A sister Of Mrs. J. II. Coffman was
visiting her and Mrs. c. J. Norton the
past week. Here are some of the
cold weather stories as they are told
by the boys: John Bacon says that
two fat hogs belonging to Henry Smith
were frozen to death in their nest
Harry Muth says that on Thursday
the coolest day, his hogs became blood
thirsty aud fell upon one of their mates
and began to eat him up, but they
We're doomed TO disappointment for by
the time they had eaten one half the
remainder was frozen so hard that the
Oldest of them couldn't make an i'm
preston on it. Geo. Morrison, our con-
stable, says at the commencement of
the cold spell he bought some extra
fine coal oil, filled his lamp. lit it and
retired, leaving it burning. On arising
In the morning he found the Oil had
frozen and bursted the lamp and the
light was out. w. S. Samuels reports
the mercury In one of his thermOme-
tiers as low as So below zero. The boys
say that he had it too near his WHISTLES
that they froze SO hard that it affected
the mercury. OF course this latter is a
"goke.' ..... THE cold weather gave
the coal trade a boom. The Herald
reports boy at Il. B. Carr's of the reg
ulatiOn sizs... 49,. Mr.. J. Rumbel is put
ting up some very fine ice. 1t is from
10 to II inches thick .....Neal Thomp-
son received two more fine hogs last
week. He now has nine Thoroughbred
sows and two males....... Remember
the literary at Fairlawn on the 10Th
inst. Subject of the debate: ''Resolve,l,
That the American people owe more to
Lincoln for preserving the country
than to Washington for defending it,
.........-Quite an interest is being taken
In the protracted meeting at the NJ. f.
church. There have been several con.
versions and number have united
with the church. MFR. John Slem-
mer went to OSawatOmie last week. He
reports his wife improving Slowly........
Sylvester Wilcox died last Sunday and
was buried i'm the Moran cemetery

Leanna Items.

Truly the weather prophet that said,
"LOOk out for BLIZZARD" knew where
of he spoke, for it came down like the
"wolf on the fold" and 1 fear found
| many poorly prepared to withstand
its fury.......... The holidays passed off
here in the usual manner-a Christmas
tree in all the churches around us with
music, singing and literary exercises
for the little Ones......... Many farmers
report the loss of some of their young
stock during the storm. 1 don't see
how anything else can be expected by
those who have no protection for them
but wire fence........Elder Ingles has
been making quite long visit home.
He left last week to resulpe his state
work again......T community was
saddened by the death of Mrs. Buck
ner, nee Richardson, who was buried
in the cemetery at Leanna, on the 9Th
inst. Not quite year ago she was
married. She was claimed by that fell
destroyer, consumption. The be-
reaved young husband and friends
have the sympathy of all who know
them......An insurance agent from Pa
ola was in the neighborhOod last week,
but the storm prevented him from do
ing much business. He represented
the Western Home of Sioux City Iowa
| ...-.... Some of the natives here say
that there is literary for every night
in the week close enough for them to
attend, and at some of them they dis
cuss questions rather harder than the
average debater cares to wrestle with.
...".......M Miss America Blair, one of our
EmpOria students, accompanied by
Miss Gallagher, of that place, spent the
vacation at home. They returned last
Monday. 1 think it shows a good deal
of grit and zeal in a good cause when
they would face such a storm for ten
miles to reach the train..,.. ...,Some of
our young folks attended the festival
at Maple Grove last week. They re-
port good supper and plenty of fun.
