•'* ■ Steele Mrs. Allie An drews and daughter,' Vera are still re-rv low with lung fever. Diek Riettur who has been dangerously ill with lung fever is slowly improving. Quite a number from this place attended protracted meeting at I nion last Sunday night. Jim Sullivan and wife of Berne, Ind., spent last Sunday with Will Boze and family of this place. Those that were present at the Epworth League last Sunday evening claim it to be the liest they ever attended. May it still grow in interest. Mr. Chester Shinn and Miss Birdie Davis were quietly married at the bride’s home last Sunday. Rev. Peters officiating. There were only about eighteen invited guests present but a grand time and a good dinner were enjoyed by all. The bride and groom were the receivers of many useful presents.

Owing to the prevalance of measles Eugene Morrow returned home from his commercial studies at Indianapolis last Monday. Lewis Justus of Delphos, Ohio, and Rufus Whitney of New Corydon. Ind., made us a pleasant call Monday. The former was enroute to Bluffton. The Jefferson township itemizer in speaking of the Kranor oil well, erred in stating that one half interst of the well belonging to Hardison, he should have said Hartford Oil Company. Joseph Anderson of Marion, made us a social call Wednesday. While here he purchased a new buggy being the third one he Ixnight at the Dunbar shop, the two former he has worn out by constant use. Joseph stays by his convictions. Likens, Gee <& Dean of Geneva, have leaser! a block of land south of town and are proceeding to develop the same. The first well will be located on the farm of Badgely Anderson about two miles south of town, the second will probably be on the land of Samuel Opliger. A former test on this farm was flattering and ‘ the present undertaking is looker! upon with no small degree of success to all parties concerned. So may it be. I

Bad For the Business. “Yes. I bad to let him go.” replied the boss bartier to the regular customer when the latter asked an explanation of the absence of his pet barber. •Why?” “Well, he insisted on raising whiskers.” “Raising whiskers? Great Scott! Isn't this a free country. where a man may raise whiskers if he so chooses?” "Yes. tlii- is a free country, and a man can do pretty much as be likes, but there's one thing lie can't do and work tor me. and that's it." "Why do you object?" "For three reasons. The first is that he was a rather cross looking fellow anyway. Whiskers would make him look cross.-r* In the second place, to i raise whiskers it would be necessary for him to look like a Weary Willie I for two or three weeks. In the third plaee-aud tins is reason enough, even if there were uo other—if he ; honld I succeed in raising a good looking beard, he would set an example that might'be followed by some customers. The result would be that instead of getting shaved three or four times a week, or even every day. they would content themselves with getting their whiskers trimmed once a fortnight or once a week. Such a move would seriously affect the cash box and for that reason is not to be tolerated. “How many borbm have you sc, a wearing beards? Eiery bar 'st realizes the force of my objection. Oh. yes, every man has constitutional rights that al! should ooserve. 3o hare I.”— St. Louis Star. Thoma. Jrtrrm as a Letter Writer. Mr Jefferson probably wrote more letters with his own aand taan any other public man that ever lived. The extent of his correapondenre may be inferred from the fact that XlMff let ters nearly folded and briefed were | preserved by him and found carefully file,! away at the time of Ma death. | with copies of the replies sent to more than ItJckkl, These, however, were only a small portion of his correspondence. as he retained only those he considered of future usefulness or importance. Stenography was not invented at that time. Every one of his letters was written with hia own hand and with great care, although after breaking his wrist while minister to France it became a great labor to him. His penmanship was small, plain and legible, every letter lieing perfectly formed, and his account books are kept in so small a band that many of the pages cannot be read without a magnifying glass. Jefferson was ambidextrous. He could write equally well with either band. When his wrist was broken, be learned to write with his left hand which became as skillful as the other’ It would have been Impossible for him to have carried on his extensive eorrespondence without being able to relieve his right nand at lntervala.-<’hi-cago Record. Divided the Remedy. The Philadelphia Record tells a story of a physician of that city who was called to see an old Irishman and his wife, down with colds. He advised quinine and whisky as nn antidote 'i ou must both take It,” he said "Take It every three hours- two grains of quinine and a swallow of whisky ” The next day he called again. The man was up and about, but bls wife was in bed. “Did you follow my la. struct long?” asked the doctor. "To the letther," replied the husband. “How much quinine have you left?’ was the next question. ‘Sure, Ot t'lnk she have taken th’ whole av ft.” said the man. “And didn't you take U, too?’ asked the doctor.
