Marshall Messenger: The pastors of our
churches are inquirlng what there can be IN the
atmosphere of their churches that cause SO
many young men to get up in the middle OF
the services or sooner and go out. We were a
| boy once, and can answer that question. They
enter church TO find their girls, and leave to
| hunt for them in the other churches. When
you see one of the boys slipping out prema-
turely after this, just remember that he is
hunting his girl, and be little sympathetic If
his boots do sqneak. Since the publication In
the village paper of the foregoing apology" it
is said the young men do not leave the
churches during service any more.
st. Peter Times, May g. A party of twenty
two (men, women and children) arrived here
on Thursday morning, direct from Luxem-
bourg They left their native land April -,
thus making a remarkably quick trip. Yester-
day forenoon this miniature colony went to
Belgrade township, where, after taking rest
and looking around. they may settle. Luxem-
bourgers make good citizens, and we welcome
them to our county. The male adults of this
party were handsomely robed, polished in ad-
dress, highly educated, and had piles of money.
Each one locked the embodiment of good
health, and the women and children appeared
as neat as wax dolls just out of q band box.
These are the kind of settlers our county wants
by the thousand.
