 Club will be held early in June. John 

 C. Gracy is the chairman of the com- 

 mittee with an able staff of assistants

 year's outing under Mr. Gracey's super- 

 intendence we are all looking forward 

 to another glorious good time this year. 



James Brown, Coatesville, Pa., says 

 he will give up his retail department 

 shortly and devote himself entirely to 

 the growing end. He says the reason 

 for this is that it is too much of a 

 strain on Mrs. Brown, who has been 

 the power behind the throne. We sug- 

 gested that he get another wife; but 

 he pooh-poohed that and said that no 

 "old bach" was competent to advise on

such a subject. The idea! As Prof.

 life in the country.

 ter store and more desirable location

A severe electrical storm passed 

 over the city Sunday night. It was ac- 

 companied by hail and rain, and as 

 a consequence many greenhouses have 

 cracked glass. No serious damage is 

 reported. 



The wedding of George Goebel and 

 Miss Ella Schaeffer will take place 

 in June. George is one of the best 

 known men in the market and a 



general favorite, having the handling 

 of a large part of the express ship- 

 ments. Miss Schaeffer has resigned 

 her position at Bassett & Washburn's

 cago and now of Mason City, Iowa, ar- 

 rived here on Saturday for a visit with 

 friends and was immediately stricken 

 with appendicitis and a successful op- 

 eration was performed at University

 here, arrived Sunday.

 and is still unable to walk. Mr. Blew- 

 itt, who makes a specialty of snap- 

 dragons and brings in as fine a qual- 

 ity as is found in the market, says it 

 does not pay in the condition that the 

 market has been in this spring. 



Peter Reinberg and family are now 

 occupying their new home at Sheri- 

 dan Road and Hollywood Ave. It is

 their old, neighbors, the greenhouses, 

 even though they would not want to re- 

 turn to them. Along with the other 

 seven members of the Chicago School 

 Board. Peter Reinberg was sentenced 

 on May 4 to thirty days in jail for 

 contempt of court.
