PARR PRATTLE.

Hurrah for Parr once more. Miss Hattie Adair, of Chicago Heights, is visiting friends and relatives of this place and Rose Bud. Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, S. H. Norman, has been sick for the past week with lung fever, but is better at this writing. Mrs. C. F. Gilmore, of Fair Oaks, who

has been visiting relatives of this place, returned to her home Saturday. Len McCurtain and Leslie Alter started for Valparaiso Sunday, where they expect to attend school. Rev. Byrd, of Aix, preached a fine sermon at Parr Chapel Sunday night. The box supper which was given at the school house Friday was well attended. Boxes sold well and everybody had a good time. Miss Maggie Ducharme, of Virgie, visited at T. F. Brusnahan’s Saturday and Sunday. The Odd Fellows say they had another gentleman riding the goat Saturday nicht. it being A. L. McCurtain. Misses Vemie, Myrtle and Grace Barkley of this place, attended the ball at Newland’s hall Friday night. They report a fine time only that they didn’t get home until Sunday. Say, girls, don’t dance so long next time. The people all thought A. S. was going to work Monday but he changed his mind when the other party was ready for work. Mrs. W. L. 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. P., the next time you go to see your girl please take wood or coal with you, as it don’t look well to see people out cutting wood on Sunday. Chas. Elder, who recently took the place of W. L. Wood as foreman, is very well pleased with his job.
