Correspondence to People’s Pilot. Miss Sallie Rowen is on the sick list attended by Dr. V. Loughridge. Winfred Tullens has set his big hen with GOO eggs and expects that many chickens by March 2d, ie., counting the chickens before they are hatched. Old time quiltings and rag sewings have once more made their appearance. Mrs. J. Hoyes gave a rag sewing Wednesday which resulted in starting the ball rolling and by 2 p. m. twenty were rolling. Mrs. D. H. Yeoman made two quilting bees last week, which resulted in a clean sweep of two quilts. The male portion amusing themseives with crokinole. A musical entertainment held at the home of Simon Kenton Saturday night was enjoyed by all present to the utmost. Grandma Zard is making a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Marion Kenton. We are sorry to loose Richard Grow from our midst but our loss is Rensselaer's gain.

Elmer Kenton will soon move to the widow Hoyes' farm. Vic Webb of Lafayette paid G. M. Wilcox a short visit while enroute to see his parents, who reside in Walker township. George Andrus is at home at present. Came home he says to rest, but has so much to do that he doesn’t want to do anything. Mr. Bloher has moved on D. B. Nowels’ farm one and a half miles north-east of Surrey. K
