Doctor Taylor is now visiting at William Arnolds. He will make Dexter his future home. The death of their son William is a hard blow to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. Charles R. Smith, of Scio, takes the place of Mr. Ervin in Scio mili. Mr. Ervin and family moved to Jackson. Mr. Ervin for the short time he has been in Scio has made many warm friends.

One train each way, the mail, is all that stops at this station which makes it very inconvenient for many persons traveling. The lecture at St. Josephs church, Dexter, Jan. 14, by Rev. Louis Cook, C.

The horse knows and loves a kind master. It is predicted that good sound horses, this coming spring, will bring a good sound price.
