Miss L’Waive Mallory, who spent the summer months at her home in Toledo, Ohio, has returned to resume her work as a member of the high school faculty. Mrs. James Walters, at her home on North Forest Street, was surprised Thursday evening by about tnirty-five friends, who informed her that it was her birthday. The evening was most pleasantly spent. A youthful couple plithed their troth as old timers say at the county clerk’s office Thursday, when Lorah Pearl Hess, 18 years of age, and Grace Belle Thompson, 16 years of age, were married by Rev. J. P. Green. They will reside t>A a farm in Gillam township. Today is being held the first of the fall meetings of the Ladies’ Literary iSociety at the home of the president, Mrs. M. D. Gwin.

Healey, quartermaster of the second battalion, third infantry, went to Indianapolis today and will co-operate with other quartermasters in getting things in readiness at the speedway for the big military spectacle next Monday. The troops are to be assembled at the speedway Sunday, Company M leaving Rensselaer at 6:30 Sunday morning.

W. M. Gaskell, advance agent of the Chautauqua, came yesterday and is getting everything in readiness for the chautauqua tomorrow. The platform superintendent during the chautauqua will be W. E. Hightower, who is well known by reputation as the quarterback of Northwestern University. If he puts the Same spirit into the chautauqua that he did into football there will be a lively time during the coming week. The top wheat price is quoted at 90 cents, or 5 cents better than yester-t day, while oats have gone to 28 cents and corn to 71 cents. There is a strong tone to the market and it is generally estimated that almost 60 per cent of the crop has been hrashAd. Another fortnight of good thrashing weather will enable many to get their crop safely in elevator or crib. Much grain is coming in and the oats are in first-class condition except for being dark. It is so much better than seemed possible two weeks ago that all should be very happy. We are, just on prospects.
