Miss Sarah Phillips, who has been
stopping for some time with her niece,
Mrs. HI. M. Maxfeld, was taken sud
denly and alarmingly i'll last Thurs
day. She was going to Hyde Park
that day and sat with her wraps on
waiting for the team when che be-
came unconscious. The physician
was summoned who pronounced it a
shock. Miss Hattie Douglas, a nurse
from Burlington, is caring for her.
Her recovery is considered doubtful.
Venison has been quite plenty here
during the week. The first was
brought in by Mark Titus, who shot
deer weighing about $50 pounds.
TIE next was shot by George Emery
and weighed over 200. Then VIM.
Warner shot one weighing about the
same, and he also found a doe that
had been shot accidently by some
hunter. After repor ting it to the
Game Warden he dressed it and sold
the meat. The Como brothers killed
one near Dan Fletcher's place and
Sam Jones one near Hyde Park Now
that the season is closed the deer can
return to their old haunts without
further molestation and the hunters
can resume their usual avocations
and the dears at home will cease
worry for fear a chance shot intend
ed for some other deer may close the
career of their dear.
The committee for the entertain
ment course have completed their ar
rangements for the course during the
coming season, which will consist of
the following attractions Dec. 4,
Ernest Gamble Recital Company; Dec.
%, Ideal Entertainment Company !;
Jan. ID, Slayton's Jubilee Singers !;
Feb. ID. Copley Square Concert Co.,
accompanied by Bennett Springer,
magician; Mar. 4, The Schubert
Quartet. In Offering this series of en-.
tertainments to the people of John
son the committee feel safe in saying
it is the best course ever presented
here as it is also the most expensive.
Each company comes with the high
est recommendation from all parts
of the country. The Dread Literary
Club are to cooperate with the COM
mittee this year in the sale of tickets
for the course and it may be of inter-
est for the public to know that all
proceeds above the actual expenses
of the entertainments will go to swell
the library fund. So it is hoped there
will be an unusually large sale OF sea-
son tickets. 1t will be money well in
vested.
