The Oskaloosa Times Friday March 9, 1900 Ozawkie items. The roads are awful muddy. Mrs. Geo. CORBER is sick with rheumatism. Frank NEAL made a business trip to Oskaloosa Tuesday. All the small pox patients are improving and nearly well. No new cases. E.D. METZGER was over to Oskaloosa Monday at the meeting of the county trustees. James NEWELL, having sold his interest in the livery stable to Jno. A. ROOT, has moved to the MARRINER farm for the coming season. The Deleware is on a tear this his week, running bank full of water and ice gorges--one quite close to the mill. The mill is threatened with damage if the ice continues to come. J.D. FROST of Kansas City, Mo., has bought out the barber shop of B. W. JOHNSON and will make this place his future home. We bespeak of Mr. Frost a liberal patronage and trust that he will do well.
