He intends to work on a canal. —Postmaster Adkins has moved into one of Mr. Dunn’s houses, in the east part of our village. —The Dunnville people are attending the Buck Stanley temperance lectures at San Pierre.

—Our marshes are being visited by hunters from Momence. Everywhere the geeses quack, the hunters are sure to go. —Lambert Collins’ favorite song is, “Beyond the Kankakee river, where I love to roam.” He gives it the expression, too. —The dance at Peter Rich’s was well attended by young folks but 10, the fiddler didn’t come. They whistled and danced. —Miss Lydia Sands, who has been visiting her sister at Lima, Ohio, for the past three months, returned last Saturday. —Editor Robertson of the Wheatfield Telephone, was in our burg last Monday.

They expect to make Chicago their future home. —C. A Armstrong of Michigan City, was the guest of Miss Lily Peregrine last Saturday and Sunday. He came via San Pierre. Instead of waiting for the west bound 111 local he rolled up his pantaloons and down the track he went, sweetly singing, “She’s the Lily of the Valley.”
