A pleasant party was given at the residence of F. W.

A host of friends were invited to a party at W. F. Verberg's last Friday evening by Misses Sallie Davis, Mollie Brolley and Mrs. Dickerson, and at the appointed time the parlors were crowded to their utmost. This was a pinafore party, the like of which has never ~~ well, hardly ever ~~ been witnessed in this city. The table was loaded in the most artistic style, it was a perfect bed of beautiful flowers and buds, as pretty as a picture. Much credit is due the ladies under whose supervision this party was gotten up, and the admirable manner it was conducted. Among the guests present were Miss Mollie Brolley, Sol Hecht, Miss Sallie Davis, John Reichle, Miss Sallie Brolley, Arthur Donaldson, Miss Rosa Lehigh, Tom Torpy, Miss Mary Reichle, John Davis, David Hahn and lady, Miss Fannie Hahn, Pat Dickerson and lady, Miss Shook, Frank Vawter, Miss Sallie Kyle, Henry Wrape, Miss Ida Vawter, Warren Long, Miss McLaughlin, Frank Brolley, Miss Anna Lehigh, Wm.

SCIPIO NORMAL AND REVIEW SCHOOL The Scipio Normal and Review School will be reopened on Monday next, April 19th, and continue two months. The school will open under very favorable circumstances. Since the school-men of Scipio have become so enthusiastic concerning the success of the Normal which gives them, including the public schools, more than eight months school during the year, they have sought to make the school continuous and prosperous by giving it their undivided support. The school affords teachers an excellent opportunity to review their work, and to prepare for the coming winter, as well as students to pursue regular studies. For further particulars, call or address O. F. Johnson, Principal, Scipio, Indiana. BUTLERVILLE BATCH Thomas Carney has moved onto the Cleaver farm, now owned by Mr. Rankin, of Ohio. James Craig is at home again and the indications now are that he will engage in business at this point. Mrs. Scott's school is a success. The average attendance is good and her efforts as teacher are giving good satisfaction. The ladies here informed me that they are expecting Mrs. Molloy to visit this place soon and they are making every effort to make her meeting grand success. The chair factory is running on full time now, and would run much faster if the timber could be had, Billy Hatton says: "theres go in the thing and the thing must go". The Women's Christian Temperance Union will hold a social on Friday night April 23. The place will be announced in due time. All are invited and a good time is anticipated. A great number of stalwarts went down to Vernon Saturday, some to attend the convention and other to sample the republican platform. When they returned they all looked as if they had been scooped. The concert given by the Merriam sisters at the Methodist church last Thursday night was well attended and the entertainment far exceeded any thing of the kind ever enjoyed by our people heretofore. There seems to be a little dissatisfaction in the republican camp over the nomination, but 'twill amount to nothing, our radical brethern will hold a love feast and pass the calumet around and all will be serene. Willie McLean was "monkeying" around the front end of a caboose last Thursday lost his grip, fell in front of the forward trucks and nothing but his presence of mind and grit saved him from being crushed. As it is, the hind end of his leg is all mashed up and he is now cripping around on one leg. The temperance people of your city came up here last Wednesday night and held a meeting that netted the society an increase of 47 members. They returned again Monday night and organized a Union and elected the following officers, Samuel Hambelton president, Joseph Cobb vice president, J. L. Weaver Sect'r, and Fred Owens Tr. They will hold another meeting Wednesday night. The township convention Saturday was more exciting if possible than any ever held here. The "Cope men" and the "Carney men" were at swords point; each making an effort to capture the delegates and so zealous were they of each other that they could not even select chairman except by ballot vote, that resulted in the selection of Joseph Hole over Rev. Wm. Evans, a veteran Methodist Minister who it was supposed was a "Cope man". After much sparring and surfeit of chin whacking Dr. Nelson introduced a back acting double geared resolution calculated to catch the delegation either a "comin or gawing" that T. Cope made an attempt to but failed to amend after which the motion was rushed through and a balloting for treasurer, auditor and sheriff was had, resulted as follows: For auditor, Carney 129, Cope 84; treasurer, Thompson 128, Cox 71, Graham 3, Shepherd 8, and White 2; Sheriff, Hayden 116, McIlroy 76, Reed 13, James 4 and Hill 2. On motion a committee was then appointed for the purpose and selected the following delegates Wm T. Johnson, Chas. Case, John Vanclev, J. C. Lee, H. G. Nelson, N. N. Groonis (?), G. W. Cook and James H. Neel.

You are most welcome, Louise in MI. I enjoy doing this as Jennings County is the ancestral stomping grounds <grin> of my WAUGHTEL lineage. Possibly you could give me some names and I can check what I have - just might connect <LOL> Again, Thank You, but I believe our thanks should really go to the young lady - Terri Engel in Jennings County - who photos these papers and snail mails them to me for without her we would not have this great opportunity of "finding" an elusive ancestor or a little "tidbit" of their lives.

If we can't read them why not send them directly to the individual. >

Is anyone else receiving scrambled e-mails on this list. I am getting them everyday when I read my INJENNIN-D e-mails. If they are scrambled why are they coming to all of us or am I the only one? I had two on the e-mail this morning. If we can't read them why not send them directly to the individual. I would like to be able to read all the info coming across this site. I appreciate all the work being done to research marriages, etc., by all on this list. Especially, my thanks goes to Bonita and Terry for helping me. Jeanette
