A. McKEEVER, Pastor. CASTORIA. Boars the Baughe Signature SANFORD PETTIBONE, the Pittsburg lawyer, had a set of single harness, two bridles, and a lap robe stolen from his barn Monday night. From the Arcadia Sunlight.

The home of Mr. Isaac Lightle was the scene of. a very pleasant dinner party Friday of last week, the occasion being the birthday of the host. There were present besides his children and their families, Mr. Murray, Mr.

Moore, Misses Rose Murray, Grace Johnson, Lottie Gresham, and Elder and Mrs. Gresham. There was an elegant spread with turkey and all the "fixin's," which Mrs. Lightle knows so well how to prepare. There were presents and good cheer, and many good wishes.

But when just before dinner was served he was ushered into the parlor and there confronted by his sister, Mrs. Rhoads, of Griggsville, whom he had not seen for four years and had no hint, either from her or his wife, that she was in the vicinity-well, he admits that he was somewhat surprised. Also we suppose he admits that a woman can keep a secret, even if she has to get another woman to help her. -Miss Harriet Jewell, who has been teaching in the second room of the Arcadia school for the last two terms of school, has resigned, and Miss Rosa Hamilton has been employed by the school board to take her place. Miss Jewell has done good service as a teacher and her scholars and many friends are loath to give her up, bat it seems that someone has a stronger pull than her Arcadia friends.
