The four Gillam teachers from Rensselaer spent last Saturday and Sunday at home. Mrs. Linda Long went to Valparaiso last week to attend the funeral of her aunt, Mrs. Olive Frederick Danger. Miss Pearl Smith is another victim of the changeable weather, and has been suffering from neuralgia of the heart this week. Preaching services were held at Independence last Sunday.
