KANKAKEE.

W. W. Hinshaw made a flying trip to Michigan City last week to buy lumber in car load lots. David A. Collins is assessing our people. It is probable we will have a new shool house erected in the vicinity of the southwest comer of Sec. 25 this summer. We hope it will be put up at much less cost than the $1,500 structure built last season. There will be a general clean up in this vicinity at the June term of circuit court, as one of the boys is under SI,OOO bonds for his appearance. What has become of Whoopee or better known as Brown Britches? Measles at J. C. Kaupkey’s, Robert Hall's, Win. Hinshaw’s and J. Finn’s. The Oak Grove literary and debating society closed Friday evening, April 14th, on the occasion of the closing of the school taught by Miss Anna Mannon. The above society was the only one in the townsip meeting with success. The celebration of Washington’s birthday and the closing of school will long be remembered by the large audiences. Visitors were present not only from our sister townships, Walker and Wheatfield, but from the counties of Pulaski, Starke, La Porte and Porter. They all expressed themselves as amply repaid for their long trip. The society adjourned until the beginning of school next fall. The school just closed was one of the best ever taught in the township, and the teacher deserves great credit for the great interest she took in her scholars and school. School Girl.
