COUNTRY HEWS LETTERS

FOUR CORNERS. Freeman, of near San Pierre, shipped a car of hogs to Chicago tor Friday's market. . F, G. Barnard, of Fowler, came up Friday to superintend the placing of some tile on his farms here. Our friend of the Review wrote on the examination at North Judson Saturday lor the position of postmaster at Wheatfield. The revival at Tefft has closed for the want of gasoline, and the sinners, of which there are many, are turned over to the mercies of an unkind world.

County Agent Barrett was at the J. W. Mannan farm Monday, but on account of the downpour, the at- , tendance was poor: The Tefft school was dismissed lor the occasion. The pumps froze up Tuesday night, and the farmers who have their oats sown are. wondering “what will the harvest be?” Had tlie weather permitted, a greater part of the oats would have been sown this week. to enter the race lor trustee. He shaves twice a week, gets a hair cut two times a month and has added two inches to the stem of his old clay pipe. Go to it, John, you have our consent. Our friend “Doc” Gregory, who received the nomination for trustee on the democratic ticket, will hereafter leave two trial bottles at the home of the doubtful voter, and one as heretofore at the home of the true and dependable. Miss Grace Poole was called home by the serious condition of her brother, and our trustee will try to get some one to finish her term of school at Tefft, of which there remains four weeks. Her brother at last reports was very low. Carl Nier and F. G, Barnard are shipping tile to Wlheatfield from distant points, and the factory at home remains idle. We suggest that the power that holds the destiny of Wheatfield in the hollow of his hand, order the owner of the tile factory to start the wheels to moving or the Booster Club will confiscate the property. We were not correctly informed as to the name of ther party who purchased the lumber business of G. O'. Stemble, and gave the name of Win. Helmick, who was contemplating starting a new lumber yard, as the party, but will say Mr.'Helmick has lumber on the ground and will be glad to meet any and all who are contemplating building this year.. .The democrats of Wheatfield tp. held their convention Saturday in the opera house. A large crowd was in I

' nd-aftc •• and a full ticket nominated. a few scattering republians and .-e: • v ere present, who no* doubt came to see what kind of men the democrats put up. They “ • nt home convinced that the republicans in their convention did a wise :.ct when they placed an undertaker the head of their township ticket. He can look after and care for the remains of his party, after the November election. One lone and forlorn progressive made his getaway from town and attended the county convention Saturday, We no doubt will see his name some place among the faithful on the county ticket. Two of the progressives of two years ago dropped back into line, ar.d to reward them the republicans sent them as delegates to the county convention, ■t seems as though the voters of north Jasper, are hungry for office, and they are not all of one Class or party, either. They grab at everv plum that is offered—postoffiee and all. Like some of those in the late republican convention, our appetite is not as good as it was once. Wondor how Robert-and John's appetite is holding out?

F. LONG

FAIR OAKS. Health is generally good in our town at this writing. Mrs. Cottingham returned from Momence Saturday. Pete Wood unloaded a carload of salt here Monday for J. J. Lawler Lllis Beals, of Illinois, was a visitor at Abe Bringle’s over Sunday. Gabe Parks and daughter, of near 1 arr, attended church here Sunday. Rev. Postill filled his regular appointment at the M. E. church Sunday evening. Miss l Finley visited her sister at Lacrosse from Friday evening until Monday morning. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rush, on the Bradford farm, west of town, a girl. All concerned doing well. George Culp, of near Lee, visited his sister, Miss Hannah Culp, here Sunday, and attended church at Will Warren’s. A few of the farmers have begun sowing oats, and no doubt will now wish they had waited until ground hog weather was over.

Fish ilmore, of his birthday, it ’ being Lis 51st milestone in life. His wife enjoyed their visit as well as Fish. continues just about the same, and has to get about in a wheei chair.

We certainly have been having “some weather” the past few days. \\hile it rained all day Monday, Tuesday was a cloudy dav and it turned colder and froze up everything . and the wind blew pretty high all night, and Wednesday and Thursday mornings it gave us some real old-fashioned March weather ' rf lh the nir filled with snow flurries.
