GOMERS.

Seasonable weather; a trifle cold
however.
Sunday evening and Monday morn
ing. the Goth and 21st May. several
furries of snow were seen by those
who were out late and early.
Corn mostly planted last week; some
not quite through planting.
Early planted potatoes make show
above ground. No potato bugs heard
from as yet.
Cattle, especially mich cows, require
feeding, the pastures being short.
Quite a number of farmers have fed
out their hay. Some cattle have had
nothing but short pastures for weeks,
and show the effect.
Miss Hattie Spence arrived home
from Colorado little over a week ago.
She was ailing somewhat, but is now
recovered.
Chester Shepard, of Bristol, was in
Somers last week on business, stopping
at his sons, Gaylord Shepard.
Miss Jones, a relative of Mrs.
Edward Ozanne, left for Racine last
week, after pleasant visit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellsworth Gardiner,
after a weeks stay at his fathers,
went back to their home at Racine.
Last week, Saturday, George Jordan's
hired man, whilst narrowing, by some
means or other caused the team to
overturn the harrow, entangling the
horses, one falling on the teeth, making
it impossible for him to rise until the
harrow was pulled away from him,
injuring him severely, but not fatally,
it is thought. The other escaped with
slight bruises. DR.. Ed. Barnes was
called and relieved the unfortunate
animal as far as lay in his power.
Miss Addie Strong and Miss Devlin
took the train at the station for Racine
last Saturday.
Miss Ray Ozanne is expected home
from Horizon this week.
Mrs. S. s. Strong, who has been
seriously i'll, is conyalescing.
The funeral services of Mrs. Knud-
sen took place at the Methodist church
on Tuesday of last week, Rev. P.
Dougherty officiating. A large mum.
Der Of the neighbors turned out to the
funeral. 1t was a sad one in some
respects, the widowed husband being
the only mourner. She had been mar
ried only little more than ten
months, and leaves to her husbands
care a babe two weeks old. I learn
that her health has been poor for
years, having been bed-ridden for one
year at some time previous to her
departure for this country. On ac-
count of the short time, less than a
year, since her arrival, she had but lit
tie acquaintance outside of her country
folks, but those who knew her all say
a good christian woman has gone to
her rest. The entire community SYM
pathize with the husband in his be-
reavement.
The Misses Schaffer, accompanied by
one of the Miss Schnell, of Paris, went
out to decorate their fathers grave at
the Lutheran church in Paris, two
miles southwest of Kellogg's corners.
on Friday evening, the day of the tor
nado. When they saw the storm COM
ing they took refuge in an clubhouse
which was overturned, and, falling on
the Schnell girls limb, broke it and kept
her fast until one Of the others, being
outside, ran to the neighbors and got
help to relieve her from her painful
situation, the other being meanwhile
imprisoned inside, but not injured.
Services at the Methodist church as
usual next Sunday at 2:3O P. M. A
supply is expected, as Mr.. Lacy will
not probably be here.
A full house at the church yesterday
Rev. Clithero, of Racine, officiating.
