S. G. Petersen was out to Elkhorn
from Harlan the latter part of last
week and the first Of this, visiting
with friends. He has purchased a
stock of furniture in Harlan and will,
if he puts in the same force and ener-
gy that he did in other business, make
a success.
Chris Larsen does not always con.
fine himself to implement deals, but
sometimes branches off into land.
Last week he affected the sale of so
acres of land belonging to Peter Kill
gore to Fred Gerletf at $4,000 per
acre. 1t is a good piece of land and
we'll worth the money.
Hans j. Nelson, a prosperous and
we'll to do farmer living mile north
Of West Hamlin Creamery, is having
new house erected. Hans is one Of
those who labor hard and by economy
has earned the luxury he is about TO
enjoy. When his house is completed
he will have one of the neatest homes
in the community.
H. e. Madsen has purchased the,
entire stock OF jewelry of Esbeck
Bros. in kimballton and added lot
OF new articles and will open first
class jewelry store in Kimballton. He
expects to continue in the Esbeck
store and we do not doubt but that
he will have good and profitable
business, as he has good field.
Henry Paulsen, living south of
Sharon Creamery, has decided to sell
his fine farm and 60 back to the
father land, in Denmark. He has one
the finest, best improved farms in
the community. If he sells and leaves
his neighborhood loses one of her best
citizens. He is always foremost
man, conducting himself as all honor
able man, worthy to be respected and
honored. Whoever gets his farm
will get rare bargain.
The republicans of Clay township,
Shelby county, met in caucus Satur-
day night despite the rain and select
ed the following delegates to attend
the county convention next Saturday:
John Petersen, Joe James, Mis- Larsen,
Frank Starr, Nj. P. Petersen, Andrew
Nielsen, A. Berggreen and Mr.. Flick.
They also nominated the following
township ticket:
Nels Jensen, Clerk.
John Lamer, Justice Of the Peace
Wilhelm Kolb, Assessor.
Paul Nielsen, Trustee.
Mis- Larsen was made Township
Chairman. We did not learn if the
democrats have yet held their caucus
but would be glad to give the pro-
ceedlngs when they do.
The spirit of improvement has
struck the people about Kimballton
and we give list of those going to
build, as furnished by Axel Jensen,
the hustling manager of the Kimball,
ton Lumber Co.. Peter Hansen, fiv(
; ing two miles west Of town, has purJ
chased lumber to build a fine large
barn to house his stock this winter.
Chris L. Hansen, up by Sharon
Center, has decided not to let his
stock run loose and will build barn.
Nels Mortensen, mindful of the
economy of having a good warm
place for his stock, will construct a
good barn. Andrew P. Trolund,
living couple OF miles west oftown,
has purchased a bill of lumber fol
.. the erection of fine barn. Sorer
!, Faaborg, out on the ridge, will put
up large double corn crib to hold
his immense crop. Martin Andersen
near Sharon Creamery, will beautify
his place with new house, and Hans
/ Andersen, west Of town, will add {
J, barn to his property. Many NOR,
} expect TO build soon, which adds t.
the WORTH of land.
