After painful illness of several
weeks, Mrs. William Lyle died last

Wednesday evening" Lynn Ocobock
jumped from wagon at the barn OF
Ocobock Bros, to unhitch the team.
He struck on plank near the pump,
which was wet, and he slipped and fell,
dislocating his shoulder. He was taken
home and DR.. Hoyt was summoned to
reduce the dislocation. The injury was
a painful one and will probably lay
Lynn up for some time.
The heavy rain storm of last week
Friday night put an end to the long
continued drouth in this locality, and
our farmer friends look better natured
than before the rain. According to the
rain gauge, 81 inches of water fell.
Late potatoes and some pieces of corn
will be much benefited, fall feed will
now come on and the ground can be
plowed and fall seeding done.
Friday afternoon, large load of
young people went for hay.rack ride
TO Lake Park. The storm caught them
on the return trip, and one side of the
rack gave way, letting half the load fall
to the ground. Miss Cleo Stevens was
the only one much injured. Her
shoulder was severely wrencbed, and
she was under the doctors care for sew
eral days. The party arrived home
thoroughly drenched.
You are not as handsome a man as
you were when you courted your wife
not so well dressed. She probably
loves you better to-day than she did
then, in spite of your shabby appear
ance, but what nice compliment it
would be to her if you bought new
suit of "H. s. Il NJ" clothes at the Long
Brick Store, and tried to "spruce up"
Bit Women don't say much about
these things, but they think of them
just the same.

The annual school meeting will occur
: at the high school room next Monday
evening, Sept. g The usual business
of the district is TO be transacted, in
cluding the election of two trustees TO
succeed Messrs. Broughton and Free,
respectively director and treasurer of
the board. Both these gentlemen have
been valuable and conscientious Off
cials, and the NORTHERNER recon-
mends that they be their own success
sors No member of the board has so
much TO do with the well-being of
the school as the director, and since
sition he has devoted a great deal
: of time and attention to the inter-
ests of the school, and we would not
, only like to see him put back on the
board, but would like to see the board
retain him as director, as well.
