Jackson - In view of the importance of the 60th anniversary of the North Jackson Sunday school, May 12 and 13 have been set apart for the observation of that church and community event. In connection with this anniversary it is fitting to pay a small tribute to the present superintendent, C. F. Whitney, of this, one of the pioneer schools of our county. Mr. Whitney was first elected superintendent of the North Jackson school in 1888 and re-elected in 1889 and again chosen in 1899. Again he was elected in 1907 and served until the present time. A program has been prepared for the two days and those who attend are promised a time of rare enjoyment and profit.

Dimock - James Gavitt, aged 83, Civil War veteran, succumbed to a stroke of apoplexy at the home of his son, Judson, at Springville, on April 29th.

H. Button, of Dimock; Mrs. Minnie Squires, of Richmond, Va., and one son, Judson, of Springville. The funeral was held at the Community church and interment in the Dimock cemetery. [James Gavitt was a member of Co. B, 52nd Infantry, PA Volunteers.]

ALSO The Merchants Telephone Co. is preparing to install a new Kellogg switchboard in their recently purchased building on Church street, John H. Mahon, manager of the company, informs us. This improvement will cost in the neighborhood of $5,000, and will greatly improve the company’s service, making it possible to put a fewer number of phones on the same lines.

Pleasant Valley, Auburn Twp. - Last Thursday, April 30th, we had a heavy snow storm, so the ground was covered.

South Ararat - Our last snow storm reminds the writer of one in the year 1869. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd day of May it snowed to the depth of 3”, but the 4th day the sunshine soon melted it away. My parents, at that time, lived in Clifford near Elk Hill. My father told me to note it down, which I did, so I would be sure to remember the date.

Fair Hill, Forest Lake Twp. - We had a nice little snow storm last Thursday. In 1884 there was snow on the ground and froze the morning of May 30th.

Waverly, NY - The Rev. Mr. Williams, pastor of the African M. E. church in Waverly, NY, better known as “Cyclone Williams,” has been ordered by his church board to either quit fighting or quit preaching. He claims he is earning money through fighting to build a new church in Waverly. This is surely a new way of “beating the devil around the stump.”

Mehoopany, Pa. - John L. Swetland, in his 86th year, died at his home on Grist Flat, near Mehoopany, on April 29th. Mr. Swetland was born in the house where he died, the dwelling having been occupied continuously by the Swetland family for 95 years. The house is beautifully situated on the Susquehanna river, and here he lived a contented life. His grandfather was a survivor of the Wyoming Massacre. He is survived by three sons and three daughters and a sister, aged 95 years, living in Tunkhannock.

Harford - Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Peck were recent callers at Harry Shannon’s and listened in on the radio. Talk about a genius! Mr. Shannon has made 14 radios.

Fairdale - To Mr. and Mrs. Lee R. Bolles, of this place, on April 30, 1925, was born a son, Edgar W. Bolles, Jr. The new arrival derives his name from his grandfather. We could wish him nothing better than that he prove “true to his name.”

Three Husbands Go To Jail For Wives: Uniontown, Pa. Rather than have their wives jailed for violating the prohibition laws, three husbands asked Judge E. H.

Crickett, $500 fine and five months in jail; Antilla Viscat, $250 fine and five months in jail; and Joseph Stone, $250 fine and three months in jail. The wives had been convicted of selling liquor and were awaiting sentence. The husbands said their wives were needed at home to look after their families.
