Mrs. Frank Clayson returned to her
home at Wood Lake last Saturday ,af-
ter visiting her parents here.
At the special school nesting last
Saturday evening it was voted to re-
fund the school bonds that are about
to fall due, the money to be secured
from the State school fund.
Irving Tiffany, who has been visit
ing his sister in the Archie Stewart
school district, Underwood, and with
a relative at Cottonwood, came down
on the St. Louis freight Monday night.
Considerable of surprise has been
manifested here during the past week
over the receipt of cards announcing
the marriage of Miss Louisa Charter,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Charter, residing just south of the
city, to DR.. j. II. Fountain, of St.
Louis, Mo-, at the head of the Shaker
Medicine Co., which exhibited in Red
wood Falls recently. It was during
the exhibition here and at Morton that
Miss Charter met and was won by the
celebrated leader of the Shaker Medi-
cine Go. The greatest surprise how
ever, origintes from the fact that
Shakers are not supposed to marry,
and people can only conclude that
popular DR.. Fountain is not real
Shaker.
The nickel readings finished Tues
day evening in a blaze of glory, the
spelling contest between the high
school and citizen teams being the
main feature. The musical program
was made short to give sufficient time
for the spelling bout. The Misses
Isham and Eta Baker furnished the
piano selections, which were heartily
applauded, and Mrs. o. w. Mcmillan
sang a song full of music, Mrs. Pease
accompanying, leaving the audience
to regret that their encore was not
persistent enough to secure more of
the same sort. Between acts of the
spelling contest, Pitts Tenney gave a
guitar solo, and was compelled by the
audience to come to the front again
when he sang comic song. When
Attorney Mcleod raped to order fol
the spelling match, it was found that
nearly half the citizens chosen to spell
against the high school pupils had in
gloriously absented themselves. Blu

from the schools. Instead of spelling
down after the old fashion, the mattel
was by points, and it soon became ap

ahead, and scored their ten point
