NORTHERN JASPER.

Well, Ground Hog Day proved to be one of the niceat days we have tiad for some time. So that means more winter and more wood to be cut. Rev. Abel spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Walter French. । The Fox and Wolf Drive was some drive, eh? Every one thought that a hike of forty eleven miles was just a little farther than their patience would go and just a few showed up at the end of the drive, and all driving an automobile at that. v Good intentions usually pass away with the dark brown taste that caused you to adopt them. Ruby White and Katherene Cullen were out auto riding Sunday p. m., but please don't ask us who with, for we don’t like to tell bn the girls. The Minor sale, last Thursday drew an awfully large crowd. The weather being pleasant and also Mr. Minor had some very fine looking stock. The sale totaled him about SB,OOO. As a rule most of the things that you do not understand are none of your business any way. The infant child of Schuyler Coleman and wife was buried Saturday afternoon. Miss Anna Huneicker writes her friends that she has left Bloomington, where she has been attending college, and has gone to Washington, D. C., where Ter brother is, to complete her course, which will be about June. Sylvester Austin and wife, who moved to Tipton county, were in Wheatfifeld Saturday looking after some business and also shaking hands with old friends. They are well pleased with their new home. There are a few cases of grippe around town, but all seem to be improving. ' " “ Ho, Ho, Plain View, we should worry over .what you say about living on Huckleberry knob, as it is far better than living in the cattail swamps of Plainview, and growing web-footed trying to pulLyour feet out of muskrat holes, saying nothing of the mud. x Your scribe spent Sunday with friends at North Judson. Mr. Cooper was the guest of Lura Asher Saturday evening. The Community club at Tefft Friday night was quite well attended, so we were told and Mr. Anderson sang the “Whistling Coon,” now he is an A-l singer and if any body wants to hear him sing, just tell him so and he won’t refuse. Thanks for your invitation Plain View, but am sorry we haven’t got a sleigh and can’t even afford to keep Old Dobbin. All we have in our possession at present is an old gray mule, who lives on post hay .and sunshine, and being rheumatic he holds one of his feet off .the ground three-fourths of the time, so you see the remainder of time that he did go on four feet wouldn’t be sufficient and safe enough to risk such a trip to your place, but will come later when your cabbage crop is on. . _——-— -—■—
