The first play ever presented by the
"Wadena Dramatic Society," came off
last Tuesday evening before a large
and appreciative audience, at Peake's
Opera House. We will not go into de-
tails of the affair, as want of space
will not permit, and suffice to say that
all of the parts we're we'll taken, and
that the audience went home feeling
| we'll satisfied with the evenings en-
tertainment.
DR.. E. H. Learned and wife, of
Lockport, Illinois, are visiting their
children, Mrs. Naylor and Mrs. Nobes,
Wrightstown. They had been separ-
ated some years, and the reunion was
celebrated by quiet social party at
the home Of Mr.. Charles Smith, where
about so Of their friends had congre-
gated. There were eleven grand
children present, and the good Doctor
seemed to be as young as any in &C.
tions, although he is between 70 and
so years old.
Last Monday, Mr.. Shaulis and
family started for Valley City, D. T.
He paid up all of his accounts like
true man, not even forgetting the
printer, and started for his new home
with a clear conciencience, that he
was owing no man anything, and be-
gin the labor of life anew. We are
sorry to lose Mr.. Shaulis, as he was a
quiet. gentlemanly business man, but
we are assured that he will not be
worse for the change.

We hear some of our settlers re-
mark, that if this is /, sample of
Minnesota winters, they will move
out in the spring. Where will they
go to? In DEBORAH, Iowa, the mercu-
rp registered COX below zero. In Yer
ginia. trains have been blocked with
snow, as also all through the east.
We tell them that this has been an
unusual year, but some think that if
they were only little further south
they would be all right. We will
take 40 below in this country, in pref
erence to 10 or Is in the damp south
ern climate.
