A merry crowd of young folks gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Platt on North Division street last night to extend their greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Platt’s daughter, Agnes. The occasion was Miss Platt's 19th birthday and her callers came as a great surprise to her. Mrs. Platt had secretly made arrangements for the entertainment of the guests. About 35 of Miss Platt’s young friends were present. The surprise was a great success and all had a good time.

Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Hazlett and family, of Kankakee, 111., who were returning overland in their Reo automobile from a visit at Warsaw, met with a very discommoding accident near here yesterday. When about five miles north of town, about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the machine struck a sunken place across the road, caused by a wash-out. The driver did not see it in time to stop and the machine struck it squarely with full force. The front and rear wheels on the left side were completely shattered and broken from the axles. Fortunately, the occupants of the machine were unhurt Mr. Hazlett and family took a train here for Kankakee this morning and will return later with two new wheels and drive the car to Kankakee. In tfhe meantime The Republican is authorized by Mr. Hazlett, Jr., to sell the car for whatever it will bring, the minimum sum acceptable, however, being limited to 30 cents.
