INDEPENDENCE.

Lester Schrioer is on the sick list. Sleighs and sleds are still all the go. Grant Renicker's little girl is still improving. Henrv Hayes and family called on Frank Hayes last Sunday. Mr. Gassy has moved into the house lately vacated by Mr. Wolf. Chris Morgenegg hauled a load of wood to Rensselaer Tuesday. Wm. Cooper has moved into the house lately vacated by D. Nichols. Frank Peters of Wbeatfieid, is visiting with Chesley Wray's this week. Ellis Jones of Remington, was a business caller here one day last week. Fred Renicker of Carroll Co., was a business caller here first of the week. Grant Renicker has sold his team of mules to a man from Wolcott for S2OO. Charley Hopkins and wife drove over to Wheatfield Wednesday, returning Sunday. Will Wray, Frank Peters and John Hopkins cut wood for George Ott first of the week. Wm. Daniels drove over to the hub Tuesday. He will move to Rensselaer about the first of the month. John Hopkins, Will, Cora and Irena Wray and Bertha Hopkins called on Mr. Brubaker and family at Parr, last Sunday. Lincoln Jenkins, of the province of Parr, was in these parts Sunday with a new driving horse. Just ask Miss Henry or Miss Potts about nis new buggy. Quite a number of young folks from these parts piled into a bob-sled last Friday night and drove t.i Union schoolhouse to the box social, but lo! they all came home hungry. Everybody should look out for a chicken medicine peddler in the country selling lime dust in packages. He will sell the same size package from one dollar down to 10 cents —whatever he can get.
