PUSH ROOT
Quite a few of the folks from this
section packed their dinner baskets last Sat, preparatory to
attending the Fruit Growers Jubilee on Knobley Mountain. They heard
there was to be an excursion over the Twin Mt and Pacific, so hied
themselves down to the tracks and waited for the train. About nine
o'clock some one came along and advised them that the train would
only run from the county to the picnic ground. This made a few of
them mad and they went back home. Some of them, however, were anxious
to see the train, so hitched old "Moll" and
"dobbin" to the carry-all and went anyhow.
All report a tremendous big time.
Upon landing in the orchard a road lead due E 26 poles to an old
white oak; then E20 degrees S to the top of the Ellifritz gap, where
horses and mules could be hitched and fed. The road from the orchard
to the picnic ground is just about three and one half feet out of
plumb, which made climbing difficult and appetites large. The
lemonade barrel was full to overflowing and was presided over by Bill
Utte and family, who drank most of it.
The Keyser Band was in attendance and
performed excellent. They rendered a very classical program
consisting of pieces composed by Chopin, Mozart and Faust. The
nearest approach to anything like ragtime was when the horn blew for
dinner. They were surely there with the goods at the dinner table.
They sat right down on the ground in their uniforms fearless of ants

Miss Myra Nefflen gave a funny
reading, over which she nearly convulsed with laughter, entitled
"Tickling a Mule's Heels with a Rye Straw." After this,
when the audience had fully recovered, a man from the university
warmed up the atmosphere with a talk on fruit. From the lemonade
barrel he could be heard but by the way his arms were moving he must
have made some speech or else he though he was in Romney, delivering
a commencement address to the mutes.
The peach packers from Sleepy Creek
were indeed peaches. One's name was Miss Biggs, the smallest one, and
the other had a long name of German extraction.
They could shear and pack a basket of

boxes a jiffy.
After the mid day repast Sen Hood of
the county seat made a few remarks as a tonic, and then introduced
Prof Alderman who read figures from the back of an envelope that were
truly staggering in their immensity. He began back in "AppleSeed
Jonnies" time and gave statistics down until July 1917. He would
have given more, but said there would probably be a good many locusts
around that season and the apple crop might be light. When he
finished and the figures had been digested, the Band played
Mendlesons Concerto No 3 Opus 21 (?SIC). this took some time and gave
the folks time to walk around a bit.
Miss Wagoner of the county seat gave
a reading or recitation entitled "Ode to the T M & P"
Several candidates were present
shaking hands and setting the people up to lemonade. Frank Lee Carl
of the Dailey News was present with his note book. His article in
regard to the affair said there was 1,000 present. The crowd averaged

the occasion.

July 30
News is somewhat scarce here as no one
can get far from home since the flood. Of course, when this reaches
the readers of the Tribune, flood news will be getting a little
stale, but I will give some of the happenings in our immediate neighborhood.
Before 10 am it began to rain in
moderate showers and continued until about 2 pm, when the down pour
commenced, accompanied by wind and terrific lightning and continued -
with two short intermissions - until about 3 o'clock. Every little
rivulet and ever low place where there was no streams became raging
torrents, sweeping away fences and bridges and making water courses
of many of the roads. We will leave the Potomac valley for others to
report, but will give a little sketch of Abrams Creek, which we get
form an eye witness and those how have been over the ground (or where
the ground ought to be) since the flood, commencing at the N W
Turnpike bridge. Here on a high portion of the bottom, the pens at
Russ Likens' cattle scales were washed away. At the ford of
Johnnycake creek the stream took the pike from there to Red Bridge at
Abrams Creek and is now the channel of the first named streamed.
County Com. Idleman says it will cost $500 to repair this place (?).
One of the abutments at Red Bridge is undermined and otherwise
damaged; it is thought it will have to be rebuilt. This abutment has
stood there for about 70 years. Next in its course was Charley
Ferribee. His garden and truck patch of about two acres, was part
washed away and the balance buried and a pen of two fine hogs taken.
Next it took a great portion of the Wabash branch of the railroad
washing away the road bed and moving the track to the west side of
the creek. Next it struck Switchback. Here it became a "Johnstown
flood" on a small scale. It cut round the county and R R
bridges and went down through the village moving three houses off
their foundations and taking one away. The Junkins appears to be the
heaviest losers. Tomp's and Arch's houses were both moved and
everything on the first floor either washed out or ruined, whilst
George's house was taken clear away. Emory run that comes in here
flooded several houses and took Capt. Taylor's warehouse and the
platform from his store; also the county bridge just below the store.
From this point to Harrrison, the damage would be hard to estimate, a
great portion of the railroad is taken out, two of the new county
bridges and several cars are reported gone. Those who saw it say that
the creek crossed the river at a height of about four feet and ran to
the hill on the Md side.
Mrs J W Roderick, who has been quite
poorly the past two weeks with liver trouble and indigestion is now
able to sit up a part of the time. Mr W G Drinkwater, of Gormania, is
the attending physician. Miss Minty Cooper is helping to nurse her
and is keeping house.
Joe Kisner has purchased the Schell
store and has made application for the postoffice. Jack Fleming is
still there attending the the office and "learning Joe the grades".
Our old friend, David M Leatherman, of
Ridgeville, came out and spent last Sat and Sun. A week passed with
us. Come again, Mack, always glad to see you.
A Mrs Humbird, from about Cumberland is
visiting Mrs Clara Roderick at this writing.
Rev L C Messick delivered an interesting
sermon at Rehoboth last Sun. He was accompanied by his sister, of
Harrisonburg Va, who is paying him a visit; also their father, Capt
Messick, who is spending the summer here.
By the way, Bro Hink, let us know what
the flood did at Push Root, Tarkiln Ridge and the Fingerboard Farm.
There is an old adage, "There is
never a loss without a gain." During the recent storm the
lightning struck and killed Bill Idleman's old horse.

August 5
We have had a few days now without rain
and our farmers are trying to make hay, but it is cool and cloudy the
great portion of the time, and the ground being wet, it is almost
impossible to cure grass in any reasonable length of time. Some are
cutting their oats, whilst some of the oats is not yet ripe; the crop
is good this year.
Our potato crop is extra heavy this
season but we notice the vines are beginning to blight and in some
patches the potatoes are beginning to rot.
The new mercantile company is now doing
business under the firm name of The Schell Supply co "Limited".
The Potomac Bridge and Improvement Co,
having lost their bridge in the recent flood, met last Sat to discuss
ways and means whereby they might erect another bridge. President
Moon resigned his position and withdrew from the company and is now
running a ferry up at the ford (his old gray horse). Vice President
Wheeler then called the directors together and it was decided to
bridge the channel next to the W Va side and wade the smaller channel
on the Md side. They then erected a pier by driving two forked poles
into the ground in the channel and placed another pole upon them;
they then placed two sils from that to the abutment on the W Va side,
when work was suspended for an indefinite period, but one of the
directors assured us that the work would be pushed to completion just
as soon as they could get enough of Speicheer's lumber up form the
dock and get the nails from Joe Kisner. When we left the place in the
evening Vice Pres Wheeler was sitting astride one of the poles,
singing "I came to the river and couldn't get across."
We neglected to say in our last that
Jake Shillingburg got pretty badly bruised up some time since by a
scaffold fall with him and Geo Kitzmiller, whilst they were erecting
a porch. Boys,if I had a turkey gobbler that was wreckles enough to
roost on such a scaffold, I should get rid of him just as soon as I
possibly could.
