Edward HIGGINS, who had been bartender here for Edward 
BARRY, left Wednesday for Morris where he intends to work 
for his brother.

On account of the dark, rainy night the O. E. S. did not have 
as large a crowd as usual at their party last Tuesday evening, 
but those who attended had a most enjoyable time.

Miss Mae TINDER went out to J. H. PYLE's Friday afternoon and 
returned Saturday morning after attending the reception for 
Mr. and Mrs. Ole OSMON which was a surprise. About forty 
attended and all had an enjoyable time. They presented the 
bride and groom with a fine set of sterling tea spoons.

Word was received here a few days ago by the friends of 
Michael WHALEN that he is very ill at Pasadena, Cal. His 
brother Patrick, of Lisbon, started from here Monday evening 
for that long trip west to take care of his brother. Michael 
went to California some time ago for the benefit of his health.

The well drillers succeeded Tuesday in recovering their drill 
from the bottom of the village well after spending nearly a 
week at the tank. Therefore no report of progress so far as 
the depth of the well is concerned, can be made this week, but 
the drillers are mighty glad to be able to report the recovery 
of the drill.

The White Minstrel entertainment given by the young ladies of 
Minooka was a fine success. They repeated the program three 
nights instead of two as first planned on account of the large 
crowd that attended and the demand for another performance. 
The ladies realized some where near $150.00 clear. The young 
ladies intend to purchase an organ for the M. E. church with 
the proceeds.

Mrs. Robert MOORE, who died Sunday morning, Feb. 11, was buried 
in the Chapman cemetery Tuesday afternoon. Funeral services were 
held at the home at 1 o'clock. Mrs. MOORE had been a sufferer 
from rheumatism for three years and as no relief could be 
obtained her death was a welcome release. She leaves a husband 
and two sons, Samuel, of Chicago, and ____, of this place, to 
mourn her death.
