Independent Patriot
Lamoni, Iowa
July 29, 1897
HOME NEWS.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. John GRAY July 24, a boy.
James K. MOCK of Washington, D. C., came in on Tuesday's train to the home of
his brother-in-law Elwood WHITE of this vicinity.
Miss Carlie JARVIS, of Burlington, Iowa, was in Lamoni over Sunday, visiting
with her aunt, Mrs. H. A. STEBBINS, and numerous acquaintances.
Mr. TIMMONS, the agent for McCormick machinery who was sick in Lamoni for
nearly two weeks, took train Saturday for his home at Des Moines, accompanied by
his family.
Elder T. J. BELL was in town between trains Monday on a short trip from
Ridgeway, Missouri, where he has been holding meetings, to Kellerton, Iowa on
another missionary trip.
We are compelled to award to Mrs. Frank HAMMER the premium for the largest
blackberries brought to our office. Surely this is a blackberry year.
The ice cream festival given by the ladies of the M. E. Church Saturday
afternoon netted them about twenty dollars, a nice little help to their church
finances.
We are reliably informed that there is a boy at the photograph gallery, or
the home of its proprietor. It has come to stay, and is being royally
entertained.
We learn that Jay BARR and Guy RANDALL will soon begin work on a forty acre
fruit farm near Lamoni. They will aim to plant a great variety of small and
large fruit, and we hope will realize their highest hopes and brightest
expectations.
We learn from the Mt. Ayr News that Bert BADGEROW, the young son of Robert
BADGEROW of Monroe Township, was caught in the mower sickle Friday afternoon,
and may die as a result of the wounds received.
Mr. LEWIS, foreman in the telephone erection, informs us that he began the
stringing of wires Wednesday morning. It will take at least two weeks to string
the wires, and from a week to two weeks more will be needed to complete
preparations for the beginning of the actual use of the exchange.
Mrs. RICHEY requests us to say, that if those who are contemplating having
carpets woven, would bring some of them as soon as practicable, it would avoid
all coming at once and would give her a better chance to accommodate all. Make
a note of this, and remember that several days work can not be done in one,
hence, all can not get carpets wove in the same week or on the same day.
Distribute the work and give the weaver a chance.
The fire alarm sounded yesterday afternoon about 3:30. The alarm was given
by the EVANS girls, and Rob ALLEN who was the first on the ground found the
principal part of Mr. SPITZNOGGLE's barn, on the west side, consumed when he
arrived. The company did not get there in time to save any part of the structure,
but effectually prevented the spread of the fire. The structure burned was
not very valuable and was not insured. Two horses were in the barn when the
fire started. Once escaped slightly scorched, and the other was burned to
death. The animal was valued at about $60. Nobody knows the original of the fire.
Mrs. NEALE of Harrington, Kansas, arrived in Lamoni Monday for a visit with
relatives.
Mrs. THARP who was operated upon by Dr. HANSEN returned home on Tuesday last,
four weeks after the operation. She is doing real well.
A company consisting of Mr. Bert TEALE and wife, Miss Lou SMITH, Miss
SPARGUR, Miss Ada HOPKINS, Miss Lillie CONOVER, Messrs. Willie BLAIR, Harry NICHOLSON
and Dud DUDLEY, went to the Grand just north of Davis City, Tuesday to enjoy
themselves rusticating until Saturday.
Anyone finding a lap robe between the residences of Elders S. V. BAILEY and
Bishop E. L. KELLEY, please leave the same at this office.
Misses Zenia and Audie HANSEN, assembled a very large crowd of their young
associates at their home Thursday evening of last week. The lawn fairly swarmed
with the young people, and rung with their merry making. Various out-door
games were indulged in before and after the appetizing and abundant
refreshments. It was one of the largest and merriest parties we have had the pleasure of
reporting.
