Lee Items.

Master Maurice Jacks is much better. Wm.Culp was in town Monday. E. H. Wood is reported to be much better. Our supervisor is improving the roads in this vicinity. • I. N. Mathews of Brookston visited relatives at Lee last week. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jacks visited relatives at Remington Saturday and Sunday. Armand B. Lewis shipped a car load of cattle to Chicago this week. Mr. and Mrs. William Gasper of Jasper county, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Whitaker Sunday. We notice that there has been one or two car load of tile shipp-

ed to this point that are s being hauled out to some of the neighboring farms. This is a move in the right direction and we feel sure the money spent and time thus expended will notbe wasted. “Whither are we drifting?” We have no church, no Sunday school, no social gatherings of any kind; well perhaps it is all right after all. We never appreciated anything of the kind when we did have an opportunity to go; we never assisted any effort for the betterment of our fellow beings and ourselves, but let us alone, we are beginning to see where the fault lies. Perhaps in some distant day, when people have forgotten how we used to act when something for improvment was mentioned, we shall be so repentant as to be the first one to labor for the cause we have spurned.
