KANKAKEE.

BY INVISIBLE

Mrs. Nancy Gillespie, wife of Leroy Gillespie, died the 20th inst., after an illness of about 2 weeks. Mr. Josiah Lavender and wife are both sick, but on the mend. Harry Turner’s girl has been quite sick, but at last reports she was gaining slowly. Last Sunday a company of young men and boys went to the Kankakee river for a skate and while playing on the ice, near an opening, one of them fell and slid into the water, but by help was rescued, but he had a close call, The G. A. R. members of McCune Post 587, had a social at Comrade Tilly’s on Saturday night. A jolly time, you bet.
