    Aimee, Angela and Alicia Hudson, daughters of Serrena and Darrell Hudson, recently attended their first day of school at Lincoln Elementary, having recently moved to the Warsaw area. The girls were a little nervous about attending the new school, but their pet dog Toby was even more nervous about being left alone.

After the girls walked to school, Serrena and Darrell noticed the dog was missing. Toby showed up at the school, and wandered through the halls until he found Alicia's kindergarten class, where he went in and sat down beside her.

    Honey bees took possession of a room in a North Lake Street home Monday evening and held possession until Tuesday morning, when open windows lured them to the out of doors. The swarm was in the chimney, and when a fire was lighted in a small stove, the smoke was too much for them and they dropped into the chimney ash pan, from which they emerged into the lighted room. Hundred were killed by use of fly swatters, but hundreds more came to take their place, so the room was closed until this morning.
