MT. AYR.

-From the Pilot Alex Miller was a Rensselaer visitor Saturdey and while there, bought twenty bushels of Irish lemons. Friday evening school will close for the holiday vacation. The instructors will go to their several homes and the students will have an enjoyable time rollicking. Scott Brenna went over south of Rensselaer during the week to mingle with a warm bunch that went out to crow roost in the evening to wage war on the black devils. They slayed some, but not a million. A. J. Hufty and family contemplate taking a layoff and will visit at Indianapolis, Stone Bluff and other points down state, leaving Saturday, providing a man comes to relieve him from the ardious duties as agent of the trans-continental. Sunday was one long to be remembered by R. J. Yeoman’s family, especially Mrs. Yeoman, as her neighbors and friends gathered in to remind her that she had just turned the 44th milestone in this valley of sunshine. The gathering was a surprise on her, as Robert and daughter had made the necessary arrangements and the guests did the rest. After an enjoyable day of visiting and feasting, the guests departed for home wishing her the return of many more birthday anniversaries. The Pilot family was remembered with a bounteous supply of birthday cake for which we return thanks.
