The Remington laundry which has been closed for several weeks on account of being nnable to procure suitable help, opened again this week. An experienced man from Chicago now has charge there.

Mrs. E. A. Bartoo was dangerously ill for a couple of days last week with throat trouble. At present writing she is very much improved. The entertainment Saturday evening by the Young People’s Club of the Christian chuich for the benefit of the Sunday school was a great success both financially and as a dramatic production. Good executive ability and a fair share o! talent was displayed. Among those who deserve special notice for their characterization are Masters Steve Yeoman and Ernest Rawlings. The receipts of the evening were S4B. There was a mass temperance meeting at the M. E. church Sunday evening for the purpose of Dreparing remonstrances against the licensing of the saloons here again. Mr. Henry Walker was chosen chairman, and Charles Beal, secretary. Addresses were given by Revs. McKee, Hand ley, Carson, Rosenbarger, and othei prominent citizens.

Decoration Day was not quite up to its usual standard, owing to the absence of Daddy Vondersmith, who was confined to his home by illness, and whose zeal and devotion to the cause were sadly missed.
