Excellent early fall fishing is prom¬ ised in this section by the arrival of flounders and black fish. The former have just made their appearance and as yet are quite small. Blackfish are biting strong and as they are a deli¬ cious fish, will no doubt be eagerly sought after. Weakfish continue to be caught, but the season will soon be over for them, it is expected. Outside fishing—that is, in the ocean, is re¬ ported to be first-class.—Times.

Little David Meyer, 9 years oid, will probably ne%er forget September 24, 1911, although other dates may stand out in his memory. Sunday the boy was hit by an automobile, knocked to the ground and the machine passed over his body, and yet he stood up cry¬ ing immediately afterward little the worse for his very clo.se call.
Paul Morton, the actor, was driving the car that hit young Meyer. He had just swung into Railroad avenue from Main street, when the lad ran in front of the auto. Morton applied the brakes and even threw on his emergen¬ cy, but .Meyer had run directly in his path.
Many persons witnessed the acci¬ dent. The radiatoi- of the car hit the boy, and he fell to the ground, his body parallel with the machine. The axle barely grazed his head, and the low transmission in the tear rubbed his clotning. The car was brought to a standstill not five feet from the spot where young Meyer fell feneath. The wheels had not touched the boy's body.
The boy rose screaming, and a crowd gathered. Persons made an exami¬ nation of the lad's body, but not a scratch or mark of any kind could be found. Several minutes later the lad went home.—Eagle.

We all wish Mr. Oborne continued success and advancement in hia work with the New York Telephone Com¬ pany. Mr. Ryder, his successor at the Freeport branch, is one of the finest men I have met, and we are glad to welcome him in Freeport.

Just as we feared! Before the ver¬ satile Archie is again so active in sup¬ pressing gambing we would suggest that he obtain a copy of the Penal Code, and after reading the .same, turn to his father's bible and read that verse in the New Testament which says tliat he who is guiltless should cii.et the first stone.—Hempstead Republican.
The action of the Trolley Company in changing its none-to-good aervice, so that now we have lo change cars both ways going to and from .Mineola, is hard to understand. Nothing that they could have done would have been meaner or more disadvantageous to people south of Hempstead, and 1 think that if the attention of the Public Ser¬ vice Commission was brought to this matter, a lietter service would be re- (juired. The connections at Hemp¬ stead are poor and there is no suitable place to wait for the cars, to say noth¬ ing of wading through mudifl making the chsdige.
Rand Sutherland is no longer re¬ porter f(5r the Brooklyn Eagle, in this section. I have not yet had the pleas¬ ure ot meeting his successor, but I am going to suggest to him, that while some people may believe anything, when he says that THREE TIIOU.S- AND spectators at the Airdome on South (jrove Street, cheered the pres¬ entation of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle on the screen Saturday night, he cer¬ tainly is going some, as the Airdome will iirohably seat about SOd people, and but two performances are held each evening. I do not desire to quar¬ rel with the Eagle in stating they are the representative paper of Freeport, but if this is a sample of its repre¬ sentation, they should supply a stock of salt with each paper.
We appreciate the following item from our Rockville Centre Exchange, "The (Jbserver," in view of the gos¬ sip, idle malicious and false, which has been published as they say:
Notwithstanding tho attempts <if the Brooklyn papers to injure our public schools by the publication of idle and malicious gossip, it is pleasing to note that the P'all term has opened well with a largely increased enrollment.

The promoters of the PVeeport Ath¬ letic Association hope that villagers generally will become interested in the organization to the end that not only baseball but other athletics may be conducted in a creditable manner; also that a public recreation field may be created. The latter is one of the chief aims of the association officers and they believe that the result can be ac- complishtJ, but only through co-ojM-ra- tion. In order to make the association desirable to all who care to join, per¬ manent headquarters are to be estab¬ lished and a gymnasium provided. Active memberahip will coat only $2 yearly and honorary membership $5. Honorary members will be entitled to cards of admission to games of the as¬ sociation up to the amount paid in ae initiation fee. Already quite a num¬ ber have signified their intention cf joining the association to help along athletics in the village and to get the recreation field established. I
