ticularly noticeable for the amount O.

nesday from her trip to the southern
part of the state. She gave elocutior

A very good shower of rain fell in
this vicinity Tuesday night and was
some better than an ordinary dustlayer.

for moisture, SO we are told by farmers.
The county com naissioners adjourned

Miss Marie Quigley departed Tuesday

tend The national meeting OF the Ed
worth League. She will be absent
about month and will spend portion
OF her time in New York state.
There will undoubtedly be quite a
bit OF cement sidewalk laid on Main
street this summer and fall, as there
are several walks along Main street
which are badly in need of something
better and as The city council will not
permit any new plank walks to be laid
on that thoroughfare cement walks will
necessarily have to take their place.
Deputy Sheriff Tobin keenly feels
the emptiness OF the county Jail, which
hasn't had an occupant since court ad-
journed and three men were placed in
the penitentiary. Usually during the
summer months there are enough va
grants in the Jail to keep the lawn
moved down, but in the absence OF
these the deputy works the lawn now
or himself.
Quite few young ladies and gentle
men participated in surprise party
Monday evening arranged for the bene-
fit of Miss Bessie Thompson. They

The evening WAS a delightful one to
those who participated.

Champeny's creamery 10 a busy scene
OF activity during the morning hours,
when farmers teams are gathered
there with their daily milk contribu-
lions. The creamery gets in the neigh
borhood of 1000 pounds of milk per
day, which ought to be nearly doubled.
The creameries of Mitchell and MI.
Vernon are OF untold value to Dawson
county and will assist materially in TO-
creasiDg the value Of farms
An ice cream supper and social was
given on the lawn OF the Catholic par
sonage Tuesday evening, and but for
the storm which came up early in the
evening there would have been large
attendance; as ii was there was very
fair number present. Before it com
menced to rain the social was ad journed
TO the parochial school building. The
ladies, who had the social in charge,
we're very attentive to the wants of
their patrons and realized q neat sum
OF money as a result of their efforts.
Aberdeen had a good touch OF a hail
storm Tuesday evening, which began
about 80 o'clock and lasted probably
five or ten mir utes, sc we we're informed
by Conductor John Weber. There WAS
some damage done to crops, but not
enough to amount to anything. Quite
Z number of windows were broken
around town, and 81 were broken q the
Milwaukee passenger coaches standing
on the tracks. The hail was about as
large as those which visited this section
