Freelove of Goodland is visiting her daughter, Mrs. F. E. Babcock. Miss Louise Hartman of Remington' was the guest of Mrs. J. D. Allman a few days this week. John and Cecelia Nagle of Plymouth, were here to attend the funeral of Joe Miller Thursday. Mrs. Levi Renicker and her mother left Tuesday for a visit with relatives in Pratt, Kan. They were accompanied as far as Chicago by Mr. Renicker. J. F. Hardman was called to Warsaw Monday by the sickness of his father, who had suffered a paralytic stroke. The old gentleman is 82 years of age. The subject of the morning sermon at the Cbristain church is “God’s Stewards;” in the evening, "The Religion for Men.” A special invitation to men. A. J. Harmon returned last Friday night from a ten days stay in South Dakota, near Mitchell. At the time he left there Fritz Zard had not fully decided on any farm, that is, had not closed the deal for one. Ross Hawkins came over from Logansport the first of the week and accompanied home his wife and children who had been visiting here for a short time. He is a conductor on an electric line running out of Logansport. A. F. Long is now moved into bis handsome new residence on River street. W. J. Wright has moved into Mr. Long’s old residence and Mt. Hill of Jordan tp., has moved into the Henry Hildebrand property, vacated by Mr. Wright. Mrs. Andrus, who has been critically sick at her home in Kniman for several weeks, was brought here Wednesday in an automobile and is now at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John O’Connor. She is improving right along and will soon be able to get out once more. Francesville Tribune: Dr. J. A. Tillet of White Fish, Mont., arrived here Saturday after an absence of three years, and for a short time will be the guest of relatives here and at Peru. . . . Mrs. W. H. Rusk of Windor, Mo„ arrived here one day last week and has since been visiting Mr. and Mrs, A. A. Rusk north of town, and Mr. Rusk’s mother at Rensselaer.

Rev. 0. W. Postill of Fowler was here this week looking after his farm near Surrey. He was considerably interested in the reports from Fontanet, Ind., where 1,000.000 pounds of powder in the Dupont powder factory and warehouse blew up Tuesday morning, killing 35 or 40 people outright, and practically wiping the entire town of 1,000 people off the map. He was formerly located at Fontanet as pastor of the M. E. church there. Someone evidently was short of teaspoons, as a half-dozen silver spoons that were among the presents received by Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Laßue at their silver wedding last Friday and were on exhibition with the other presents, were taken some time during the afternoon. As the guestß were among the best people in town it is hard to think that ahy of thorn could have taken them. But gone they are and no trace of them has been found at this writing. fcritz Zard returned Wednesday evening from his land prospecting trip to South Dakota. He purchased a finely improved half section five miles of Mitchell and 2| miles of Etham, paying therefor $57.50 per acre, Those from here who have seen this farm say it is a fine one, and one of the best improved in that section of the state, the improvements alone probably having cost $5,000 or $6,000. Mr. Zard will move upon the farm the coming spring. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Duvall of Allentown, 111., were here a few days the first of the week looking after business matters and visiting friends. Frank has sold his half interest in the half section of land near Sharon owned jointly by him and his brother Albert Duvall, to Matt Nisius for $37 per acre. Matt will build a new house on the place next season and otherwise improve it. Frank tells us that his father-indaw, John C. Ohiloote, is still living with him and enjoys good health. John still tips the scales at about 250 pounds.
