OAK GROVE.

'Farmers have begun plowing in this neighborhood. Th passenger train is again on the Gifford railroad. Preaching next Saturday night at the school house. We can get no service from the Rensselaer telephone line ,as it is down and the phones need repair. Last week during warm weather some ladies were buying seeds, preparatory to making garden, but changed their minds Friday. Ernest Paddock, of near Monticello, visited with Lloyd Shell over Sunday. He failed to make connections at Fair Oaks to come to Kniman so had to hire a man to bring him. Last Friday was Clayton Weaver’s birthday, and quite a number of friends and relatives called to surprise him. Everyone brought well filled baskets and enjoyed the music and singing. All departed wishing him many more happy birthdays.
