John C. Crockett and wife spent a portion of last week in Alden.
Re. J. M. Tood and wife of Monroe, are spending a few days here
visiting their son, Prof. Tood, and attending the M.E Conference.
Union Thanksgiving services will be held at the Methodist church
next Thursday morning at 11 o'clock and Rev. E. Robbins will
preach the sermon.
Mrs. N. B. Newton, who has been living in the family of her
daughter, Mrs. Fred Robinson, since the death of her husband a
few weeks ago, died Sunday evening. She has been in poor health
for a number of years.
Charles Eighme has rented his farm west of town to August Ritter,
who will take possession on the first of March and then we expect
that Mr. Eighme and his family will become residents of Alden
though as yet they have not definitely settled the matter.
