FAIR OAKS

Everything—even the dogs and cats seem to be glad to get out without wading the snow. Mrs. Abell, who has been sick for several weeks is still confined to the house with rheumatism. Mrs. C. A. Gundy went to Rensselaer this Wednesday to get supplies for the Red Cross workers. Mrs. Petty is still unable to get to school and Miss Deharty is teaching in her place. Mrs. Nettie Pritchett, of the Hills ranch, started today for a visit to relatives in Danville, Ky. .Chas. Jacks is moving his family from Rensselaer into the Bringle property on Front street. Mrs. Goble is visiting relatives in Monon for a few days. , Mrs. Alice Erwin visited this week in Rensselar and Morocco. Mrs. Jesse Garriott is still quite poorly with stomach trouble. Mrs. Cottingham was here the first of the week and stayed over night with Mr .and Mrs. Wendell. Jake Spitzer brought one of the twins over from Gary to see its grandmother, Mrs. Allen. Our high school boys went over to Morocco Friday to play basketball. Morocco came out a little ahea’d—— # but our boys are gaining right along, in experience, strength and weight.

We have read with astounding in-, teest the story in February 9, 1918 Saturday Evening Post, entitled, “The Thunders of Silence” by Irwin S. Cobb. This may account for the lack of an article which may have been expected to be in this isue of the Republican.
