On dock once more. We would like
to earn q credit mark for regularity
but 6nd it up hill work on account Of
pressure of business. Editor McCune
cornered US the other day in the Wor-
rhingt0n:P q. Aud although a mild
hammered man-We imagined he ''look-
ed daggers"at US, but we were en-
abled to stand him off by promising
closer attention to business after the
rush of spring work was over.
Mr.. 8. &. Freeman of Iowa, is now
comfortably settled in his bachelor
quarters on Sec. p. and rs busy as a
mailer putting In his crop. Harry
Robson who came up with him, has
hired for the season to Mr.. r. E. bly,
and in the mean time, will get a lot Of
breaking done on his own land this
spring.
: Barton Miller has hired out to Thos.
Brown, and Lawrence Stump has en-
gagged his services for another year to

and viii do justice to their employers
intereats. { e.ezs T.
" Miss Bessie Gorrie Of WorthinRtob
has been doing some sewing Of late In
the families Of VIM. BartOn's s folks,
and sisosmaking some pleasant. visits
among her old time friends, among
which the writer's folks acknowledge 4
pleasant share. Bessie'S .viyacity and
entertaining manners make her visits
very agreeable aud she Is rated among
the most welcome Of our guests.
And yet another fair flower from
Worthington's conservatory Of pretty
girls, Miss Josie Allen visited day or
two with Mrs. Katie A. Dodge and
Miss Jennie Barton, and attended an
evening party at the residence of Mir.
Christopher Schaffner. There was a
large attendance we hear, aud a pleas
ant evening was passed.
Miss Lena Olson, eldest daughter of
our esteene town treasurer. is quite
sick. Mr.. Olson himself, is in poor
health this spring and u any are COM
planning IF coughs and colds.
Miss Edith Spafford is teaching in
School District No. Sc and Miss Cora
AcheSon has opened school in District

Mr.. II. G. Shepard and his successor
in business Mr. Nichols representing
the Namakagon Lumber Co. were do
ing business in our town last week.
We cannot forbear before we close to
mention the fact that our Sabbath
School is increasing both in numbers
and interest. and soleIy taxes the ca
pacity Of our little school house to pro-
vide room. Our own towns people
are quite punctua! in attendance which
togt tier withs visitors and SCHOLARS
from Round Lake and LorAin, ale
likely to crowd for space, but we are
going to have church bye and lye,
and with it plenty Of room no only for
Sabbath school work, but coEgrega-
tional services. And then may we not
hope to have Il moral and intellect ual
treat occasionally from some ofWorth-
ingtOn'S vast array Of pulpit talent?
The undertaking has been started on
the 10c. contribution and letter plan
under the auspices of the Durcas Home
Missionary SOcity. and Mrs. Katie 4.
Dodge-President. reports very crafty
ing progress. We have understood
from some Of the Round Lake folks
that Mrs. Virginia Harrington Of Wor
at the Station ~sGl.0el house, to aid-~in
Sabbath school, providing II certain
occasion was set for Friday evening
ApIll lAtn.. DnI the proSpecC IS so nat
teriDg for a large attendance they have
concluded the school house will not
hold them and the matter will be de-.
ferred until they arrange The r. r..
Freight house in which to meet. Mrs.
H., we underst and is possessed of rare
e!ocntionary talent, and benevolent
disposition as well, and this generous
offer on her part will. we know be
highly appreciated by cnr neighbors.
