There promises to be quite an i'm
migration from this locality to Alabama
this spring. The most of them have
bought farming lands near Irvington,
about 20 miles north of Mobile, where
the elevation is high and the climate
tempered by the Gulf. Among those
who will locate there are Charlie Saun-
ders of Albion, Jens Jenson, formerly
a tenant on the Humphrey farm, and
John Hanson, who recently sold his
farm in Fulton. Gid Newman Jr., a
Cooksville boy, has made investments
somewhat nearer Mobile.
The Message From Kansas, :"
which was brought to us by ex-Gov. E.
w. Hoch, who filled the third number
of the Lecture course Wednesday even
ing, was cheerful one and full of meat
for after thought. The speaker has a
direct and forceful way Of saying things
and rapid fire delivery that rivets the
attention of his listeners. Besides the
governor is a good deal of an orator.
He has way Of dressing up his SEN
fences and of word painting that gives
polish to his lecture and surely adds to
his reputation as an entertainer. Gov.
Hoch, an Edgertou audience will be
pleased to hear you again.
Mrs. Clouden Farman, Mrs. Frank
Ash, Miss Pyre and Miss Edna Wilson

guests were greeted at the door by
Cupid in the person of Miss Ruth Far
man. The costumes ranged from the
little girls to the queens. Roll call
was responded to by stories, some
grave and some gay. After roll call
Miss Bessie Farman, as postboy, dis
tributed the messages of the good old
saint. The rest of the eveding was oc-
cupied in playing games. Dainty re-
freshments were served and all took
their several ways home wishing that

Fire on Thursday evening COM
pletely destroyed the farm residence of
E. D. McNair, three miles south of
Brodhead. McNair's mother, Mrs. Ed
McNair, with her invalid sister, were
the only occupants of the house at the
time, Mr.. McNair being in Chicago.
Mrs. McNair was awakened by the
smoke and managed to get her sister
from the burning building, but was
unable to save even her clothing. She
ran quarter of mile barefooted and
in her night attire to the home of
neighbor for help. The house was
comparatively new, having been built
about six years ago, and was modern
structure. The barns on the place were
at some distance from the residence
and did not catch fire. 1t is presumed
the fire started from defective fur
mace. The loss was about $1,000, par
TALLY insured. Mr.. McNair is stock
