manifest by the good entertainment
given to the people.

Miss Rosa Skegs, niece of of o. S.
WEIGH, is here from Nicola visiting her
uncle. Her husband has sold his paper
at that place and is expected here soon
for q visit and then they will go on to
business there, he being a man we'll UP
in this profession.
Mrs. Tom Wilson led Endeaver Sun
day night, it being her farewell as this
week they depart for Manning, their
new home, She will be missed in this
line as she has always been an active,
wide-awake, energetic worker in the
Endeavor, so it will be hard to find
one to fill the place left vacant.
Mrs. Wilson, mother of Tom, has
gone to the home of her son. Will, who
lives in Carroll county. She had in
tended to live alone in the house, re-
Gently purchased by her, but the boys
with true parental love, would not list
Ell to such a thing and she was pre-
vailed upon to give up her plan.
Monday, Daniel Lynch and work
men, from Audubon, began laying the
foundation for the new public school
house. The directors have chosen the
wall we'll and are putting in a founda-
ton that will never bother by settling
or giving away in any manner, which
is always the cheapest in the long run.
Mrs. G. E. Bertch arrived home
with the children, last Saturday, and
is improving as much as could be eX-
pected. She had a slight attack of the
typhoid fever, which the doctor told
her would have come had she remain
ed at home. Her many friends trust
soon to have her with them well and
strong again.
Last Monday night just as Mr.. and
Mrs. Patton had concluded that their
days work was ended and had all but
gone to bed, boxes and barrels were
strewn around, they heard a knock at
the door and on opening the door
Dwight stood blinking at a crowd of
faces, that so upset him, he scarcely
knew what to do, He finally recover
ed and invited them in and they had
a pleasant time. The following is the
list of those present: the Mr.. and Mrs.
J. w. Foster, M. j., Goodnow, F. G..
Hepp, Tom Scott. T.. Babcock, C. g..
Mertz, H. G. Mundt, H. Packard, and
j. Archer.
The school picnic given last Friday
at the Schrader grove was an entire
success. Six schools were represented
and no one went home grumbling as
is usually the case in an affair of this
kind. Dora Schrader and Clara Shell
ly were the instgators of the plan and
the Star school with the two schools
at Gray and Elsie Garmire and Emer-
son Shelly's school made out the list.
The baskets seemed to have some great
magic power. wherein one could call

The minds of the older ones were fer
tile in devising means of entertaining
the young folks, so that the time pass
ed quickly and pleasantly.
