one seemed happy over the events of
the day.
Since the return OF the soldier boys,
Fred Rummler, Geo. Joslin and Royal
Palmer have remained at their homes
not feeling well enough to get out and
mingle with the boys and visit friends.
Fever is still clinging to them but good
care by mothers and physicians are
having a wonderful effect and after a
needed rest they will be we'll again but
probably never so robustas before their
enlistment. 1t has been decided to
postpone the reception which was to
have been held Friday night to later
date.
The night blooming cereus is a
flower that opens in the quiet hours Of
the night and gives out its fragrance
and exhibits its beauty after the day
| light is gone. Mrs. Z. w. Gooding has
one of these rare plants that unfolded
its buds Saturday and Sunday nights
and was the object of much admiration
Ricaby also has one that is SIX years
old and it bloomed Monday night two
large buds unfolding and giving out
fragrance that filled the room.
Arthur Corners big bay team at
tached TO the dray created quite an
excitement for short time last Fri
day by running away. They brought
up against telephone pole on Pleasant
street which stopped their mad career.
A buggy was run into and had narrow
escape from being demolished, also
several cases OF bottled beer which was
on the dray was scattered promiscuous-
ly many being broke, which caused
some old topers to greatly mourn the
waste occasioned
Alfred H. Stone, "Bob''. who for the
past eight years has been driving the
dray for Arthur Conner left his EN-.
ploy couple of weeks ago ostensibly
for the purpose OF taking in the excur-
sion to Grand Rapids intending as he
said to return the following day. Moth
ing has been heard from him since that
time but as he took most all his bag
gage along with him his friends think
he has secured a job in Chicago and is
now in that city.
The Wagner agency of the Bedding
Building q Loan Association has been
making several real estate sales re-
Gently and Mr.. Wagner is getting en-
couraged over the prospects of boom
in that line. New corners are looking
for homes and recently he made sale of
the Homer Angel house on Broas
street and also one on the North Side.
He says it is good time to purchase
before the rise in residence proper ty
takes place.
The case OF the people VS.. Bert Riker
