They are a part of the colony who moved from Newton county, near Mt. Ayr, about two years ago. Among them being Chupps and Millers, who ate visiting with Eli Stutzman and Simon Chupp. The long illness of Jno. Youngless, which has been reported several times, leaves him in a very bad condition and at present is not expected to live very long. Mr. Youngless is about 70 years of age, a native of Germany, having moved to Jay county about 1884. He la a good, hard working citizen and his death would be regretted very much bv all. A pocket book lost by G. M. Wilcox in November, 1898, was found bv J. Kaufman, a workman on the Paxton farm, last week. This book contained $33 in cash, $188.78 in checks and numerous valuable papers, it being lost while Mr. Wilcox was hunting. It was a lucky find. Of course everybody knows Wilcox bays his game when he hunts, but never thought he paid quite so dearly for it.
