KNIMAN.

BY IMMAGINATION.

Rev. B. F. Ferguson was in >ur town last week. The teachers of Walker township attended joint Institute at Wheatfield, with Wheatfield and Kankakee townships. A good time was reported. Mr. William Ballinger, of this dace, is attending a law suit in Ohio. The Peters’ Hay Press has oeen moved to Marlboro and several hands from here are there at work. Mr. and Mrs. Halleck, of Fair Oaks visited their son Ran and amily, of this place, last Sunday. Dr. Wells, of DeMotte, was in Kniman last week. Mr. Frank Peters our esteemed merchant is quite a frequent visitor of Wheatfield. There seems to be some attraction there for him. We wonder why Mr. Leslie Sayers, of DeMotte, visits Kniman so often. Of course he knows. The weather has been so pleasant and so nice that our people had almost forgot the coming of Santa. Mr. R. Hallick brought a few bales of hay from DeMotte as the sample of the work of his new press of that place. This press is a new thing, it cuts the hay very fine, and from twenty to twenty-five tons can be pressed a day. This hay is said

to bring from two to two and a half dollars more than the same hay pressed by the old method.
