Hartford, Kas., where abe will spend .
month with her sister, Mn. Fred True

Horatio Hendryx returned to his
home in Kearney Friday, after visiting
for q week at the home of his aunt, Mn.
Chss Kelley.
Thursday morning the heaviest rain
of the year fell in this locality. The
fall was 60 heavy that roads were turned
into rivers, and many OF them badly
washed. Northwest Of here the fall was
heavier, the Looking Glass raised until
the water Was over the railroad
track between here and Genoa, requiring
section men to putin the best part OF the
night, and the freight in the morning
took up cinders to. repair any damage.
Right around Monroe there was little
hail, some of the gardens being cut bad
ly. This however. was over limited
area, which is fortunate. This locality
has been fortunate in getting rain this
year. but for some time was on the east
ern edge OF the moisture belt.
Owing TO the poor health OF Mr.. Gipe,
they hsve concluded to retire from the
mercantile business, and this week sold
the stock to J. e. Erskine OF Columbus.
Since coming to Monroe they have built
up splendid trade and it is still on the
increase, but indoor work began to tell
on Mr.. Gipe some time ago, and 1t BE-
came imperative that he should seek
other work. The work Of invoicing the
stock will be completed this week and
the store turned over to the now prop
rietor, who will place Chss. McWilliams
in charge. and in this he has made no
mistake, "a Charlie is one OF the best
clerks ever in Monroe. For the present
Mr.. Gipe will remsin in Monroe and take
Q much needed rest, and later he will no
doubt conclude to embark in some other
line.
About week before the Fourth John
Swisher, formerly q resident OF this
locality, met with an accident that 70
suited in his death on July 4th. At the
time of the accident he was driving
home, when, going down hill, the neck
yoke broke, and he was thrown from the
wagon on to bis head. For time his
injuries were not thought TO be fatal,
but later he took turn for the worse.
Mr.. Swisher resided in and near Monroe
for quite while, and before leaving for
near SpaldinR, was on the Webster farm,
north of town. He and the family were
we'll known in and around Monroe,
where they had many friends. Besides
his wife, Mr.. Swisher leaves three chill
dren, two sons. George and Earl. and
one daughter. Mr.. Swisher was men,
Der of the Ben Hur, holding = member
ship in the Monroe court. Funeral ser
vices were held Wednesday, several from
this locality being in attendance.
