Miss Clara Slagle has been spending the week with friends here around about the old home.

Roy Smith entertained his room-mate, Earl Roseberry, of Olivesburg, at the home of his parents, Saturday and Sunday.

J. C. Richards has been laid up several days from the effects of running a sharp hay hook into his leg near the knee   'Tis a painful injury.

A number of folks hereabouts have money deposited in the Imperial Savings Co. at Toledo, and are very much on the anxious seat because thereof.

Mrs. Nellie Oakes has been here from Cleveland for a couple weeks attending the bedside of her mother, Mrs. J. F. Stentz, who is now very much improved.

S. G. McAdoo has handed in his resignation as teacher in the Nova schools to take effect on or before January 25, and a good position is now waiting some good up-to date teacher.

Dr. C. B. Weedman has bought Sprinkle's farm of 28 acres adjoining his own on the west - paying $2,100.  Sprinkle rents the whole of Weedman's land and remains the coming year.

Miss Macy Murray was in the Forest City the greater part of the week as the guest of Mrs. Eunice Carr, her instructor in music.

Fred Thudium is having a new house erected on his Ruggles farm, the work being done by Al Smith, Carl Motter, E. G. Beck, and Melvin Bassett.

E. S. Richards has resigned his position with A. F. Remy & Co., at Mansfield, and in company with is wife and son Burns, is now visiting relatives in Crawford Co.

Mrs. Mentor Johnson received word last Monday that her oldest daughter, Mrs. Bertha Mann, is very ill at her home in Cleveland and chances for her recovery are rather doubtful.

The meetings at the M. E. church have been very successful thus far, as twenty souls have sought the altar of mercy.  Mrs. Lewis Smith, John Richards and Miss Faye Stentz joined the church during the week.  Services will continue both morning and evening this week.

Leon Truxell and wife, nee Miss Blanche Whitright, of North Fairfield, were here during the week calling on relatives.  The former represented Mrs. S. A. Whitright at the proceedings relative to the settlement of the Jesse Simmons estate when it was decided to offer the farm at public auction a few weeks hence.

Novaites fully indorse all the good things said about S. G. McAdoo and wife in the Press last week and all are sorry to have them leave our midst-  doubly so when we think that they will have to spend the coming days in the "poor house"  The squires wishes forbid further comments.
