Editor RepieW:
AS nothing has been reported from
our town for long time, will ven.
ture to break the silence, thinking
probably it might be Of Interest to
some of your readers to learn how we
Lindenites are getting along
AS far as I know no sickness pre-.
walls in our town at present. Ten
deaths have been reported to the town
clerk to have occurred during the
last year. seven of these having been
victims to the dreaded disease diph.
liberia. Twenty-Five births were re.
ported.
The weather has been very cold the
past week, and we have been obliged
to stay at home and take care of our
stoves.
Another Christmas is again past and
its festivities mostly over. On Christ
mas day meeting was held in tke
Linden church by Rev L. E. Green, Il
large audience being present. On the
evening of the 9th, a Christmas tree
was to be erected in the Linden church
but on account of the severe cold it
was postponed until New Years eve.
AS the weather happened to he pleasant
at that time, an unusual large throng
assembled, both young and old & every
one that talked with was quite pleas.
ed with the entertainments. Rev. Mr..
Green presided during the entertain
ment. Ole Jorgensen delivered a
lengthy speech in the Norwegian Ian.
guage and X. Anderson brief one in
English.
The boys Of Linden have organized
reading society, some 25 members
have Joined and more are expected
Most of the volumes will be in the
Scandinavian language, only a few in
English.
Some of your readers feel sore he
cause they had to pay for their paper,
and think if all the editors Of the U.S..
had made the same liberal offer, Gar.
field would have been defeated. ]
subscribed for your paper on those
conditions and still voted for Garfield.
Thought would rather see a Repub.
lican president than make $3.50 on a
paper, but doubt whether every one
would have done that
Politics are quiet and our defeated
candidates have resigned themselves
to their fate.
Three schools are in session in onr
town, viz: in dlsts. Nos. 7, 20 and 38.
Knute Anderson teaches in dist. No. 7,
He has thought said school six terms
prior to this one. Mrs. j Nilsson from
Butternut Valley teaches in Dist. No.
90, and Mary f. Webster in dist. No.
38.
Have heardoccasional complaints from
the young gents of our aeighboring
town of Lake uanska, that scarcity
of girls in that vicinity is greatly felt.
If any place has a superiority of these
fair ones, they would do we'll to mi
crate to Hanska. can assure them
that they will receive a hearty recep.,
ton. The few fair ones that are
there receive an unusual amount of
attention, and if the young men could
keep them in glass cupboard they
would fain do so. If by chance any
one happens to accept a sleigh ride or
aught else like it, from gents of other
towns, it is considered rs treason, and
vengeance is apt to bethe consequence.
A wedding is anticipated in our
town in the near future, and jolly
time is expected.
We did not get the REVIEW last
week. l suppose it was delayed on
account of the snow storm. We get
the mail only once week to Linden,
every Friday.
An Abecedearian.
