LOUISVILLE.

The ravages of grip seems to have
somewhat abated in town and vicinity.
At one time during the past month there
were said to be thirty-seven cases in town,
and at present there are only four who are
seriously i'll. c. P. Clark has been quite
sick, but is slowly improving. DIR. Estep
has now been confined to his room for
over week and thus far not much visi-
BILE signs of improvement. Mrs. Mary
Harris is also suffering from an illness
supposed to be superinduced by the grip,
and as she is an aged lady and very frail
at best, her recovery is almost despaired
Of Mrs. Mary Haines, or as she is more
familiarly known Aunt Mary" most
estimable old lady of the east end, has
been lying for several days apparently at
the point of death. Her daughter, Mrs.
Lowry, of Guernsey county, is in atten-
dance at her bedside.
Mortimer Evans, of Mt. Pleasant, is
spending a few days with his brother
William.
Selden Haines spent two days last week
with relatives in Bellaire.
Miss Emma Hall, a pleasant young
lady of Flushing, spent Saturday and
Sunday with friends in town.
A very pleasant time was had by a
number of ladies at Mrs. Emma McFar-
lands home on Monday night, the even
ing spent in the sewing of carpet rags
and taffy making.
Eli Barnes moved the first of the week
to the vacant house on Selden Georges
farm, near town. John Mcpherson will
occupy the house recently vacated by
him, he having bought it some time since.
Otho Donner will move to Bannock, and
Mr.. Hutz will occupy his present home
These, we believe, constitute the principal
changes to take place here in the spring.
On Wednesday of last week Oliver
Berry and wife, who were married
few weeks ago, left for their home at
Fort McKavette, Texas, where Mr.. Berry,
with his two brothers, is engaged exten-
sively in the raising of sheep. Mrs. B.
resided during the past five years with
the family of c. D. Barrett, near town,
and has won for herself the reputation
of an intelligent and industrious lady,
while her husband during his short stay
made very favorable impression. Their
friends wish them unbounded success.
Miss Mary Baldwin gave pleasant little
social in their honor on the evening pre-
ceding their departure, where their i'm
mediate friends met to bid them good
bye and wish them God speed.
Joseph Loper and family were called
to Chestnut Level last week to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Loper's brothers
wife, Mrs. Wilson.
The celebration of the 25th anniversary
of the wedding of Mr.. and Mrs Clark
Michiner, which took place at their home
on Saturday last, was very enjoyable
affair. Thirty-six guests were present,
consisting of young, middle-aged and old,
who alike seemed to have abandoned
care for the time and enjoy and fully ap-
preciate all the pleasures prepared by the
genial host and hostess. The day was
spent in social converse and general
merry making, each guest doing ample
justice to the bountiful dinner which was
served at 1890. The proud and happy
appearance of the groom would have led
an onlooker to believe it his first wedding
day, while the wife wore her twenty-five
years of wifehood with such dignity
and grace that her appearance would
have done credit to much younger and
newer bride. In the evening, when the
festivities were over and the crowd dis
persed, they departed with an earnest
wish, individually expressed, that Mr. and
Mrs. Michiner, who were the instigators
of the days pleasure, might live to see
many happy returns of the day. They
received many handsome presents. NJ.
