Dr. J. B. Herrick of Rush Medical college was down from Chicago Wednesday to see Uncle Ralph Fendig. who has been sick for a long time. He did not hold out much encouragement to the friends of the sick man. 1 Rev. Kindig was up at Roselawn Monday night to speak for the anti-saloon forces there.

S/The cold weather of the past two weeks reached a climax Tuesday night, when the mercury dropped several degrees below the freezing point, and some scattering flakes of snow fell during the day and that folio wing, -pit is generally believed* that the buds of peaches, plums, pears, cherries, etc., are frozen beyond possible redemption, and it is likely apples have shared thesame fate.
