Mrs. John McKibben is reported
quite i'll.
Milk route No. 1, started out last
Tuesday with I. q. Emmery, driver.
Eggs are worth seven cents dozen.
Butter is worth eleven cents pound.
The egg trade continues good at the
Station, Mcclure ships about twenty
cases a week.
Baker & Shoesmith still continue
to ship large quantities of eggs from
their North Branch and Hamlin stores.
Nels Peterson went up to Audubon
last Monday and dragged home one of
Gill Jones' best riding plows to use
in his fields.
The hanler on route No. z, says he
has got one patron that does not need
to mark his milk cans, he can tell
them as soon as he sees or touches 'em.
Evidently John Nash believes in
patronizing home industry, as he still
continues to send his milk from the
Jerseys to the Blue Grass Creamery.
We are glad to state that Mrs. Lon
Bradley, at Old Hamlin, is much i'm
proved in health, SO much so that her
children have returned to their home
at Atlantic.
John Mcclure was at the Station
over Monday night visiting with his
brother, Will, and sisters. Tuesday
he hitched up Will's team and drove
to Audubon to pass the day.
On May 81 will occur the annual
meeting of the members of the Blue
Grass Creamery Company, at which
time the election of officers will
occur. Let all attend who can.
Since last Friday A. r.. Anderson
has been unable to learn the where
abouts of his brother, j. Anderson,
who had wandered away from his
hhme, northeast of the Station.
O.P. Tyler came home last Friday
from jaunt through. the South and to
the Gulf of Mexico, in the far south.
He speaks in glowing terms of that
country for sight seeing but says you
want to have return ticket in your
vest pocket. He looks like he had
enjoyed the trip hugely.
On June 9th, the Danish National
holiday, there will be celebration
held in the beautiful grove of Nels
Peterson, short way south of the
Station. A platform will be erected

that four and three-quarter inches of
rain fell. During April, 1896, four

Wilson and VIM. Maxon went for

Bartlett took the North w estern train

will not return to Iowa, but after a
short visit there with her mother she
will proceed, to her California home.
Owing to the reopening of the
