Miss Eva Griggs of Chicago, is visiting Mrs. Chess Caster this week. Miss Day Jordan went to Gibson City, 111., Wednesday to visit her grandmother. Thurman Smith, who has been threshing at Winamac, returned home Monday. . Miss Arietta Stevens of Kankakee, 111., is visiting hei sister, Mrs. H. E. Gifford, this week. Be careful the next time you kiss your girl good-bye, Art, and be sure the old man isn’t watching you. Master 0. M. Callahan, who has been visiting his sister at Chicago for the past week, returned home Sunday. Miss Netta Jordan has gone to the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, where she expects to stay about a month. Saturday afternoon some one brought some eggs to T. M. Callahan's grocery at Newland. Shortly after they left and all was still, “peep! peep!" was heard to issue from the egg case, and upon examination it was found that the eggs were not as fresh as represented, so they were transfered to a hen and Sunday morning there was a nice fluffy chicken under the hen instead of a fresh egg. The chicken is still alive and doing well. Tom says he will examine them more carefully the next time “fresh” eggs are brought in.
