Nagvl went to Lafayette yesterday for a few days’ visit. -Mrs. Thomas Wiieeler of Dover, Okla., came this week to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Walters, of Gillam tp. We got a little shower of rain in Rensselaer Thursday afternoon, barely enough to lay the dust. Over about Remington and as far north as St. Joseph College a good rain fell. We have not had a good rain here now for a month, and it is needed quite badly again. On October Bth, twenty-five men gathered at the Brown cemetery in Barkley tp., to remove the dd board fence and replace it with a beautiful woven wire fence purchased of the Cyclone Fence Co., Waukegan, 111., and paid for by the Ladies’ Aid of the Barkley Christian church. At the noon hour nine women came with well-filled baskets and spread a sumptous dinner in the “shade of the old apple tree” of fried chicken, pumpkin pie and many other good things that goes to make a good picnic dinner. It is needless to say the men did ample justice to the dinner with, as they called it, Adam’s ale to drink, made iri mother’s coffee boiler.—One That Was Present.

Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Yeoman, former residents of Newton tp., came Wednesday and will spend the here with Mrs. Yeoman’s mother, Mrs. Mary Powell, who is in poor health. Mr. Yeoman’s son, Alva, is married and occupies his home farm near Columbia City. His two daughters are in Anderson. Mr. Yeoman has just sold a 25 acre farm, Upon which he had been living, and. cleaned up a nice profit on same. He bought this place a year ago last May at SB6 per acre, and sold it for sl3l per acre. He also sold his corn on the place at $3 4 per acre. The place was rather run down when he bought it, but he fixed it up without much actual money outlay and made a nice profit. They hare sold off their personal property and expect to spend the winter in Rensselaer, but have no plans further than this.
