It is quite healthy in this community at present, no one reported on the sick list. We were pleased to hear from Wabash township. Let us hear from you quite Often, brother correspondent. Mrs. Martha Murray, of Decatur has been visiting relatives at this place the past few days Mi's Beatv, of Bluecreek township, was the guest of Wm. Smith and family last Saturday. Harry Cordua and wife and Miss Fannie Cordua, of Decatur attended church at this place last Sabbath. Messrs. Lee Waitersand Samuel Acker attended the wedding of D. B. Erwin and Orpha McMillen at Decatur last Wednesday evening. Mies McMillen was one of Pleasant Mills’ young ladies, and we join in wishing her and her better half success in life. The boys and girls gave Dora B. Erwin, and wife an old-fashioned belling last Friday evening at the residence of Henry Martz. The boys say it was no surprise to D. B as he came prepared for the occasion with two boxes of two-for-nickel. Dr. Harper and others were visited by thieves last week and relie' ed of corn and chickens an<f other articles. Pleasant Mills has a gahg of thieves and a house of ill repute right in her midst, and there is strong talk of cleaning out the ranch which parties arc known. The good people of this place will see that the proper authorities be notified and then an indictment before the grand jury will be the result You violators of the law had better heed the warning ere it will be too late. • ■ A Leader.

Linn Grove items. ' m * * Solomon Mtfsser has returned from a six weeks trip to Missouri and Kansas. The rrsidcnce of Louis Brininger situated four miljs northwest of town was destroyed by fire on Tuesday afternoon with all their household goods, except one chair and one trunk containing sixty dollars that their son had sent home from the west, and which arrived one day before the fire. Mr. Brininger was at Bluffton at the time and the wife and children were at the barn culling potatoes. The ■mother, on going to the house on some errant, found the interior all on fire, when at a great risk ran up stairs and rescued the trunk containing the money. Mrs. B. had carried some fire out of the house some time before and was using a fire in the dooryard, and the supposition is that the origin of the fire came from dropping some fire in the house while carrying it out. The house was an old one, bnt yet it is a severe loss to them especially at this time of the season. Rev. D. B. Reckard, of Ossian, filled the pulpit at the Baptist church Sunday morning and evening. Although the divine is not enjoying good health, yet his subject was ably handled and instructive to his audience. Should Bro. Reckard’e health be improved and the spiritual condition of the church improved by his visit among us we would then have the foremost wish of our heart. Several of Geneva folks passed through here on last Sabbath to attend tne funeral of John McFadden. Our school ground is being cleared of the debris, walks made, etc., by some of the patrons, but they seem to be in a helpless minority, the majority seems contented by standing off and looking on. There are many men of just as many minds, you know.

Some.forty or fifty married people of town and country, headed by the Linn Grove Band, repaired to the residence of David Runyon on Tuesday evening, as !i >ugh they had smelled his venison jusi >. >ught from the Badger state. How -ver, the commotion was kept from Divid’s knowledge, until all of a sudden like a clap of thunder from a clear sky, the band struck up cn one of their soul ■ rring pieces just outside of the house David was soon out and around the house to acquaint himself of the situation, when e found himself in custody of a half hun lied or more of his friends. Surprised was no name for our host, he v> as soon old to gently relax his nerves and do himself no harm. The gathering had not ten to eat venison nor to shuck his corn, >ut to remind him of a little embarassing ti ne which took place just thirty year.ago when he offered his hand to Miss Ada French, which she blushingly accepted. When the official of the ceremony, by some well-chosen interogations, belched forth as the report from a shot-gun, wqre to them directed which were nervously answered as they usually are in the affirmative, and on tro'mise that they would cleave to each other in adversity, neither forsake one another in prosperity, the twain weWe made one’, which obligation lias been faithfully kept until now—the thirtieth anniversary of their matrimonial journey has been reached. The evening was cheerfully*spent by excellent musk and pleasant conversation. At eleven o’cock a sumptuous supper was served in which meats of the wilds of Michigan was predominant, with these delicate viands that would discount a wedding feast. It is useless to state that each one was the of a raging appetite, especially when put in poseession of a <1 flunk of j<.rk. After supper the banc was again on duty until the clock marker the division of two days, when the couple we re presented with various presents as a. token of regard in which they are held Alter heartily wifthjug Mr. and Mrs. R a pleasant continuance of their life’s journey which should reach if to their diamond at least to their goiden wed ding day, when all songht their own homes. When the springs of the wagon that H. & N. gather shanghae berries in clapped to'rethei like the knees of a Belshazzar on returning from the Runyon festival, which was not so on going, then a partial estimate of the supper devoured could be given.
