Miss Eva Griggs, of Chicago, is visiting Mrs. Chess Casto, this week. Master O. M. Callahan, who has been visiting his sisters at Chicago for the past week, returned home Sunday. Miss Arlie Stevens, of Kankakee, 111., is visiting her sister, Mrs. Harry Gifford, this week. Thurman Smith, who has been threshing at Winamac, returned home Monday. Miss Nettie Jordan has gone to the Pan American exposition at Buffalo, where she expects to stay about a month. Miss Day Jordan went to Gibson City, 111., Wednesday, to visit Iler grandmother, Mrs. Jordan, for a couple of weeks. On last Saturday afternoon some one brought some eggs to T. M. Callahan’s grocery at Newland. Shortly after they left and when all became still, peep! peep! was heard to issue from the egg case and upon examination it was found that the eggs were not as fresh as represented, so they were transferred to a hen and Sunday morning there was a nice flufly chicken under the hen, instead of a fresh egg. The chicken is still alive and doing well. Tom says he will ex-

amine them more closeiy the next time “fresh” eggs are brought in. Be careful the next time you kiss your girl good bye, Art, and be sure the old man isn’t watching you.
