Ed. Register-Having been very busy fol
the last three weeks failed to come to time
with my happenings from this point.
The large frost we had last week killed
everything that was easily 'snipped." Corn
that was green soon changed its appearance.
The leaves have on their beautiful colors
and are getting ready to fly away.
Acorns are falling and we have good
crop this year. Hogs will do well for awhile.
Messrs. Thomas and G. w. Buford, who
are teaching school, spent last week at home
in way of recreation. The latter, your IL
lustrious Pine Grove correspondent, made a
flying trip to ST. Louis the first of the week,
to visit his sister that resides there, and to
| take in part of the fair. He purchased a
very fine and costly bible while in the city.
/ Quite number from this place attended
the fair and report good time in general.
Mr.. A. c. Hartman and Miss Lula NJ.
Hartman, of CIarkson, Iowa, are visiting
friends in the valley. A. c. Is telegraph OPP
orator at GARRISON and is only relieved for
few weeks, when he will return to his post.

| ton and j. .. Stephens as delegates to the
county meeting, and Elm Grove elected
William Russell and John Russell.
| Miss Daisy Lay, who is teaching in the
western part of this county, was home last
Saturday and Sunday on visit. Miss Lay
is having the best of success.
Those who attended the picnic near Gale
donia last Saturday report large attend
ance, plenty of speaking and an enjoyable
time.
Messrs Hunt and Flowers, who went to
Texas few weeks ago, inform their friends
that they like Texas splendid.
Rumor says we can report another we'd
ding ere long. Your Goodland correspond
ent told you about the other.
The following is the report for the second
month of school taught at Cedar Grove:
Number of pupils enrolled, SO; average
number pupils attending each day, nearly
II; average number days attendance by each
pupil, IL; number days taught, 90. Pupils

Thompson, James Thompson, Leslie Logan
and Willie d. Hartman.
NOlasses making is about thing of the
past. Messrs. NJ. Fitzpatrick and j. G.
Hartman had the largest crops in the valley,
the former having about 100 gallons and the
Politics is all The talk at present. The
Cleveland club is progressing at a lively rate.
More anon. j. G. II.

Our Belleview correspondent has failed to
