NEWLAND.

We are having fine weather. The farmers are taking advantage of it. Some are sowing oats. Albert Hurley, of Laura, and Chas. Gilmore, of Parr, were in Newland on business Monday. Mrs. W. N. Jordan and daughter Nettie, spent several days with friends in Chicago and Evanston, 111. Miss Edna Dilly, teacher of the Canada school, spent Friday evening and Saturday with her parents at Hebron. Mrs. Ed Oliver visited from Thursday until Saturday with her husband, who is at Pittsburg, lird., conducting a stock sale. Mr. and Mrs. Newton Kuppke and Miss Alice Bingham, of Newland, spent Saturday night and Sunday with John Bowen’s, south of Newland. William Cooper went to Michigan City Monday to begin running Mr. Yeoman’s dredge boat, which has been idle since December. Misses Mattie and Ruth Anderson, who are working at Pleasant Grove, spent Sunday with their parents here, returning to work Monday. Charles Martin visited with his sister, Mrs. George Hansford, at Remington from Friday until Sunday, calling on Mr. Newton Bowman (?) on his way home Sunday afternoon. B. J. Gifford, president of the C. & W. V., and F. E. Lewis, general superintendent, came down from Kersey to Newland Monday, in their motor car, to inspect the unloading of the dry land dredge. Owing to the dry weather we are having some big prairie fires and have to keep guards out to save the houses. On Friday afternoon a large house and barn, about two miles east of Newland, were burned. It was quite a loss to the owner, B. J. Gifford.
