Tlie Shelby telephone lines form a perfect network of wires in the air, and the merry "hello" from farm house and village emphasizes the fact that this gay and festive old world glides joyously on.
Theodore L. Fraley. of Des Moines, la., is here to make an extended visit among relatives. Mr. Fraley- was a resident of Linden forty-five years ago, an'! was engaged in the mercantile business in a building which stood where ths McCallum hardware store now stands. He is 70 years old and iR the only surviving member of the family of John Fraley, who settled in Madison township in 1S38.
The people of Madison township do not seem to fully realize the educational advantages oli'ered by the Linden school. We have a school supported by general taxation, and it is the duty and business of not ouly parents of fcchool children, but also of every tax-payer in the township to investigate its merits and demerits to take full advantage of the one and correct the other. The high school is, probably, the most conspicuous department of the school, largely because it is one of only three schools of our county outside of Crawfordsville, which offers a three years' State course. Again, our school should be visited in order to realize and appreciate its most excellent facilities for teaching physical science. A college graduate remarked on entering the laboratory recently that it bore a striking resemblance to Peck scientific hall. Surely in this department our children are receiving not only a thorough but a practical education in the fundamental laws of natural physics. On visiting the laboratory recently the writer was informed of the thorough equipment of every department of the study, such as light, heat, sound and electricity: and that there is not a broken piece in the apparatus. It is the earnest request of the teachers that the school receive frequent visits from its friends and patrons, and especially from those whose names are on the subscription paper circulated last winter.
SH1LOH.
Protracted meeting has closed here with no additions. Ex-Deputy Sheriff R. B. Kennedy is visiting here this week.
Some of the people of Mace don't seem to know that the election is over. Frank Chadwick, one of the Shiloh scribes, will graduate at Mace this term of Echool.

Elmer Chadwick is interested in the Clark estate. John, you had better get a move on you. That mad Chadwick is a hustler and no mistake.
Horse buyers from Scotland were here thi6 week. They are paying S5 per head for good farm plugs. A well bred driver will bring from S60 to S100.

The majority of the farmers want to sell or rent their farms. They say they can rent them for more than they can get by farming them. How about the renters?
Deorge Smith and Henry Dice will start lor Tennessee Jan. 4th to hunt coons and ducks. We doubt not but what they will find plenty of "coons" but they will be furless.
Farmer Elliott has decided not to go to Dayton, O., since learning that there is no room there for any more gardeners. He has taken a job of blasting for Ferguson & Co.'s brick yard.
John Carroll is the only farmer in this neighborhood or any other that we have heard from who has never bad the hog cholera among his hogs. Mr. Carroll has been farming for twenty year6 and has never yet had a diseased hog on his place.
A hunting and trapping party passed through here this week. They had three wagons and an 18-foot (boat, a young army of dogs and 500 traps Their outfit WHS complete with everything that is necessary for a successful expedition. They were bound for North Dakota.
We now have a nice flag pole planted in the school yard about 70 feet high, and Old Glory can be seen floating in the breeze every nice day. It took 12 men and 10 bosses five and one-half hours to erect this pole after it was on the ground, besides breaking an inch rope, twisting a coupling pole in two and knocking the skin off the horses' knees, caused by falling on the frozen ground.
The entertainment given nere on Christmas eve unaer the management of Ted Linn was a grand success. The play was one of Shakespeare's and the way it was rendered was a surprise to many. Each participant played his part exceedingly well, considering they were amateurs. The play showed practice and thorough training throughout and only lacked the proper scenery to give it an excellent effect. Shiloh has never yet given an entertainment of this kind that was not up to the top notch.
