Mr. and Mrs. Thus* Thornton have gone to .Messick, Mich., where the latter will reside, her husband expecting to enter the soldiers' home at Grand Rapids. The funeral of the 10-months-old babe of Mr. and Mrs. James Longstreth of Parr was held Thursday afternoon from St. Augustine’s Catholic church and interment made in Mt. Calvary cemetery south of town. It had been sick about a week with pneumonia. And now T. M. Callahan, the lord mayor of Newland, has bought an automobile and will soon be ohoo-chooing about looking after his branch stores and other business at Kersey and Pleasant Grove. Tom must come down and join our automobilo parade the 4th, if he gets his “critter” under good control by that time. Mr. Harry J. Murray, son of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Murray of Rensselaer, and Miss Elva K. Fisher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, James Fisher of this city were united in marriage at 8:30 p. m., Wednesday at the home of the officiating clergyman, Rev. H. L. Kindig. They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Wood, Jr., the latter being a sister of the groom.

Winamac Journal: Mr. John Ferguson of Logansport, who is buying farms in the vicinity of Thornhope, was in town last Tuesday. In reply to the query of a Democrat-Journal reporter as to the purpose of bis extensive land purchases, he merely said, “I am buying the land in my own name.” He added that he had already secured deeds for 320 acres, with options on adjacent tracts. Whether the big sand farms are to be converted into winter quarters for the Wallace show, or on which will be located a brick factory, or turned over to the Pennsylvania company for the sand, still remains a mystery to the general public.
