JASPER COUNTY GLEANINGS.

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.

NORTH BARKLEY. John Schwind returned from his visit to Lafayette Saturday. Harry Gifford and wife did shopping in Rensselaer Saturday. Earl Newland has returned from his visit to Ohio. He reports a good time. The shooting match at Comer given by Callahan and Newland was a success. Wesley 'Burris of Lewiston, was in Kankakee a couple of days last week on business. George Berdy of Blue Island, 111., was visiting friends at and near Comer Saturday and Sunday, The box supper at Canada school Saturday night was well attended, receipts $25.70. Miss Oka Rife received the prize as being the most popular young lady, and Barney Newland received a pair of woeden shoes for having the largest feet. Mrs. Lewis, wife of Frank Lewis, general superintendent of the C. & W. V., railroad, died at her home Tuesday morning, Jan. 1, and was taken to Herscher, 111., for burial Thursday. This will be 3 very sad blow to Mr. Lewis, as her death was wholly unexpected. They were married just about one year. We, in behalf of The Democrat readers, extend our sincere sympathy.
