Newland.

Miss Day Jordan, who has been attending school at Marion, came home for a visit Saturday. We understand that it has been reported around Rensselaer that our onions were all drowned out This is a mistake. We have had lots of rain but it hasn’t hurt the onion crop at all. They are clean and a good stand and we never had better prospects for a crop than we have at present The corn was damaged in low places where the water stood. Outside of the low places we can’t see as the heavy rains did any harm at all. Mr. and Mrs Gorbet, of Dwight. 111., are visiting Theodore DeMoss and family west of town. John Burris and Barney Newland were initiated into the mysteries of the Red Men Saturday night. Calahan & Gifford will give a ball in their new building, Friday, June 13th. Clarence White, of Zadoc, was a Newland visitor one day last week. John Richmond was at Rensseloer Thursday on business. Herman Ahlers, of Francesville, was a Newland caller Saturday.
