Mrs. James Skinner returned home last week from- Wabash where she had been with her sister, Mrs. Sarah Blake, since the death of the latter’s daughter and grandchild, Mrs. Pearl McDaniel and infant son.

Mrs. W. A. Traugh, a former resident of Remington, now of Bloomington, 111., who has been visiting Mrs. O. P. Taber and other friends here, returned home Tuesday. The Woman’s Home Missionary society of the M. E. church met with Mrs. Dudley Tyler Tuesday afternoon. There was a large attendance. Mrs. Will Stitz and Mrs. C. A.

Mrs. Merle Wall of Logansport is spending the week here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ott, having accompanied them on their return home Monday. She has just recovered from a severe spell of inflammatory rheumatism, which she says is no joke at all. Rev. Baker of the Catholic congregation is now driving—or at least attempting to drive —a fine new Ford sedan which he ordered in the winter and has just been delivered. A popular donation paper passed last week among his many friends assisted in liquidating the bill for the same, much to his surprise. The Warren McCray band wagon with a big bull at the head of it was in town again today. McCray believes in advertising—when it ddbsU’t cost anything. There were about 100 decorated autos in the welcoming parade, and we’ll bet

there were not enough people left In Kentland to fight a fire. P. S. Griffith has made arrangements to open a new restaurant and eating house in the Frank Melrose room, recently vacated by Babb’s grocery. The room, is being prepared for his use and he will be ready to open up in a few days. We understand that Claude Lambert, whose health will not permit of his returning to the city, will remain here permanently and have charge of the new eating house.
