BROOK.

BY OBSERVER.

Snow storm Monday. A good turn out election day. For once an ellection passed off in this town without any drunken cases. Basket supper at Duffy college school next Saturday night. The business men of the town are talking canning factory pretty strong. They have a good sum of money subscribed. Rev.'*H. W. Meredith moved to Sheldon, 111., the latter part of last week. Brook loses a good citizen in Mr Meredith. The first Sunday school was held in the U. B. church last Sunday and was a grand success. Mr. Ed. Zook is Supt. and we think he is the right man in the right place. The cold spell has been a severe check to building here. Two brick buildings are waiting for the plasterers. Quite an accident happened at the Mam street rail road crossinglast Saturday morning. Mr. Gean Park’s hand had his team in the lumber yard when a freight going south scared the team and it ran away running against the fourth car from the rear at Main street. They were both killed instantly.
