NORTH LIBERTY ITEMS.
The weather is exceedingly dry. The
streams are low, the corn is suffering for
rain, and we are having rather more sick
ness than is common for July, though, as
yet, it is not extensive, and in many cases
not serious. 4. We still have hcalthful
degree of railroad excitement, some news
of interest reaching Us almost every day,
from "the summit" and when we sum ii
all up, the comfortable conclusion is that
North Liberty is to be O railroad town at
no very distant day. Last Thursday we
had picnic The citizens of the village
and vicinity, joined by few friends from
Sumption Prairie and Walkerton, met in
beautiful grove near the residence of J.
| n. Rupel, and spent few hours very
! pleasantly. Conversation, swinging, mu-
sic. vocal and instrument al, and very
nice dinner, were the principal items of
entertainment Miss Hattie Rupel and
Miss Libbie Mckenzie were the origina-
tors of it. They worked faithfully
throughout to make the occasion a pleas
ant one, and admirably succeeded.
