D. H. Yeoman went to Ambia this morning, taking his little granddaughter, Lois Yeoman, back to her home after she hpd visited here for about two weeks with the families of her two grandfathers, D-. H. Yeoman and Lucius Strong. 4* . ____________ Miss Lottie Grey, daughter of John A. Grey, south of Rensselaer, went to Surrey this morning for a short visit. She expects to start for Oklahoma City next week to visit the family of Charles Scott, formerly of this county, and possibly will decide to make that her future home. At the M. E. church this Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock occurred the marriage of Mr. Francis F. Lakin, of Parr, to Miss Margaret Kullis, daughter pf Mr. and Mrs. F. Kullis, of Union township. Mr. and Mrs. Kullis will reside upon a farm, but have not yet decided upon a place. Frank J. Tillett, of Gillam township, on account of whose sickness with pneumonia the law suit was postponed, is now considerably improved and will probably entirely recover. Sheriff Hoover was in Gillam township Tuesday and inquired after Mr. Tillett, who at one time was in a quite critical condition. The band boys in black face and flashy “coon” costumes, gave a street parade this afternoon to help advertise their minstrel show for tonight. The chilly air did not make the band boys feel like staying out very long in the thin costumes, but the parade was very attractive and will doubtless help augment the attendance, which looks now to be a packed house. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Tryon arrived home today from Sacketts Harbor, N. Y.. where they had been since the first of December. There was snow on the ground and sleighing when they reached Sacketts Harbor, which is on Lake Ontario, and there was sleighing every day for three months. The lake was frozen out several miles and the sleighing was fine on the lake.

Gary 1b alarmed about the constant danger at the Aetna powder mills In Lake county and is making a demand that the mills be removed. The concern manufactures powder, dynamite and nitro-glycerine. The mills are only two miles from Gary and a serious explosion would do great damage in that city. Under the Indiana law a neighboring cjbf .can proceed against powder mills ts it can be shown that they endanger life or property therein. This is certainly a Marchy March. Yesterday was as beautiful a day as ever happened in early spring. During the night a stiff wind came along and blew a regular gale most of the night. This morning the sky was cloudy and at about 8 o’clock flurries of snow descended and the wind whipped them aroung in every direction. This is the 15th day of the month and March has not deceived us like it did last year. Farmers are all ready for the spring work and if favorable conditions occur next week it is quite probable that there will be considerable oats sowing then.
