McCOYSBURG.

School was out Friday. Clyde Randle is on the sick list. Lulu Rishling spent Sunday at Mr. Foster’s. L. W. Goodyear went to Rensselaer last ‘Wednesday. Our old neighbor John Ward, was here one day last week. Miss Mabel Huston went to Rensselaer the first of the week. Goodyear, Randle & Willits Co. have purchased another 1800 lb. buggy horse. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Foster received an organ from Urbana, 111., the latter part or this week. The first time for a number of years all the houses of this place are being occupied by tenants. See! we are growing. Teachers’ institute was held here Saturday and was attended by ten teachers and two trustees, representing Hanging Crove and Milroy townships. Oliver Stewart came home from Valparaiso a few days ago sick with rheumatism. He is now entirely helpless, and has to be lifted about He was attending school at Valpo. If anybody goes to town during this week or next, we would like to send for SI,OOO worth of mud to sprinkle aiound on the places that need it worst. It a place can be found that isn’t well supplied. Duck season is here once more and Bill Eldridge it lost somewhere out in Gilmore’s marsh, but we expect him to find his way out as soon as the ducks drink all the water from around him. One of our smooth neighbors js said to have sojd all of his Corn and was not satisfied yet, so he sold his landlord's share and got away with the money. But we think he will make things right yet, bye and bye. Some of our good neighbors believe in being charitable. They aim to give half or all thay have if possible. We have just lately learned that it is the fad for school teachers to distribnte cats, and the half has not yet been told. “When the grip left me my nerves and heart were badly affected; bat -I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Heart Cure and was soon all right.”—-Wm.
