No Grease for Him.

“When Greece her knees —Greece -her-knees —Greece her knees.” .stammered an embarrased school boy, forgetting the next line of his recitation. '•There is no occasion to grease any-, body's knees,’’ shouted his teacher. “Go and study your piece.’ Neither Fs there oceasion’to grease your hair, Parker's Hair Bahath /i’ all the dressings on want- Restore? the original ■ gloss and ci.lor to gray or TndeiT naif.

Bro. R. O. "Willis, editor of The Ldwell Local News, favored use with a very pleasant call, Monday afternoon. His own indisposition, together with the fact that his mother, at Waveland, Ind., was in a precarious condition, and likely to require his attendance at aiiy time, caused Mr. Web’stei* to discontinue the meetings at tha M. E., church, last Sunday evening- During the meetings there were nine • conversions, and eight accessions to the church; some by letter, and some on probation. ' ■ ■' ■— ■» A Sleighing Party.—“—Two sleigh loads of Rensselaer people drove out to Dll’. Will Brown’s residence, north of town, Monday evening and spent sevei al hours in feasting and social intercourse. The party was composed of the following named ladies and gentlemen: Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Honan, Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Learning, Misses Della and Arilla Cotton, Lola Moss, Lizzie Purcupile, Rosa Eaker, and Ollie Alter; and Messers. R. B. Patton, Keasey, Murray, Vai Seib, and T. J. Farden.

Belated Trains.—On Saturday morning a heavy freight train got stuck in trying to go up a heavy grade at Cedar Lake and the engine of another tram was sent from Lowell to help push the train lip the hill, but run into and wrecked the caboose of the train it was endeavoring to assist. The accident obstructed. the track to such rd extent that the morn ing train, south, due here at 10:36 was foiir or five hours late. The Monday, evening train, south, due here at 10:3$ p. m,; got snowed up somewhere between Lowell and Dyer and did not reach this place until 7 o’clock Tuesday morning. The Rev. J. W. Bartlett, of the Protestant . Methodist church, mentioned lately in this paper, in connection with the remarkable revival in Barkley township, called upon us Monday, as he was passing through town on hia way from Jordan tp., where he liad been: attending the second quarterly meeting of the Uqion class, to Center schbo} bouse, in Barkley townsliip, where a successful revival is now in progress. - Mr. Bartlett reports that the quarterly meeting was all that could have been desired. On Sundny evening tfie Rev. S. S. Bloomer preaclicd an eloquent sermon, after which four accessions were received into the church. In this connection we take occasion to say that the statement made in this paper, two weeks ago, to the effect, that Mr. Bartlett was the organizer of Union class, was an error. He has done much in building up and strengthening the class, but was not the original Oigamzer.
