In our mention last week of the
teachers who gave the bobbing party

pupils, concerning which we were in
formed by little fellow of the party,
we failed to give Miss Pratt, the first
grade teachers name, as one Of the
pleasant chapelen of the mer-
ry crowd. Our friend evidently
confined his report to the bob in which

Last week Tuesday evening at the

Miss Fishel went to Waterloo some two
weeks ago on a visit and the wedding
ceremonies were performed there
during her stay. Mrs. Dewey has been
reared from childhood in this county
and has wide circle of friends who
bespeak for her many womanlike quail
ties. She will be a help-mste to her
husband and her husband is to be con-

| The grocery peddlers representing
Chicago wholesale houses have been
making their annual roundup through
this county. They made their deliveries
last week, and now there is the usual
amount of kicking, but to no purpose,

money. We venture that every purchas-
er could have duplicated his order at
the grocery store in Independence for
less money than he paid the peddlers,
and had the advantage of dealing with
responsible home merchants, to whom
he could have returned his goods If not
as represented. Will people ever learn
that it pays to patronize home mer-
chants ?-Conservative.
