The Cominunity club will hold its monthly meeting Friday evening. Mt. Hohner has the program shaped up and has secured some good talent. Everybody boost. Those who are on the program are Gilbert Seegcrist and McCollough, singing; Wm. Jeffries, lecture on Purdue; Jones on France; Duggleby on Australia, and others. Program starts at 8 p. m. . . Richard Bowie was substituting in Miss Delahanty’s room two days last week. Miss iDelahanty attended her uncle’s funeral in Illinois, but Richard did fine just the same. Art Leiby, who started out the other day to trade horses, traded seven time and the last trade he made he traded with a widbw across the river, .sight; unseen. Art walked home carrying a wooden horse and halter. That’s going some for a trader like Art. Boys, it’s no use having a grouch on when the assessor calls on you, for his instructions are to get you and every thing you have, even the i dog. Smile, darn you, smile.

More real activity and stunts than any other picture you have ever seen in “His Majesty, The American,” at the Primo Theatre, Tuesday night, March 30. -< J. Deardorf had a very sick spell of mumps. The neighbors all got out and buzzed his wood..' That is the kind of spirit there is in this township. Schrader bought a fine gray horse and now has a fine pair of . grays. Darn them old mules, anyway! ■ St. Patrick’s day in the evening was spent at School Wednesday evening with a large - crowd, but owing to the invitations not being sent out in time there were a good many riot there. Everybody drank tea and Paddy and Bridget did fine. Ice cream and' refreshments were served and the expenses were paid by the teachers, being their treat. A party was given by Mr. and Mrs. Seegrist Friday evening. Of course "Walter soon got a crowd together and. who should drop in but Prof. Jones of DeMotte and in his company was Vernie White. Of course they were shown a welcome time but during the card games Jones couldn’t keep his eyes off Vernie and Prof. Ashby was sure jealous but of ' course Jones had the lead and he kept it. Refreshments were served, music and singing galore and a good time in general for all. Those who were there: Ladies, Yeager sisters, Boyle, Poole, Gore, White, Duggleby, Seegrist, Albin. Men, Walter and Gib Seegrist, Ashby, Duggleby and son, Jones, Hans Rasmussen and Edd Sands got his invitation too late. Sam had a fine birthday but wouldn’t tell how old he was. M. Anderson has made up his mind to build a cement block store to replace the one which was burned down. Tefft can support two good stores good for the community. rso G f - The janitor’s wife, Mrs. Pittsley, is getting along nicely and Jake aint sorry either.
