MILROY.

Married —At the residence of the officiating clergyman, Rev. Peter Hinds last Sunday, Caleb Waymire and Estella Castor, both of Jasper county. The schools are progressing finely. Miss May Babcock swings the birch at Fairland and an excellent school is the result. Brother Farmer bought his new bobs just in time to see the snow depart. Minnie Smith, after a long sickness, is up again. There is a strong move by our citizens to organize the Alliance again, all regretting having let it go down. Arthur Parcels has moved into the Roberts’ property. W. T. Myers is erecting a new barn. Hay pressing is all the rage. Three presses running at full capacity and much hay is being moved. The Rev. Peter Hinds is chopping, grubbing and clearing up his farm and will soon have one of the best farms in Milroy township. Mr. Hinds don’t believe much in oak grubs and wild hay, but says our country is adapted to rye, wheat, potatoes and clover. Miss Fanny Myers, who has been expected to die of that dread disease, consumption, is able to be up and around and is improving very fast. Henry Beaver will spend the summer with his father-in-law iu Oklahoma, if his farm arrangements will admit. Now, Charley, remember, no place like home. The people of Milroy township are circulating a paper to build a non-sectarian church near the only cemetery in the township, and if a sum sufficient is subscribed they will start out a collector and proceed to erect a building. Heretofore there has been some dissatisfaction about holding church in the school houses. Our city contains some large land holders in Milroy. Now, brethren, chink up. Dixie.
