Carpenter Is Missing

Is Feared He Was Drowned At Camp Meeting.

Pray to Put Up Buildings -- Many People Come and Go -- D.F. Smith is Ill

Whitmore Lake, Aug. 2. - (Special to Daily Argus). - Miss Emma Taylor, of Ann Arbor, is here on a week's visit with her brother T. Frank Taylor.

Claud Pray, wife and daughter, of Detroit, are the guests of Mrs. Elizabeth Pray and will spend a week here.

A Mr. Carpenter, brother-in-law of Jesse Fulton, of this place, went to camp meeting at Hicks' Lake on Sunday, and has not since been seen. Fears are entertained that he may be drowned.

Walter Burnett, of Northfield, will have a fine residence built on bis farm this fall. Pray Bros. will do the work.

We are sorry to chronicle the illness of D. F. Smith who scratched bis hand - he don't [sic] know how - and the doctors fear blood poisoning has set in.

Threshing has commenced and so far the crop averages about five bushels per acre of wheat which is discouraging to the farmers.

Mrs. Gridley, of Toledo, has spent the past two months here at the Mrs. Holmes cottage and leaves tomorrow for Orchard Lake for a few days thence back to Toledo, via Detroit and Niagara Falls.

Frank N. Barker and E. C. Burns have returned from Crystal Lake at Benzonia (MI) and Mr. Barker is delighted with Benzonia and gives a glowing description of that country.
