The organization purposes meeting
weekly on Friday evening and are ne
gotiating for the use of Weaver's Hall,
Jointly with the G. A. X. Post. which
meets on Saturday evenings. Some of
our most prominent citizens have taken
hold of the matter, pledging themselves
to the cause, and quite number of
others signiiied their intention to join at
the meeting to be held Wednesday eve
ming, March 31st, at the M. L. church.
The Bazaar and Kate Greenaway en-
tertainments, for which the ladies of
the NJ Z. church Aid Society have for
some time been preparing, will be held
in COVERS Hall next Friday evening,
and will be something unique for this
place. The sight of thirty or more
children dressed in picturesque Kate
Greenaway costumes, with their odd lit
tie tableaux, recitations, marching,
etc, will of itself be worth going long
way to see. The evening promises to
be one of pleasing social entertain
ment in every way and ought to be lib
orally patronized. The proceeds will
be used toward putting new ceiling
into the church building and otherwise
repairing the interior.
The Reading Circle met, after about
months suspension. at the residence
of Rev. Sims last Friday evening. Miss
Emma Govier read DIR. Buckley's goth
letter on European travel, and Misses
Ida Govier and Sadie Sims the second
canto of SCOTS Lady OF the Lake"
Several subjects were informally dis
cussed and the session was one of un-
usual interest. Next meeting will be
held next Monday evening at the Fen
nimore House.
Fennimore is getting to be quite a
center for the sale of agricultural mach
inery and the prospect is that the bust
ness will be pushed more vigorously
than ever this next season. Thompson
Bros. will keep their usual full supply;
Tom Loomis is getting in large as
sortment; Geo. Govier has contracted
for the Deering Binder, and Martin
Oswald will represent the Mccormick
Company.
Fred Lewis returned last Saturday
from Paoli, where be has been visiting
his parents. There is said to be some
prospect of his again locating here and
It's sincerely to be hoped he can see to
his interest to do so. Fennimore is at
present without any musical instructor
and ought to give ample encourage
ment to one so competent as Mr. Lewis
has proved himself to be. A host of
friends wonld be glad to see him settled
down here again.
Gottlieb Wehrle has had a well drilled
at his residence in the village and held
asomewhat amusing paying-off matinee
at Brechler's room the day it was fin
ished, for which the boys around the
corner feel good deal of obligation to
him.
Fred Parker has bought out Farm
hams interest in the Shrader residence
north of High School, and leased the
premises to Albert Colburn.
Lyman Powers has had handsome
new ceiling put into his store room and
otherwise improved it. What use it
will be put to has not yet been ascer-
tanned.
Miss May Sims attempted to return
to Bloomington Friday, but after get
ting as far as Lancaster, found she
could not procure hack passage on ac-
count of bad roads, and was obliged to
return and will spend another week 1T
home.
A caucus for the purpose of noplina-
ting town officers will be held Saturday
this week. If there are any aspirants
for public honors they are playing their
cards quietly; we don't hear of them.

Lon Farnham returned last Saturday
from his Chicago trip, and C. p Finn
