FAIR OAKS.

Barker visited relatives in Yeddo last week. A. M. Bringle and wife made a trip to Chicago this week. Mrs. Ella Rainier has been very sick for a few days. Mrs. Douglass contemplates moving bhck to Fair Oaks. Enos Moffit is lucky and is bringing in cucumbers by the load. Casey’s cucumbers are no more. They were frosted to death. Mrs. John Zellers spent Sunday with her brother near Surrey. Miss Ella Johnson, of Surrey, visited with relatives over Sunday^ It is rumored that two of Lyman Hall’s childrea have diphtheria. Mrs. R. A. Gordon, of Morgan Park, visited her pai%nts over Sunday. Mrs. J. R. Kight, of Thayer, visited a day this week with Isaac Kight. Will Blair, of Western Springs, visited C. L. Eggleston over Sunday. HaYvey Burns, of Rensselaer, visited relatives in this vicinity this week. Ed Lacon took a wagon load of pickles and musk melons to Parr Tuesday. Ed Hall and family, of Roselawn, visited a day this week with relatives here. Frank Helsel, of Biwabik, Minn., visited his brother A 1 a few days last week. Chas. Mallatt and family, of Michigan City, visited his parents over Sunday. It is reported that Frank Hooper lost 45 acres of buckwheat by the recent frost. Mrs. I. Kight and Miss Mattie McKay visited Mrs. Jose Kight at Thayer Saturday. Ray Casey and John DeWitt are now laborers on the gravel train under A 1 Moore. Quite a crowd of the young people went out to Dan Woods’ Sunday night and ate water melon. The Rev. Mrs. Fenneburst, of Evanston, visited among the M. E. people here this week.” John Marlowe and Leslie Warne, who have been in Brook for several weeks, visited here last week. We accidentally discovered Abraham Bringle digging his own potatoes and no one to help him.

There is a rumor afloat that Peter Cull will soon run a ranch and tell us what he knows about farming. Laurance Hallack went to Rensselaer Sunday evening, expecting to enter his second year of high school there. Walter McConnell will finish up his hay pressing here this week arid, go up near Shelby to work in the hay business : , A load of apples was sold oh our streets recently. They came from Samuel Williams’ orchard over in Barkley township. Abraham Broner and Jacob Zendel, of Laporte, have about completed their car load of junk and will soon ship it to the city. ==fe Over 12,000 bushels of cucumbers have been received at the Fair Oaks pickle factory, and all the twenty large tanks have been filled except one. It may seem strange and peculiar to our supervisor that our streets have not been worked for so long. In Fair Oaks ragweeds now attract the attention of strangers and citizens by being in the streets and alleys. Sandburs are numerous and the barefooted boy no longer enjoys marble playing and no one is seen sprouting stumps or digging for ginseng. Nevertheless it is true Fair Oaks is being laid in the shade by other enterprising towns.

A Queen In Trouble.

The Shakespeare Club of New Orleans used to give amateur theatrical performances that were distinguished for the local prominence of the actors. Once a social celebrity, with a gorgeous costume, as one of the lords In waiting, had only four words to say: “The Queen has swooned.” As he stepped forward his friends applauded vociferously. Bowing his thanks, he faced the King and said In a high pitched voice, “The swoon has queened.” There was a roar of laughter, but he waited patiently and made another attempt, “The sween has cooned." Again the walls trembled and the stage manager said in a- voice which could be heard all over the house, ‘Come off, you doggoned fool!" But the ambitious amateur refused <o surrender, and in a rasping falsetto as he was assisted off the stage, ,he screamed; “The coon has sweened.” The Republican Is headquarters for fine Job printing.

He Kept the Job.

A Boston man tells this story of his office boy, whom he discharged on a Saturday evening. The lad walked Into the store Monday as though nothing had happened, whereupon the ey ployer remarked: “I thought I had discharged you?” “So you did discharge me,"*the boy replied with some Indignation. "But don’t do It again, I had a terrible time wld me mudder when I got home!”

Fixed Up the Dogs.

One of the richest typographical errors that we have ever Been and that in a publication for printers, appears in the July number of the National Printer Journalist. In describing the Forestry building, the largest ’ log house ever built, the article says: “The dogs used in the exterior of the building are being left in the rough, while those used In the Interior will have the bark removed.”
