HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

MOROCCO (From the Courier) W. E. Harris and family of Rensselaer spent Sunday here with his parents, J. C. Harris and wife. Joseph Schanlaub and Will Stucker of North Manchester are visiting relatives in Newton county, and spent Tuesday here with Dr. and Mire. E. R. Schanlaub. Harry Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Martin, was taken to Rensselaer Tuesday and underwent an operation at Once for appendicitis. The appendix was ruptured during the journey, but the lad’s condition has been quite satisfactory since the operation. Vern Sanders, who came here from Rensselaer last spring and was associated with Harold Giffo>rd in the operation of the Motor Inn under the firm name of Gifford & Sanders, has retired from the flrm. The business has been taken over by Mr. Gifford, who will continue as manager. Mary Jane Rimer of near Mt. Ayr, who recently fell and broke the femur bone in her right leg, has been taken to the hospital at Rensselaer, where it was thought better care could be given her. Mrs Rimer is past 80 years of age and the injury will no doubt go bard with her. Lee Dirst, son, of Fletchei' Dirst of east of town, is at the Rensselaer hospital for treatment for appendicitis. The lad suffered a previous attack several months ago but recovered without an operation. The last attack was more serious and he was operated on Saturday and is getting along as well as could be expected.
