Friday, December 11, 1903 All Around the County Mrs. Alexander Cover of South Fork was visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Peters of Johnstown this week. Thomas Lance of Lilly was in Altoona visiting his daughter, Mrs. Andrea Ryan, recently. W. H. Piper & Co. have closed their No. 4 mine on the Lilly branch indefinitely. There were not sufficient shipments to keep both mines in operation. The men employed at No. 4 works were transferred to No. 2, which is a benefit to them in point of distance and work. Patton Items The family of Jerry Flynn who have been suffering from diphtheria for the last few weeks is much improved. F. E. Farabaugh, who has been seriously ill for the last four weeks, is slowly improving. Local and Personal Andrew Farabaugh who has been ill for some time is still not able to be around. His physician it is understood states that he will not be in condition to undertake to attend to his business affairs for some time. Unless there is some improvement in his condition, Mr. Farabaugh will probably resign as county auditor as his position will be necessary at the county seat after the first of the year. Mr. Farabaugh has been a most efficient officer, being instrumental, it will be remembered, in making a correction to the accounts of the county treasurer that saved the taxpayers of the county something like $7,000.
