Mr. J.S. Chandler represented Allen county in the educational convention

Dr. A.S. Walker was able to walk out to church last Sunday week for the
first time since last Christmas when his leg was broken.
Mr. Robert F. Pulliam has been spoken of as a probable candidate to represent
us in the next Legislature. Now this ain't no Mulhatton lie.
Dr. W.L. Hollis and wife, from the east end of Allen, have been spending
a few days with their many friends in and around Scottville.
The store house and stock of goods of Wm. Moore, of Cedar Springs, Allen
county, was destroyed by fire last Sunday night, supposed to be the work
of an incendiary.
J.W. Ham & Bro., have just received their new spring stock of goods,

for wool, feathers and sang {??}.
Dr. J.R. Shapard is now confined to his room with rheumatism, and is not
able at this writing to move his left leg or foot in the least manner.

At a regular election held here last Saturday the following persons were

While Brother Newton was preaching at the Methodist church last Sunday,
Mr. J.S. Chandler's house was discovered to be on fire, and when the alarm
was given the congregation dismissed themselves without a benediction.
The flames were soon subdued, but not before considerable damage was done
to the building. Let this be a warning to you if you are not insured and
go at once to F.W. Spilman and take out a policy.
The following real estate and personalty belonging to the Carpenter estate
was sold at public sale here last Monday: One store house and lot to Tibbis
Carpenter for $590; one vacant lot to W.R. Shapard to $41; one vacant
lot to J.S. Carpenter for $110; one 1,000 Allen county bond with coupons
to C.T. Alexander for $516.50; one desk to J.B. Walker $2.85; one show
case O.S. Bryant $3.50.
Mr. Geo. W. Harris has purchased the store house formerly occupied by
Dick Chandler at what is know as Blankenshiptown on the Scottville and
Lafayette road, and near the State line, where he will shortly open up
a good stock of goods for the accommodation of the people of that section
of the country. We can say for him that he is one of the cleverest men
that ever sold goods at this place, and will likely build up a good trade
at his new location.
