HERE AND THERE.

The little village of Ross was stirred
to its limits Tuesday, January IA, by
the merriment radiating from the home
of MIR. and Mrs. Bert McNutt who
were celebrating their tenth, or tin,
wedding anniversary. Tie guests
were numerous, exceeding by far the
permanent population of this popular
couples home village. Tin trinkets of
all descriptions came in noisy streams
from all directions. After an excellent
dinner Mr.. Mason, the photographer
was called from Audubon to take two
pictures, in one of which will be seen
Mr.. and Mrs. John McNutt about
whom will be grouped all of their liv-
ing children, numbering seven. In the
other will be seen the entire company,
the rarest assemblage of happy faces
that ever visited Ross. The guests
from afar were Mr. and Mrs. ''Sher"
Mundorf, MIR. and Mrs. Ben Christian,
and the James McNutt family, of Girls
void. From Atlantic came Lu Moore
and wife. The wholesome mirth of
the daytime entertainment died out as
the sun went down, very soon after
which the fascinating gaiety of a dance
sprung up. John Roberts, the surperb
! fiddler, of Extra, was retained as an es-
sential factor. A midnight oyster sup
per was the refreshing lull in the
revelry.
In the dim light of Saturday morn
ing a team dashed into Hamlin. 1t
was driven by Louis Moore, who
brought Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Cameron
in to catch the early train on which
they fastened away in response to a
message which said that Arthur's sis
ter was near deaths door at Mankato,
Kansas Their home and little child
ron were left in care of MIR. and Mrs.
Louie Moore during their absence.
Later-They were met on their way to
Kansas by the heart crushing message,
Myrtle is Dead" Death had won the
race, and the dear sister whom Arthur
was hoping to see once more alive had
gone into that long white sleep to wake
in the land of peace and love beyond
our earthly kin.
Oscar Miller owned very fine dog
which met with very sad fate a few
days ago. 1t got into mix-up with
Orrin Colee's two bull dogs. They
shredded him right there on the snow.
Oscar picked up the gasping remains
and laid them tenderIy away in a
warm corner of the barn where the
poor brute soon expired Those bull
dogs should be hung for murder in the
first degree.
The Sunday school people of the Old
Hamlin NJ. E. church elected officers for
the ensuing year last Sunday as follows:
| Supt., Samuel Atkinson Assistant, j.
G.. White; Taeas., w. L. Clark; Organ
| list, Miss Nellie Clark; Librarian, Ruth
! White. The teachers will be elected
next Sunday. Rev. G. A. Lawton,
pastor.
A Small Pox scare caused the chains
of quarantine to he drawn about the
Gill Petty home in Hamlin few days
ago. Albert is the one supposed to be
afflicted, but he is seen walking about
the yard apparently as well as ever.
Cody Petty and another gentleman
whose name we failed to learn made
successful chase north of town Tuesday,
coming in with a goodly number of
cotton tails and a very large jack.
The George Lafoy family came up
from Griswold Thursday and spent the
remainder of the week at the Marshall
McNutt and Grant Kness homes.
Jones & Weeks shelled corn for Sam
White Friday after which they crossed
the line into Greeley, where they are
still operating.
