KANKAKEE VALLEY.

Ino Bright was a caller at the Gibbs home last Sunday. Mr. Hunter, of LaCrosse, is doing clearing work for C. D. Shook at DeMotte. Mesdames A. J. Bush and Bert Vandercar were Wheatfield goers last Saturday. Gerald Tilton, who is working near Kersey, visited his father here last Sunday. , Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Meadows, of Porter county, were callers at the Vandercar home. "The masquerade party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Morehouse last Saturday evening was a grand success. Walter Wiseman, Jr., who has rtfeen helping C. D. Shook for the past few weeks, finished his' w’ork last Saturday evening. T. F. Maloney, candidate for county clerk, and L. A. Bostwick, candidate for county surveyor, were circulating in Northern Jasper last Friday and Saturday. ri Wm. Mutchler took a load of onions to Valparaiso last Friday, where there is a good demand for a limited amount among the many boarding houses and hotels. Homer Wilcox, of Parr, who has been pressing hay, Close to Baums Bridge, moved to fourth Judson last Saturday, where he is going to press for Wolfe, the Walkerton hay buyer. John Hackshaw, who lives north of Wheatfield, is the owner of one of the finest herd of hogs in the county, among which is a hog that weighs at the very least 800 pounds. To see this hog is surely a sight. His hogs are Chester Whites. While assistipg in the loading of some heavy machinery last Saturday Walter Wiseman, Jr., got one of his hands badly mashed and bruised. Coming on the eve of his departure on a corn husking tour is surely a very unfortunate accident. ;

Tilton and Tition finished their pressing on the Ray ranch for Mr. Stembel and sons last Saturday. They have had a long run at the hay pressing business, and to make an average of 14 tons of hay per day with a Big Bale Spencer is surely a record hard to beat. A large number from here attended the funeral services of the late Samuel Clark at the Wheatfield M. E. church last Sunday at 11 o’clock. Interment in Wheatfield cemetery. Mr. Clark has lived in these parts for a long tintfe and was highly respected by all who knew him. A host of friends mourn their loss and extend to the bereaved family and relatives their sympathy.
