Miss Mabel Ward of Union City, spent Sunday with Miss Eva Maine's. You will find everything clean and up-to-date, no rowdyism or profane language at Box Ball Alley. C. P. Wright returned from a business trip Saturday, and while absent closed up a couple of good deals.

pj. A. Brenner has about concluded a trade that will put him in possession of the Makeever house again. Jenk is one of the best landlords in this neck of the woods and v is anybody can make a hotel pay he can. The traveling public will certainly welcome the change.

Benny King, living on the old Jasper Kenton farm, was bitten by a dog Tuesday morning while trying to out of a trap in which it had accidently got caught. His finger was badly lacerated and he was also bitten in the arm. It is too early to determine whether the bite will result seriously, but it is hoped it will not.

Among those home to vote Tuesday were: Charlie Macklenburg and Vern Jacks from Lafayette; Charles Mann from Cincinnati, Ohio; Hon. Jesse E. Wilson and William K.'Martin from Washington, D. C.; Richard Beck from-Lebanon; George Putts from Dwight, Ill.; Carl Duvall and Rue Parcels from Indianapolis; Omar Day of Purdue; John Ellis and Ernest Clark from Chicago.

JsAt last the antl-saloonlsts have got the best of J. J. Garrity of Mt. Ayr. A remonstrance was filed late Friday night that contained three more names than the requisite number to knock him out. There is but one more saloon in Newton county and if no election is held under the Hanly county option law It is only a matter of a few months until there will be none at all From reports that come from good and reliable sources th'ere seems to be no doubt that Newton county will go "wet” if an opportunity is offered to vote on the question. After December Roselawn will be the only “wet” ..town in Newton county.

''KRobert J. Yeoman of Newton tp., 4as 55 years old Sunday, and his wife and family together with his relatives and . friends gave him a surprise that took him feet. Robert was at Sunday school* and during his absence the "house was taken” and when he got home a houseful of neighbors and friends were there with baskets filled to the bails with good things to eatJ The dinner was something to make* anyone sit up and take notice. Eighty guests were present, but on account of sickness the fathers of both Mr. and Mrs. Yeoman could not be present. The afternoon was spent in innocent pastimes, and altogether this was an occasion to be long remembered by all those present who were fortunate to be present.

PSarey Carr arrived home Saturday from a three weeks visit with his daughter, IWrs. Arthur Arnott of Spokane, Wash. This was Mr. Carr’s first trip to the coast and very naturally he was much interested in the immensity of the great mountain scenery that surrounded him for many hours, changing as a chamelon changes the hue of its skin without scarcely. being conscious of where the change takes place. He found his daughter and husband enjoying good health and doing nicely. While at Spokane he visited Alfred Crisler, a brother of Mrs. Benj. Harris of this city, who lives on a farm 15 miles southeast of that city. Mr. Crisler went there 31 years ago and at that time there was no town where Spokane is now. In those 81 years a city 7 miles one way and 8 the other has grown up and is still growing very rapidly.

Fowler Leader: Although several blds were offered the fixtures and building formerly occupied by the Bank of Fowlerz Is still unsold. Willard Elliott, the receiver of this bank, and also the bank at Ambia, with his attorney, Albert G. Jenkins, were in town yesterday but nothing definite was done. The Baldwin & Dague banks pt Ambia and Fowler are much better secured than the bank at Goodland. The Goodland Bank has on its hands for collection the personal note of Baldwin & Dague for 161,000. The banks at Fowler and Ambia have besides the building and fixtures, the home of Mr. Dague. an 18,600 mortgage on land in Cass county, x and the holding of 'property in Arkansas. As soon as the property is sold the depositors will be paid. Grant .Hall will go to Logansport tomorrow to interview Messrs. Baldwin and Dague in regard to the sale of the Arkansas land.
