,olA fr;a DO no aI;vn of Ia,y hoa

CAPr.-Mendots Bulletin: "Capt. VIM. Parker

paper. Capt. Parker is good newspaper man

CLARK.-Aurora Beacon: "Prof. L. Fl. Clark,
principal Of the High School, OBLIGATED as mas
ter of ceremonies at the Aurora High School
commencement, while his three bright little
daughters busted themselves by gathering in the
wealth Of beautiful floral tributes and other ele-
CANT gifts shOwered upon each of the gradu-

WEsT.-After the 4th Of July Geo. W. Sweet
and Geo. Griffith, both employees of this office,
will start for Kansas to embark in sheep raising.
Both are excellent young men. Mr.. Sweet has
been in this office for IS years continuously, los
ing only few days now and then In vacation.
1t is with deep regret we lose him. No man was
ever more faithful Always on hand In season
and out of season, never failing when needed,
his employers interest first always, thoroughly
competent workman-really 1t seems like losing
right arm to have 'the Duke" 90. We hope
he will do well IN the west No man ever de-
served more. Good luck 90 with both of them.
Overwhelming the time that w. II. Bar
nard was disabled from business his place IN the
express office here was filled by Mr. j. II. Dur.
fee, of Woodstock, Ill. During his brief resi-.
long remember him with pleasure. He goes to
Galesburg to take temporary charge of the office
there to relieve Mr. Brown, (who, by the way,
il will be remembered, was in the Office at this
place a few months when the office was first
re.opened) who in turn goes to Quincy to take
charge there during the sickness Of the manager.
Rotation in Office seems to be the order OF the
American Company. The Galesburg position
was first offered Mr.. Barnard, but he asked to be
relieved, believing he was incapacitated yet for
so responsible position.
The storm.
The usual storm, which had visited Ottawa OH
Friday and Saturday for IL weeks In succession.
