High Point Items.

Several of our young people celebrated the 4th at Humeston and some went to
Davis City, but the greater part of the people spent the day either at the
meeting in MCCLEARY's grove or picnicing at Fred WOOLEY's, Mrs. MILLER's or other
places, where a few would gather together to remind each other that they live
in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Miss Bessie FINLEY has returned from her visit at Osceola and Humeston.

Miss Emma PARSONS visited with her friend, Miss Una HOLLAND a few days last
week.

Rev. Alfred KNOLL preached an excellent sermon last Sunday on personal work.
Mr. KNOLL shows himself a good thinker and an excellent preacher for the
experience he has had.

F. T. MCKIBBEN, of Humeston, came to High Point Sunday evening to remain two
or three days.

Mrs. BUFFUM, Mr. and Mrs. Ed CLARK, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen SCOTT, and Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas KONKLIN, of Garden Grove attended the meeting at MCCLEARY's grove
on the 4th.

Miss Lei? BEAVERS visited with her sister, Mrs. ? BROWN last week.

On account of a wreck on the narrow gauge railway, Miss Laura TRAUPEL failed
to get to her aunt's at Berwick Saturday and so returned home.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas KONKLIN visited Saturday night and Sunday and attended
church at High Point.

Miss Ethie DAVIS is working for Mrs. Wm. BROWN.

Miss Maude CARTWRIGHT, of Davis City, is visiting at her uncle's, W.
CARTWRIGHT.

Miss LAND is holding a protracted meeting at the KONKLIN school house.

Miss Jennie WOLVERTON is home from her visit with friends at Leon, Osceola
and Humeston.

The great event of last week was the arrival at this place of a young
stranger July 6th. He put in an appearance at the residence of Wm. BROWN, and as he
is unable to speak the English or any other language, he has not told any one
of his intentions, his future movements, nor of what nationality he is. We
suppose, however, that he will remain where he is now, stopping for a few years
at least, that he is American, a Hawkeye by nativity. We won't say anything
about his color, but will just remark that he is BROWN (Capitalized as in the
surname).
