SOUTH NEWTON.

The corn is needing rain. Rev. Parrett will preach next Sunday at Curtis Creek. Miss Virginia Holmes is working for Mr. Sayler, in Rensselaer. Jeff Smith bought two cows at the cow sale in Rensselaer Saturday Mrs. Benton Kelley and Aunt Abby Yeoman were in Rensselaer Saturday. Reuben Yeoman and John Rush have been hauling lumber from Rensselaer. Walter Smith and Miss Sarah Holmes were at the Kankakee Sunday. Threshing will be finished in this run, this week, if there is no bad luck. Charles Weiss’ brother and family, of Chicago, returned home after a yfsit of several days. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Overton visited her brother, Willie Markin and family over Saturday night and Sunday. A splendid sermon was delivered Sunday by Rev. Clark. He was accompanied by his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Brady. Grandma Livingston, of Crown Point, Mrs. Belle Hedlund, of Oklahoma, and Luther Hill, of Lowell, are visiting Mr. and Mrp. Pancoast and daughters. Sidney B. Holmes returned home Tuesday morning from North Dakota. He reports everything a great deal better than has been reported. The only trouble with their crop is that the straw is so short it can not all be cut with binders and the demand for headers has been so great that the factories can not supply it. The heads are well filled with a fine quality of grain. Elkins and S. H. Holmes will have a great deal more than if they had stayed here. Sam Holmes never worked a day on tne railroad himself, bet had, one of his ieams and his hired working there at five dollars a day, after their crops were in until harvest. Elkins did the same thing. It takes the Hoosiers to grasp every chance to make a dollar. Sidney is so well pleased with thfe country that he rented nearly 1,200 acres and will move in the spring.
