— The annual Grange picnic, held here last Saturday, did not draw the usual crowd. The attendance was good in the late afternoon, but not like the gatherings of former years. 

— In coming home from market one night last week about one o’clock, Ernest Goodfellow, when near Joseph Hilton’s residence in his Ford touring car, ran too close to the edge of a small bridge, and the car went off into the ditch, damaging the car to some extent but not injuring the occupants. Mr. Goodfellow had to walk home and in the morning, the car was towed to Kupke’s garage in New Salem to be repaired. 

— In the severe electrical storm, which reached this place on Tuesday evening, lightning destroyed the barns and contents owned by Frank Oliver and C. S. Woodworth, just a short distance out of the village. Mr. Oliver lives on his place but Mr. Woodworth is a resident of this village and at present his farm is rented to George Oliver. Fortunately most of the stock was out in pasture and they were saved but all the crops and farming utensils were destroyed. The storm was one of the worst, if not the worst, that has been in this vicinity this summer. Other villages, adjoining, had small fires but they were soon extinguished.
