Ravmond,

March I'M. W. Thorn, accom-
panied by Eddie Newberger, took the
train for Willmar Monday where Mr..
Thorn had business, returning Tues
day. C. M. Johnson, carpenter
from Willmar, has the contract for
building the new lumber sheds for the
Raymond Mercantile company, and
has already commenced the construc-
tion of the same ..... .Chas. Henning
returned from his trip to Chicago last
week where he went several weeks ago
to receive medical treatment. During
Mr.. Henning's absence he underwent
a very difficult surgical operation.
His many friends will be gratified to
learn that he is in much better health
than he has been since his misfortune
over year ago. An effort will
undoubtedly be made this spring to
vote bonds for waterworks, which, we
believe, would be sanctioned by our
citizens almost to man. Raymond
is certainly badly in need of better
fire protection and the way to get it is
to have orks.-Raymond News.

tlmlstic, as we are liable to have some
cold weather yet. PAT.

day evening. The program was a
thoroughly enjoyable one, as was
shown by the frequent applause Of the
audience. The numbers throughout
the entire program received hearty en-
cores.

selection which was so we'll rendered
tn tt it made dec clded "hit" for the
band. All the selections showed
marked Improvement under the band g
abe leadership. The new orchestra
made its first appearance and the tre-

merited. 1t was composed of Prof.

Misses Anderson, violins; J. r. No.
rell, viola; Robert Bitterness, flute;

were very pleasing numbers, and the

to repeated encores. Other numbers
which added greatly to the success of
the program were vocal solos by J.
A. Wharton, singing by the male
quartette and guitar solos by Mrs. L.
E. Hearn. Mrs. Hearn is a very
clever performer on this instr ament,
and furnished the audience with some
excellent music. Mesdames F. G..
