FAIR OAKS.

Roy Gundy came home sick last week but Is able to be out again. Mr. Alien was appointed class eader tor the M. E. prayer meeting. Misses Florence McKay and Ruth Gundy visited home folks over Sunday. Mrs, Leslie Wayne visited Tuesday with Mrs. Cloyd Clifton, east of town. N. Littlefield and son, Harold, were here on business the first at the week.

The Penwrlght Orchestra is engaged to play for tire ball at Gundy Hall Saturday evening. Miss Fern Casey and Mrs. Carl Carpenter and Mrs, Ackerman went to the county seat Tuesday. N. A. McKay had the misfortune 1 to get his right arm disabled while at work in Monon Tuesday. Miss McFarland returned to her home in Marion after an eight months term of teaching here. The entertainment held in the school house Saturday evening by the club was very good and well attended. Misses Ola and Alma Umphress, Mabel Downey and Kate Trump visited in Roselawn Sunday at the parsonage and also called on Miss Iva Dunn there. Reports speak very favorably of the big Sparks circus, which is to be at Rensselaer Wednesday, May 21, and our people will probably be there in force, as they generally go in for this sort of entertainment. The high school petition has been pretty well circulated by Frank Goff, Felix Erwin, Al Blake, Bam Potts and W. McConnell. They report that they have quite a large majority of the voters of the township on their list, and nearly every one seems to. think that Fair Oaks is the proper place for it. In an article in Tuesday’s Republican the writer seemed to think that F. M. Goff was the only one carrying the petition, but we wish to inform him that all of the above named men are circulating the petition and were willing to give their time and Influence in favor of Fair Oaks.
