Albert Farmer has a new buggy. That pleases the girls. Mr. John Pennrite was seen in this neighborhood last week. Miss Flora McGee will visit in south;west White county next week. We have a very interesting Sunday School at the Slaughter school house. Quite a number of our friends drove to Brook the 4th, and report a good time. Mr. Wm. Zea was greatly pleased at the outcome of his grain on thrashing. Mr. Worth Farmer with his brother-in-law and brother drove north Monday morning. They expect to gather huckleberries. Quite a crowd assembled to witness the baptism of seven converts, Sunday afternoon, they

were baptised in the ditch near Mr. Henson’s residence. J. H. Toops and T. W. Daley took a-flying trip to Ohio to visit “old” friends they say, but we think they are not so oM, some of them. Ml'. Oscar Bowen drove from Montgomery county Sunday tq his father-in-laws. He and Mr. Chas. Slaughter have been near Linden for two weeks. Some of the people who did not drive to Remington to celebrate the 4th met at Mr. C. G. Daleys. The most important feature of the day was ice cream and lemonade served as refreshments. A pleasant picnic dinner was served in the grove. Croquet and parlor gatnes after dinner. Incognita.
