Dr. Gale and wife, of Lacon, were visitors here the past week with Mrs. C. Handwerk, mother of Mrs. Gale.

George Bingham offers his farm in town of Norman for sale. A splendid chance to get a good farm. See notice in another column.

Geo. Putt has his delivery wagon out of the shop and it is a beauty. George always did have a faculty of keeping things up in ship-shape.

Rev. Magner returned from his visit to his old home in Indiana on Saturday and preached the Memorial sermon at the M. E. church on Sunday evening.

Mazon creek got on an awful tear last week.  The water was higher than it had been known in years, even to the knowledge of “the oldest inhabitant.”
