After an absence of three weeks
we will try to note a few of the
many happenings which have oc-
Cured in our little village during
the holidays.
Theodore Mortified has about re-
covered from his serious accident at
the Davis City elevator
Mrs. Jennie Rabidoux and broth
er George have been visiting with

again invested in Iowa real estate.
This time he has bought DR.. Reeds
home residence on Clark street, the
consideration being $4,000. We are
not informed as to whether Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith expect to move to Davis
City to make their future home or
not.
DR.. G. P. Reed has purchased DR..
J. B. Horner's home residence on
the corner of Bridge and Clark
streets, one of the most desirable To-
cations in our city, the consideration
being $1,7OO. So our air bubble
that DR.. HOrner and family would
eventually return to our city to live
has busted and all regret it very
much. While we are glad that DR..
Reed has no intention of leaving our
city, still we are always ready to
welcome back our old friends.
Mrs. Sarah Coffin and son, of
Leon, were called to our city last
Saturday. evening by the serious i'll,
ness of her mother, Mrs. William

much improved and will soon be
all right again.
The Apostolic meetings at the
Union church are still in progress,
and the attendance continues to in
crease. Most of the time there has
been good order, with few excep-
lions. Three of their recent converts
have already left for the Bible Home
at Hot Springs. Ark, to study for
the ministry, Will Bennett and
Charles Gobel of Davis City and
Will Moore of Pleasanton. The
Apostolic people are sure reforming
Davis City and are untiring in their
efforts to bring the gospel truths be-
fore a thinking and reading world,
exhorting all to read for themselves.
May Gods blessing crown their eff
forts. ~,

We have been requested to state,

repaired the Union church at their
own expense, the electric lights were
put in by public subscription, raised
by our citizens The Apostolic
brethren also desire to return their
for the courteous treatment
they have received from all.
