Uncback to a man from Tipton, Ind., bv the name of Bates. The latter sold it again to Mr. C. A. IMrsyth. taking in ex change the latter’s Teegarden property. Quite a number from this place took in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show at Ply mouth Tuesday. The Sunday school convention in the Buffalo neighborhood last Sunday was a grand success. There was a large crowd of people present, most of whom listened attentively to the excellent speeches and splendid singing. 'The workers from other townships who were with us were Mr. Leibole, of Walkerton, who was accompanied by his family: Messrs. Noah Shupert and Dressier, of South Bend: Rev. Longbrake,of Inwood, all of whom made speeches on Sunday school

work calculated to make detjp imprest sions on the audience. We hope they will come again. Speeches were also made by Rev. R. E. Kaufman. Elder Joseph Mishler. Mrs. John Stockman and Mrs. Dr. Hamilton. The speeches were all eminently practical. One thing I must not forget to mention, viz.: the excellent basket dinner to which all did ample justice. The day was rather cool, especially in the forenoon. The meeting was held in a beautiful grove a short distance north of the Buffalo school house. William Eberly and family, of Plymouth, attended the convention, with whom your correspondent enjoyed an ex cellent dinner. We were sorry that our county President, Myron Chase, failed to attend. Mr. David Walter, president of Polk township, and Fred Monroe, the ex president of the almve township, fail ed to materialize. Mr. Shupert had attended the state Sunday school convention at Crawfords ville, and gave us a little of his experi ence there. He stated that it was the best convention ever held in the state. I was sorry to learn that Marshall coun ty was n<»t represented there. Wheat is all cut in this vicinity, but crop generally was not good, having been injured by the fly and rust. A good many people are now engaged in picking huckleberries. They seem to bv very plenty, selling as low as five cents per quart. Mr. Vincent, the harness maker, was at Olive Branch last Sunday. His wife is at her father’s in that neighborhood. Wm. Forsyth George Schaal and Schuyler McChesney are working at the carpenter trade at Mishawaka. VINFDRE-^FU.
