John Osborne, Jr., base recovered from the mumps in pretty good shape, hut says they are certainly no joke. Two new cases ot mumps have been reported, Pearl Johnson having quite a severe ease. Ella Bussell also has them. The social and spelling match given by the Ladies Aid at McOoysburg was well attended, but not by as many as usual, on account of the mumps. Mrs. C. A. Armstrong spelled all down. It was something new to all of the younger, generation but Was very interesting. The ladies cleared $lO, which goes to the church. Miss Ethel Parker returned from Monticello Saturday evening from a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Mcdonald. Mrs. McDonald accompanied her here to visit relatives over Sunday. There were four from this township to take the civil service examination at Rensselaer Saturday. F. E. Lewis stepped off of train No. 15 here Sunday noon and stated to the Monon agent that the Mon-on-Gifford railroad deal had been closed last Saturday night. This will indeed be good news to all the 7 farmers north and south^of here. There is an immense amount of grain comes down the Gifford road and good car service will no doubt add materially to an increase in freight.
