FAIR OAKS.

Mrs. King has gone to Milwaukee to live. Martin Snow is improving slowly since having the mumps. John Casey gathered in 143 dozen of eggs last week. Levi Hodge has gone to Buffalo, Michigan, to sell the churn dash that gets the butter in three minutes. Miss Emma Russel has returned from Chicago. Martin White was told to get off the passenger train at the crossing, as it did not stop at the depot. In jumping from the train he received several bruises and was injured to such an extent that he kept his bed for a few days. Wm. Russel is hurrying to get the roof on S. P. Thompson’s fine store building at Firman by the 4th of July, as there will be a grand celebration on tliat day. Some degraded ruffian shot Mrs. Hall’s watch dog through the nose and stole John Hall’s shoes, causing him to walk barefooted all the way to Gillam township. True Blue.
