Iowa for a visit.
w. III. Poster and wife have re-
turned from a trip to the Pacific coast

Mr.. and Mrs. John B. Morrison,
having sold their farm and personal
property, have nothing here to de
mand constant attention through the
coming winter and will therefore take
advantage of the opportunity to visit
friends and the old home in Pennsyl

Miss Cora j. Ostroot went to
Chicago some two weeks ago, but in
some manner the item escaped this
localizer until this week. She will
spend the coming year taking post
graduate work in music at one Of the
famous Conservatives. She is a COM

of one of the Chicago Conservatives;
but is not content to stop short of the
best education in that line that can be
attained. Friends wish hera pleasant
years work and greater success than

Dick Irish returned the first of
the week from his visit to the Old
home at Rockford. He intended to
put in at least three weeks, bat about

But we do not accept because the
argument therein contained is mis-

Many of our readers in the north
part of the county will remember
Jacob Wright. who came up from
Laurens, Iowa, eight years ago and
lived over the line in Clark county
for five years, after which he return

three years of Iowa was too much for
Jacob, and Saturday of last week

son L. S. came down and helped him
unload and take the property out to
