FAIR OAKS.

Dr. Proudly has moved into the house lately bought of R. H. Dodge. Mrs. N. A. McKay is on the sick list, likewise several others in town, but none of a serious nature. Mrs. Jack Kight is visiting relatives in Chicago for a few weeks. Mrs. H. W. Slusser has returned to Fair Oaks after visiting her sister at Surrey. The Misses O’Laughlin, of Foresman, were guests at the Cotton House last Monday evening, enroute to Valparaiso for a visit. Charles Gundy and Ike Kight both have their ice houses filled with 10 inch ice and of a good quality. Edna Brady has returned to Chicago after visiting her sister Mrs. Lina Nelson and other relatives here for a few days. Mrs. Cottingham and son Willie lately visited her mother, Mrs. A. J. Nelson and other relatives here for a few days at and near Brookston. H. W. Slusser has given up telegraphy at the depot to accept a good position at breaking on the LaCosse branch of the C. & E. I. Ry. Harry Odle has lately traded for a second hand stock of general merchandise from J. J. Fry and moved the same here and has opened it up in the Kessler room. In addition he receives new goods almost daily and reports a good business. Jessie, the 7 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ritchey, has been sick with tonsillitis, but is improving rapidly. Ross and Kate Schofield, of Michigan City, are visiting their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Fry and other relatives and friends in town. Jack Kight was at Thayer last week assisting his uncle Jose to invoice Kight Bros’, stock of goods. While coasting one evening last week Miss Effie Goff had the misfortune to slightly sprain or dislocate her left ankle in some wav, but not so badly as it might have been and she is able to get about some in an inconvenient way. No other coasting accidents have been reported. A box and peanut and candy social and musical entertainment will be held at the school house on Friday evening of this week, January 23rd, under the supervision of Prof. Hammerton. The receipts of this affair will be used to help buy hooks for the school library, so everybody should attend and help the good cause along. Don’t forget the date. R. H. Dodge, who lately bought a good farm near Caldwell, Kans., left with his family for that place last week where they expect to reside in the future. We are sorry to lose such an estimable family but our loss is Caldwell’s gain. A host of friends join in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Dodge much prosperity in their new Western home. The oyster supper given by the ladies of the M. E. church at the school house last Saturday evening was fairly well attended. Ice cream was also on the bill of fare and went like hot calces in spite of the frigid temperature of the weather. The receipts were about $16.00 to apply on the next payment of the church building, SIOO, not including the interest, which is due and will be paid this month. This leaves a balance of $l4O to clear their debt. The ladies of the church deserve much credit for the good work they have done the past two years in the way of raising money to help clear the debt, some S2OO or more we are informed. They also desire to thank the public for their liberal patronage bestowed upon them at their various suppers and socials held during this time.

January 15111 was the birthday of both Mr. and Mrs. Eib. About six o’clock some friends came in, and kept coming until about forty-five arrived. An elegant supper was served. It was a complete surprise. The hostess was so addled she discovered later in the evening she had been wearing a belt around her neck instead of a collar. A certain young man in this corner while receiving congratulations from the crowd at the party Saturday night, shook one young lady’s hand so heartily he injured her shoulder to such an extent as to cause her to fall down stairs Sunday evening, nearly dislocating her neck and receiving other injuries that may affect her understanding to such an extent that she may not be able to take part in the festivities next Saturday night.

PARR PRATTLE.

Wood is better at this writing. The dance which was given at Frank Shindler’s Saturday night was well attended. All report a good time. Say, J.
