<1 Reports from Coroner Wright’s little son at the Presbyterian \ Hospital in Chicago received Monday evening, were very encouraging, and the full recovery of thef little fellow is now thought to be assured. Marlatt is now driving a brand-new red automobile, having brought it to town yesterday morning for the first time. It is a runabout, made by the Ford people, and is said to have cost |750. It is a mighty nice looking machine. Medaryville Advertiser: A stalwart ten pound boy has taken up his quarters with Mr. and Mrs. John Manning in Gillam township since early Saturday morning of last week. Mother and babe are doing well, and John—he’s setting up the cigars. Charles Robinson, who is farming near Battle Ground, sent up a sample of wheat he raised this year, and he said that this sample was not selected. That is certainly an indication of a large yield of excellent quality of grain. The sample was sent to W. B. Powers of this city.

W. A. Gridley and wife and Mrs. Wm. Esson of Brook came over in Mr. Gridley’s new auto Saturday to do some shopping, returning to Brook in the evening. He drives a fine covered Maxwell auto, one of the smoothest running machines we have seen. It costs $1,450 equipped with top. glass-screen, lamps, etc. B. F. Ferguson, who has been suffering for the past ten days from what was first thought to have been a slight sunstroke, although he has been about a part of the time, was reported not so well yesterday and it is now thought that the stroke was paralysis instead of from being overheat. It seems to affect his right side. Rev. Bartley, president of the Indiana Conference of the M. P. church, will preach here Saturday evening, July 4, at the M. P. church. Rev. Bartley will occupy the pulpit at Rose Bud Sunday morning and at Mt. Hope Sunday night. Rev. Bundy will preach here Sunday night, it being his last appointment here for the conference year. It is pretty generally conceded that the oats crop in this section of the country is going to be rather light. The wet weather drowned them out in patches and then come the dry, hot weather and baked the ground. The quality will no doubt be much better than last year and the yield will also be a little better. But last year was the poorest oats y,?ar we almost ever had.

Arthur W. McAully of Chi-, cago Heights, and Miss Fern Alter were unitea in marriage Sunday at 4 p. m., at tt* home of the bride's parents, Mr. ariu Mrs. John E. Alter of Union tp., Rev. G. H.

Stembel was down Wheatfield Monday to see his doctor. He is taking treatment of Dr. Loy. George recently cut out tobacco chewing, of which he has been a confirmed consumer for many years, and says he will not again take tt up. While he is not the old 225-pounder we used to know, yet he is looking better than he did a year or so ago and we hope he will regain his former health and vigor. While taking Harvey Davisson and family of Union tp., down to Attica Sunday morning where the former is taking treatment at. the mineral springs near Attica, the Rensselaer Garage’s new Buick auto broke its drive chain in running over a rock in the road near Fowler and the party was delayed until they could telephone back and have the chain from the Hollingsworth auto brought to them, when they went on. The delay was about 114 to 2 hours.

<Aal Peters’ son shot a large eagle Sunday that measured six from tip to tip of wings. It way a black eagle, a species which is common in this country, but its half-brother, the bald eagle, is rarely found here, although at one time very common. The bird shot Sunday was trying to get some young ducks that were swimming in the ditch at a little’distance from Mr. Peters’ residence. He brought the bird to town Monday morning and will have it mounted.
