RACCOON
Mr. J. W. Moberly left last week for Kansas City and we believe left some
girls with sad hearts.
Mr. J. M. Owen, of Columbus, Ind., who has been visiting relatives here,
returned to his home last week, accompanied by his nephew, Mr. Achilles Owen.
Mr. Robert Jones, of Bloomington, Ill., is home spending a few days with his
friends.
Mr. Leander Bowling returned home Saturday from an extended visit to Paris,
Ky.
Near Lebanon, Ky., last Tuesday, Martin Murphy took a bottle which he
supposed to be whiskey, and drank some of its contents, but it turned out to
be carbolic acid, and as a result there was a burying in Marion county next
day.
