Miss Leah Rippberger Of Elgin,
ILL.,, was here last week visiting her
parents. This is her first visit west
and she is highly pleased with Wor-.
thington and surrounding country;
thinks it far ahead of the east in
many respects. She is especially
pleased with the handsome court
house, school building and churches.
VIM. Callahan.of Ida Grove, Ia,
is here this week looking the country
over with view OF locating. A num-
Der of Mr.. Callahan's neighbors also
have an eye on this section and are
awaiting report from him. Mr.. g.
enrolled his name among the great
army of ADVANCE readers and will
keep posted on events from this quar-
ter. .-.>-y.
Fl. G. Myers, of Sioux City, who
travels for a Sioux City grocery firm,
broke his leg at Spirit Lake Friday.
The accident occurred at the Crandall
house, while he and the landlord we're
shaking hands. We had imagined
that the Spirit Lake landlords could
|lengthen mans leg several inches
without blushing, but didn't suppose
they would break person limb.
Last Friday. evening at about 8
O'Clock fire alarm was turned in and
the shanty on the lake shore on End
avenue belonging to Mr.. Grubbs was
seen to be on fire. When the hose
companies reached the scene of the
fire the building was almost burned
to the ground and the water was not
turned on. The loss was very light
The fire is supposed to have been
started by tramps.
AT the Presbyterian church on
Sunday the morning service is to be
devoted to the interests of elderly
people. The sermon will be on a
subject connected with old age and
music appropriated the occasion viii
be rendered. By way of contrast
with the morning, the evening service
will be, more particularly for the
Young. AS the recent international
Christion Endeavor convention has
attracted worldwide attention, the
pastor will speak on, THE Great En-
deavor Convention at Boston and its
Meaning" All are cordially invited
to these services. ~ ~
Mayor Smallwood was at Win
dom last week looking over the
creamery at that point. Perhaps
with proper encouragement, Mr.
Smallwood could be induced to pu'
} in creamery at this place. Such ar
enterprise would be of value to thu
farmers of this vicinity and to thu
J, village. We believe creamery ow
ned and operated by a private indi
vidual is always more satisfactory
than one run on the cooperative plan
The number of COWS owned nea
this place is sufficient to warrant
good volume of business for cream
, ery. It is to be hoped that MI
Smallwood's Investigations of thi
matter will be such as to induce hin
to put in plant.
Monday afternoon a strange
asked for the loan of Mr.. Ward Mat
teson's bicycle, stating that he wish
ed to make purchase of a whee

one. Ward is an accommodating gen
tleman and was glad to be of SOM
service to fellow, so helped him OF
and gave him few valuable pointer

Ward is something of an expert him
