AT VIII Huffman's last Saturday
night there was one of those good old
time social dances, in which formali-
ty, stiffness and GOODNESS were super
seded by hospitality, cordially and
good will, and good time is spoken
of by all who were present.
VIM. Passmore has purchased the
Theo. Morrow farm, west of town,
paying $40 per acre for the same.
This shows that land in this vicinity
is considered the best in the county,
for this farm has no Improvements on
it, but MIR. Passmore will make
money on his investment.
Last Saturday number of the
young folks on pleasure bent, gather
ed at the home of Allie Bamsey for
social dance. The festive queen of
fairies touched each with her magic
wand of pleasure and they became
| intnyicof oil with for,rotfnlnocc ~ oo,o
and enjoyed the evening as our best
young people can.
Robert Henderson departed Tues
evening with car of goods for his
large farm near Barnsville, Minnesota.
Mr.. Henderson has over 500 acres of
good land III that country, and this is
the first of his goods sent preparatory
to his moving later in the year He
and his estimable wife are we'll known
as they have long been identified with
the largest ranches in the county and
their new enterise in the new country
will certainly be a success if they
take the same energy they have shown
here.
| Monday night about thirty young
men and women from the Presbyteri-
an church in Audubon went out to-
the pleasant home Of Mr.. and Mrs..
Robert Henderson for a good time.
Part OF them were members of Mr..
Henderson's Sunday School class and
felt at home. Unluckily Mr.. and.
Mrs. Henderson, by a slight mis-
understanding, were not at home, but
the young people were not to be dis
appointed in their good time, so en-
tered and proceeded to have good
time. Although they missed the
genlality of their host and hostess,
they yet managed to extract from the
evening good share of pleasure, and
returned home with pleasant memo
ries of the evening.
