GILLAM ITEMS

Health generally good. The Widow Robinson's hopse is almost completed. It makes quite an improvement to the farm. i The Widow Lane is having her house remodeled. Quite a number of young cattle have been dying off with black leg. This is rather discouraging to the farmers. The schools of Gillam are all in session, except one. They have at last found a teacher lor Cinter. Mr. F. LHunt will take charge of jt. The County Superintendent made a flying visit to the schools of Gillam, last week. We are glad to say he threw a ray of light upon the minds of the teachers, which will aid them in their future work. Come again, Mr Nelson. We understand there is to be a new school house put up at Independence, this fall. The pupils and teacher will return their warmest thanks to the trustee for the interest manifested. Mr- C- W. Faris will take charge of tee principal department of the Medaryville school, on Wednesday next. May success attend ftim. The teachers of Gillam will hold their first Institute, at Center school house, on Saturday, November 4, 1883, -

Mrs. .Sheffler returned from a pleasant visit to Kankakee, HL, last Saturday. ’ - Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ralph returned to their home in Indianapolis, last Monday, after a pleasant visit with Mrs. Ralphs parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Clark. Miss Minn ; e Bartoo, Miss Stella Griffin, Bert Blood and Fred Griffin, arrived here from Dakota last Friday, having made a trip through by wagonThey were nearly six weeks on the way, but enjoyed it immensely— - Mrs. J. F. Green, mother of Mrs. J. H. Allman and Mrs. Dr. Landon, died at the residence of the former in this place, on Sunday night. She was about eighty three years old and as she ~haff was to her, “the hour of sweet release.” The remains were taken to Ligonier, Ind., for interment. , Mrs. Asa Swartout, died in Valparaiso, Ind., Oct., 18th, a little more than nineteen years old. Many of onr citizens will remember her as Miss May Wood, as she has frequeijpywsited her Uncle, Mr. John of this place. •' ~ “Leave* bave their t rue to fall. breath. And star* to set hut all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own Oh Death.” ' The Temperance Meeting at Exchange Hall, last Saturday- n : ght was not very well attended, owing to the somewhat unfavorable condition of the weather on that evening, but those who braved the mist and darkness felt amply repaid. Mr. Ross is an entertaining .and logical speaker, and it is to be regretted that his audience was not larger. There is great reed of a temperance revival in thia place, great need of barnest temperance work, and it is to be hoped that the friends of the good cause may rally and organize their forces, ready for the fight.

Thompson & Bro. have removed the more dispensable portions of their office furniture and libraries into the newly erected part of McCoy’s building, where it will remain until the building is completed. In the meantime the firm will occupy a ro®m in Makeever’s old building, over Sear’s furniture store.
