ADDITIONAL MONDAY’S LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

L. H. Markley has arranged to hold a public sale at his place in the west edge of town, Wednesday, Feb. 2d. Look for bills and further announcement later. Yesterday was the middle day of January. We are moving right along and the days are getting longer perceptably, which always seems to help the winter days pass oft with less hardship. The funeral of the year old baby pf Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Michael, which died Saturday, was held this Monday morning at 10 o’clock at the family residence southeast of town. Rev. G. H. Clarke, of the Christian church, conduced the service. Burial was made in'Weston cemetery. James Walters went to Chicago today, where he expects to become a patient at the SL Mary of Nazareth hospital and undergo an operation for a hernia that has been causing him some trouble for several years. It is probable that he will have to remain at the hospital for three or four weeks. Mrs. A P. Burton and Mrs. H. L. Brown spent Sunday in Chicago with their aunt, Miss Cordelia Monnett, who suffered a stroke of paralysis Tuesday of last week. They found her condition very little changed over what it was just after the stroke. Only her left side is affected, and she is unable to eat much, has some fever and is drowsy most of the time. She is about 72 years of age and the doctor in attendance said it was difficult to tell how the affliction would terminate. She may overcome it, and again, death may resulL She is receiving the very best of care. Isaac Alter, of Forest, Clinton county, lias been visiting his brothers, John, Amos and Dave, of Union township, since last Thursday, returning home today. He was raised in Jasper county, but moved to Clinton county in 1894. He raises Duroc-Jersey hogs, which he asserts are the only real hog, but Amos, who is an O. I. C. fancier, says they don’t even look like a hog. Both finally agreed that either is good enough if you raise the thoroughbreds. Isaac’s visit was not a long one but he has a lot of things to keep him busy on his home farm and can’t get away long at a time.
