The funeral took place from St. John's church on Wednesday morning of this week, with interment' in the cemetery ad­ joining. Poisoned by a pill she had taken to relieve a minor trouble with which she was suffering, Mrs. Frank Miller of this place had quite a serious time one night last week.

John Smith, who resides south of this place, on the McHenry road, has been enjoying some nice strawberries of late.

One of the most enjoyable ev«rt£ ever held at the parish hall here took place last Wednesday evening, when an old time dance and harvest party was the attraction. . The event proved a big success from every point of view and the ladies of St. John's church, who had charge of the affair, are to be congratulated upon their success. Most of the dancers appeared in cos­ tumes appropriate for the occasion, while a few came with their glad rags on. The latter were quickly spied and made to pay a fine of 10 cents. Those who came in for fines paid up most willingly and took it as a good joke. AH of the old time dances were in­ dulged in. Ninety-three tickets were disposed of and the net amount denied by the ladies was $56.50. OF THIS BANK are assured that their every reasonable edfoi ly met. It will pay you to become a cu&omer of this bank. : :: . •M mm I*** Hoy Banking Co. Fremont Hoy •• - : * "-- ' • Clarence F. Hoy 11 ••as i*!i Vv 'i'W >M.t . Know!
