Johnny Cook, of the Pioneer Drug Store, is having a tussel with a bad cold. Mrs. Speece, of Fort Wayne, formerly Miss Townsend, of this place, is visiting her parents this week. Mrs. M. Cox visited her parents at Fair Oaks, Thanksgiving, and returned home Saturday. Miss French, of Julian, one of the teachers in our public school, picked turkey bones with pa and ma, Thanksgiving. It is rumored at this place that Mr. F. Steembaugh will soon open up a new barber shop in tpwn. Mr. Burgess, our druggist, says the next time the Demo’s have a blow-out he will try and erect a temporary hospital near his store and have a good physician in attendance. A district Sunday School Convention is to be held at this place next Saturday and Sunday. Treasurer-elect Jenkins has taken charge of the office at Kentland but has not moved his family yet.

A farmer living three or four miles south of this place says he was out in his yard the night of the Democratic jolification at this place and that the man in the moon actually held his nose as he passed over the town. Ella Griggs and Harry Gardner ate Thanksgiving turkey at home. The former is attending school at Greencastle and Mr. L. at Wabash, Ind. One of the worst habits to cultivate is that of believing all some old gossiper tells you. You should never give to much credence to everything that is said against yourself, for no two persons tell the same story alike, and remember a story usually acquires at least twenty-five per cent, additional in fiction by being retold.

Biela is too smart a man to ever figure out the course of this mighty riproaring monster and then let it come over this way, and with one fell swoop of its tail wipe out all Democratic office-seek-ers,” and he jerked a few more extra jerks at the old split pump, and becoming disgusted, he tucked his pants legs further down in his boot tops and started for Case’s with the remark that Theo. Carew could get him five drinks before he could get one at that darned busted pump. Jack the Ripper.

H. P. Albert, of belongs to more secret societies than any other man in the United States, being enrolled in seventy-eight of them. For instance, Mrs. Chp,s. Rogers, of Bay City, Mich., accidently spilled scalding water over her little boy. She promptly applied De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve, giving instant relief. It’s a wonderfully good salve for burns, bruises, sores and a sure cure for piles. A. F. Long & Co. Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the Norwegian novelist, will visit England for the first time.
