THE RECORD Tioga County, New York January 30, 1886 #4 TIOGA CENTRE. Mr. Cornelius JOHNSON, who has been a resident of this town for 50 years or more died last Sunday night about midnight, aged 82 years. The funeral was held Wednesday. He leaves quite a number of children to mourn his departure, besides a widow and other friends and relatives. Horace SMITH, who has been sick with pneumonia about four weeks past is convalescent. Last Saturday morning we were impressed by hearing of the advent of a fine son to Mr. and Mrs. Lott BROOKS, after a vacation of about ten years. Last Saturday we were aroused by the sound of the tannery whistle, which indicated fire. It proved to be an old house near Chas. POOLE'S, occupied by Smith VANNORSIRAN, which with all its contents was consumed. We heartily congratulate the RECORD and all concerned on our having a new correspondent. We have long felt the need of a respite. We also hope he or she will scan closely, and give us all the important news, as much so that even the popularity of our interesting newspaper, the RECORD may be increased. Thanking the readers of the RECORD and all concerned we shall rest for a short time. Jan. 22. Miss Alice LAWRENCE is visiting friends in Auburn and Seneca Falls. Mr. C.

Everybody aboard L. ROGERS roomy carryall, bound for the social at R. H. MOREY'S Tuesday night. An evening of rare enjoyment. Town meeting near at hand. May the best man win. The exercises at the academy Friday afternoon last were of unusual interest. The editors of the school papers outdid all previous attempts. E. C. PALMER, bag and baggage, was in town Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. George CARGELL, of Odessa, NY are visiting in Nichols. John FENDERSON'S mill property presents a scene of great activity. Within the large frame building millwrights and carpenters are at work, putting in the latest improved machinery for making flour by the roller process. This mill will be roller process throughout and being fitted with all the will doubtless be one of the finest mills in this section of the country. At the left and adjoining the flouring mill, is a saw mill with planer, matcher etc. and the huge logs are piled many feet in height. A person cannot realize what the sight is until they have seen it for themselves. It is safe to presume through Mr. FENDERSON'S industry the town and village of Nichols will be greatly benefited. The sociable at John DUNHAM'S last Tuesday night was largely attended, their home being full. Many conveyances wended their way up the hill to the DENHAM farm and those who did not walk up the hill might consider themselves lucky, as for ourselves, we did. The entertainment provided was of the most toothsome kind. Dr. N. H. KIRBY is home making a farewell visit before locating and commencing the practice of his profession.
