THE RAMBLER'S PICKINGS.

We often hear of cranks, but when a person gets so far gone as to take up a column and a half in describing a little one horse ball game he must be a double crank.

Miss Lottie Lane of Montague has been spending a week with Mrs. V. McCarty on lower Harford street.

James Beck and wife spent last Sunday at Millrift.

So the venerable John C. Westbrook is going to leave us and take up his residence at Branchville, N. J., although John C. has not been seen on our streets as much of late as formerly yet his many friends will greatly miss him and all hope that the change will do no harm.

It will take some people another week to completely recover from the effects of attending the firemen's parade in Port Jervis last week.

Mrs. Ida Sarvis and family of Newburgh, N. Y., were guests of Mrs. Ann Palmer recently.

The young people of Montague will hold their annual picnic at High Point tomorrow. A few from here are favored with invitations.

Victor Bevans of Sandyston passed here on his way to Carbondale, Pa., where he expects to stop a couple of days.

Brother Warren, your Sandyston roads are out of sight for an auto. Take the river road from the Montague line down an auto would want wheels three feet high and steel tires to get over it and the Montague end of the road is no better.

Man is born for trouble. But there are some who seem to have more than their share.

Otto P. Quick, after being confined to the house for some time with a sore foot, is able to travel on our streets again.
