The Monon Booster Club did not materialize with thier band at McCoysburg Wednesday evening as billed. Two members of the band came and expected the others to follow, but seems they forgot their itinerary. Occasionally a man or two comes this way, quitting the onion fields in the marsh.

Holmes and Vilas Jacks, who are working for George Parker, are holding the record for corn plowing. They plowed 65 acres over the ■second time in just two days and a half. If anyone can beat it let him come forward. Miss Alice McDonald was taken to a sanitarium In Indianapolis last week to undergo a course of treatment for a severe nervous breakdown.

McCoysburg and community have begun a crusade against drunks. Sunday at the ball game on W. A. Stephen’s place there were four or five drunks and they became very annoying, in fact, took out their bottles and drank in the presence of women and children. Mr. Stephens had warrants issued in Squire Bussell’s court for the arrest of the fellows, and Wednesday Prosecutor. C. M. Sands and Constable Wm. Childers came and rounded up one Jim Haynes at Monon and brought him before the court, Where he pleaded guilty to drunkenness in a public place and was fined $1 and costs, $11.50 in all, which he paid.
