WALKER ITEMS.

Wheat promises a good crop. Harvest is now on hand; Corn-plowing will have to be laid by for a while; that is what most of our farmers hate. We are having nice, little growing showers to-day; that is what the farmers have been wishing for. Mr. Shrader is building a new summer kitchen. Mr. Fritz, of Wanatah, was home on a visit last week. Mrs. E. Reckets, of Gillam t’w’p, was not expected to live, last Wednesday, but at this writing is considerably better. Dr. Stalliamer is medical attendant. Miss Mollie Salvin, of this place, is making preparations to start in a few weeks for Louisville, Ky., to visit her aunt, and where she will probably remain till next spring. We note G. Me. will not relish it as it will end his pleasant visits up east. Uncle Ben, a good old honest Democrat, of this place, is delighted with the prospect of good crops. | Timothy Connor had an ice i cream supper at his residence last Saturday. A large number were

present, and good order and fun prevailed. We are all pleased with our road supervisor, F. H., and think that next year we will elect him to a constableship. A little bare-footed stranger made its appearance at the home of Ham Reckets, last Thursday. Ham has concluded to keep it. Robert Zick is on the sick list. Park Overton was visiting at the residence of George Andrus last week. I was passing the residence of Geo. Andrus the other day and noticed Jerome rigging up his buggy preparaty to an important trip east. Grover Duce. June 25, 1886.
