The protracted meetings at the school house are still in progress and much good is being accomplished. Mrs. Elmer Fisher visited Mrs. Frank Pollard Monday. Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Scheurick, of McCoysburg, spent Sunday with Mr. Wm. Ileuson and family. Mrs. Kate Toops is on the sick list. W. Dailey and J. 11. Toops were business visitors at Wolcott Wednesday. D. V. Garrison was the victim of a runaway accident luesday and as a result has three broken ribs. Mr. Edward Mayo was seen on our streets Monday. The grip seems to be prevalent in this and surrounding vicinities. “Heap dance” at Frank Nissius’ Saturday night. Also one at Ludd Clark’s “as it were” the same eve. Wm. Parr was in Lafayette last week, having some improvements made on his “ingin.” Peter Wood will soon leave our town and take up his residence on the gravel south of Rensselaer. Quite a change in the weather Monday night and Tuesday. Fine cutters are to be seen on our streets as late as io p. m. Chas. E. Fisher, one of our most progressive citizens, will have a public auction the 29th inst and in a short time thereafter will move to Champaign county, 111. Elmer and Mary Jacks visited their sister, Mrs. Homer Rogers, in Wolcott, Sunday.: Wm. Heuson moved a stack of hay purchased of Joseph Scheurick, Monday. Walter Desbrow, one very efficient janitor, is still in the ring and always on hands with a very hot fire. Certain young men who attend churchlhere and don’t know enough to behave decently ought to have a good big dose of the circuit court which will in most cases effect a cure.
