Elmer Daniels, in the employ of the Watson Plumbing Co., of Rensselaer, erected a 40-foot windmill tower at the farm of S. W. Noland Wednesday, practically unaided. This is another of the many improvements Mr. Noland has been making on his farm the past few years. Mintie Williamson was taken quite sick at school Thursday and her condition was such on Friday that it was necessary to call a doctor. The Ladies Aid will give an entertainment and box social at McCoyshurg Saturday evening, Feb. 14. All the ladies, young and old, are requested to come and bring a box. Everyone invited to come out and have a good time. Mr. and Mrs. Gifford Marrs returned home Friday evening from their extended yisit with relatives in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. They lhave been gone since Thanksgiving. They will move to their own farm in Walker township in a few weeks. Ohas. Erh has bought the Steiger 120 acres lying on the east side of Mr. Ford’s farm. Mr. Erb’s home farm contains 120 acres and is very nicely improved, hut this last 120 is unimproved but has an excellent location, and is a very timely purchase as Mt. Eib has boys large enough to take care of it nicely. Miss Dora Phillips entertained her Sunday School class at her home Sunday afternoon, but owing to the cold day not many were out. Mrs. Chas. Stultz is some little better at this writing, but is still quite poorly. Morris Jacks and Wilson Bussell and Misses Ethel Parker and Ethel Miller called on Mr. and Mrs. Ed Oook Sunday afternoon.
