Newland

A. B. Dunfee and John Richmond were in Rensselaer Saturday evening on business. Nearly everyone who went to Monon to work on the stone road came home Saturday night to stay, they say they can’t make any money at the price they pay. Mr. and Mrs. John Halladay who have been visiting Owen Callahan and family for the past two weeks, returned to their home at Chicago Mr. H. D. Pukey and son, president of the Shreded Wheat Biscuit Co., of Niagara Falls, N. ¥., visited T. M, Callahan on Thurday of last week.

Barney Newland visited A. B. Dunfee Sunday. B. J. Gifford loaded a four room two story house on the cars here and hanlded it to Gifford Station which was a pretty big undertaking. Jake and Fred Wall will move to Kentland Monday and work on a saw mill. We wish them success as they are nice boys. Two families from Lee will move here to work on the railroad. William Burns, of Valma, was a Newland visitor one day last week. Quite a number from here took dinner with I. N, Baker and family last Sunday, it being their 25th wedding anniversary. Married at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Caster of Newland, their daughter Ida, to Frank Holsir of Laura. The marniage ceremony was preformed by Rev. Chivington of Valma. The wedding was a quiet one, no one being present only the immediate relatives of both parties. We wish them a long, happy and successful life.
