advanced in years to take an active

cation on its feet. The Band BOYS
own considerably property at Kim
ballton which they will try to dis

younger coterie of players will in the

Three very august bodies of Off
cials-The Sharon Township Board of
Trustees, the Board of Health and
the School Board-all met for bust
ness at the Center schoolhouse Mon
day afternoon. No township in Au-
dubon county has a more thorough
and competent local board than has
Sharon township. The Board OF
Health consists of the three Trustees
-Peder Lykke, Lars c. Christoffer-
sen and Jorgen j. Miller-George
Marcusen, township clerk and DR.. L.
Slamberg, health officer. To these
men is due the credit of keeping the
prevailing small pox epidemic within
the bounds of restriction. The vigil
liant work of the quarantining Off
GERS is to be commended. They did
their duty without fear or hesitancy.
Inscriptions persons last week cir
culated the report broadcast that
there were from ten to twenty-five
cases of variola in this township.
Such reports have only tendency to
damage and the authors are entirely
devoid of principle. The facts are
that there are only five cases within
the township limits. One of them
I-Valdemar Jensen's-i is considered
very serious. The others are of a
milder nature and the patients will
probably recover without much
trouble.

poem which will be of timely intel
est to Brayton readers just now:
Take up the city's BURDEN
Should be thy battle cry,
Oh, Brayton plume thy pinions
The higher flight to try
With Aldermen of prudence,
With Mayor and Marshal true;
To show the sullen people
What cities ought to do.
Take up the city's burden,
No idle show of state;
No sanguine dream ideal
Of something vainly great;
But union for the mission
The village to improve,
To seek citys comfort
And guard the folks you love.
Take up the city's burden
Have done with stagnant pools;
Have business closed on Sunday
And better ordered schools.
Have done with broken sidewalk
And mud infested street:
Then tax the liquor seller
The towns expense to meet.
Take up the city's burden
Have done with childish things,
Go wear her crown of laurel
The praise that order brings;
With hope inspired and happy
Proceed, in prudent ways
To gain a city charter
And earn her peoples praise.

one of those thorough men who is
destined to get the front. He is u
progressive young farmer and is at
present constable of Sharon town
ship. a peculiar coincident connect
ed with this marriage is the fact that
little over year ago, the groom's
brother was united in marriage taa
sister of the bride. Mr.. and Mrs.

housekeeping on the old Christoffer-
sen homestead with the best wishes of
their many friends to which the

At the Crawford theatre Monday night
Augustus Thomas beautiful drama, cal
ALBANIA" will be presented by a company
which is in every way competent to play
it. The following is from the Denver
Post during the company's recent engage
ment there:
The management of the Denver theatre
has made another strong bid for public
favor this week, and one that will make
this house still more popular with the
theatre public. The attraction is John r.
Nicholson's company presenting the well
known dramatic success, Alabama" The
play is staged in more elaborate man
ner than is usually seen with combina-
tons of a dramatic class, special scenery
perfect in every detail, being used in ev-
cry act. The players are all of establish
ed reputation in their respective lines of
work, carefully selected by Mr. Nichol-
son personally, the result being a pro-
duction that for merit and praiseworthn-
ness has never been excelled by any or
ganiZation ting Alabama in this
city. 1t is a performance worthy of a
large patronage during their stay in
Denver.
