"Mishawaka Enterprise", Mishawaka, St. Joseph County, Indiana, Friday Evening, August 24, 1883, page 3

(Just a few interesting items that appeared in this column.)

Hats made out of palm-leaf fans are the latest rage with our young ladies.

Mrs. L. Adalt fell yesterday and dislocated a finger, besides sustaining other injuries.

George Longaker, an old resident of Union township, age 60 years, has been adjudged insane.

Harry Morrison was severley kicked in the stomach by a horse yesterday, but is all right to-day.

The weather has been excessively warm this week, the mercury marking 96 in the shade on Wednesday.

Don't forget the service in the Park on Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Rev. J. W. Lacey will deliver the sermon.

WANTED TO RENT-Three rooms in convenient locality, south side, by family of two. Address box 540, Mishawaka.

Rev. C. P. Hendershot will occupy the pulpit of the M. E. church on Sunday evening next. It will be a Union meeting.

The Turn Verein of South Bend have made very extensive preparations for a picnic, etc., at Island Park Sunday next.

Ferdinand Pettee, who has been prospecting out in Dakota, has returned. He likes that country well enough, but is contented to remain here.

Mrs. L. T. Booth and Mrs. McCorkle had a break down while driving from South Bend yesterday. Fortunately neither of them were hurt.

The ladies of the Christian Church, will have their church Social in the church yard on Monday evening, Aug. 27th. Ice cream and cake and coffee-cake.

Crops and everything are suffering for rain. Several times this week the indications have been promising for showers, but beyond a slight, aggravating drizzle, it has been a failure.

A platform at the Lake Shore depot is a good improvement. Now if the company would only build a new depot to match, Mishawaka would greatly appreciate the honor.
