JACKSONVILLE. I'LL.

Mrs. Hardin, accompanied by her
grandson, Earl, has gone to Nebras-
ka to spend the winter with Mrs.
w. Mallory, her daughter. Mr.. W.
Martin is in the city, the guest OF
Mr.. Renic Vies: Miss E. S., seems
very happy over the fact. Messrs
w. NJ. Lenard and J. Conrad, have
gone to Metropolis, to attend the
Grand Lodge Of Masons. Mr.. John
Cole of Quincy, spent Wednesday
in our city on business. There is a
certain tonsorial artist In our city,
who is unable to distinguish the
difference between carbolic acid and
gin: at least he made that mistake:
lucky his stomach was fire proof.
Mr.. Alfred Smallwood. peacefully
breathed his last, on Monday morn
ing about 5 o'clock, surrounded by
a host of his old comrades. He was
most exemplary man, strict chris
tian and a member and deacon of
Mt. Emory Baptist church. He was
also a member of Gov. Yates Post,
q. A. r. He leaves a wife and two
children to mourn his loss. Messrs
Henry Harris and F. Holly went to
St. Louis Sunday. Mr.. S B. Tur-
ner of the Capital, spent Friday in
our city, looking after his paper.
There was concert given at Beth
ell A. NJ. E. church, last Thursday
eve: your scribe was, on account OF
sickness, prevented from attending
Quite number took advantage of
cheap rates to Chicago, among them,
beng Miss M. Robertson and Mr.. A.
P. Turner. Miss Ida Chapman will
hereafter sell the Capital to all who
wish it. There was quiet we'd
ding recently, the contracting par
ties being Mr.. Henry Basket, and
Miss Mary Johnson. The Capital
wishes them success. Mr.. J. King
has gone to Jerseyville, to attend
the fair. Last sunday was quarter
ly-meeting at Bethel church: every
one turned OUT to hear the new Pre-
siding Elder, and all are loud in
their praise of him. Mr.. G. Cooper
was called to Mexico, Mo-, to attend
the funeral of his father. Mrs. NJ.
E. Patterson is the first of the sea-
son to get down with the la grippe:
she is better. Miss Vergie Honners
