VIOLA CENTER.


NJ. p. Strahl will go to Council Bluffs
the 10Th to attend the q. A. r.. encamp-
ment.
Wilbur Sheets and his wife have
been attending the meetings at the
tabernacle.
A. G. Steele, grain merchant of Coon
Rapids, has been taking in the taber-
nacle meetings.
Grace and Nellie Bowman returned
from Poweshiek county last week,
where they had a pleasant visit with
relatives.
The Coon Rapids young men seem
to be stuck on the Viola girls and are
getting right to the front with the
country maidens.
Miss Gertie Bonwell is teaching one
of the most successful schools at the
Center that has been taught in those
historic walls for many years.
The boys claim that the soil was
torn up under the 'Botna bridge the
other day in very "Polite" sort of a
way, and wish such shocking exercises
discontinued.
Miss Ode Bonwell closed her two
months school last Saturday. Though
still young at teaching Ode bids fair
to make a successful teacher judging
by the satisfaction she has given in
her school.
Aaron Anderson's big gobler under
took the job of licking the whole
family from the baby up to the old
gentleman. SO Aaron seized him by
the goodle and sacrificed him at the
door of the tabernacle.
Jacob Garret meandered down to
the tabernacle on Sunday evening to
listen to the services. When Jake was
coming away some one said, "learn any
thing Jake?" "Yepw Found out
what made the hard times. Preachers
been using up the surplus gold paving
the streets of the new Jerusalem.
The decision of the court in the di-
vorce suit of Matt Cults against
George was as follows: Neither party
got divorce Each one pays the cost
each one made, and George gets the
custody of the child during their sepa-
ration. The child at present is going
|
as a young coon.
A piece of bridge plank was stuck
up in hole in a culvert south of Bob
Gilbert's as warning for people not
to cross it, and people drove around it.
On Sunday night a gang of Guthrie
county bucks were galloping along
in the dark going home from meeting
when Clarence Conner run against the
plank aforesaid, and he was scattered
along the ground in a pretty rough
manner. He regained consciousness
and caught his horse.
The tabernacle meetings closed Sun
day night at IL o'clock and on Monday
the stakes were drawn and the big
tent was taken down and shipped to
Des Moines. Brother Marshall says
many things that people don't like, but
as a drawing card he is an eminent
success, and has furnished a world of
enjoyment to his followers as well as
an entertainment to all the people.
He was rewarded to the amount of
about 1875 week for his labors here,
which we think he was Justly entitled
to. Long live Brother Marshall.
1t is said that Edgar Smith is can
didate for the Office of clerk of courts
and he will no doubt be glad for us to
volunteer our own observations re-
garding the feasibility of serving the
people in that capacity. Well, assur-
ing that Edgar will be willing at some
time to reciprocate the favor we will
state that it requires but a short resi-
dence in court house to utterly dis
qualify man for farm work. He has
a repugnance to the return of the old
hickory shirt. A plow shoe in place of
CATERS is holy horror to him and he
longs for another term and another one
till he finally has to relinquish his hold
sooner or later and in the end comes
forth man without a business. So
therefore "don't you go Tommy don't
CO."
