longtime residents of Lost Grove,
who furnished two sons as soldiers

spent life.

lin and Miss Kate Kelly, of Dodge

NET receipts of the G. A. R. annual
campfire and festival are about $lO0
This is considerably below the avails
of last year; the difference arising
from less cash subscriptions, and
less attendance at the dance. From
the supper and entertainment the
returns were up to standard. The
falling off is attributed to the more
stringent times, and not to less inter-
est in the cause on the part of the
people.
