Our "hello grip reports of some very
inquisitive people on the lines of the tele-
phone company. The latest case is that
of woman who is holding the receiver
to her ear SO much that the pressure is
causing a corn to grow on that vital ex-
tremity.

CHARTER OAK
(From the Times)
The young people of Charter Oak
planned a surprise upon Miss Tressa
Ennis last Saturday evening, to show her
their appreciation of the many good
things they remember of her; and they
carried out their plans fully.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. L. Boulihan were
taken into the scheme and Miss Ennis
was induced to go to their pleasant home
in Soldier township to spend one more
night before going to her new home in
Alvoerd. That night large company of
the young people of Charter Oak took
rigs and were soon rolling northward.
The surprise was complete. Miss Ennis
was about 10 retire when noise attracted
attention and we'll. you know the rest.
Games and dainty luncheon filed the
evening and more pleasant party has
not been held this year. AT the proper
time Mrs. Houlihan drew from its hiding
place the prettiest ring in c. E. Hiett's
stock. and with few appropriate re-
marks presented It to Miss Ennis in be-
half of the company. This completed
the surprise, and the young lady coula
only respond in broken sentences.
The young people of Charter Oak are
sorry to have to part with Miss Ennis, as
her friendship is everlasting and can al
ways be depended upon. They have en-
joyed many happy hours with her and
will remember her to the end of her time.
The friends of Father Cooper outside
of his congregation met at c. E. Heitt's
jewellery store Tue-day evening and then
Mr.. Hiett called him in on false pre-
text to let the crowd surprise him. Once
inside, he was seated in the middle of the
room and DR.. Warehouse in a few well
chosen words presented him with an ele-
CANT gold-headed cane bearing the inscrip-
ticn 'Rev l.. j. Cooper from his Char
ter Oak friends. Nov, 1eo5.' Father
Cooper responded nicely aud then gen
eral handshake completed the ceremonies.
These finished, Charley Hanna was called
on to sing, which he did in style only he
can affect. The occasion was a very
pleasant one.
G. E. Hiett and A. F. Purdee returned
Tuesday from trip to central Illinois
While away Mr.. Hiett closed deal
whereby he trades his natural speci-
ments for stock of jewelry that invoices
about $1,000. Charley began boxing his
things as soon as he came home, and the
jewellery is expected here in a few days.
This collection of specimens and relics
has been admired by great many peo-
pie. and we hate to see it leave the town
1t will take long time to get another one
together as good as this one.
