchased by Dr. Champlin and used by him as a residence until in April 1912, when he moved into rooms over the Champlin block where he would be more conveniently located. The buliding ha.< not been occupied since that time.
