They first went to Panama, where they resided re-sided for seven years; from there to New York and then to Europe. They visited England, France, Germany, and Italy and were in Paris when the war broke out and witnessed the moboliza-tion moboliza-tion of the French troops, after which they got away as quick as possible. Mr. Jack says that times are hard in I European countries and also in the East i owing to the war. But with all the grand sights to be seen he wouldn't give one corner of the U. S. A. for all of Europe for his use, and he and his wife are both glad to be back where peace prevails. I Quite a number of the people are complaining of colds. Howard Reid is convalescing from an attack of pneu- , monia. Mrs. Jane Neilson is still very sick, improvement being very slow in her case. I The Central Cistern company is sending send-ing off for about 24 lon3 of cement to put in their cistern as soon as it arrives. The play, "Uncle Rube" by local talent last week for the benefit of the new piano was a grand success.
