KEENER ITEMS

—1'.,.--.- --..MW < ■ Elder Shortridge, is having a new house built upon his farm, in the southeastern part of the township. Joseph 1 airchild is the new Trustee, having been appointed to fill vacancy. The Deßoer boys are just finishing up their fall threshing. Their new machine is a beauty and runs like a top. Some Newton County Bee hunters have been tramping all over the dividing ridge, the past two weeks. More hunting than honey, thus far. Geo. S. Guild, having bought a farm in Gillam tp., moved on to it this week. By this change Keener loses one of her best citizens, and the best trustee she has ever had. During his term the township business has been attended to promptly, efficiency and honestly. Geo. and his estimable wife leave many warm-hearted, well-wishing friends in old Keener. 5 .» ♦
