North Barkley.

Mr. Braskett has put in a stock of groceries at Laura. Everybody shooting ducks. At least they are trying to. Owen Callahan was in Rensselaer on business Saturday. Frank Parker transacted business at Rensselaer Saturday. Everett Brown and Byran Newland went to the Blue Sea to shoot ducks Sunday. Mrs. Gifford is visiting friends in Kankakee and Hersher, 111., for a couple of weeks. If you want to get “Rosy” just go up to Gifford and get a drink of “Wine of Life.” T. M. Callahan has been laid up for a week with a sore finger caused by being bruised.

James Page is very low with typhoid fever at the home of John Akers, east of town. Dr. Jones, of Medaryville, is attending him. Rick Grove’s school closed Saturday with a big dinner and quite a large programme was rendered. All had a good time and all went away thanking the teacher for her efforts to please them and in having the children so well drilled.
