Dixboro

Miss Katie Campbell spent last Sunday with her parents. Cottage prayer meeting as usual Tuesday evening, at Aaron Campbell's. A. Campbell and daughter, of Rochester, are visiting at their cousin's, A. J. Campbell's. Mr. Root and wife, of Ypsilanti, visited at their uncle's, V. L. Shankland's, last Friday and Saturday. Rev. Mr. Laing, our pastor, who has been in Detroit the past week, on business, returned Friday evening. The Ladies' Aid Society will meet at the home of Mrs. E. Matteson Friday, Feb. 27. All are cordially invited. Grand preparations are being made for our last day of school. P. L. has discarded his cane and gone to work. The New England supper, held at the home of A. Covert, was a grand success. Money flowed freely from the arrival of his guests until their departure. Last Wednesday evening, about half past seven, our village was suddenly startled by sharp, piercing screams issuing from a back street. People, frantic with fear, rushed from their homes hatless and bonnetless. Arriving upon the scène, they were horrified to find a mediumsized man faintly struggling in the grasp of three stalwart women. Succor came none too soon, as the man was completely exhausted, owing to his rough handling. During the excitement, and it being an exceedingly dark night, all escaped without detection. If those lady reporters of the Dixboro news had some of that that so effected my eyes in their eye, with something more, there would be less reporting at the village store. Moral - Neighbors living in glass houses must not throw stones.
