—Min Sene Nelson has gone to Chicago to work. —Two mild adjectives would describe our roads, now.

—Miss Jessie White is expecting a visitor in the near future. —George Ketchmark and Mr. Trickle have begun plowing for oats. —Hon. I. D. Dunn, our representative citizen, is enjoying good health. —Samuel Lily, Sr., of San Pierre, was preambulating our streets last Tuesday. —Who did Earl Wilmington go home with, last Sunday evening? I won’t tell, ask him. —To all the readers of The Democrat, I say, “April Fool.” Now will you be good. —Miss Amanda Knapp, who has been attending school at Valparaiso, returned last week. —Elder Tharp of North Judson, preached two very able sermons last Sunday and Sunday evening.

—Miss Rilla Williams of San Pierre, was visiting her Dunnville friends, last Monday and Tuesday. —Cold as it is, at this writing, all the voices of nature seems to unite in the one grand strain of “there’ll be a hot time.” —John McGuire, who has been in New York city for the past year and a half, returned to his home, a few days ago. —Ducks are visiting our ponds and marshes by the thousands. Duck hunters are after them, but they shoot the ponds. —Messrs. Arthur White, Lambert Collins and Miss Netta Collins were the guests of Miss May Kellerman last Sunday. —Mr. Willie Muchler was the only one among those that took the examination at D. V. for graduates, that passed. Billy, you have a right to step high. —Hon. I. D. Dunn is putting an addition on to the building which is to be used as the home of the postoffice department. Laun Hilliard is doing the carpenter work. —Mrs. Birdie Miser, Misses Emma Henry, Netta Collins and Jessie White and Mr. Charlie Sands were at Rensselaer last Saturday taking the teachers’ examination. —Milton Jones, our ex-sailor boy, is putting shelves in his D. V. house. He intends to start up a store. Jones says he would rather run a store than climb a 60 foot mast. —The Republican’s Dunnville correspondent in her last week’s grist said: “Listen for the wedding bells.” Now I didn’t think, that she would get married before next fall. Isn’t human nature deceiving? —Robt. Mannan, who is attending the State Normal School, visited his parents the first of the week. The time will soon come when Robert will be a full-fledged Prof. Thus he will be Prof. R. A. Mannan.
