Mrs. Graham, a sister of Mrs. W. F. Powers of this city, is very sick at Wolcott. Ezra Wolf of Barkley tp., has] been confined to the house with malarial fever, but was reported better yesterday. NLA. Beasly, Postmaster Peck, Sam Bowman, John Clarke, B. E. and G. E. Stiller and Attorney Jasper Guy of Remington were in town Tuesday on court business. Mrs. Joseph Adams of south of town, who was scalded recently by falling with a kettle of boiling water, is now reported to be getting along nicely. She was burned more severely than first thought and has been having quite a serious time. Cliff Beaver went to Yeoman, a small station east of Delphi, Saturday to see an uncle, but owing to a misunderstanding as to the time he was to get back he came Monday instead of Wednesday, as he had planned. He had a fine time farming while gone. T. A. Crockett brought in a sample of the yellow corn he is growign on his farm southeast of town, this season, and it does not look like there was not going to be.any corn £his year. This sample is good and sound, and Mr. Crockett says he has 30 acres as good. a number of our citizens are planning to go over to Brook today to see Taft. They can take the milk train to Fair Oaks and go from there by regular train to Foresman, from which point they will be hauled to Ade’s farm, returning home the same way in the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Powers will entertain the survivors of the 15th Ind. Inst., at their home on - River street today. Mr. Powers was 4 member of that regiment during the civil war. The occasion will be made as pleasant as possible, and in addition to the hosts there will be present a number of the old veterans of this city and vicinity. There are 175 on the association rolls, land they are scattered all over the United States. Not more than ten or twelve are expected to attend on this occasion. W. E. Timmons of Elk Falls, Kan., and brother E. M. Timmons, of Plymouth, visited relatives in Jordan tp., over Sunday, but before coming here they visited in Frankfort and Lafayette. Mr. Timmons says that the marshes ail over the territory where he has traveled are on fire, and that the locomotives are setting fires all" along the tracks which are doing much damage in burning hay and meadows. Last week the smoke at Plymouth was so dense that one could hardly see across the street. Uncle Harve Philips went to Reynolds Saturday to see his sister, Mrs. Delilia Myers, who met with a very serious accident about two weeks ago. In the night time Mrs. Myers wanted a drink, and in order to get water she had to go down stairs. In attempting to do so she fell and landed at the foot of the stairs, having broken her arm and collar bone in the fall. She lay with her head at the bottom of the stairs and her body on the steps for some hours, she does not know how long, but in the morning the neighbors heard her groaning and broke in the door, taking her out of the terrible position she had assumed in falling. She lives by herself and had reached the age of 81 in July las{. She is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. Zimmer, a German farmer of Gillam tp., laid two potatoes on our table Friday that weighed 37% ounces, and on Saturday Frank Eck of Carpenter tp., produced an ear of white corn that measured 14% inches in length. Last week Uncle John JL. Ames reported a cabbage that measured 18 inches in diameter, and week before that Marsh Vsarner reported some corn so high that we had some fears that we would get an awful whaling for making it as high as he said it was —not by him, but by other parties—and now if some one will furnish a tent, and Uncle Marsh and John will bring In their corn and cabbage, we will start a freak show and apply the proceeds to whooping 'er for
