flourish homes they found wildness.
And as loving hands laid him who had
cared for them tenderly, in his silent
tomb, dropping tears of grief, his old
time friends remembered deeds of
charity and love done by him in
times past and grieve too with them.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Luse eptertain-
ed number OF their friends at their
pleasant home last Sunday. Their
friends begin to realize that they can
not long enjoy the pleasant hospitali-
ty and companionship of this family
and every chance from now on they
will show their appreciation of favors
in the past. Those present were the
families of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Cozine.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Ross.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Lovelace.
Mr.. and Mrs S. NJ. Luse.
Care free Baccus has at last awaken
ed and sent his sprites to the cave of
sleeping Orpheus to get him to touch
the chord OF mirth and set the ebbing
pulse of the young people to high
tide and gathered them together in the
beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Ross, last Saturday night.
Hospitality begets hospitality and
mirth begets mirth and these are two
potent factors in this home so that the
night was one of healthful enjoyment.
Mirth clasped hands with cheer and
the two stalked amids; the assembled
young people, touching each with the
wand of ease and contentment, so that
they each and all went home happy.
j. F. LUsE, as everyone in this To-
cality knows, has enjoyed one of the
largest trades of any business firm in
the county. To many it looks very
strange that he should dispose of such
a lucrative business that has taken
twelve years of constant toll, push
and energy to build up. He tells us
that his sole purpose in doing SO is to
invest in southwestern Minnesota and
southeastern South Dakota lands,
and to interest others in this locality
He feels he is doing the investor or
homeseeker {. kindness in pointing
out place where they can in short
time double their money or make
themselves a happy, pleasant home in
a country where crops grow equally as
good as in Iowa, where they are sur
rounded by good, thrifty, intelligent
neighborhood, close to school, church,
es and market. His investing in the
lands in this locality shows that he is
sincere in his motives, in fact we do
not believe he could be induced to
recommend anything that he DID not
think was all right. AS Mr.. Luse has
had considerable experience in farm
try very closely the past year, making
investigations as to its resources, it is
evident he has made safe and pay
ing investment
