TRI-STATES UNION DEC. 1895
The elegant sleighing that we have enjoyed for several weeks, gives joy to the cardiac system of the juvenile coaster, and to some of a larger growth it is not particularly disagreeable to take a glide down the steep ascents that surround Carpenters Point. These beautiful moonlight nights are taken advantage of, and the hills are plentifully sprinkled with men, women and children, who make the air resound with their halloas. This is innocent sport and healthful, but care should be taken not to interfere with public travel. A team belonging to Isaac Clawson of Logtown, was run into Thursday night, and a runaway ensued. It therefore behooves the people who coast to keep their eyes open.
