LEE.

Correspondence of the People’s Pilot. R. T. Newman was in town Monday. The schools of this township were closed for Thanksgiving. John Clark is preparing to build a residence on his farm. M. F. Maple visited in Lee last Saturday.

Weather is colder and the snow fall gives everything the appearance of winter, Lemuel Mclntire and L. C, Warner will leave these parts for Tennesee next Monday. Charles Baughman who is teaching in this county visited tie Association at Rensselaer Friday. Miss Ola Dodd of Jasper county dismissed school the last of the week and attended the association at Rensselaer. Otis Jacks has the typhoid fever and A. B. Lewis is acting as clerk and postmaster during his illness. Mrs. Maud Noland spent Thanksgiving with relatives at Brookston, returning Sunday accompanied by her sister, Miss Mathews, who will spend a few days at Lee. There is still more tile being shipped in and hauled out to the farms near this place. Those people who bought farms here last spring do not seem to be so easily frightened about the land as some of the old settlers predicted. They are the kind of people that make the w’orld go

round.
