Bear sighting rumor prompts caution in town
A report of a bear in the community circulates, but Woe doubts its truth. Joseph Shields of Covode, formerly in this township, wed Mies M. J. Loughry of Pittsburg last Wednesday. Burglars failed to enter G W Ray’s store, nearly reaching the cellar before being deterred by Mrs. Ray. An institute at McKee’s school last Saturday drew warm praise from attendees. The district’s directors have adopted new school charts and maps, praised as beneficial and comprehensive for teaching.
