By mistake the name of Mrs. Witham was used in the article about the Greisers and Chas. Witham. It should have read Mrs. Greiser. Mys. .Witham was in no manner Interested in the suit, and it was naturally offensive to.her to have her name connected with it Mrs. Witham is the daughter .of W. R. JNftWpJs. a»d _a highly respected woman, jvhose domestic misfortunes Jn no manner reflect on her. The Witham mentioned was divorced from his wife on her petition in the White circuit court, and his action in the suit of the Greisers gives him a very odious standing in this community.

FAST, CLEAN GAME; BUT WE LOST

Monticello Defeats Rensselaer at Basket Ball in One of the Nicest Contests Ever Played Here. The Rensselaer high school basketball teain was defeated Friday night In one of the very best games ever | played in this city. Onr rivals were, the Monticello boys, who have a | great reputation at the game and: whose scalp it would have done us | a lot of good to have captured, and though we almost done it, we were denied the pleasure, but our boys gave up only after a game fight and with no kick of any kind. The other i fellows were the best and that is all there was to it In the first half Rensselaer wentto the front, closing with an advan- j tage of 11 to 7. Our quintette was highly elated and it looked as though they would be able to keep the advantage, but the Monticello boys proved their better condition in the second half and scored 16 points, making them a total of 23, while our lads were able to bring their score DO higher, than 20. The game was refereed by George Hassan, the .star basketball and bare hall player from the college, and the umpiring was also done by a college student. It was absolutely fair and there was no criticism from any source. The game was well attended, and it is probable that the athletic association will close the season entirely free from debt, and possibly 1 with a little surplus in the treasury.

HANGING GROVE TOWNSHIP

The heavy rainfall that set in about 1 o’clock Sunday morning and turned into sleet before day break, i resulted in serious damage to the timber and orchards.

His condition is reported some better. The farewell party at Geo. Stalker’s was attended by some of the n ar neighbors Thursday night, and the evening was spent in music and con- ! versation.

Gaylord Parker met with quite a painful accident Saturday while trying to round-up some colts. The ground was thawing and while riding at a pretty good clip his horse slipped and fell on his right leg, severely bruising the foot, so much so that he mil be obliged to use crutches for a few days. It seems that his head had come in contact with the ground also, for he was partially unconscious for several minutes. However no bones were broken and it is thought he will recover nicely from the injury. Mrs. Lucy Burris and family have moved to Sheridan this slate, where she already has one son living. They sent' their goods by rail. George Parker has been suffering considerably the past week with a lame back and since Gaylord was injured, Chas. Peregrine has been doing their chores.

The house was beautifully decorated in purple and white, while paper cupids, hearts and other emblems of St. Valentine day were suspended in the) door way. The. first feature .in. the . entertainment was the marshmallow ring, in which Muriel Harris and Jas, Jordan won the prizes. After this red hearts, on which were the boy** names, were passed to the glr’si while white ones bearing tie girls? names were passed to the boys. The

point was to write on the beai t; what ! was thought to be in the person’* heart whose name was on the card, j The reading of these proved very\ amusing, and in some cases embarrass ing. The boys were then taken to the dining room, where an array of “millinery finery” greeted them. They Immediately fell to work, and selecting their hats, trimmed them in a ! very chic and becoming manner. They then made the grand march through. 1 the house, where the girls claimed' the hats, which they had bought thus | getting partners for supper.
