N E I G H B O R I N G N E W S -< Chronicled by o\ir Able Corps of Correspondents RINGWOOD. • An item box has lteen placed in the Ring- wood postoffice for the convenience of persons wishing to contribute to the Kingwood corre­ spondence column in t.ne I'laindealer. If you know of any news t hat, should be published just drop a note in thel»oxami theeorrespond- dent will collect the same Tuesday evening of each week. L, B. Peet was a Chicago visitor Wednesday. Not in the memory of the old in­ habitant or the earliest pioneer has there been a spring as dry as the pres­ ent one. Mrs. John Carey, accompanied by her daughter, Agnes, visited in Chicago last Friday. Still the people of Ringwood con­ tinue to attend the meetings carried on by Rev. Sunday at Richmond. Judge N. D. Stevens hasn't time to let the grass grow under his feet this week for he is driving Mr. Blodgett around the country, selling Osborne farm machinery. You are cordially invited to attend the teacher's institute held in the school house Saturday. This is a meet­ ing of division I, consisting of the four townships in the northeast of the county. The Ladies. Aid society will give a dinner Saturday, May 23, at the M. E. church. The teachers from the insti­ tute and everyone is cordially invited to be present at 12 o'clock. Price 25 and 15 cents. The excursion to Champaign today was not very well attended from this community owing to the fact that the farmers are very busy getting their corn planted. It seems as if the manage­ ment should have taken this into con­ sideration when the date was decided upon. The morning service at the Uni- versa'ist church next Sunday will be an Emerson service in recognition of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Ralph Waldo Emerson which occurs Monday, May 25. Selections from the writings of Emerson will be read by Mrs. Buckland and others. One may now walk the length of the village street without stumbling on ac­ count of the broken side walks, or hav­ ing their dresses torn by protruding nails. This is indeed a blessing, the best that has ever happened to Ring- wood. Much better is the ground to walk on than the old worn out walks which have been nearly all removed. We are informed that the schoolhouse will be cleaned up a little on account of the teachers' institute Saturday. The building has not been cleaned for two years. The windows are full of dust and fly specks and the rooms in general need soap and water applied freely. We presume this has not been done because the finances of the district were in such a very low state. Had the "delirium" tax been collected it piobably would have been cleaned. Miss Baldwin and her pupils cleaned up the yard Monday during intermission. It looks the best now that it has for some time. SPRING OBOVK. W. W. Lichty spent Tuesday in the city.
