Misses Feme and Carrie Parker went to Chicago Sunday, and the latter remained there for a few days’ visit. A fine horse belonging to John Bisloskey was badly injured by getting down in the ditch. It is now improving. A nice colt belonging to Lon Colton got fastened in a crib apd in its struggles to get free broke a shoulder bone. It had to be shot Wednesday. A crowd of young people took dinper at Hildebrand’s Sunday. The afternoon and evening were: spent in playing games, and all report a fine time. Elkins’ dog still continues to live in luxury at the school house. He has eaten the dinner twice and the hungry ones are talking about an extra lock on the outer door. Earl Reed, the 5-year-old son of Wm. Reed, was kicked by a horse Monday. The skull was fractured and an operation was necessary. He is now getting along nicely. News has been received from Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Lowman at Orange, Calf. They went there a short time ago for the latter’s health, and like the climate so well that Mr. Lowman will return and make arrangements for moving there.
