EAST WALKER.

Farmers are still praying for rain. Rose Kight is again back on Hog Point. A. girl at Henry Meyers last Saturday. Dr. Stockwell talks of making Rensselaer his home in the near future. Ezra Hershman and family, of Union township, visited ' his brother last week. Everything has been killed by the late frost and the farmers are somewhat discouraged. Jesse Somers has returned to Walker again. We are glad to see his smiling face once more. All the good people are coming back to Walker. Elda Cavinder has just returned from Chicago Heights. Mr. Ezra Switzer, of Barkley township, made a Hying trip to Walker Saturday night and took his best girl to church. The Quarterly meeting at Dew Drop was quite a nice affair, although a great many forgot to bring their baskets. Miss Minerva Spriggs has returned from Boone Grove with her health badly impaired, but we hope she will soon recover. John Pettit and Geo. Hershman talk of buying a threshing machine. Boys don’t you think it rather late to start out threshing? Mr. Elwood Spriggs did not go to DeMotte last Sunday to sell fruit trees, as his sister took his buggy and did not return until dark. • Apple Tree.
