Francesville Tribune: Miss Wilda Green returned to her home at Remington Tuesday after a pleasant visit with Miss Nellie Osborne. . . Charles Bartholomew of Retning-

ton has been the guest of his daughter, Mrs*. Theodore Garrigues. . Old Settlers Day at the Park last Thursday was not as largely attended as it should have been, owing to the rain keeping many away. The address by Ex-Governor Hoch of Kansas was excellent and should have been heard by a much larger' crowd. Sunday was another good day at Fountain Park. Not as large an attendance, of course, as the Sunday previous, but a good big crowd, larger than was hoped for even. The Park management is very well pleased over the patronage received this year. The lecture at Fountain Park last Sunday was certainly one of the worst jumbled up lectures ever made on the Park grounds, and' it was evident to those that heard it — several got up and left before it was over—that the lecturer had mistaken his calling. The P. C. in his case meant Plow Corn instead of Preach Christ.

MT. AYR. (From the Pilot.) Mrs. Frank Clinton is quite sick at this writing. , Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Delong are entertaining his brother and wife of Ohio. Mrs. Johnson and daughter Mollie

went to Rensselaer yesterday to visit the Horsewood’s. The majority of our farmers are storing away their oats crop hoping for better prices. Mrs. Seward arrived home Thursday from Michigan where she has been visiting her son this summer. At present she is staying with her daughter, Mrs. George Brown. Reports from Frank Herath are very flattering for his full recovery from the operation he underwent recently. May he soon return home in full health is the wish of his many friends. ; Foster Brunton is getting the material on the ground for a barn 40x 26, 18 feet to the eaves. This when completed, will be of the most modern plan and an ornament to his holdings. Mrs. George Bartley, son and daughter of Peotone, 111., were guests during the week of Gene and James Rice. They held a reunion at King Chamberlain's Saturday, and some twenty gathered in. Frank and Harvey Casto left Thursday morning for Monon where they have an all fall's job of ditching. John Brooks went along as teamster, and look over the prospects for elevating dirt for tiling. Word was received during the week that Erney Schanlaub, who Is in Chicago undergoing treatment for his eye, could see a little out of it, and the physicians hoped to retore same to its full power of vision.

Jap Wright was out Friday, the first time since his accident. It would be impossible for him to dance the Irish Washerwoman or some of those old time dances, but he was as lively as a cricket when you take into consideration his fractured limb and several cracked ribs. The Shindler Bros, are pushers. They commenced this week to clear up the debris caused by the fire last week and put in the foundation for a 60x44 barn, 16 feet to the eaves. Charles Penwright has the contract to do the carpenter work. The boys

are undecided whether they will buy - of local lumber yards or go to Chicago and get the complete bill. This shows enterprise on the part of the Shindler boys in rushing the barn to completion.
