HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

ROSELAWN G. H. Jonas and Otis Phillips were Lowell visitors Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Malcahy of west of town were shopping in Roselawn Monday. Claude Burton and wife visited friends near Lake Village Sunday afternoon. John Snip of four miles northeast of town hauled stove wood for Otis Phillips last week. Sheriff McColly was up from Rensselaer Sunday shaking hands with old acquaintances and friends. Mrs. Dagy is preparing to return to Chicago to spend the winter with her aged father, whose health is very poor. Joseph LaCosse came home Monday evening from Chicago, where lie had been visiting relatives and seeing the sights for the past week. H. H. Nelson and family and Grandma Nelson and son George autoed to Wolcott Sunday and visited relatives while Fred kept bachelor’s hall. There will he preaching next Sunday night at 7:30 by Rev. Whare. Come out, everybody, in welcome. We are sure you will say, “I am glad I came,’’ when you hear this young man preach. The campaign has been rather slow starting in this locality, in fact there has not been anything stirring yet, and the people are just as well satisfied generally, as they are busy and have not time to attend political meetings. Roeer Smith was greatly worked Tip Monday over the disappearance of a young porker, which he had lately acquired. After tracking the pig to town it was finally found at the home of G. H. Jonas. Mrs. Jonas discovered the stranger in her yard and penned it up awaiting an owner for it. Roger’s pig is something like the Irishman’s ® ea —“in again, out again, gone again, Finnegan.” Rev. Whare, our newly assigned minister, preached his first sermon here Sunday evening to a good sized audience. Mr. Whare is a young man of exceptional ability as a minister and delivered a splendid sermon, taking his text from the first chapter of Hebrews. The members of the church and the community in general should try and appreciate the efforts this young man will put forth for the betterment of our community. With our help he can do much, and as he said in his sermon, if we all pull together in the same direction.
