FROM DeMOTTE.

There are several cases of sickness in and near DeMotte. Joe Tyler is going to build a new dwelling house on his lots in the McDonald addition. The firm of Warne, Tyler & Lewis are building a large carpenter shop near the shoe shop. John Sigler has purchased tbe house now occupied by Mr. Hadley and intends moving in in the spring. Miss Irene Wjfilker has been hired to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Miss Eva Hilton in school No. 2. Halleck Bro’s, have purchased a new Cut Hay press, and have it about ready for business. Sam Luce and mother and Miss Lula Spencer were at the world’s fair last week. J. F. Bruner is going to build a d welling house on his farm near the canning factory, which will be occupied by Mr. H. H. Docock, a gardener from Roseland, 111. He and his brother C. Docock, have leased 76 acres, for garden purposes; the crop this next year will be divided as forlows: 14 acres of cabbage, 20 acres of potatoes, and 42 acres of tomatoes.

Mr. and Mrs. Aleck Tyler have just returned from quite an extended visit with friends and relatives in Huntington and Wabash counties. Owing to the drouth and frost the canning factory fell short of what they expected to pack this season. They have just got through labeling and boxing their tomatoes and find that they have 1,470 dozen cans, there was no corn canned this year. This has not discouraged the people however. They are making greater, preparations than ever for a big crop next year. Aunt Fan.
