Goat disrupts church service and sermon at St Pauls authorit
In a bizarre incident at St Pauls Tuthoron church the churchgoers watched as a black and white billy goat named Banshee trotted through a window and into the pulpit.

Meanwhile Mis Blackburn, a Methodist deaconess, is praised for her community work and outreach to families and children in need. A separate note reports Miss Mattie Smart visiting Clinton and the theft of jewelry from her room by an unknown party.

County supervisors report progress on the northwest Macon county ditch, a Lake Fork drainage project extending from Jonas Lake in DeWitt county. The $10,000 work uses dredges to create a 25 to 35 foot wide channel with 90 foot dumps, raising land values from 10 to 100 dollars an acre and reclaiming about 20,000 acres previously wet or barren.

Decatur wheelmen tumble on high wheel fun turns rough
A Sunday pleasure ride in Decatur drew many cyclists but only two stayed upright atop high wheels Frank Puries and Georg Hart led a larger group of over 25 on Safetlog as riders clashed with antics. One crash sent Linn under a fifty pound wheel with torn bicycle suit and dusted Sunday Dunlap as neighbors aided. The day featured laughs and countless headers along West Wood Street before fatigue ended the spectacle.
