Jens Madsen and, wife, of Nicola, re-
turned home Monday after having a
pleasant visit with John Jensen, Jens
Andersen and other relatives. If

they will, in all probability pur-

Two young men from Audubon
were Kimballton visitors Sunday,
1t may be that they wandered forth
in the starlight to watch the fitful
moonbeam play upon the shadowy
elements or they may have been
coach men or they may have come TO
school We don't know. If you do,
you are wiser than us.
The home of Chris Hansen, the we'll
known harness maker in Elkhorn, was
the scene of a happy gathering Of
people who assembled at his home to
help him celebrate his forty fourth
birthday. Those who were present
had splendid time and before they
left they presented him an elegant
rocking chair in which to rest when
free from work.
Saturday the fun loving people
living west of Elkhorn, were invited
to his place for an evening of enjoy
ment. All who went had lett care at
home and under the influence of a
genial companionship each grew
warmer in heart and jollier in spirit
until wheE 1oward-s morning they
found that time called them home
only too soon to suit their fancy.
About fifty people were invited to
the pleasant home of Wilhelm Wegers
last Sunday to enjoy with him and
his excellent family the luxuries Of
his house recently completed and
fitted up until he has beautiful and
elegant home. Few are better at en-
PERTAINING their guests than these peo-
pie and if the word can be taken OF
those present, they were treated in a
royal manner and would be only TOO
glad to again assemble for another
good time in his home.
Chris Christensen, east of Elkhorp,
initiated his new house last Wednes-
day by inviting in large number Of
his friends to help to spend pleas
ant evening. Lights seemed to gliln-
mer from every room to welcome the
guests as they came trooping in.
Each was met with a pleasant smile
and hospitable hand shake and made
TO feel at home and then proceeded to
have splendid good time. All will
remember III years to come, his pros
perity and generous open-handed
hospitality.
