DUNNVILLE

King Frost will soon rule with a cold hand. Warren White was a Wheatfield visitor last Monday. Hon. Frank Fisher and sons spent a few days in Chicago, the first of the yreek. Ferrel White and Miss Clara Hoehn attended church at Wheatfield Sunday evening. Marion Sands, who was quite seriously hurt in a bay press last week, is better by this writing. Aaron Timmons took a flying trip to San Pierre last Saturday on his fire and lightning steed. J. L. Newhouse was at Kersey between trains last Monday. Jim is a bustler, a first class grain buyer. Mr. and Mrs. George Belcher of South Bend, spent last Saturday with their chiL dren, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Davis. Will Shirer is being tempted with a good-sized crop of boils. Like Job, he is manifesting a good deal of patience. So far, the teachers of this township have given satisfaction. Kankakee has always been blest with good teachers. Miss Hulda Will, who has been working in South Bend for the past few months, is home for a few days recreation. Again, Clyde Herath was the welcome guest of a Wheatfield lady last Sunday evening. We know who she is, but we won't tell. Our County Supt. has entered the literary field, we understand. We hope that success will crown his eflorts. Jasper county surely needs a Horace Greely. Miss Mary Nelson boarded the east bound train at D. V. last Monday. She kept her destination a secret. We are blessed, however, with a good imagination. Joseph Hilliard departed for Kersey last Sunday, where he will lead the little ones into the mysteries of life. We commend him to the keeping of the fair maidens of that place. Frank Fenzil, who spent a week with his family in Walker tp., departed for Chicago Saturday. For a number of years Mr. Fenzil ha» been employed in a wagon shop in that place. M. D, Cooper returned from his Southern prospective tour last Wednesday. He was delighted with the country in the Indian Territory. Towns are springing up as if by magic and in fact the entire Southwest is in the midst of a boom. The Dunnville Sunday School reorganized last Sunday by electing the following officers: Supt., Lee Fisher; Asst. Supt., J. L. Newhouse; Sec , Mary DeArmond; Treasurer, Lizzie Herath; Organist, Lydia. Sands; Librarian, Grace Hillard. Let all come out and help by their presence to make it a success. The D. V. choir intend to have special songs at each service. Sunday School will begin promptly at half past nine o'clock.

Quite a few of the young folks of Wheatfield and DunnviJle called on Mr. and Mrs. Morris McCullough last Thursday evening and gave the former a gentle hint that he was a year older. The invasion was a surprise to him. The invaders were armed with various eatables. The table, after holding such lovely weight of thegcod things cf life, will go down to Us grave a cripple. Various games were played until the clarion voice of one, by the clock, sounded the retreat. Mr. McCullough is 35 years old. yet he is as merry as the happiest. In behalf of those present we wish Mr. and Mrs. McCullough a happy journey through the remainder of life. Lord DeArmond and Grand Duke Davis presided over the launching of the famous Eli bay press last Friday. Lord DeArmond called the meeting to order and introduced the Duke who sang a very touching solo entitled, “Never try to press hay, when it rains." After the solo, the Lord made a few remarks about the origin of the hay press. He claimed that King David was the first man to use a hay press. As the press slowly glided down into the ocean of activity, Lord DeArmond threw a handful of wild hay on her and then exclaimed: “In the name of Jupiter and King David I christen thee *£ii.’ Now get there Eli,”
