PHEASANT RIDGE.

George Ketcham is blasting rocks and stumps, this week. Roy, Willie and Mrs. Lowman visited at Mr. Potts' Monday. Wm. Kenton drove through our neighborhood, Wednesday. Mae Lowman and Pearl Potts called on Mable and Tura Besse Sunday afternoon. James P. Overon, after a few davs visit with relatives at Chicago Heights, Freeport and Woosing, HI., has returned, bringing with him his son Randle, who is very sick at this writing. Everett Potts and Guy Besse were rambling over P. R.’s public roads, Sunday, trying to drive a balky horse. The animal only kicked the slats off the cart and missed Guy’s brains a few inches and chased the boys into the wire fence. Marjon Gwin, who went to join the naw last November, is now on the gunboat Hartford, and probably on a voyage to Europe. His first assignment was on the Lancaster, upon which he made a voyage to South America and hark. He appears to like sailormg and to be making good progress.
