A meeting of the Directors of the Friendship Telephone Company was held at the office of the President in Friendship, on Tuesday evening last, for the transaction of business.

Mrs. POLIVKA, the old lady of whom the PRESS made mention last week as having had a hand amputated, died on October 2d, too late for the news to reach us before the paper was printed that day. Mrs. POLIVKA came with her husband from Bohemia many years ago and the family settled on the farm where she died. She was of retiring disposition, faithful in all the relations of life, and made few acquaintances outside of a small circle of Bohemian friends. The funeral was last Saturday, the services being conducted by Rev. P. KURZEJKA, pastor of the Catholic Church, of which the deceased was a devout member. (page 4) Smith FERRIS, of White Creek, received on the 28th day of September, a draft on Chicago for $1000.00, in payment of certificate held by his son Frank in the Modern Woodmen of America. Frank FERRIS, a member of White Creek Camp. M. W. A., was killed on the 6th of September, by accidental discharge of a gun. Proof of his death was furnished the Auditing Board of Accounts on the 13th and claim was allowed on the 16th. Order for draft was received on 23d and draft received on 28th. Another evidence of the promptness of the M. W. of A. in paying losses. Found The following articles were found on the Fair Grounds after the close of the Fair: A lady's cape; Pair lady's black thread gloves; Butterfly whisk-broom holder; Sample Crochet lace. The owner of the cape and gloves can obtain their property by calling on Mrs. Jas. STOWE and identifying the articles. The entry tag attached to the lace enabled the officers to trace the ownership of that article. The whisk-broom holder has no tag or mark on it by which it can be positively identified, but the books show that a young lady residing in the southeast part of the town of Adams is the probable owner. If so, she probably lost a first premium by failing to attach the entry tag to her article. Some articles taken by mistake have been sent back to the officers, and are already returned to the owners. Should other parties find that they have made a like mistake, the article should be promptly returned, with the entry tag attached, to the secretary, treasurer or president of the Agricultural Society, as a comparison of the numbers on the entry tag with the number entries under the name of each person entered in the Secretary's record, will disclose at once the name of the owner.
