Mr. Newton Hall has rented the Smith place and intends to move his sheep and hogs there as soon as he can. We wonder why he did not take Ida with him, but never mind it’s not too late yet.

The Hall boys, better known as “Moddy and Sankey,” of Liberty township, have lost some of their sheep. These gentlemen have purchased the place known as the “Webb Smith farm.”

The “Hall brothers” have been on the sick list for the past day or two. Their sickness was caused by inhaling the steam from tobacco juice, in which they were dipping their sheep.

It is said that Mr. Hall, who lost some sheep, found his black lamb in Liberty township. Queer how sheep will stray.

Christmas passed off in a charming manner. Sheridan dispensed with the old-time tree and, in its stead, constructed a noble ship, which was heavy laden with many beautiful presents.

I do not think any Sunday school would have done a better work than ours. The committee had but seventeen dollars, yet every child in the Sunday school received a handsome book, a sack of candy, apples, etc. Norman Hall made a jolly and interesting Santa Claus. The “Christmas Anthem” by the choir was splendid. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, unless it was poor “Santa.” His coat was so short that he had to hold onto it to keep it from going over his head. He will have to get a “Mrs. Santa” to piece it for him before next Christmas.

MARRIED. On the evening of the 1st, at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. McGee, Mr. Newton Hall and Miss Ida Black declared their intention to love, cherish, obey, etc. Thus it is the boys and girls leave us and settle down to the earnest business of life.

Mr. Newton Hall and wife were present at our literary Friday night. A grand Indian dance was given. Mr. Levi Fluke, “as it is reported,” was so scared that he jumped out of the window and had the horses hitched up ready to flee before he realized the joke.

Winfield Courier, August 17, 1882.

TO BE MARRIED. The following parties have been authorized to commit matrimony the past week: Norman Hall and Ida Terrill.

[LIBERTY TOWNSHIP CORRESPONDENT: “JAY HAWKER.”]

Winfield Courier, Thursday, January 8, 1885.

Newton Hall and wife are spending their holidays at Newt’s old home in Illinois, but are expected home soon. We will all be glad to have Newt with us again.

Not many weeks ago a young man from Winfield, who is very intimate with our school “mam,” stayed rather late (we didn’t say where he stayed) and being rather sleepy got lost and when he found himself, his horses were eating hay from a neighbor’s hay stack. Then he tried it again, and found himself at Mr. Hall’s, who told him to take the road just north for the peach orchard, but he went to the apple orchard instead, in fact, I don’t believe he knew either one from a corn field. Come “set ’em up,” and we will not give you away, it makes us shiver to think what a cold night it was.
