"Harry, the eight year-old son of Melvin Gorton, of Youngsville, while running his automobile wagon in the road about 5 o'clock Saturday evening, was hit by Otto Hillig's auto. The boy was thrown to one side of the road and his wagon was smashed to pieces. Mr. Hillig stopped his car and while men of the auto party carried the child to Myer's hotel, Hillig hastened in his machine to Jeffersonville for Dr. Gain. The boy was afterward removed to his home, where he has since been confined badly bruised. No blame attaches to Mr. Hillig for this accident."

"We are informed that Hon A W Decker will enlist from this County, a company of Riflemen. Any person wishing to join the company, can do so by applying by letter, or otherwise, to Mr. Decker, at Pond Eddy. None need apply without a recommendation, as the company is to be a "Crack" one.

"When the company is organized, it will be left to their choice to join whatever Regiment a majority of them may choose."

"The Sullivan County Fiar, which was held on the 22nd and 23rd, inst., was in no way a very ordinary representation of the industry of the County. Sweet cider was plenty, at two cents a glass and peanuts did much abound, but of stock and products of the ground there was little to attract attention. The Sullivan County Agricultural Society much needs a restorative, and we incline to believe that under its new organization the proper cordial will be discovered and administered."

"Thursday last, two days after the big fire at Hurleyville, a meeting was called for the purpose of organizing a firefighting company of some kind. Fifty-five men signed the roll and became members of the new organization. Hopes are entertained that some means will be devised for an efficient fire system."
