William Daugherty, wife and son were Thanksgiving day guests at the Lynn Daugherty home. . A large window, nearly six feet square, in the Jesse Eldredge home, was blown Into splinters lagt Saturday by the heavy wind. Fortunately no one was in the room at the time. Rev. J. E. Dean and family spent Thanksgiving day at the Charles Ferguson home in McCoysburg. Fred Markin and family, of Moody, met with an accident last Thursday evening when their automobile went into a ditch and turned over. Mr. Markin reteelved a cut on his hand which he had dressed at Francesville. Mrs. Markin received several painful bruises, but not serious.

Owing .to the disagreeable weather, which caught most farmers unprepared, we had a very small crowd at the services at Barkley church last Sunday morning. Those that faced the storm felt well repaid for doing so after hearing the splendid address of W. E. Johnstone, of Remington, on Sunday school work. Mr. Johnstone is county Sunday school superintendent of Jasper county. The services next Sunday will be as Sunday school at 10 o’clock, to- which all are invited. If you know much about the Bible, come and enlighten those who do not. If you know little about the Bible, come and know The Sunday school lessons are studying now are very practical and interesting.
