Winfred Pullin is here from Alabama for a visit with relatives, old friends and prospective seekers after “black belt” knowledge. Dr. C. E. Johnson returned last Friday from Pittsburg, Pa., where he spent Christmas with a brother who lives there, and his parents, who came from Council Bluffs, lowa, to visit their two sons. Ella Johnson, 18 years of age, daughter of Thos. Johnson, of near Fair Oaks, died Sunday. Appendicitis was the cause of death. It might have been cured by a timely operation.

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Reeves and two sons, of Remington, were guests of relatives here Sunday. The boys remained for a visit and their parents will come after them New Year’s day. Mr. and Mrs. Balser Kohler have returned to Kansas City, Mo., after a visit of about two months here.

Kindig, is teaching at Lebanon, Ind., this year, and returned there Sunday afternoon after spending the holiday vacation with her parents at Monticello.

Miss Carrie Pierce was also present, as also was the superintendent of the Remington schools. A. S. Laßue has concluded a sale of 160 acres of Will Daugherty’s land in Barkley township to Alf Lowman, for $75 per acre, or $12,000 for the tract.

Paul Glazebrook has been spending the Christmas holidays at home. He is teaching mathematics and mechanical drawing in the Galesburg, 111., high school, which has a vacation of two weeks. Galesburg is a city of 22,000 and the high school has an attendance exceeding 700. George Platt, who has been working for Frank Kresler for some time, played a huge joke on his employer last week. He went to Danville, 111., and telephoned back to Prank that he had been married. Later he returned home and informed Frank that he had not been married but had just taken that means of “joking” his employer. It was certainly some joke. E. M. Thomas received a letter from his brother, Andrew, of Montmorenci, a few days ago, which lm formed him of a bad accident that Andrew suffered a few days ago. He is running an elevator at Montmorenci and had been inspecting cars. As he climbed out of a car his foot caught and he fell, breaking both bones of the left leg, a little above the ankle. Larsh expects to go there to see him in a few days.

Rainier is usually a man of peace, but he was on the warpath Sunday morning when he found one of the little Seidenberg maple trees in his parking bent over until it was broken off. The tree, which is one of three in front of his house, cost him $2.50, and what was more valuable, it had just procured a good grooving start. Some person, probably a thoughtless boy, had pulled it over until it snapped almost off about three feet from the ground. Mr. Rainier cut the tip off and will try to grow the stub, but it will doubtless be quite backward. He said he would have forgotten his religion for a little while Sunday morning if he could have laid hands on the vandal that broke the tree.
