Newland.

The shooting match at Lewiston Friday was not very well attended. Too wet. Several parties here this week from Illinois looking for farms. Jbhn Kmible and Charles Smith were in Chicago this week buying a stock of groceries for their new store at Gifford. Guy Beebe has rented the saloon building and will move the post office there and keep a stock of cigars, tobacco and candy. Born, to Harry Gifford and wife, on Friday, Dec. 13, a baby boy. Harry is all smiles and says one more voter for “Teddy.” The C. & W. V. must have froze up Saturday as we had no train. Reece Roby was at Rensselaer Friday on business. Charles Page’s little boy of four months died Tuesday of lung trouble and was buried at Pleasant Grove. . Frank Archer’s boy, about three weeks old, died Saturday morning of throat trouble and was taken to Wheatfield for burial.
