J0sLM, June 24.-Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Whiteside. now of Wisconsin,,

Bulls are up announcing horse rae
ing, bicycle racing and other amuse-
ments upon Joslin's faig grounds the
Fourth Of July.
lam informed there is being or
ganized in Coe . ladies' base ball
nine. and that they are expected t.
play in public ON the Fourth.
Rev. Thompson and Rev. Wood. OF
Fort Byron were at Evangelist Lit.
ties tsoernacls aud attended services
Monday evening last. 1t was m ex.
perience meeting.
Evangelist Little aud Rev. Brock
were visiting in the neighborhocd Of
Rose Hill Tuesday last, and Wednes.
day last they met with the neigh bors
and held . prayer meeting ut n. r.
Schafer's residence.
The Northern Pacific train from
Rock Island to Clinton passed Joslip
station Wednesday morning last. L,
was composed Of Is loaded cars. A
shower of bananas, peaches and
cookies greeted the onlookers as the
train passed our depot.
Charles Martin tied his horse near
the depot Tuesday last. and on the
approach OF . train, 1t broke loose,
made dash around the depot. COLI
ded with q telegraph pole, WRECK ed
the conveyance, broke the harness,
Jumped the cowcatcher, and al
though the engine severed the lines
in two places. the horse escaped
without a scratch.
q. c. Wake had been met so often
with the question. '.How are the
crops?" when down in Moline and
Rock Island that he had got tired of
it. Consequently he decided to dis
guise himself BY dressing in his best
collars and cuffs and blacked his
boots. SO that he would not be so
easily recognized. But that only
seemed to make the matter worse
everybody then wanted to shake
hands with him and ask about the
crops. So he has decided never
again to attempt to disguise himself.
George should have put mask over
his face
The meetings at the tabern acle were
brought to o c'ose Sunday last.
There were three services during the
day. all of which we're well attended.
A great many people are inclined to
boast Of their greatness; Evangelist
Little glorities his littleness and tells
some amusing jokes upon himself
how on q railroad train, when he
presented his half fare ticket, the
conductors say: "Well, bub; 1 think
you must be over 12." Mr.. Little's
organist is IA and he is the taller of
the two, although the evangelist is
36. The bread breaking in the after
noon was very social and friendly
affair. The evangelist and
Rev. Brock broke bread together.
exchanged compliments, shook
hands. then passed on, and that was
a signal for all to do likewise. The
evangelist tells some affecting stories,
how whole families and sometimes
neighbors. who have not spoken to
each other for years, have thus made
it up to be friends again. and forget
their old grudge and little unplea.-
antness. 1t was surely a very pleas
ant gathering, was richly enjoyed,
and will be long remembered.
