NORTHERN JASPER.

We wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year. The Christmas tree exercises at Tefft Saturday night were well attended and a nice program was rendered. We are glad to hear that Mrs. John Pinter, who has been very sick, has improved greatly and is able to be up a part of the time. Mr- and Mrs. Jeroine Nelson’s daughter, who lives at Mishawaka, is home for » few days’ yisit. Our band, of Wheatfield, did exeellently at the Community club at Tefft Friday night, considering the length of time they have been organized. The Charles White family has moved into the George Belcher property and L. Albin and wife are preparing to move into their house vacated by Mr. White. Mr. \ Boyle, the mail man, has moved < into the DeArmond house where it will be more convenient for him to do his work, saving those long, cold drives to find -from his route home. • Mr. and Mrs. Lase Langdon, Tom Jensen and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Lou Grube, E. Huber, Hermie Langdon, wife and children, Olen Minor and George Hiel and family ate Christmas dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Minor, Sr. A married man can be the head of his own business and yet not be his own boss. Enos Hibbs entertained of his children and their families at a Christmas dinner Thursday and all enjoyed the day, as it was the first time the children have all been at home together for several years. Just ask Hermie what price does he sell his best silk shirts at, and will know the rest. * Mrs. Jake Heil, who has been poorly for some time, was taken to the hospital at Valparaiso Monday for treatment. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson Bruce and children, of Rensselaer and Lena Jasperson, of Chicago, came home to spend Christmas with their mother, Mrs. Jasperson, and family. Well, the holidays are about over and Butch still remains in bacheiors’ Bill Jefferies says his Ford is as tricky as a mule, but instead of it takes a bee-line for the ditch. The ? first time Bill thought it was the driver’s falUt and the second time he thought it just happened. But when it went into the ditch with his boy, Bill concluded it was all in the Ford, so if anyone has a yoke of oxen they wish to dispose of, we are sure Jeff would give you a trade, as he is looking for something that will keep The road. Charles Gurber and wife, of Hobart, spent Friday with the latter’s sister, Mrs. Hennie Langdon, and as Charlie is buying poultry for a commission house, while going through here bought several coops from the farmers.
