happen d to him two weeks ago,
when a wagon load OF wheat ran over
both of bis feet, bruising them badly
and it is believed some OF the bones are
broken.
The basket social, held at the schoo
house here last week was big success
both socially and financially. The boxes.
OF which there were fifty, sold at an ave-
cage price OF $500 each and brought
in the neat little sum OF $217.5O and this
III spite OF the TACT that the night was an
extremely dark one and the roads in
very bad shape.
At the box social held eek ago the
proceeds amounted to two hundred aud
seventeen dollars and fifty cents,
($217.50.) instead OF $2O5.OO, as stated

make this correction as it brings us
ahead Of the Daniels people in the way
OF selling boxes. OF course Daniels
helped us buy the boxes and dispose OF
what they con aimed too.

will be church services at The school
