Andrew Peterson of Greenwood was in the city Monday.  We have a pair of boots yet that Andrew made when he ran a shoe shop here 20 or 25 years ago.  He is farming now.

Mrs. Ann T. Dyer, who has been spending the summer with her daughter, Mrs. Geo. Sontag, left Monday for Norway Ridge, where she will spend the winter.  Mrs. S. accompanied her as far as Merrillan.

John A. Reddan arrived home on Monday from Washington, where he has been for two years, at work and trying how he and the far west got on together.  He looks well and is extremely glad to see the family and  friends, as all are to see him.

E. A. Crockett, wife and two little boys, Geo. Frantz, Zeke Taylor, and Lloyd Taylor and wife, of Washburn, started yesterday for Monroe, Wash., where N. P. Nelson and family are located and doing well.  We don’t like to see these good people leaving us, but wish them all success in the bouncing big west.
