Mrs. Grover Smith’s condition remains about the same. Jerome Nelson says it was a false alarm; he has not sold his farm, but will continue to remain an honest and earnest tiller of the soil. The stores 4»f Wheatfield are put* ting on Christmas attire, but with the H. C. L no doubt the sales will be on the down grade this season. . Tefft lost two of her prominent citizens last week, the Leibies went to a warmer climate. No, they are living yet; just went to Arkansas for the winter. . The Helmick sale was well attended and has no complaint at the prices bid for his property. He leaves this week for Florida to make his future home. Ross Ropp has sold his personal property and moved to the city of Wheatfield. The bright lights of the great city surely have an attraction for Ross. Nice to be a sport, but expensive. , Ed Lakin and W. M.

W/ Fisher. ” Dear Friend —Yours of the Ist just in, and as Charley, is busy pa king peppers and egg plant for the northern market, he has requested me tp write to you. In regard to Aunt Minerva, will say that I am writing Hermle today to sign up for Charles and I for SSO- We have not forgotten 'her loving kindness to Charles’s mother during all of the months and years of her long suffering, nor have we forgotten the tactful care she gave Grandpa Myers when none of us could do anything for him, after his mind became so clouded; and there is no one living in or around Wheatfield who knows her or whd has ever had sickness or death or trouble who does not owe her that which money can never pay, and I hope she will accept the money raised in the spirit in which it is given and not' as charity. It is not charity—but only a slight appreciation of her many past kindnesses. Here is hoping you may, with the help of the good people of Wheatfield and vicinity, be able to raise the whole amount of her loss in the recent bank robbery. Regards to all, MRI AND MRS. CHARLES MYERS. The above letter explains itself. Do you wish to be one to help make good the loss? If you do, leave your name and subscription at the Fendig drug store or hand to F. W. Fisher within the next week. The names, with the amounts subscribed, will be .published. Get your name on the honor roll.
