Sorghum Valley.

Mr. Chas. Pullins and Cale Hopkins shipped a couple of car loads of hogs to Chicago last week., Mt Ayr poultry dealers paid us 9£ cents for turkeys at home last week. About a dozen of our young folks attended the debate at Marlboro last Friday night and all seemed to have had a most enjoyable time. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. John Nowels on Tuesday of last week, a son. Mrs. Lucy Fritz is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Nowels. All week we have heard innumerable expressions of dissatisfaction among the members of the Prohibition Club concerning the manner in which the meeting was carried on last Saturday night. As a school boy, I would like to ask why they don’t act in accordance with their adopted constitution. It seems that the president, having grown weary of his prohibition work, instead of notifying the club of his intended resignation, so a new president might have been elected, makes no explanation, but sends an unpopular substitute to the chair, while he himself stays back in the audience, and thus causes confusion. Rev. Shaft will preach at the Chappel next Sunday, morning and evening. School Boy.
