Otto Schrader and Miss Ivy DeArmoud.were the guests of Miss Eliza Craig iu Porter county, last Sunday. They report that they had a pig-kililng time. Earl Wilmington was the guest of Miss Alice Marshall last Monday. Earl is a talker, a walker and a stayer, and the next day a sleeper of the snoring tribe. Say, we suppose you all know that boy. Joe Fensil. He ha* extracted hi* once booming moustache and ha* ordered a red, white and blue pair, to wear on the fourth of July.

The San Pierre correspondent seems to think that Mr. D. V. either has an alligator appetite or the capacity of a molasses barrel. We have shed quarts of tears over the accusation. (Sobs.) One of Jerome Nelson’s little children had the misfortune of getting one of its feet mashed quite severely, In the cog wheels of a cane mill, which was being turned by the other children. Two toes had to be amputated. A TKBMIBLX PBBTBUCTIOM. Pleasure is the life of living. It Is the power that places the rose-tint upon the cheek and the smiles upon the fuce. Last Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Wilmington invited in a number of young people, for dinner, In honor of their sou, Karl, who was coming home from Dwight, 111., for a couple of days visit.

Schrader Anna Jasperson Louie Zick NettaGulbransen W Jasperson Clara Nelson Kd Schrader Carrie Jasperson Chas. Nelson Mrs. Meiser 0. Wilmington E. Wilmington M. Miser Mr. D. V. Immediately after the guests had arrived dinner was announced and a more noble and hungier net never graced a festal board anywhere. Mr. Miser, mayor, of Duunville, was the master of ceremonies; he executed the dictates of formality like Dr. Depew. He arose, clothed in the proper regalia, with a s|>oon in his vest pocket and a potato masher, which he used as a gavel in his right hand. He said, in part: "We have come here to-day for the purpose of eating In. Now If any of you can't do jusie occasion, fill your pockets.*' ntna Burger captured Fort Pie and •ly demolished It, while the rest of tears In our eyes, eat speechless >a Jasperson attacked the Cake Reid reduced it to serfdom. The rest utral. expected a liberal share in the division but Queen Anna wasn't in a giving mood. Miss Nett a Gulbrausen absorbed the Pickle Realm while the rest of us sat clothed in wonder and amassment. Mrs. Meiser. after eating five dishes of Ice-cream, declared that she never did like ice-cream. After dlu-

nerMrs. Meiser and Miks Burger played a few instrumental pieces after which we closed the day's enjoyment by singing, “God be with us till we meet again.” Mr. D. V., in behalf of the guests, wishes to thank our host and hostess for their liberality iu furnishing the eatables and for the kindness that they manifested while Mr. D, V., was attacking the preacher's dish.
