Jonathan Walker is opening street
on his tract of land west of the German
Lutheran church, which opens up some
very desirable building lots. Viewing
them suggests what an excellent thing
it would be if, in laying off blocks in
this village, an alley would be located
through the middle of each block, so
that barns and other out buildings might
be kept off the main streets. As it now
is, along some of our best streets slightly
residences and unsightly barns are
mixed up in way which detracts very
much from the good appearance of the
village, all because those who laid it
out provided no alleys. The incon-
veniences of this is felt most in our
business blocks, where the rear of some
of the lots are entirely shut off from
any driveway. At this late day it is
hard to see how the difficulty is to be
remedied, unless by common consent
the property owners interested vacate
enough to open out passage along the
rear of their lots clear across the block
The Methodists used the U. B. church
for preaching services last Sunday fore
noon. In the evening Rev. Jas. p.
Pinkham of Minneapolis, occupied the
pulpit, delivering a sermon on the sub
ject of Temperance from Bible stand
point. Next Saturday and Sunday
quarterly meeting services will be held
at Ebenezer, Elder Goodsell officiating
and on Sunday evening he will preach
IN the I. B. church at this place. The
NJ. Il. church building is undergoing
repairs which will require at least a
week or two yet to complete.

ter and they two were married. Joe

Reports for the last quarter of our
schools show an enrolment of A in the
High School, Al in the intermediate
and Al in the Primary Department.
The percentages of attendance and
scholarship in the High School are
quite encouraging. In the others the
per cent of attendance is not up to a
fair average, which may, however, be
accounted for by the unfavorable weather
and bad roads that have prevented the
younger scholars getting out.
Mrs. DR.. Pickard was called suddenly
to Wauzeka on Saturday by the serious
illness of a sister.
We are glad to sec Fred Parker out
again, though he is yet extremely feeble.
