Grinnell, Dec. 31.--W. w. Sargent,
who has been confined to his house
and bed for some weeks by stomach
trouble, Is reported to be no better and
is gradually growing weaker. He Is one
Of the very old settlers Of this city,
having taken up his residence here In
1856. He is prominent member OF
the G. A. II. post here. of which he has
been chaplain for many years, and the
comrades are doing all that is possible
for them to do to give him comfort
in these days of bodily weakness.
Enoch Joy Is another old settler and
G. A. r. comrade who has been suffer-
ing for number of months from
stomach troubles. His son has been
here for some weeks. taking charge Of
the poultry business, in which Mr.. Joy
has engaged each winter for many
years. His daughter has also recently
come home to try to make her father
as comfortable as possible.
The Sons Of Veterans will have their
annual installation of officers in the
post room on Thursday evening of
this week. An invitation has been ex-
tended to the old soldiers and to the
members Of the Women's Relief Corps
to meet with them that evening, after
the installation ceremony, for a gener-
al good time, with light refreshments
afterwards.
Installation Of officers will take
place on Saturday evening of this
week at the post and corps rooms OF
both post and relief corps. each cere-
mony being open to the other and to
the Sons of Veterans. This is always
a pleasant social event to all the old
boys and girls and brings out
many a one who does not feel that he
is strong enough to come on ordinary
occasions.s
The case Of Sloan VS.. Mortland,
which has been prosecuted by Crosby
and defended by Patton in the court OF
Justice ]. F. Wilson, wherein Sloan
claimed more pay for labor performed
than Mortland was willing to admit,
was the source of much discussion
among the jury and finally ended in a
disagreement of the jury.
Grinnell has been somewhat noted
for years for the unusual number of
aged people within her limits. Death
has been making sad inroads in
this class lately, three having been
three who were over eighty, one over
ninety, who have passed away. But the
mother Of G. II. Verbeck still remains
the oldest person in the city, having
recently passed her 9th birthday. She
has retained her faculties to a remark
able degree and had on exhibition at a
recent bazaar held by the Methodist
women Of the city, some beautiful mats
for the table, made by her own hands
and very RECENTLY. She keeps much
better posted upon the affairs of the
sworld than many younger women, and
her knowledge Of political matters
would put many a voter to shame.
