Jolley and Walter Dunlap drove down
to Elk Point with their girls last Tues
day for visit with friends. wv, s.
Goldie was in Elk Point Tuesday on
jag cure business. He has several
patients there and there are several
who ought to be patients. .. 1t is
understood that E. E. Collins will not
run for county superintendent again,
but that he will step aside for Mr.. Kahl
who would like to move to Vermillion
again. Frank Butler, who has been
running the Lawton studio at Elk
Point, will return to his home at
Waukegan, Illinois. His place at Elk
Point will be filled by RI Shriner.
Col. Thomas Wilson sold his house
and lots this week to j. S. Talcott, the
consideration being 81 $50. His stock
of goods we're packed and shipped on
Tuesday and on Wednesday the Col.
and his estimable wife were on their
way to Fitzgerald. Ga, their future
home. THE COURIER is sorry to see
the colonel and his good wife 20. For
nearly a quarter Of century they have
made Elk Point their home, and their
friends of a lifetime live here, all Of
whom join in the general regret over
their departure. A quainter man pev-
err lived than the colonel, and beneath
his bluff manner lies one of the BIGGEST
hearts to be found. His large circle of
friends and acquaintances hope that he
will find good luck in his new field, and
heartily commend him to the people in
Fitzgerald.
Yankton Press and Dakotan: The
rendering OF Memberships Athalie by
the Conservatory Choral Union, at the
Congregational church Monday even
ing, was by far the best choral work
ever given by the conservatory, and
the appreciation shown by the large
audience must have been an inspiration
to both conductor and chorus. The
first soprano solos we're all sung by
Mrs. Staufer and were rendered in her
usual artistic manner. The other solo
parts were sung by Miss Alice Talcott,
Miss Sophia Baisch, Mrs. C. J. Vert,
pupils Of Mrs. Staufer) ana Miss Nellie
Miner and Mrs. S. S. Turner. The
solos were all we'll rendered. The
chorus aud soloists we're we'll supported
by the accompanies, Mrs Franklin L.
Stead, pianoist and Miss Helen Carrier,
organist' Their playing OF the Over
ture and the War March. were we'll re-
ceived. The readings we're given by
Miss Edith Hall, Misses Lyman, Nash
and Barlow. The part Of Joad was
taken by Mr.. Geo. Nash, Prof. Stead
the conductor has reason to feel amply
rewarded for the time and energy
which he has expended in drilling this
chorus. by the Intelligent manner In
which they followed his leadership or
on Monday evening.
