World's Fair and stopped a few days with her brother-in-law Frank and family.
Her husband is expected in a short time.

T. J. SILVERS came down from Humeston Saturday and visited his mother and
other friends over Sunday. Tom is too good natured to become a confirmed
bachelor, hence it is necessary for him to hunt up the lucky lady.

R. D. HALL and C. D. MALLETTE started for Tallahoma, Tenn. Monday on a visit
to the former's parents as well as on a prospecting tour. They will doubtless
have a very pleasant trip as the Tennessee weather must be very nice about
this time of year.

B. F. ATEN returned home from Des Moines Friday. Ben stood a very creditable
examination before the Supreme Court and is now a full fledged
attorney-at-law. He has also received an appointment as postal clerk on the main line. He
expects to follow that for a while.

Prof. and Mrs. DUNHAM returned Friday and are giving another term of lessons
to a large and enthusiastic class of singers who are making marked
advancement. We reiterate the fact that there are no better instructors than Prof.
DUNHAM. The grand closing concert will be given Friday night.

Geo. E. JENNINGS, of Fremont, Neb. came Friday on a visit to his old home.
He says he feels homesick to move back here when he considers the wonderful
improvement int he town during the eight years he has been absent. Geo. is now a
first-class mechanic and is doing well.
