The Norwegian lutheran church

AAO NOIWoSldQ Lutheran church
society accorded their new pastor, Rev.
G. ). Llnnevold with large attendance
at his first service last Sunday. In a
fitting address Rev. Ristad introduced
the new pastor to the congregation after
which few remarks and brief sermon
by Rev. Linnevold was heartily received
by the members of the church. On
Monday evening, in the parlors of the
church, reception was rendered Rev.
Llnnevold and wife. Refreshments were
served and a most social evening was
passed.
"A tiller of the soil from MELVILLE
drifted into bicycle shop in Edgerton
last Saturday and was asked if he would
like to buy a bicycle to ride about the
farm. Said the bicycle man, "They are
cheap now, can give you one for S35."
'l'd sooner put $50 in good cow said
the farmer. "But think how foolish you
would look riding around your farm as
tribe brindle cow said the bicycle man.
ooh that wouldn't be so worse" said the
farmer, mo more foolish perhaps than
sitting down on one legged stool trying
to milk bicycle" Honors were even
and the man from MELVILLE went home
content to traverse his acres afoot or as
tride COW. The shackles of the plow-
mans walk did not tie the muscles of
that farmers tongue when he tried to
talk.
Thirteen young ladies of Edgerton
went to Lake Ripley last Wednesday
and passed the day upon the shores of
that beautiful sheet of water. They
were jolly lot of pretty maidens with
warm faces and angelic forms, out for
innocent sport and day of pleasure.
And they had it. Alone and by them
selves, away from watchful eyes, they
were to do and act as only young girls
can. They romped the woods, sang the
favorite songs, ate the picnic dinner,
took off their shoes and waded the
waters of Ripley till the waves met the
lower rutfies on their dresses, and their
feet were scratched with sand and shell.
From early morn until the long shadows
of the trees stretched their forms across
the surface of the lake these young
ladies employed every minute to the
best advantage for pleasure and past
time.
AT the farm home of Mr.. and Mrs.
OlefAnderson, near Hanerville, pretty
wedding took place Wednesday evening,
July IL, at which time their only daugh-
ter, Annette Josephine, was united in
marriage to Mr.. Adolph Olsen, of Slough
ton, in the presence of about $50 invited
guests. A large tent had been erected
on the lawn near the house, and under an
evergreen arch inside of this the couple
stood while Rev. Ell. G.. Smeland tied the
nuptial knot. Misses Josie Oscar and
Olga Egeland were bridesmaids while
the brides two brothers, Carl and
Adolph Anderson acted as groomsmen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Olson passed Friday and
Saturday in this city, the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. John Thoreson. They took
the early morning train Sunday for Chi
cago to visit relatives couple of weeks,
and will be sat home" to their friends in
Stoughton after August 4th.
The editor of this paper, accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, Miss
Minerva, left Saturday evening to join

Association. The party inclndes about
300 and they are the guests of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad

mills at Nekoosa were visited on the way

Chain of Lakes; a reception and ball at
Stevens Point; ride through the forest

Lake; and reception at Rhinelander.
Someone has made a two-faced error
and from all indications it looks as
though it might be us. Perhaps it is,
for man in the newspaper business is
just as liable to "put his foot in it" as
any ordinary being in other walks of
life. In last weeks issue of the Re-
porter announcement was made of the
marriage of Miss Ada Thoroughbred, of
GAINESVILLE, to Mr.. D. S.. Conger, of Chi
cago. Notwithstanding the aim of the
Reporter to correctly announce passing
events, Miss Thoroughbred and Mr..
Conger are two separate and distinct
individuals. not bound together by any
