HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

BROOK (From the Reporter)

Miss Opal Light is in Remington in charge of the Camp Fire Girls, ■who are camping out. Miss Rose Mayhew left Monday for a two weeks’ vacation. This week at Veedersburg and the next with het sister .at Kewanna.

Mr. and Mrs. Roy Zook of Chicago came down on Saturday and spent Sunday with the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Zook. Mrs. Chas. Denham and Miss Grace Thompson left on Wednesday for Remington, where they will spend the next ten days at Fountain park.

Ezra J'lies of Chicago came down on Monday to attend the funeral of his aunt, Mrs. John Lowe, of Kentland and to spend a couple of weeks wjjh his parents here. Some of the threshing runs finished up this week and the balance will finish up the beginning of next week. The general average of the oats has been the same, about 35 bushels per acre.

Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Coan came over from Chatsworth on Monday and returned home on Tuesday, taking their daughter Hazel, who has been spending the past week with girl friends here. On their return last week Mr. and Mrs. Ulrey stopped off in Michigan and visited Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Ulrey. Crops there are fair with the exception of corn, which is small this year owing to the lack of rain. Morton Ulrey and Lyman Sawyer left the first of the week for Billings, Montana, to look over land propositions. They will visit Judith Basin, and will stop in Gillett, Wyoming, on their return. The connecting link road between Jackson and Iroquois townships is hearing completion, and the finishing of this road will make an all stone road to Mt. Ayr, the only town in the county not connected by stone road.

One of the garage men stated that in the last weea, there has been housed in their garage over night, cars from 11 different states. This gives an idea of what uses the automobile is being put too during the traveling season. - W. E. Brown of Hartford, Michigan, was in town the latter part of last week a guest at the Agate home. He says that both the peach and apple crop are above the ordinary, and all other crops are good with the exception of corn, which is below the average crop. O. M. Lyons shpped two cars of cattle to Chicago on Sunday to arrive on Monday’s market. The load from the home farm topped the market, selling for $10.90. The other from the Sant Kemper place brought $10.55. When it comes to finishing up a bunch of cattle for the top price ycur Uncle Oliver always lays one over the balance of the boys. Clint Hayworth of Nebraska arrived in Brook on Wednesday and will visit his brother and other rela tives here. Mr. Hayworth was back on a visit about three years ago and that was the first time he has been in this section since he left 40 years ago. He spent his younger days in the vicinity of Kentland and knows the old timers of this section. The many friends of Mrs. Harve Major, for many years a resident of Brook, and for the last three years of Morocco, were surprised to hear of her death Wednesday from septic poisoning. She was taken sick on last Saturday and her condition was not thought serious until Monday, when a change for the worse took place and she died at the time above stated. The funeral services will be held in Morocco on Friday at 10 o’clock.

The corn around this vicinity seems to be as good if not better than anywhere we have seen this season. Some think the corn farther advanced now than at this time last year. Barring frost, we will have better than an average crop around Brook. But the conditions over this section are so spotted that an average crop is not possible even under the best conditions. Some of the corn will not make anything but fodder if we have no frost until Christmas,

Although it was not unexpected, but when the news was given out Monday morning that Richard Hai’ had passed away the community was caused to grieve because they knew a good man had been called from our midst.

FRANCESVILLE. (From the Tribune.) Dr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Ives ana son were Rensselaer visitors Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Jacob Frohm and son Clarence are visiting relatives at Saybrook, Illinois.

Mr. and Mrs. Omar Ricks of Kokomo, who have been the guests of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Ricks, for the past week, returned to their home Monday. Newspaper print has shot up in price from sl-95 per hundred to $5.25 at the mills. Thus it is plain to be seen that newspapers are being seriously affected by the •’ present high prices that are changing in every line of industry. As a result many publishers are clearing up their list of subscribers who do not pay, seldom pay, or pay slowly. Miss Tracy Fitzpatrick and Mr. Charles M.’Chevvers, were married by Judge Franklin in Chicago, Mori-’ day of last week. The first information of the event reached here Friday when Mrs. Fitzpatrick, mother of the bride, returned from Whiting

where she had been visitAig them. The bride is the only daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. John Fitzpatrick of this place. She is a talented musician and possesses a personality that, endeared her to a number of friends here to whom the information of her manage came as a surprise. The groom conducts a prosperous barber business in Whiting where they first met several months ago and the romance began. Archie, the ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Riggs in White Post township, was badly trampled by a horse Sunday evening. The lau entered the barn to gather the eggs, some of which were* in a-stall at the head of one of the horses. In some way the horse got him down and tramped him beneath his feet and he was lucky to escape as he did. One of the injuries was a star-shaped gash upon the forehead that required 28 stitches to close, Drs. Sharrer & Sharret doing ths surgical work. His chest and back were bruised and the ligaments of the left ankle lacerated. The boy was used up quite badly but is doing well, everything considered.

ROSELAWN Fred Nelson and cousin Albert autoed to the river Wednesday and brought home a nice mess of fish. Mrs. Djoure of Willamette, 111., spent the latter part of the week with her friend, Mrs. Conger. Deputy Prosecutor Sands was in Roselawn Saturday morning on offl cial business. Henry Defries was down from Thayer Thursday in his new Maxwell, calling on Uncle William Good and wife. Otis Phillips and daughter Mary Jane spent Friday at the home of Mrs. Phillips’ parents, Mr. and Mrs Jasper Makeever, near North Star church. The public sale at the hotel Saturday was a success in every way. Mr. Gundy’s property brought good prices. One of the largest crowds Roselawnites have witnessed for many days attended. Cletus Gundy and Otis Phillips autoed to Lowell Tuesday on business. Cletus knows about all the fair ones along the route between here and Chicago, we think, judging from the number between here and Lowell. ’ Mr. and Mrs. Gundy and son Cletus left Monday morning for Chicago for a short visit with friends and relatives, after which they will continue on their way to Almira, Mont. Mr. and Mrs. Gundy have been successful in their business here and we are sorry to see them go, but wish them success and happiness wherever they may locate Mr. McDaniel, present county clerk, was a Roselawn visitor Thursday and Saturday, getting acquainted with the voters of Lincoln tp. Hp is a very pleasing gentleman to talk to and a most gentlemanly appearing man. He realizes he has a hard fight to gain the election in this county and that he has a strong opponent on the Republican ticket, but has no word of censure for C. E. Hosier, the Republican candidate. Mrs. Burton is the new owner of the hotel, taking charge Saturday evening after the sale. This popular hotel will hereafter be know’n as the Burton hotel, and we are sure the reputation built up for the place by Mrs. Gundy will be maintained, as Mrs. Burton has been a successful caterer to the public for years and needs no introduction to the people of our community. The people of Roselawn and vicinity extend to them a hearty welcome and wish them success in our town and in their business.

W. T. Kight and family and Dr. Rice and family autoed to Crown Point Thursday to the Lake county fair, and report a large crowd and a good program, the races being especially good. The motorcycle race proved to be a very sad affair in which a young man of Crown Point lost his life. The accident was caused by tw,o of the racers ahead running together and being thrown from their machines, and before they could get their machines off th® track the young man riding at a furious speed struck one of their machines and was thrown under his own machine and killed. We did not learn the unfortunate young man’s name. (The young man’s, name was Buse, and while his life was at first despaired of at last reports it was thought he would recover.—Ed.)
