DUNNVILLE.

Yes, we live In a land of great possibilities. Ojl wells here and there, and mineral wells between. The former Kankakee swamps will be the Klondike of wealth of the county. The Dunnville M. E. Sunday school was reorganized last Saturday p. m., with the following officers: Mrs. Sands, Supt.; James Newhome, Asst. Supt. Sunday school work is a noble work. Come, every one. Know thyself, is the underlying principle of fortune tellers. Mr. Arthur White being desirous of knowing his relation to coming events, traded a shock of A No. 4, wild hay, to a sooth-saver, for a bulletin of approaching events that will modify his personal existence. She told him that he would not be killed by a volcano or swallowed by a whale. Great are the soothsayers, says I. Last Friday evening a camp of Modern Woodmen was organized at Dunnville by a Mr. Comer of 111., assisted by theMmtiation team of the Wheatfield lodge. Eleven candidates were sent, without mercy, through an invented ordeal of terrors, into the Canaan of'the Woodmen fellowship. Trustee Maloney wis elected, presiding officer. After the election and initiation came the supper, at which all distinguished themselves, especially the dear souls that came in contact with the butting goat. As Warren White was returning to h[s home last Tuesday evening, he was accosted by a burglarizing personage, south ami west of D. V., in language whose import could not be misinterpreted. Warren, being a believer in personal liberty and an apostle of human rights, decided to keep his valuables or demonstrate to his nocturnal visitor his plan of warfare. As the personage decided to loot his pockets Warren thought he would try to run.away from his unwelcome caller, so he gave his horse the whip and immedi.itely he was out of danger. Warren advises every benighted traveler to carry a tomahawk and a Mauser rifle. Not getting the particulars in time for the last week’s issue, I send the report of ! the following wedding for this issue: ' Married, at the residence of the bride’s parents, Jan. 2, Mr. Charles Ross of Momence, 111, and Miss Netta B. Collins The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. M. Smith of Mt. Ayr, in the presence oi the near relatives and the elite of the country. To all the interrogations of the preacher the contracting parties responded with an unpolished and a very emphatic, “yes.” The bride is one of our popular young ladies, having taught sehcxil in the township. At all the social gatherings, she was a leader. Her bridal costume was the crowning work of the dressmaker’s art. The groom is one of Illinois’ favored sons,' respected by all who know him. He was dressed according to the dictates of fashion. His coat was of the claw-hammer tail, variety. Throughout the sterotyped ceremony, they maintained an unusual degree of petrified indifference regardless of the climax of consequenc-s. They will be “at home” to their friends at Momence. In behalf of The Jasper County Democrat and the people of Dunnville and vicinity, I wish them a long and happy life, and man cucumber pickles, fried rabbits and Angel cake be their food forever.

WHEATFIEID.

Philip Blue of Rensselaer, was on our streets Wednesday. The man who raises poultry is not the only man who has it to sell. A. C. Beaman, principal of schools at this place, is on the sick list this week. The I. O. O. F., and Daughters of Rebekah held a public installation Tuesday evening. Jim Hazelett, who has been working in South Dakota, is spending a few days here at present. George Hoehn of Kankakee, was looking after his interests at this place the first of the week. It is easy enough for any one to sing, “There is Only One Girl,’ but it is hard for some fellows to determine which one that is. Ed Erwin, who has been on the sick list for a long time, is going to get well under the skillful treatment of Dr. Berkley of Rensselaer. We suppose a few of those rotten plank in the republican platform are being repaired, at least George Sttmble missed a few from the lumber yard lately. This seems to be 3 time of year when a good many have to cough up even to the most successful rent-beaters along with some few children who have the whooping cough. Mr. D. V., attended church here last Sunday evening and what everinduced him to stroll so far away from home is more than we can tell, unless it was beThg accompanied by the young lady who seemed to be absorbing as much of the falling weather as himself.

INDEPENDENCE.

Rainy weather and muddy roads. Grant Hill went to Wheatfield Monday. Grant Renicker and wife are on the sick list. , John Hopkins drove over to the hub Thursday. Miss Allie Snow is working at Gr int Renicker’s this week. Emmet Pullins bought a cow of G. Renicker Wednesday. Jess Garriott has purchased a fim gun. Now the game will suffer. Wm. Goff of Knimau, visited in these parts the first of the week. George Snow of Rosebud, has moved out in the Gifford country. Will Wray and Miss drove over to Wheatfield last Saturday. Bert Jenkins called at Grant Reni Iter's Tuesday, but not to see the sick.
