clark, OF Viola, called on us IueSuay |
and had their papers changed to
MERGED, CAL, for which point they |
expect to leave today. Mr.. Bonner
made prospective trip to California
last Spring. Hetakes his family this
time, and expects to make his home
there.
The pleasantest season Of all the
year is now on hand, this week has
been simply all that could be desired
for hunting, fishing, or any out door
recreation. People who are compell-
ed to stay in the house during these
bright, sunny autumn days and love-
ly moonlight nights are losing a heap
of the pleasure that makes life worth
living.
Mr.. A. j. Lance, of Davenport,
left with us a curiosity in the way of
bean. The pod is 10 inches long,
an inch and a quarter wide, and half
an inch thick the beans are as large
as medium sized marble, and pure
white. Mr.. Lance says one vine will
produce an arm full, and that they
will string and snap equal to the
smaller beans. Ae has theseed baans
for sale. .-s
"A special train came down from
Sparta as far as this place last Satur-
day evening to bring back visitors to
the fair. Including the members of
the band there were between thirty
and forty people from McMinnville
in attendance upon the fair. The fair
had large crowds on the last two days
but there was not as much stock ex-
hibited this year as heretofore. The
floral hall exhibits were also light.
DIR. Henry p. Smith, a distin-
guished citizen and prominent physi-
clan of White county, died at his
home near Doyle, last Friday morn
ing Oct. LIST. He was leading Mason
and Odd Fellow, and was buried at
Bethlehem church on Saturday by
those two fraternities, several lodges
of each order taking part in the cere-
monies. 1t is said to have been the
, largest turnout ever seen at a funeral
} in White county. p
