While descending the stairs she tripped and fell heavily, bruising her right hip and back severely and making a troublesome scalp wound. It is with deep regret that we announce the serious illness of the veteran pedagogue, Judson Chubbuck, at his home- in Gibson City. He was unable to return to his school last Wednesday, Floyd Althonse being retained as substitute teacher. The K.

J. Brown and their families. These gentlemen will soon remove from this community, the former going to phio and the latter to Minnesota. Francis E. Lindelof is laying in a good supply of "aqueous frigidity" for local use next During the week this gentleman, received from Gibson City six Car loads ot beautiful clean Ice twelve inches thick and filled the Witt ice house on the shores of Lake Sibley.

A strange feature of the incident is that as far. back as the oldest resident can remember only once before has it-been necessary to pack this house with shlpped-in ice. Old Lake Sibley is as dry as a bone. Last Sunday was a significant day in the life of our popular banker, D. Cameron, who at that time passed the thirtieth milestone on the broad boulevard of human existence.

His faithful wife with feminine cunning decoyed "Dick" to Elliott on Sunday and immediately began preparations for a "grand surprise" upon his return. At five o'clock that evening a number of the young man's intimate friends gathered in his home to partake of a bountiful birthday dinner and wish Mr. Cameron many happy, returns the day. A fairly representative number of farmers gathered at the town hall last Monday afternoon to hear the lectures of the Farmers The speak ers were Mr. Danforth of Chatsworth, on "Soil Dr.

A J. Gibbons, ot Strawn, who discussed "Diseases ot fattl. anil h.H bill ipmA of Greenfiejd, who gave an interesting talk on questions relating to domestic science. While the discussions were all highly commendable and were evidently well taken, there was prevalent a decided lack of the old-time enthusiasm of the Farmers' Institute on the part of both speakers and hearers. Last night the band boys gave a box" supper and concert at the town hall.

A large crowd was- present to enjoy the evening and to say they were successful in this Is expressing it mildly. There was something doing all the time; everybody was happy. While the boys appear to be satisfied with the attendance and the proceeds, $32.00, still we feel that the people of Sibley and this vicinity 'should show greater liberality towards the band. Almost-every town of any importance has a band in which they take great pride. Sibley once had a band of which we were justly proud.

With such a leader as Ray Cavanah and such promistfig musicians as those who now constitute this organization, why can we not produce a band that will win th laurels from all our boasted neighbors. The band boys need money for instruments, music, uniforms, etc. They are dependent upon 'the people of Sibley for support Are you helping them? Don't be a knocker be a booster. Boost for the Sibley band. Boost for Sibley.

Totting It Up. Captain Godfrey, who wrote the first book on British boxing "A Treatlsa on the Useful Science of once appeared in the king's bench aa surety for -a friend for 3,000. Although Serjeant W'illoughby, the opposing counsel, knew well that the captain was good for larger amount, he insisted on proof that he was worth, so much. Slowly the captain recited particulars of his means, and finally Willoughby sai'd there was still "not enough by sixty pounds." "Well, as to that" said the captain. "I have the note of hand of one Serjeant Wllhiughby for sixty pounds, and hope he will soon bave the honesty to pay me." There was a roar in court and the sergeant looked very foolish, especially when the presiding judge.
