Garden Grove, Iowa

Mrs. W. T. WATERS is improving slowly. She is able to be up.

Rev. HOSIER of Derby, will preach at the M. E. church Sunday evening.

Uncle Eli DODD has been carrying his hand in a sling since severely bruising
it the other day.

A nice little girl arrived at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. WARRINGTON
Saturday night.

Rev. James BRYAN preached two very able and interesting sermons at the M. E.
church Sunday.

The young folks had a very enjoyable party at the residence of Hon. G. P.
ARNOLD Friday evening.

Mrs. S. METIER has been quite sick the past week or ten days, but we are glad
to learn that she is improving.

The sunshine yesterday and the day before made things look warm and cheerful.
We hope it will continue.

The exercises at the closing of the public school Friday are reported good.
There were quite a number of visitors present.

Mine host of the SHAW house injured his hand last week by getting it between
a rope and the manger and his horse pulling back.

Of course you will have to take your child to see the show to-day. If you
haven't any of your own, maybe you can borrow one for the occasion.

The M. E. Aid Society will meet with Mrs. Ella GIBSON and Mrs. N. M. RIDGWAY,
at the residence of the former, Friday afternoon, May 19th, 1893. All are
cordially invited.

It is thought by our fruitmen that the apples, cherries, and other small
fruits are not seriously injured. We hope they are correct, as a fruit failure is
a serious loss to this part of the country.

Rev. George WRIGHT is failing quite rapidly. Unless a change for the better
takes place within a very short time, he cannot live but a few days at most.
He suffers constantly, yet his mind is clear and he is calm, waiting the end.

We are glad to announce that Prof. DUNHAM is coming back to Garden Grove. A
class has been secured for him, and the first lesson will be given Friday
evening of this week at the M. E. church at 7:30 o'clock. Now is your opportunity
of getting a week's first class instruction in music. Come Friday evening
and join the class and you will never regret it.
