HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

FAIR OAKS Wanted—Some nice warm weather. Health is reasonably good with us this week. Mr. Clark of Lee was a visitor at the Warne home Sunday. Bert Warne finished up a tenday meeting at Gifford last week. John Dean moved last week to one of Satai Potts’ properties in the west part of town. Mr. and Mrs. John Thorn moved their household goods to Hammond the first of the week. Mrs. Maggie Keller, who has been out Weet for some time, returned the first of the week. The grades in our school were out Thursday but the high school will not foe out for a cowpie of weeks. Jap Warbritten has moved back to town again and occupies the Foltz property' in the north part of town. Uncle John Casey was up from the Soldiers’ home at Marion Saturday on a ten-day furlough. He is looking good and 'feeling fine. The remains of Al Helsel’s little boy were brought here Tuesday for burial. The funeral was held at the M. E. church, and conducted by Rev. Downey. , Mrs. J. J. IHlunt, Mrs. A. H. Hopkins, Mrs. E. P. Honan and C. W. Postill came up Monday evening and started the Liberty loan campaign. The turnout was very light but what were there responded very readily to buying bonds. Joe Akers, who is working for Mr. Hillis, got mixed up in a runaway Monday in which he was thrown from the wagon and pretty

badly bruised up. He got one finger cut off and one arm broken. He will be laid up for some time. The new school house has gotten to the place where the work goes a little slow, perhaps for thp anxiety we have to see it completed is what makes it seem so. The lathers will finish their part of it this week and the plumbers are getting quite well along with their part.
