ROSELAWN. Wiliam Overmayer was a .Chicago visitor Monday. ' Elsie North visited the dentist at Rensselaer Monday. Flora Eyre is spending. Her vacation with relatives in Missouri. W. T. Kight shipped a car of stock to the Chicago Market Sunday. ? Owtn Brooke was a Sunday visitor at Pair. We wonder why he goes so far? Pete Nelson, of Brookston, was a Sunday visitor at the home of his mother and 11. 11. Nelson. Reuben Gundy got a hair cut and Ernest Dresoh sold his shotgun. Now isn’t that going some? Mr. and Mrs. William Markham of Newark, Ohio, are visitors at the home of Grandma Nelson and 11. H. Nelson. Mrs. Johanesen, a former resident here, now living in Chicago, spent a few days visiting friends here last week. Sonic, five or six teamsters are hauling rock on the township roads, which have been cut up pretty badly since: the recent heavy rains. Mr. Palmer returned home from’ the Gifford onion fields where he had been working, being compelled to quit work owing to the wet weather. Dr. C. M. Rice accompanied Mrs. Comminga, daughter of Ike Peterman, to a Chicago hospital Monday, where she will probably be operated on for appendicitis. Rev. Postill’s Ford failed him for the first time Sunday and lie was unable to fill his engagement to preach Sunday evening, disappointing a good-sized audience who had gathered to hear him.

The heaviest rain of the season fell last Saturday night and many corn fields are under water. Wheat and rye cutting has been abandoned for the time, and this Monday morn ing looks like more rain. The contest between the “Reds” and “Blues” of the M E. Sunday school, is growing quite warm. The Blues have held the lead so far, and with only two more Sundays until the end of the contest, and then the eats. Roselawn beat Fair Oaks at baseball* Sunday at the latter place, by a score of 6 to 5. Cletos Gundy saved the game team by going on the slab in the firth inning and holding- Fair Oaks’ heavy hitters scoreless, while his own team came from behind and did the .rest. Sounds like White Sox stull, don’t it?
