FOUR CORNERS.

Anna Jasperson will teach the home school this winter. T. F. Maloney was measuring up the Fisher lateral Tuesday. Sept.. 6, to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Vanderear, a new set of twins. Quite a number from this section attended the rair at Kankakee Thursday. The dredge camp was moved Wednesday miles east, now on Sec. 34, south of Tefft. John Shirer, trustee and Thos. Jones are repairing the Van Patton school house this week. A nice rai; fell Wednesday night, but not enough to put the ground in good condition to plant. The farmers of this section are all busy plowing for wheat. As large an acreage will seeded as last year.

At this writing Mr. and Mrs. Bert Vanlefcar have a very sick child, which is in a critical condiwith infantile paralysis. . The schools of Kankakee tp., are all supplied with teachers except one. We understand Trustee Karch of Walker is short four teachers. Mrs. F. W. Fisher, Warren and Orville, Mr. and Mrs. D^ r e Wesner and Frank Neier and wife attended the Kankakee fair Thursday. Trustee John Shirer is busy this week putting the school buildnigs in sanitary condition. The schools of this township will begin Sept. 11. Nelson, the photographer and central man. has moved into the Myers building near the C. & E. I. Ry., which he recently purchased of Chas. Myers. P. E. Davis of Florida, who formerly lived here, is making an extended visit and on account of his health will be obliged to remain until after cool weather sets in. Jack Smith, carrier out of Wheatfield, has been turned from his own door, caused by a mild case of scarlet fever in the family. His little daughter is the unfortunate. Saturday the examination for a rural carrier out of Tefft will be held at Rensselaer. Some eight or ten will make the effort. All, so far as we know, would be satisfactory 'to the patrons of the route. May the best man win.

The dry land dredge has moved to the McNeil lateral, a part of which was dug by the boat- dredge but on account of too much fall oould go no farther. Both dredges «tre now at work on Sec. 34. The sad news came from Rensselaer Wednesday of the death of C. M. and Mrs. Sand’s infant son. The sympathy of their many friends in this part of the county is extended to them in this, their hour of sorrow. Mrs. M. V. Sands and daughter of Tefft attended the funeral Thursday. A Labor day blow out was planned at the Camp. Bills were scattered throughout the width and breadth of the land. Mayor Harrison, we heard, was sent a special invitation. A special train loaded to the deck was expected from Chicago. The North Judson band was employed to render sweet music, beer was on tap at Sunday prices, 15c straight. But the crowd did not appear—-thirst was not in evidence. In fact, a small Sunday crowd. The dupes from a distance, like the local ones, are becoming wise.

FAIR OAKS.

Weather has been quite warm the past few days, and corn is ripening very fast. Quite a number of farmers are preparing to sow a good many acres of wheat this fall. The ground is so dry it is quite hard to plow. Joe Kosta and others from his neighborhood were in town Tuesday entertaining Trustee Kight, tryingto prevail on him to build a school house, in their neck of the woods, as they live quite a distance from a school.

The old school bell at Smifh school which has been silent for about two years, will ring again Monday morning to welcome the ohildren back. The Smith children have been hauled to Burns school the past year on account of there not being enough patrons to pay to hire a teacher.

Population Center Officially Is Fixed.

1 Brown county, Indiana, is sore | distressed. In July the Census! Iturceu announced the center of population within her boundaries' and designated the exact spot,' whereupon Brown county people named a day for celebration and erected a monument. A few j weeks later the Census Bureau discovered an error in multiplication which shifted the center; eight miles further west, to a point within the corporate limits of Bloomington, Monroe county, Indiana. This leaves Brown 1 county with a useless monument: on her hands, and only a mem-' ory of having entertained the* center of population for a brief fortnight.
