Rollin Stewart came up from Lafayette Saturday morning for a few hours’ visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Stewart. Paul Stephens went to Monticello Wednesday and returned home next day with his wife and baby, who had been visiting with her sister, Mrs. Ray McDonald. Trustee W. E. Poole and the members of the advisory board, W. S. Lowman Chas. Erb and R. V. Johns, went to Terre Haute Monday via auto to attend a road machinery demonstration. Threshing will begin here this week. There are considerable damaged fields of wheat and oats in some places, and where the oats were cut in good shape and well shocked, they are keeping good, while others are growing in the shock. A very large acreage of oats cannot be saved at all. Some have resorted to mowing them down wherever the ground will permit.
