BARKLEY.

The Ladies’ Aid of the Barkley Church Ihet at the John Maxwell home last Wednesday afternoon. A large crowd was present and were well entertained. The ladies laid plans whereby a market will be held in Rensselaer the third Saturday of each month. Warner Cros. Hardware Co. have given front space in their store in which to hold these markets. There is strong feeling in the Barkley community that the present church i building is inadequate and this is | one means of raising funds to make a better plant. I The Pleasant Grove school closed last Friday. The children air indoor picnic as a closing celebration. Mrs. Earl Barkley has been on the sick list for the, past week. Ganville Moody, who was seriously hurt last week in being thrown from a horse, is able to be about again. _ Mrs. Herbert Eib and her father, Mr. Hansen, are tending to things at the Van Norman place while he is in the hospital. ' The latest reports are that Van will have to give up the farm and this is regretted by his neighbors. We hate to loose him from the community. On acount of the heavy rain storm there were no services at the Barkley church last Sunday. We hope for better weather next Sunday. Sunday school at ten o’clock. The preaching services will be held in the evening at 7:45. Epworth League at 7:00 o’clock. Mr. Jesse Eldredge, who has had a very serious time with the mumps is improving slowly.
