Prof. F.M. PHILLIPS left yesterday for Cedar Rapids to take in the Northeastern Iowa Teachers' association. We recommended him to hear Billy SUNDAY who is at present conducting revival meeting there, so in case Prof. don't get home on time it may be known what has happened to him.
C.F. CHAMBERS received word Monday from Congressman G.N. HAUGEN that Mr. HAUGEN had decided to recommend the appointment of Mr. CHAMBERS as postmaster at West Union. The resignation of Postmaster T.L. GREEN has been sent in, to take effect as soon as his successor is qualified. It is thought that Mr. CHAMBERS should have his commission and be ready to take charge of the office within about ten days. The office pays $1900.
It was rumored that Mrs. Harvey CLARK had suffered a stoke of paralysis, but this is a mistake. Sometime ago she got a severe fall from which she has not yet fully recovered.
William DUNDEE was struck on the top of the nose by a piece of timber that fell from the top of his windmill tower one day last week that nearly severed that member from his face. Dr. SCHMIDT was sent for and he sewed it on again, and William will soon be about as usual.
Potato digging seems to be the leading rural out-door sport at present. Thus far we have not heard of any phenomenally large yields, rather the reverse. Yet the neighbors gathered together at Christ WINTRICH's the other day and dug about two hundred sacks for him.
Frank NAGEL, son of Julius NAGEL of Franklin township, has rented the Warren OWEN farm and will occupy it during the coming year. Frank is a nice young man only for one thing, he thinks nothing like a BENDER. But a dose of matrimony will cure him of that.
Frank LAWSON met with a severe accident Monday morning while helping Arthur BEHRENS load hogs. He fell off the wagon wheel on to the tines of a fork, which entered his body, making a desperate wound. From last reports he is doing as well as could be expected.
