NEWTON ITEMS.

The weather is fine and the voice of the “wild goose” is heard in the land. Chas. Y. Henkle, a teacher of Kankakee, snent Saturday, Sun day and Monday visiting relatives and fr ends in this township. Newton boasts of five graduates of the common schools this year. They are Emma Goetz, Mary Wuarthner, Winnie Sayler, Everett Halstead and Newton Warren. The yearly entertainment given by the township, will be held Saturday night, March 13th, at the Sayler school house. Everybody is invited to come and witness Newton township talent. Political excitement is not very intense in this part of Adam’s inheritance, but men are talked of for the different offices. Joseph Paxton is talked of for Trustee by the Democrats. He is a fine young man, and well qualified for the place. W. D. Bringle, an enterprising young teacher of this township,

departed for Kansas Tuesday last. We bid him God speed. Two of the Paxton boys—Will and Ralph—intend to start for Texas before long. Success to them. Mother’s Boy.
