Downs’, west of Rensselaer, Saturday to spend Sunday with his wife and children, who are temporarily staying with her parents until their new house is completed. The first regular meeting of the MeCoysburg Epworth League Sunday night was well attended and the keen interest taken was gratifying to everyone. Miss Edna Lefler is leader for March 10th. Everybody welcome. W. E. Poole and family hove moved back to his father’s farm from Rensselaer. Mr. Poole had a sale at this farm four years ago and moved to Muncie to engage in the brick manufacturing business, but having disposed of their plant there, they came back here to live. John Jordan and Bob Drake went to Lafayette Saturday to attend the funeral of John Clapp, held there Saturday afternoon. Mr. Clapp owned the farm where Mr. Jordan now lives. He was quite well known here, as he made frequent visits to his farm here during the summer. The “Francesville prairie” has . undergone almost a complete change of farmers this spring. Frank, Bob and Jet Lowery moved over nearer Francesville. Two of these farms will be occupied by. the land owners themselves. J. E. Clark has moved to the farm recently vacated by Sam Karr. Taylor Hawkins and family, of Gif Jord, returned home Tuesday after a four weeks’ visit with relatives in Tennessee. Mr. Hawkins says the oats were sown there and many were plowing for corn.
