Catlin Clack.

Rev. A. Cummings occupied the pulpit of the M. E. church last Sunday evening.
Wm. Terpening, late of Gifford, Ill., goes into the Bee Hive store in Danville as a salesman.
Prof. Gilliland and family have removed to Fairmount. He is principal of the Fairmount school.
Cards announcing the marriage of Chas. Sandusky, youngest son of Harvey Sandusky of Raton, New Mexico, are out.
The officers of the Agricultural Society voted themselves a fee of $2.00 per day for each day of service during the year.
G. W. Tilton has just returned from Jacksonville, having taken his daughter Bertie to the Illinois Female College at that place.
The NEWS and Press, through their reporters Mr. Payne and Mr. Morgan, showed much enterprise in reporting the awards and picking up notes about the fair grounds last week.
Off to Kansas today: James Chandler and son and daughter Willie and Julia, John Bennet, John Chamberlain, and Mrs. J. R. Ray and son. They will be gone about four weeks.
The most enjoyable fair held at Catlin for many years has just closed. All premiums were paid in full and paid without any assistance from gamblers and bunco men. The officers for the coming year are Henry Davis, president; Henry Lloyd, vice-president; J. W. Newlon, secretary, and A. Jones, treasurer. This coterie of officers insures another successful fair, and farmers and others may be encouraged to commence early in preparing for it.
John W. Newlon had to retire from the fair before it closed, on account of having run a nail in his foot. He is now able to use it again.
