Special Correspondence.
The first indication of spring came upon us unawares last Sunday in the
person of a weary, wondering (sic--wandering) hobo who spent the afternoon
roasting shins beside the fire at the depot. In the evening he went on a
foraging expedition which resulted disastrously to Rev. Empey's larder and
also to the milk which should have graced our good friend, Ira Moore's table
the next morning. It is stated also that he appropriated some soap from the
store, but up to the present writing it has not been recorded that he was
guilty of using any of it.
Mrs. Jessie Van Person, of Maurice, visited with Mrs. Miles Kennedy on

Prof. Johnson representing the children's home in Des Moines, was in
town Monday and succeeded in organizing an auxiliary to that benevolent
cause in Seney. The local officers appointed are: President: C. J. Zehr;
secretary, Mrs. C. V. Carver; treasurer, Mrs. A. M. Cutland. The object of
this society is truly a beneficient one and deserves the hearty co-operation
of everyone.
Grandma Kennedy is reported quite sick at the home of her son, Miles.
Twelve of our enthusiastic Woodmen went to Maurice last Tuesday night
upon a special invitation from that camp, to witness the initiation ceremony
as they work it. They say it was difficult to tell who had the best time,
the festive goat who bore the burden of five candidates or John Emery, who
was there in all his glory. The boys speak very highly of their
entertainment while there and express a desire to pay them back in their own
coin at no distant date.
Hilton Collins and Robbie Rodolph made a trip to O'Leary Monday and
visited with the family of Will Collins.

at the old stand.
The W. C. T. U. held a very interesting meeting at the home of Mrs. C.
J. Zehr last Wednesday afternoon. This society is fast gaining ground and

already been done by their united effort for the suppression of wrong and
the encouraging of that which is right and noble in man. May their good
work go on.

here for sale.
