BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, DEC. 7, 1900 Miss Josepha FRANKLIN, who had been here the guest of home folks since last Wednesday, went to Bloomington Sunday morning, where she lectured in the evening in the Kirkwood Avenue Christian church, on the "Idol Worship In India." From there she returned to Irvington, where she is attending school. Miss Eva STIMPSON, who had been visiting her parents at Heltonville since Thanksgiving, returned Monday morning to Indian Creek, where she is a teacher in the schools there. Leo W. SPENCER, of Georgia, was in the city Monday returning home on the evening train. Mr. SPENCER is one of the most prominent business men in the county, doing as much work as half a dozen ordinary men will do in looking after his business interest which embraces that of a farmer, saw-milling, lumber and cross tie dealing, merchant and Township Trustee of Spice Valley township, having served the people of his township in that capacity for several years and was re-elected at the November election on the Republican ticket. Joseph ARBINO, who had been working at the quarries for a number of years but of late had been running a small store at Oolitic, which was made the headquarters for his fellow country(men) who are employed in the quarries there, left Monday over the B. & O. S. W. for his old home in Italy. His daughter with her husband, whom she had married since coming to America, preceded him a short time ago to that country. It is said that ARBINO took quite a snug sum of money back with him, which he had saved from his earnings in the quarries and the profits from the trade given him by his countrymen. Little Bessie, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John CHAMBERS, is dangerously ill on North O street.
