Gillam Items.

Weather cool. Hey harvest. Abundance of work for all. Plenty of roasting ears. Health generally good. We are sorry to say that Mr. Querry is no better. His disease, as pronounced by the doctors in attendance, is a growing cancer on the liver. Mr. John Hanley, of Lafayetto, is at present in Gillam. . Mr. Walker and wife and Miss Katie Gracine, of Indianapolis, are visiting Mr. J. G. Hunt and in this place. The basket meeting at the chapel on last Sabbath was well attended. Among the names of those that do not reside in G. were Miss“Mell Wright, of Rensselaer; Mrs. lines and son and Miss Lier, of Monticello; Mr. John Burk and C. F. Faris, of Marion township; also Mr. George Wilcox and family. Quite a number from Barkley were in attendance, and Pulaski county was well represented. Dr. Godfrey preached two eloquent sermons. We were Ml “wonderfully” surprised last week to see a Diamond (Thomas). . Some of our young people intend going to the Normal next week. . We trust the editors will not be surprised if they me6t “Buttermilk and Greens,” “Honce,” “Brisk” and the rest of the writers. News being scarce and time limited, I will pass. Yours respectfully, Jake. July 30th, 1881.

State Room Cars.— This magnificent addition to the mass of comfortable appointments for modern railway travel, originates with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, the favorite route from East to West. These cars enable the passengers to enjoy every luxury of first-class hotels; each room being provided with washing, bathing, lohnging and sleeping facilities, and also arranged In Suites for the convenience of families or traveling parties. The best part abont it is that it costs no more than ordinary sleeping car accommodations while it secures complete privacy. If any of our readers contemplate going West they will do well to secure their tickets via THE BURLINGTON ROUTE.
