Village Treasurer Bullard collected
in 800 last Monday, which was the
last day of his extended time. He is
now engaged in preparing his return
of unpaid taxes, but as he does not have

next Wednesday, those who have not
already done so can pay taxes to him
until that date and thus save the per
cent that will afterward be added.
The Coterie was highly entertained
by the third committee, on Wednesday
last, at the home of Mrs. Rose Miller
The program was exclusively English,
and the parlors were decorated with
English ivy and portraits of English
nobility. In the dining room were 80
specimens of flowers from merry Eng
land. Last, but not least, English bread
and tea was served, which made every
lady wish that England was not sep
arated from US by the turbulent ocean.

Jane Crane went to Decatur with Mrs
Margaret Hughson to ship some freight
from that place. They drove a horse
hitched to a single wagon. While at
the depot, Mrs Crane sat in the wagon
| holding the horse, while Mrs Hughsou
was attending to the shipping The
horse became frightened at a wagon
load of wheat going up the elevator
bridge and ran with Mrs. Crane. The

are severe or dangerous.
Canada was invaded last Friday even
ing by a crowd of Paw Paw Yankees,
who soon found house with the occu-
pants away from home. A window had
been left unsecured, and through this
they gained admission and soon had
made themselves at home. This pos
session was continued well into the
night and even after the owners, H. l..

for an oyster supper. Anyone knowing
the the Unity Whist club can Judge that
good time was had. BY mere coin
cidence, the evening was the wedding
anniversary of the host and hostess.
Many tokens were left, and after a
pleasant evening the invaders marched
homeward
