Body Found in East Fork
The body of Joseph Klipple, 45, was found by a searching party in the East Fork of the Whitewater River, one mile south of Quakertown, Sunday forenoon.
Mr. Klipple, wife and one child, lived on a farm on Eli's Creek, between Fairfield and Everton.
Saturday afternoon, he hitched a team of horses to a wagon and drove to a gravel pit. Not returning when night came, neighbors were notified. Going to the gravel pit, the wagon was found, the horse having had been unhitched. They were found a short distance away.
Farm For Sale
76 acres, 6 miles south of Liberty on Liberty and Brookville Pike. 10 acres of locust trees, plenty running water the year round, young orchard and all kinds of fruit. Splendid stock farm. If sold at once, I will take $60 per acre.

A Birthday Surprise.
Thursday, Sept. 30, being the birthday of Mrs. Omer Himelick, the Young Ladies Sunday School class at Fairfield went to her home and surprised her.
Although the weather was threatening, three auto loads, 18 in all, made the crowd that went. Each girl took a dish of something good to eat. One special feature being the angel food cake baked by Mrs. Mills.
Mrs. Himelick was canning peaches but soon appeared and welcomed us and turned the house over to the class. Soon a bountiful dinner was spread, consisting of fried chicken, salads and everything good of the season.
The Bath and Fairfield Township Sunday school convention will be held at the Franklin U.B. Church, east of Fairfield, on Saturday, Oct. 20 beginning promptly at 10 o'clock. An interesting and instructive program has been prepared.
A Close Call
On Saturday, while Allison Bockover and his brother, Joe, were sawing stove wood in the forest near Old Franklin Church, the high wind dislodged a limb that fell across their heads and shoulders, knocking both men out of commission, but fortunately, they sustained no broken bones, but both were badly bruised.
Taxi!
If some gentleman who has the willpower, would inaugurate a tri-weekly taxicab route via Fairfield and Liberty to Richmond, it would afford a long felt want by our citizens, who are handicapped when they have business in Union and Wayne counties or be detained nearly three hours in Connersville enroute.
