Re-election of officers took place Jan. 1. —Mr. Perry Brown and family of Good land are visiting his father-in-law, Mr. Marion Denniston. —Miss Minnie Smith is at home to spend a few days. Mr. Elsie Grow found it out about the first one of the young men. —There will be preaching services at this school next Sunday morning. All cordially invited to attend. Rev. J. T. Sawyer will preach. —Monday there was a big dinner given at the home of Mr. J. A. Hixson, it being his 68 birthday. A pleasant time reported. We wish him many more birthdays. —lt is reported that Martin White is sick, and takes a walk now and then out to Mrs. Middlecamp’s for his health. Since Anna is at home we hope he will soon recover. —Miss Flora Smith and Miss Ethel Pogue took their departure last Tuesday morning for Des Plaines. Mr. Hitchcock, who has been visiting Miss Smith, accompanied them to Chicago. Miss Flora will be missed in the young people’s society. —Mr. Otto Kennedy on last Thursday evening, while going from the house to the barn, fell over one trussel and striking his face on the other trussel, cut his lower lip. Dr. James of this place was summoned quickly and one stitch was taken in Otto’s lip. —Mrs. Wm. Hanley is over at DeMotte taking care of “her daughter Ella and Miss Sallie Denniston is doing Mrs. Hanley’s work. We thought it strange that Wilbur Sailor was so anxious for his mail every day, but the problem has been solved since Miss Sallie is there at Mr. Hanley’s.
