Carson and Miss Minnie Beaseley went to Brookston, Thursday. John Hodshire and family, of Rensselaer, spent a part of last week with his father here. Mrs. W. L. Gumm and Homer Hardy went to Indianapolis on Monday of last week to represent the Pythian Sisters and Knights of Pythias at the Grand Lodges. Leopolds are increasing their force of clerks. Miss Lulu Hawn is now to be found there.

Mrs. A. IL Witman and sons, of Minonk, 111., came Wednesday and Mr. Witman, Saturday, for a visit with relatives here. Miss Annie Beaseley, who has been visiting in the country for several weeks, has returned home. Mrs. Conrad, who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Mclntire, returned home Thursday. Miss Annie Ramsey of Hanover, Ind., came Friday to spend the summer with her brother, the doctor. Mr. James Richie, of Fowler, came over on his wheel Thursday, for a visit with his friend, J. D.

Ernest Fisher who has been at Purdue, returned home last week. J. S. Morehead and wife are making a three weeks visit in Ambia, Ind., and Western 111. Waiter Gumm has gone for a week’s vacation, and to visit his mother. Miss Carrie Mason has returned to her home in Elwood after an extended visit to her friend, Miss Belle Lally. Last .Thursday night asGeo. Johnson was returning home at midnight he discovered that McGuire’s hay barn was on fire and gave the alarm. The fire company and citizens turned out in force, but though everyone worked with a will it was impossible to save either the barn or its contents. We understand the loss will amount to $4,000. As there was only a small insurance, this loss will fall very heavy on Mr . McGuire. It was fortunate for the rest of the street that there was no wind blowing, or it would have been hard to save the ad joining houses.
