Last Sunday evening while the
Northwest wind was blowing a keen
anthem, about fifty guests assembled
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. q. Peter
sen, east of Elkhorn, in response to
invitations for a party given by
their daughter, Miss Annie. 1t
proved a very enjoyable affair and
the merriment was continued until a
ate hour when all returned to their
respective homes.
The greatest social event of the
season presumably, occurred at the
pleasant home of MIR. and Mrs. Hans
Marquesen at Kimballton Saturday
evening. The large hall was Hastily
decorated and when the many invited
guests arrived they found themselves
enclosed by an array of splendor long
to be remembered. The evening was
spent in games, c~haradcs, etc., and at
an appropriate hour elegant and
sumptuos refreshments were served. |
1t was i'll the wee hours of morn ;"
before the gay assemblage concluded
their hilarity and all went home
feeling that they had enjoyed an
evening Of exquisite pleasure, and
bearing gratitude in their hearts
toward their pleasant and entertain
Ing hosts.

died at her home east of Elkhorn last
Friday night, the death of her infant
babe occurring a few hours later.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon, services conducted by Rev.
P. Wig. A procession of over 200
people moved solemnly to the Elk
horn cemetery where the remains
were tenderly laid at rest. The much
lamented lady leaves a Borrowing
husband and six small children to
