Wm. Washburn is in from his big farm in Jordan township and reports some marvelous effects of the present growing weather. Mr. W. is a truthful man and we can not doubt his belief in the unus. ual things he describes.

P. Wade, wife and little six-year-old son wheeled over from Morocco Sunday and visited Mrs. Wade’s father, John Culp, in Barkley township. They returned Monday. Mr. Wade is the leading barber of Morocco and is doing a nice business. He was at one time a partner of E. M. Parcels in Rensselaer and has many friends here. Mr. Wade expresses his belief in the ultimate location of the county seat at Morocco, as the north end of Newton is rapidly settling up and that place will soon be the center of population. The lecture at the Ellis opera house Tuesday evening by H. Vincent Moore, subject “Her Photograph,” was poorly patronized. Those who stayed away because of the humorous nature of Mr. Moore’s lecture certainly missed a good cure for the blues. Mr. Moore has a well modulated voice and a pleasant address, and the lecture he delivers is well calculated to catch that class of people who have a keen appreciation of the finer quality of American humor. His jokes, while not all new', have the merit of being dressed up in new garments. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Epworth League. It is quite possible that Mr. Moore would touch a more responsive chord in the hearts of his hearers if he would change his compilation of almanac witicism for more profound themes.
