Thursday evening of last week a

fourteen years, who resides with her
parents at Hutton's Switch, had oc-
casion to visit her father, who was
working on the farm of Mr.. Joseph
B. Davis, about two miles from her
home, and on returning missed her
way. On the return of the father
later in the evening. and not finding
his daughter, a search was instituted
and kept up during the entire night.
Friday morning the section for miles
around was aroused, and several par
ties Joined in from Oakland, a part
of whom proceeded toward the
Fichtner saw mill, and when about
half way between the mill and Hut
toms, met Mr.. Chas. Whetsell's team
bringing the girl home, all right. 1t
appears that when she left her father
to return home she took the wrong
end of the road and followed it until
she came to Mrs. Whetsel's, seven
miles distant, where she remained
all night.

which was not very painful, was not

ED. REPUBLICAN AS your cor

backward in coming forward with
his items, L thought that L would
send you a few notes of passing
events from our district occasionally.
The past week we experienced
some very disagreeable weather,
raining and showing nearly every
day. So much so that farmers had
to give up their seeding for the time
being.
The rye and wheat looks thrifty
and everything at present seems to
indicate good crops. Our farmers see
now, more than ever, the necessity
of sowing more rye and wheat, and
next fall there will be far more sown
in this district than ever before.
On last Friday there was an old
fashioned grubblng and quilting
frolic at Mr.. Jno. Friends. The men
did justice to the ''jack oaks" etc.,
and also to the good things which
Miss COrnelia had so bountifully pre-
pared, and when the shades of night
began to appear, "Old Uncle Jim,"
made his appearance with "dat dar
fiddle" and the way he played

The Band is making rapid progress
under the efficient leadership of Pro-
fessor Marbach. At the meeting on
Saturday last on motion of Mr.. A.
F. George, vote of thanks was
given Mrs. E. G. Tillson, of Deer
Park, for the kind and lady like man
ner in which she treated the band at
her residence on the 9Th inst. The
band also paid the same compliment
to their Bro. Clarence Tillson, for his
kind reception.
Little England Sunday school was
re-organized yesterday. Last years
staff of officers and teachers were re-
tanned.
We hear that our friend "Naa-
man. intends to build him a house
and take him RIB" ere long. We
wish him great success.
Mr.. c. 7. West, of Swanton, is
making great preparations to erect
first class steam grist mill at that
place. This is want long felt by
our farmers, as the nearest mill is
about 10 miles from this place.
"Charlie' says he will have the mill
all o. X. in time to grind the far
mers' grists this fall. We understand
that Mr.. Thos. Powell, of Barton, is
going to build the mill. "Tom'' is a
good workman and will do a good
job.
Some evil disposed persons in this
district have nothing else to do than
takingothe lives of dumb brutes that

Swanton, had fine bull dog pois.
oned, and on the same day some en-
issary of Satan shot Rev. William
f. Georges dog "Ponto," one of the
best watch dogs in the county. This
kind of work may be sport to the
perpetrators of it, but they had bet
ter be careful or they may commit
such despicable deeds once too often.
