Mrs. POTTER and Mrs. DAVIS, sisters of Mr. Robert CHAPMAN, have been visiting his family the past week.

Mrs. BOHMANN of Grant, Shawano Co, Wis. is visiting her sister Mrs. Henry JOHNSON.

Mr. Frank MAYBORNE is a heavy loser by the recent fires in the hay line. He lost ten tons of good marsh hay which will be missed the coming winter as hay will be very scarce.

Miss Ada KENT of Grand Rapids, Michigan is visiting her sister, Mrs. Robert CHAPMAN.

We have got one of the neatest I.O.G.T.s Lodge in the county in this town, and don't you say we haven't either. No roughs in it and no one has been black balled thus far..

We are sorry to note the death of Lillian ARMSTRONG who died on Tuesday last after a short illness of twenty-two hours. She was a kind and loving child and was loved by all who knew her. Deceased was 2 years and 6 months of age. Her parents have the sympathy of the community in their heart felt bereavement.

Blackberries are as thick as peddlers on pay day, and the people are taking advantage of the supply.

Mr. Frank MAYBORNE was seriously burned last week. It seems he took his team and started for a marsh where he had some hay stacked to see if the fire had got into it, or was likely to burn it, and seeing the hay was all right he started on his homeward journey, when, to his utter amazement the fire was on all sides of him. He took in the situation at once and had to make a bold dash for life or burn where he was, but he preferred the former and started and had to go pell mell for a quarter of a mile through the raging fire; he came out a little worse for hair and eye brows, but is doing nicely now.

The brilliant voice of the mosquito is not heard so much as it was in the forepart of the season, but it is heard often enough yet.

Mr. Henry JOHNSON, our town treasurer is building a new grainery and when finished it will be a fine one.

Grease your heels for the harvest dance. Harvesting is in full blast and everybody is happy. Cats are a very poor crop this year as well as hay, but fall and spring wheat is above average. Ed FINLEY and partner, Bill WILTON have returned from fishing, the following is the catch: one whopping sun fish which tipped the scales at 3/2 lbs. and 5 black bass, two louders of bony perch.

All patiently awaiting the beautiful rain.

Steve DONALD is around again, we are pleased to see.
