You will have to get beyond the bulwark of civilization. _ A large number from here attended the home coming day celebration at Rensselaer.

John Mills, one of our boys who is working away from home, was a Wheatfield caller last Wednesday evening. He came home to get a good, home-made *hair cut. John went out of the shop whistling like a nightingale, so his hair cut must have agreed with him. The old time dance held at the Primo last Friday evening was well attended by a lively bunch of people, and all report having a fine time. At these dances the quadrille is the main dance, with which all of the older set is familiar, but it is surely heart-rending to see some of our voung men inutile* w me Afthislively/timelyandartiatic dance. Jack Thorne has been the { manager of all of the old time , dances held and he is also the call--1 er, so if you want a real good time and desire to revive and vitalize the spirit of your boyhood days, । come out and try yourself at the next dance to be staged in the near , future. i Mr. and Mrs. William Asher, of , Montana, are visiting the former’s । folks here at this writing.

Mr. * and Mrs. Olan Minor and family, who have been in the west for a couple of years, returaed a few days ago. Mr. Minor said that he like the part of the west where he was located, but that the hot, dry weather almost ruined the hay and other feed crops, making it hard for a person to keep his stock unless he had hay shipped in, which would cost over S3O a ton. He had a sale at which he disposed of his live stock, but he is undecided as to whether he will return to the west in the spring or locate some place in Indiana. Olan looks exceedingly well, which speaks volumes for the " healthy climate of the west.
