Duncan Cestelo of Michigan purchased the farm of John Shanks southeast of town.

Uncle Steve Andrews was asking the person who borrowed his saw and sawhorse, to return the same.

Jos. Lambert proved himself the champion tomato eater of the county, having, upon a wager, eaten nine pounds of canned tomatoes with two pounds of sugar, after which he wanted to wager that he could east two sticks of dynamite and drink a pine of kerosene.

Justice Hartson was kept busy during the week. A.L. Peterson, charged with being drunk and disorderly, paid his fine; John Miller was arrested on two charges, one for stealing clothes from Milo Smith and the other for forging the name of Milo Smith to an order given by W.H. Begley. He was bound over to the term of county court. Milo Smith pled guilty and was fined for selling liquor without a license.
