SATURDAY LOCALS.

A certain well known life insurance agent, was halted at the depot this forenoon, as he was boarding the train, and persuaded to settle a board bill, at the Mbkeever House. It was supposed that he was going to Crawfordsville but he claims he was only going to Monon, to do some collecting. Well drilling for water in the southern part of Gillam township is a quite uncertain business. J. W. Turner has had three wells sunk and has not yet secured any wider. The last driller lost his drill at a depth of 145 feet and has not been able to recover it. Some wells in the near neighborhood of Mr. Turner’s farm, are about 160 feet deep. The Uncle Josh Spruceby Company gave a street parade and band performance at noon, today. It is a big company, and has two bands. One band in regulation uniforms, the otherfa Rube band in all sorts of costumes. This is headed by Uncle Josh himself, with his big carpel sack and old time “umberell.”

J. J. Montgomery received from Galesbury, 111., this forenoon, news of the death of his sister, Mrs. Flora M. Courtney. She had recently made Mr. Montgomery a several weeks’ visit, returning to Galesburg only last Sunday. She has been an invalid for many years, from rheumatism and stomach troubles. She was a widow, about 40 years old, and leaves one daughter,Jwho is married. The band concert last evening, was an unusually good number. As in addition to the excellent music furnished by our own band, it by selections by members of the Uncle Josh Spruceby band. Together they gave one of the best concerts ever given in the town. Prof. Dentinger, the new band instructor also demonstrated his eminent abilities in thatjcapacity.

B, F. Ferguson arrived home last evening from his trip to lowa. It is still dry out there, the recent rains not having extended much beyond Galesburg, 111. In the region he is mainly interested in, and where Sim Dowell’s land is? the corn is pretty good, and pastures also, and every thing else in proportion. Mr. Dowell remained a few days looking after his farm. Mr. and Mrs. French, who also went with them, have [gone on to Kingman, Kans., to visit their son and family. The body of Frank L. Phillips, is expected to arrive from New Mexico tonight. News of his death was received the same day his mother, Mrs. Harvey Phillips and brother J. R. Phillips, left for New Mexico. Every effort to intercept them by telegraph and call them back has failed, and they have, no doubt, reached the place and started back by this time. It will be several days however before they arrive. If possible the funeral will be delayed until they get back. The funeral will be here and interment made in Weston cemetery.
