Harvey had just recovered from an injury to his foot, which kept horn on crutch es for some time, and now he has an infected hand, which is causing j him great pain, and last week his daughter .Marjory, while playing with her brother, fell and broke her collar bone.

Dennis Scott, and two friends, Dick Montgomerly and Louis Malone, were here from their camp at Ottumwa, Iowa, and spent the week end at the home of Dennis' mother, Mrs. G-uy Hopkins, and Mr. Hopkins. A ten o'clock curfew law would be a good thing in Weping Water, we believe. It would taka some of the ten-year-old children off of the streets. Not having anything else to do, they have been doing some prac ticing lately to see if they hit the street lights with stones. We wonder what their mothers think that they are doing out until midnight, as tome of them are?

Remove Landmark One of the familiar old landmarks In this vicinity has been torn down during this past week, by the United Mineral Products Co., and the lum ber salvaged will be used for other rurposes. The razing of the old boarding house, which the need Stone Quarry built to house part of their men, when they were employ ing from 150 to 200 men, and were burning lime, as well as quarrying stone, back in 1883, will change the scenery along the scenic drive in the southeast part of town. The old boarding house is said to have been a very busy place during the first few years of its existence, when it was managed by a Mr. Miles and his wife, but in 188S the company discontinued its use, and A . II. Hart and family, coming from Cordova, 111., were put in custody of the place, and made it their home for several jears, and it has many hap py memories for this family, whose children still live in our midst.

Since this family left the building has gone into decay. The porch running across the entire front of the building had rotted away, and the kitchen had been removed years ago.
