Chris Christensen, the young son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Christensen,
north of Kimballton, is at present an
intense sufferer of sciatica. At times
the pain is fearful and one side APP
pears to be almost paralyzed.
Mr.. Carl Hansen, of north Sharon
township, has finally concluded to 60
to Denmark this winter and will get
ready to sail with Chris Marcusen
next week. He may decide to remain
in the old country permanently.
A considerable number of friends
and neighbors were assembled at Jens
Soe's cozy home on the Ridge last
Sunday evening and it is reported
that for several hours they made that
new house fairly shake with merri-
ment.
Hans Nelson, who lives two miles
northeast Of Elkhorn, intends to have
public sale in about three weeks.
He will try to rent out his farm here
after which he will move with his
family to the Red River country in
North Dakota, near the Canadian
line.
We hear that a deal is on hand
whereby Mr.. A. Berggren will be-
come the proprietor of the Danish
newspaper plant now lying in state
at Elkhorn and resurrect the same
Into live country newspaper. The
first issue of the sheet is to appear
about January lst.
The Sharon Separator Creamery
Company will hold special meeting
next Saturday, December 3rd. A
committee will be appointed to make
arrangements for putting up this
seasons ice. We have no doubt but
what the gentlemen appointed will
properly 9 cut the ice
Mr.. and Mrs. Soren Madsen, north
of the West Hamlin creamery, are
mourning the loss Of their five-year-
old son, who died last Saturday even
ing of throat troubles, after an illness
of very short duration. The little
one was laid away Monday in the
new Danish Lutheran cemetery.
Andrew Christensen, who has been
carrying the mail between Audubon
and kimballton for the past year,
had his face badly frozen during the
storm Monday Of las. week. The
skin all peeled off and Andrew is now
growing ''new face. - He imme-
diately turned the route over to Geo.
Nelson who will probably complete
the contract.
George S. Faaborg, the we'll known
travelling clothing man has decided
to locate at Kimballton and go into
business for himself. He will put in
an up-to-date stock of dry goods and
clothing and will occupy one side Of
Esbeck Brothers big store with his
new goods which will arrive this
week. George is capable business
man and we predict for him much
success.
Chris Marcusen has decided to take
a trip 10 Denmark this winter to
visit relatives and old friends in his
boyhood home. He intends to leave
here about next Tuesday and will
leave New York on the big trans At
lantic liner December 10th. Chris
came to this country from the old
country about 10 years ago. He
labored on farm for several years
and then started out on his own hook.
By dint of perseverance and fair deal
ings he has secured for himself and
his mother a commodious home.
We are glad to see Mr.. Marcusen take
this recreation and predict that when
he returns in the spring he will bring
with him buxom Danish maid to
share with him the battles of life in
the land of the free.
