Smith and Mr. and Mrs. William Morriss, Mr. and Mrs. Hartley Church arid Mr. and Mrs. George Hart, the latter couple belonging to Earl Park, and also spending the winter there. Miss Bonner has returned looking much better and her severe lameness has been reduced to a mere limp and her host of friends ils indeed glad to have her home again. She was accompanied by her niece, of St. Louis, Mo., who was formerly Ruth Reeves. Rev. William Warriner and wife returned" on Monday from Columbus, O. , ~ Mrs. Bessie Graham, of Windfall, died Friday morning at 6:15 o’clock, having passed through .an operation for the removal of a fibroid tumor.

Wednesday she was removed from her home to the hospital, where 1 the operation was performed the ‘ following day, but being so weakened by suffering she could not rally and- passed over to join the son who preceded her to the great beyond several years ago. Mrs. Graham leaves a husband and two sons, one of the latter serving his country in the late war, and also | leaves three sisters and her aged i father and mother and a host of lovI ing friends who extend their deep j and sincere sympathy to her sor- ! rowing family. Interment took I took place at Windfall by the side of her son on Sunday. I Bert Edwards is having his home i raised to the extent of six feet in ! height. This will transform his cottage to the full two-story type of house. Dr. A. P. Rainier and wife were in Indianapolis on Wednesday of this week.

The work on the state bank building has begun and the vicinity around there reminds one of the j time the cyclone passed through here, leaving destruction in its wake, but we imagine that the results of the work will be a great credit to the community, as it is contemplated making the structure one of the ■ finest and most up-to-date banking institutions in this part of the state. At present the bank is occupying the rear portion of the Howard furniture store, one block north. Mrs. Ada Dobbins came from Pe-'

Her father was driving the car and, not having driven very much, turned out of the road a little 'too far and had to drive into the I ditch and -the car hit the fence, throwing 'his daughter out on her • back and shoulders, bruising her quite severely. Mrs. Jim Hawkins was taken to St. Elizabeth’s hospital the last of the week and was' operated on for adhesions, which had formed immediately after her operation last winter.
