FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.

EAST WALKER. E. Stimps< n of Stoutsburg, visited A. L. Bouk awhile last. Sunday. Chas, and Wm. Hefferlin of Rensselaer, visited relatives here last Sunday. W. O. Linton, the tile ditcher, departed for his home in Newton county Thursday. Len Eldred, who has been working for his brother Oscar, returned to his home, sick. Art Flemning has moved to DeMotte. We are sorry he has gone, he would have voted the democrat ticket. Mrs. J. G. Dodd joins her husband in Illinois this week. He is captain of a dredge boat, at a good salary. The convention at Dew Drop had a very large attendance. A good program was well rendered and therefore might be termed a complete success. Robert Dumond and son Albert, of Brook, visited relatives here the first of the week. He was negotiating for the rental of a farm near Rensselaer. Lewis Zick was home last Sunday looking and feeling much better. Although still under the doctors care, he will work while there another month. Thos. Callaghan has made arrangements to remain in our township on the same place another year. He is a worthy citizen and we are glad to have him stay. Our new minister for Dew Drop comes with a high recommend and from reports of his sermon Sunday he is worthy of a good attendance. Come, everybody, and hear him. Wm. Stalbaum has contracted to work a year for Wm. Hershman. Elmer Mathias, whose place he takes, will return to his home in Pulaski Co. Stay, Elmer, and vote for Zick. By an error of the type setter we were made to say last week, that Messrs. Burger and Satnn had sold their cattle at the fancy price of 53.00 per hundred, whereas it should have been $3.90 straight.
