Mr. and Mrs. Clem Stoner of Valparaiso, who have been here visiting the latter’s brother, Louis Muster and family for the past week, returned home Saturday. Misses Grace? and Halite Hendrix of Greencastle, who had been here visiting their aunt, Mrs. J. A. McFarland and family, for a few days, returned home Saturday. Mrs. M. E.

Miss Nellie Courtright of Knox, who had been here visiting her father, W. D. Courtright, wiio resides with L. H. Markley, for the past few days, returned home Sunday. Rev. and Mrs. O. F. Jordan of Evanston, 111., spent Thanksgiving with his father, W. N. Jordan and family of near Gifford. Rev. Jordan is pastor of the M. E. church at the former place. W. H. Parkison spent last week in Indianapolis in the interests of his auto transmission gear. He came home to spend Sunday, returning to the capitol city Monday morning. The plan of putting in an auto factory at Brook has been abandoned, we are told, and now it is the intention to organize a company for the manufacture of the gear at Indianapolis. The supreme court will reconvene Monday after a few days vacation, and it is expected that a decision will be handed down on the day of re-convening of the court in the case wherein the constitutionality of the county option law is attacked. A great many of the knowing ones believe the decision will be against the law, while others., just as knowing, say the reverse. C. P. Wright & Son have closed up a couple of good-sized real estate deals in the past week. One of these is where G. E. Murray of Rensselaer trades some property which he secured about a year ago in Marion for the J. B. Wattles farm of 165 acres in Walker tp., and the other was a trade by F. B. Ham of property in Matthews, Ifad., for a 160 acre farm in Hhnging Grove owned by H. B. Butler of Marshall, Ind. E. B. Dibell, whose sadden illness was mentioned in last week's Enterprise, seems to be slowly improving. His daughter Mable, who is attending the Western College at Oxford, and his son Harry, who is a student at DePauw University, were summoned home last Friday. Harry returned to his studies Tuesday. A trained nurse from Chicago came Wednesday to care for Mr. Dibell. Thursday morning he was reported very comfortable and his condition improving.—Wolcott Enterprise. The supreme court handed down a decision in the Rogers vs- Rogers case, of Morocco. Attorney Herman Rogers of that place was sued by a former wife for alimony, granted by an Ohio court, but not paid, and fought by Rogers on the ground that Ohio courts had no jurisdiction in this state, of which he is now a resident. The supreme court held that the verdict of the Ohio court was perfectly valid in the court of Indiana, and the only way out for Herman is to djg up the filthy lucre. —Brook Reporter. Dr. Miller writes us to change the address of his Democrat from Mecca, Ind., to New Salem, Rush county, Ind. He moved from Mecca to New Salem on account of the poor sanitary conditions existing at Mecca, which is said to be a very unhealthy place—a good location for a doctor but a poor place for his family to live. Dr. Miller has bought out the practice of an old doctor at New Salem, and in locating there they are close to Mrs. Miller’s parents, who are old and in poor health and wanted the doctor to locate near them. John and Levi Renicker came up from North Manchester Friday evening to look after some business matters here, returning home yesterday. Levi has sold his farm near North Manchester, after owning it about five months, for about $1,600 more than he paid. With Mrs. Renicker he recently spent about four weeks at Hugo, . Colo-, hoping the change would benefit • Mrs. Renicker’s -health, but the hope was futile, and they came back to North Manchester, where she later died. Mr. Renlcker was moet favorably impressed with the country about Hugo. Corn husking is all done up about North Manchester, although they have had It quite wet there this fall.
