D UNNVILLE and KANKAKEE.

The frost has done considerable damage to the corn in this vicinity during the past week. Miss Tillie Osborne and Mr. L. S. Gillespie are dangerously sick, Mr. and Mrs. Milton White of Clayton were visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. White. George Dunn is at home spending the summer vacation. The M. E. Church dedicated their new house of worship, last Sunday. They now have a neat, comfortable frame structure, costing something over SBOO. One that reflects great credit, not. only on the church, but on the community as well. Rev. E. P. Bennet, the pastor, deserves the highest commendation for the zeal and energy in which he pushed forward the work. The presiding Elder, Rev. Beck delivered an interesting discourse in the morning after which pledges called for to liquidate a’ debt of $340 on the church, which were promptly obtained. After the indebtedness had been provided for, the house was formally set apart as a place of worship for the M. E. church. Silly Bill.
