Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 April 1901 — EAST MILROY. [ARTICLE]

EAST MILROY.

Charles Beaver is now erecting a new barn. Carsy McDonald has not been well since Easter Sunday. Dr. Elmer Johnson took the Western excursion for a pleasure trip. We understand that Bill Parr is giving Mat Yeager’s house a new coat of paint. Mrs. Jacob Johns, who fell and hurt her arm last winter, is now inrorovinn a little. 8 Our oats don’t seem to want to peep through the ground for fear of Old Jack Frost. There will be services at the Banner schoolhouse next Sunday, conducted by Rev. Losh. A new girl arrived last Sunday morning at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Blakemore. Carry Huston, our tp. assessor, seems to be flying around over the country as fleet as a deer. Haven’t seen John Scott, the new married man, this spring; suppose he is off on a wedding tonr. Prank Sommers is the proud possessor of a new buggy. We gladly salute the girl who gets the first ride. Dennis Casto and wife of near Pleasant Grove, were visiting the former's uncle, William Casto, of western Milroy. We haven’t heard one part of the news for a long while. I guess John Southard has gone to Canada. But don't be backward when asked where you get your news; just spit it out and say in the Jasper County Democrat, the only paper worth mentioning.
