DUNNVILLE.

Wanted, a few drops of dampness. Mrs. Fitzgerald has purchased a new organ. Miss Leona Finn visited at San Pierre the first of the week. Misses Annie and Sena Jasperson went to San Pierre the first of the week. Trustee Maloney and Hon. John Finn did business at Jerusalem last Monday. Messrs. William and Buck DeArmond, took a flying trip to Wilders last Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Gerber of Medarvville, visited at Mr. and Mrs. Newman White’s last Sunday. Milton Jones is busy painting now. He is going io paint an elevator at Toto, in the near future. Miss Lulu Hilliard, who ran into a fence and hurt herself quite seriously, is better at this writing. August Klanska and Homer Fisher celebrated their joint birthdays at Frank Fisher's last Sunday. Old man D. V. was the guest of Mr. Fisher and family last Wednesday. As usual we ate a plenty. Messrs. William and Mat Behles, who are working in Pennsylvania, visited at this place Saturday and Sunday. Annie Behles is doing dressmaking for i Mrs. Dr. Solt. Annie still says that Dunville is the only place in the world. Miss Ivy DeArmond is working for Mrs. Jack Schrieber, and Miss Cora Wheeler is working for Mrs. Ackerman. McGuire & Cullen, our home talent drillers, are introducing light to .the interior of the earth, on Henry Tubb’s farm. Again we have been maliciously robbed of another original D. V., girl, by the demon of matrimony. A crusade against the monster would be a Christian act. Mr. Allen is going to raise thirty acres of beets. With tears in his eyes, he told his last year's experience with beets, but he has faith that he will do better this year. Rachel Ferrel was born March 19, 1900. died April 26, 1901, aged 1 year and 7 days. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J. Vandercarr. Interment was in the Gardner cemetery. Prof. Edward T. Allen has moved his oil drill or telephone pole puncher, to the uttermost part of the earth. We hope that success, corn bread and plenty of money will be his 1 >t, Otto Schrader has put away his mourner's garb and reinstated himself in the suit of jubilee. Is it possible that a change in climate has affected his moral <>r sociable skies? Charity, saith the I bible, coverth a multitude of sins. We understand that Dr. Solt was pre- . sentvd with a silver trimmed pipe, the other day. All the doctor has to do, is to till it up, open the throttle, and it begins to puff without human aid This is what we call a labor saving machine. Messrs. Lee Fisher and Aaron Timmons were the guests of your cor. last I Sunday. After dinner, we went to the river and took a fine boat ride. It makes our blood freeze when we think how near it came in ending in a goose-killing time. Howard Hofacher of Chicago, was in our midst last Friday and Saturday. He Is trying to invent a rod to prevent the people from getting struck with matrimonial lightning. If he succeeds, and of course he will, he will at once become a benefactor of the human race. George Ketchmark is getting to be an expert bike rider. At first he made many crooked paths, but time and patience has placed him in the rank of professionals. He is going to compete for the championship of America, next year. As a trick rider, he has no peers in the county. The Misses Annie Sellars and Annie Jasperson were at Wheatfield, purchasing hats the other day. It took them about three hours to pick out their crowns and establish the same on their beads. The way they talked and de-

bated while buying, reminded me of a populist convention. Rev. A, W. Smith and Emma F. Henry were united in marriage at Winamac on Wednesday of last week, by Dr. Beck. The groom was once the M. E. pastor here, while the blushing bride was once an original D. V. girl. We wish them a long aud happy life and may their sea of matrimony be free from storms. — Last Sunday morning as the morning zephyrs were shaking the slender twigs of the apple trees, Mr. James Newhouse with his hair extravagantly combed, buggied himself to Mr. and Mrs. White’s to enjoy the bounteous repast prepared for them, and not for them only, but tor all that had their names in the pie-pan. After a few hours of sociable chat, dinner was announced and James, with his head np like a thunder-pumper, quickly repaired to the dining-room and at once began the contest. Bread, as usual, was the first course served but Jim and Gladys said; We don’t wish bread, please pass the cake." Cake vanished like a shadow aud pie quickly followed suit, and in a few minutes the desert was all bushed into eternity. James and Gladys declared that they had a fine time.
