Rusbvllle Recorder, August 23.
Since returning from her western
trip a week ago Sunday, Mrs. U. H.
Hodklns has gone thru a spell of
steknews that was quite severe, but
we are pleased to learn that she has
almost entirely recovered from the
same. Mrs. Hoskins had a delight
ful trip on the coast In company
with her sister, Mrs. Mabln. She
visited all the large towns from Van
Couver to Long Bench. She had In
tended to make a trip to Honolulu,
but decided to put that off till some
other time. However, the Honolulu
trip was not necessary to make tho
outing pleasant.

A. Gregory returned Wednesday
morning of last week from a Florida

lesided In Alliance having been sales
man in the F. W. Irish clothing
store. Mr. Van Nice Is so well pleas
ed with that part of the south that
he declares that he would not come
hacfk north if he could have his sal
ary duo bled by doing so. Mrs. Oreg
ory who visited In Iowa and eastern
Nebraska during Mr. Gregory's ab
