Hipe, Albert and Will Lawson, were home from Detroit to spend Christmas.

The funeral services of Mrs. George Hammond, who died very suddenly Friday, Dec. 23, of apoplexy, were held at the Congregational church and were largely attended. During the services her son Milo was so prostrated by grief that he fainted and the services of Dr. Heubner were required to bring him to consciousness.

Early Saturday morning the poultry house and store room of Galford Markham was burned to the ground, together with the entire content including a large amount of poultry, mowing machine, cultivators, harrows, in fact all his farm and garden tools, incubator and brooder, and numerous other articles. The fire was caused by the upsetting of a lantern. The building was insured for $70.
