An accident occurred at the saw mill
on Tuesday last, which causes few
days delay. One of the SAWS broke, and
Mr.. Logan Immediately left for Mime
apolis to have the necessary repairs made.
This could not have happened at more
announcement time, as Mr.: Logan was
busy at work getting out lumber for the
new bridge across Platte river, and other
work is waiting to be done. The mill
will soon be again put in order, and the
work pushed to its utmost.
The debating club met last Tuesday
evening with more than usual interest
There were large number present, and
several new members were added The
question for debate was the following:
Resolued, That the private flask is more
injurious to youth than the public bar is.
Rev. J. S. Bouck was on the afirma-
tive, and R. D. Kenney On the negative
The large number present was perhaps
in part owing to the fact that Mr.. Ken.
ney had been appointed to argue the
question against Mr.. Bouck. The latter
gentleman opened the question in fore
ible manner, and it was evident that his
opponent. had work before him to gain
the victory. Mr.. Bouck spoke some Is
or 20 minutes, when Mr.. Kenney was
called and stepped to the front with an
air of triumph on his face, which caused
smile from those present, for little did
they expect that the argument which was
to come would completely floor the clio.
quent remarks of his opponent. Mr.
Kenney spoke for about Is minutes, and
ike question was decided by the president
in his favor. Miss Mary Green then read
an essay, followed by Miss Morris with
select reading, both of which were finely
rendered. The meeting then adjourned
until Tuesday evening the Goth inst, and
the club will meet once IN two weeks
until further notice. All who can attend
whether they wish to become members
or not, are cordially invited.
The oyster supper given by the debat
ing club at the station on New Years
night was a grand success. AS the
sleighing was good it afforded an oppor
tunity to those who enjoy sieighing tt
take ride. At about Z o'clock they
began to arrive, and at o'clock there
were about seventy-five, including those
from Sank Rapids, Two Rivers, Little
Falls and Fort Ripley. A couple O.
hours was spent in singing and having E
social time. The playing by Miss Tru
dell, of Little Falls, and singing by Mrs
Perley, of Fort Ripley, we're appreciated
by all. At about 1920 O'Clock the gen
tlemen took their ladies and marched tt
the freight house, where the supper wa.
in waiting for them, having been pre-
pared by the ladies of the club. Aftel
supper large pyramid cake was put W
to be given to the lady receiving til.
largest number of votes. Miss Glars
Young, Of Two Rivers, received thu
largest number, and took the cake. By
this time it had reached the small hours
Of night, and at 1 80 the last couple left
the depot, expressing themselves highly
gratified with the New Years party
