CARPENTER TOWNSHIP.

BY DON’T TELL.

Tile ditching is again inorder. A good deal of sickness in this vicinity, but no one dangerously sick.

The teacher and pupils of the Price school are enjoying a three weeks vacation. Chas. Ulm has moved on Geo. H. May’s farm. His sister will keep house for him.

Warren L. Roadifer has moved back on his father's farm and will try farming in Indiana again. George Griffith’s have moved on Mr. Bonner's farm. Fay Wood has moved on the* farm vacated by Mr. Griffith. The warm weather of January followed by the cold weather in February has put the quietus on the peach crop in this section. Some farmers in the adjoining counties have begun f owing oats. Rather early, Prof. Hicks may change the weather yet. But from present appearances, the March lamb may be larger than the lion.

At No. 3, this question was discussed: Resolved, That the welfare of the country depends upon the success of the republican party.” Decided by the judges in favor of the negative. The republicans this year appear to be strictly “not in it.” Chas. Bonner Jr., left for Dakota last week, where he expects to try farming this year. His parents will visit here and in Illinois for some time and join him in Dakota later in the season. We are sorry to lose Mr. Bonner as they are a credit to any neighborhood. May joy and success attend them.

The entertainment at No. 3, Saturday evening, March 3rd, was a grand success in every way, a good time generally. The songs, recitations and dia logues were very interesting. Good music furnished by Mr. Sam Spacey, organist, Mr. Will Meyers, violinist, and Emma tin nine year old daughter of Mr. Meyers, picking the banjo. Every one went home feeling that their, dime and time had beer well spent.
