Ford, Wash and Simon Cook attended the festival at Parr Saturday, making the trip in Mr. Drake's Buick. R. C. McDonald and F. L. Peregrine attended the big closing out sale at Gifford Friday. Frank brought home several pounds of fresh fish, that found a ready market. Eddie Rose’s broken arm is progressing very slowly. It was broken several weeks ago, but healed up abnormal, hence it had to be straightened, causing a much longer delay in healing. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Armstrong and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Armstrong spent Sunday with Robt. Drake and family. Mr. and-Mrs. Alfred Armstrong left on the evening train at Francesville for their home in Michigan City. Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Zard, of South Dakota, Mrs. Tom Walters, Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Parker, Mrs. Charles Stackhouse and Floyd Spencer and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bussell took dinner with George Parker and family Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Phillips were called to Monticello Saturday to the bedside of Mr. Phillips’ mother, who was reported seriously ill. She was to have an operation performed Saturday afternoon, but at this writing no word had been received from there. Mr. Gifford is dredging the Pinkamink creek again this fall with his dry land dredge. The machine is now down to the Tillet bridge. Instead of floating in the ditch, this machine is run on the bank and thus time and expense of moving bridges is saved. But a satisfactory outlet will never be had until the rock ledges at the Parker and Moore bridges are removed, and to do this would cost in the neighborhood of a half million dollars.
