GILLAM ITEMS

Dear Republican:—Since our township was last represented we have been visited by quite a snow storm, which was very surprising to the farmers, especially those who were not through with their fall work. Miss Nettie Hamilton is fast recovering from an attack of Typhoid fever. Mrs. Angie Curtis, from Mich., is visiting her mother, and old friends, a* this place. Mr. J. R. Guild’s family has moved into their new house. We presume they will not forget their first Sunday spent therein, as there were only four families there to brighten the lonesome moments of that day. The spelling school at East Vernon the other night, was well attended. Frank Osborne was the champion speller. Rev. Falkner preaches at Independence Chapel every two weeks. Mr. A. Parkison went traveling over the rou-h road, last Sunday evening, up to Unclp Dennis’s. We presume there must be some attraction. Mr. C. T. Faris and wife, who were married on last Thursday, came up to the groom’a father’s Fridav. A sumptuous dinner was awaiting them. In the evening a number of the young folks gave them a pleasaut call. All were merry and gay, and seemed to enjoy themselves hugely. May they live long to enjoy a happy and peaceful life, is the wish of their many friends. Star.

Married:—Faris —Johnson:— Thursday evening, Nov. 30th, 1882, at the residence of the bride’s parents, by the Rev. Philip ftlcl)ade» Mr. C. T. Paris and Miss Allie J. Johrlson, all of Rensselaer. The ceremony was the presence of a fewyoung friends. The young couple have the best w ishes of all who know hem. They did not forget to make glad the heart (and other necessary organs) of the printers by a generous share of wedding cake. Mason—-Osborne : —On Wednesday evening, Nov. 29th, 1882, at Whitehall, Mich., by the Rev. J C. Floyd, Mr. Em nest K. Mason aed Miss Mamie Osborne, both of Whitehall, but the latter formerly of Rensselaer. From the Whitehall “Forum’’ from which our notice of the wedding is taken, it appears to have been quite a notable affair, and a long list of valuable presents furnishes good evidence of the popt larrty of the newly married couple. Mr. Mason ifi assistant postmaster in Whitehall and a steady young man, of good character and standing in the community where he lives. The beautiful and amiable Mamie Osborne is too well and too favorably remem lie red in Rcusse laer to require any eulogy at our hands. The Ladies of the Fresh Church will resume their- Socials Friday evening of this week, Fee. Bth, at the residence of Rev A-Taylor. A cordial invitation is extended to all and the remembrance of the past is a reminder that till who attend will spend a most pleasant Social evening. By order of tho Ladies.
