Mrs. Lawrence Kelly has been quit
poorly for the last month, but is report
ed as getting along fairly good at pres

Fred Killalee, travelling salesman
| for the St. Louis Consolidated Goa
Company, was in town a few hours OF
last Sunday.
Mr.. Gilbert Phillips. Superintendent
of the p. w. Schneider Granite Co.
was called to St. Louis on Saturda,
last, to figure on another granite jot
for the Company he represents.
Mr.. William Martin, General Man.
ager of the Syenite Company. with
headquarters in St. Louis. was here a
couple of days last week, looking over
affairs in the cutting department.
Business in this locality is slowly
but steadily picking up. and we notice
from r. G.. Dun's and Bradstreet's re-
ports that business is increasing won
derfully all over the country, showing
also a gradual increase in all staple ar
ticles, especially of necessity. This.
too, viii probably have d tendency to
advance wages, as their reports show
enormous growth of percentages over
that of last year, and that all effects of
the late panic are about dispeiled.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Barth of Bis
marck visited in town Sunday, with
friends.
DR.. A. w. Kendall of st. Louis spent
day CIR SO last week with Mr.. E. NJ
Smith.
The Ladies Aid Society of the Pres
byterian church will give an ice cream
festival on the hotel lawn, on next
Thursday evening, May 9th. AS the
ladies have been uptiring in their eff
forts thus far in making arrangements
perfect in all that goes toward secur-
ing to all who wish mich cool dish of
the palatable article. it is hoped that
they will be successful in their under
taking. and as the proceeds are for the
benefit of the Presbyterian church, it
is also hoped that a large crowd will
be in attendance.
A Presbyterian Sunday School was
organized ON Sunday morning last. at
Hall, under the direction
of Mr.. Herrick of St. Louis: Mrs. E.
NJ. Smith, Superintendent; Miss Eth
line Smith. Sec'y and Treasurer; Mrs.
Chas. F. Hanson. Assistant Superin-
tendent; Mrs. George Donald. organist.
10 o'clock A. VI. was the hour selected,
and Sunday School and also services
will hereafter be held in Workman's
Hall.
1t seems that move was being
made last week among the ladies of
the NJ. E. church to get up an ice
cream festival, to come off on about
the same date as the one OF the Presby-
terian people, and so far as we can
learn of facts pertaining to the matter.
that the actions of both parties were
and that each party was
ignorant Of the others dOings; and it
looked as though collision was immi-
nent; but instead. however, an AMIGA
be understanding has been reached.
so that dates will not collide. 1t is
hoped, however, that all who are in
.ian spirit and live in peace and unity
with each other, and thus avoid Gre
lting hard feelings that generally, and
we might say, unnecessarily arise
from petty jealousies. We understand
he NJ. F.. people have postponed theirs
'or later date, of which due notice
will be given. and in which case we
rust that both entertainments will
have large patronage.
Mr.. w. Fl. Hunter and daughter of
Iron Mountain were in town last week,
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Schifferly.
Mr.. Hunter. we understand, is an ap-
Dlicant for our next term of school, and
IS he is a reputable gentleman in
scholastic circles. his application ought
10 have the fullest consideration at
he hands of our school-board. Miss
Hunter is yet guest of Miss Bertha
Schifferly.
Miss Jordan, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. j. Jordan, and Miss Mary
Rankin of St. Louis. are at present
guests of Mrs. E. NJ. Smith.
Some pretty warm weather pervad-
I'd this locality last week, and the in
locations for rain were visible from
lay to day, but, as yet, We seem to
have escaped the much needed shower.
By the way. it will come our time
sometime. 1t is generally conceded
hat circuses bring rain. but the great
circus that is still giving every day
exhibitions at our State capital seem
TO have very suspicious weather in
The menagerie department. which is
applicable to the Lower House.
