Miss Catlin and Maud Sterling made us a pleasant call Monday afternoon. They showed us some good pictures of the Minneapolis exposition building. We had an interesting call from Robert Crane, of Lomax, last week. The rock-bound old democrat made things pretty lively for awhile. With the exception of politics, Robert gives a good report for his part of the county.
Pastures are in fine condition and cattle never gained more rapidly.
The past few weeks have made a great change in livestock. Mart Craig and family have moved to Kossuth, across the river in DesMoines county. Mrs. W. T. Criss went down to Bushnell Tuesday morning to visit several days there with her brother. Mrs. J.R. White went with her to attend the Soldier's Reunion. The ceremonies connected with laying the corner stone of the Soldiers' Home at Quincy will commence on Tuesday, Oct 19, and continue over Thursday.
