Mics SOPHIE otefNng returneu
from LeMars Monday, where she had
been visiting friends the past two
weeks. -. -
The Swedish Mercantile company
has put up a neat fence along the
side of their store-to be used as
hitching posts and also to prevent the
horses from obstructing the sidewalk.
Lewis Epson, of Elk township,
was pleasant caller Saturday. He
was feeling very good over crop pros
poets and thought that with good
crops this season things would hum
this fall.
j. T. Fisher and wife accompanied
by Miss Nina passed through the
city Monday en- route to St. James
where they will assume charge of the
Gibbs house. This excellent family
has a host of friends in Worthington
who unite in wishing them unlimited
success in their new location.
Editor Brandon, the new pro-
prietor of the Rushmore Gazette,
was among our Monday callers. He
is putting in new plant and will
give the Rushmore people paper to
be proud of. The first issue under
his management will appear next
week.
While out hunting at Lake
Ocheyda last Friday number OF
Worthington boys had quite an in
teresting time. The team they were
driving ran away and did consider
able damage to the buggy. The boys
were obliged to walk home by moon
light.
Monday Judge Cory heard the
petition of Catherine Wilkin, guardi-
an of Maggie Tammen for allowance
of account and final settlement. A.
w. Tierney of Fulda appeared for
petitioner and q. R. Cheney for
minor; settlement was made on a
basis of $114O for minor.
Miss Caldwell left this week for
Minneapolis where she will spend
several weeks visiting relatives. Miss
Caldwell has been teaching music
here and in Heron Lake and Window
all winter, and after this vacation will
return and take up her classes again
to be continued all summer.
Judge G.. w. Wilson is attending
court in Slayton this week. He has
several important cases on the calen-
dar. The Judge has retained and
will conduct the. celebrated Oxford
case. We. understand that he will
also conduct the defense in the case
of the state against T. H. Brown,
who is under Indictment for larceny
in the second degree particulars of
which mention was made in our last
issue.
-Worthington should have band
by all means. If there ever was a
time when we were in need Of good
band it is now. We have the neces-
sary ability for an organization that
would lay all others in this part of
the state in the shade, and all that
the boys need is a little encourage
ment on the part of the citizens. A
band is fine advertisement for a
town and now that Worthington is to
have the ercampment, a race meeting,
bicycle tournament, and county fair,
we should certainly endeavor to re-or-
ganize the old band. "Music hath
charms"
John S. Blair, who used to con-
duct shoe store in this city in the
days of long ago, was in the city
Saturday and Sunday, with the
accent on the latter. John informs
us he is now located in the town of
Adrian, a busting little city in the
far west, where the festive buffalo
romps and plays, during the day and
the COYOTES make night hideous
with their pityful yells, and where
the denizens are in constant fear of
the wild man. John looks just like
the John of good old democratic
times, except that a few gray hairs
have found home among his curly
locks. He says that he notices many
old land marks which recall to his
memory happy boyhood days down
on the Okabenas. He returned to the
land where the wild fox digs his hole
