GILLAM ITEMS.

Roads are getting dusty again. Prospects very flattering for a big crop of corn. The threshing machine has begun its annual buzz. The wheat and oats crop is the largest Gitlam has had for- several years. Haying is about completed, the yield is very light. Trustee Robinson went to Rensselaer on Monday, to make his annual settlement with the commissioners and county superintendent. Frank Harris is back from the west. Gerome Massey has sold his interest in the DeMotte livery barn to Ben Hardesty, of Medaryville.

Thomas Robinson and wife visited friends in San Pierre, over Sunday. Mrs. Hamilton and daughter Myrtie, of Morocco, are visiting friends in Gillam. Adam Coppess is still in a very critical condition. He has taken no nourishment except water, for three weeks. . There will be a lawn social given in McCollough’s grove, by the Epworth League, on Saturday evening, August 11,’for the benefit of the Independence church. All are invited to come and have a good time. The ground will be cleared and croquet sets furnished so everybody can enjoy themselves, after which a generous supply of ice - cream and cake will be furnished.
