Mrs. John Weighton and Lois and
Miss Weighton were to Carroll last
Wednesday to attend the marriage of
her friend, Miss Bessie Patterson, who
married a rising young attorney in
Illinois.
Ross Kennels departed last Thurs
day for New York to play during the
coming season in Forepaugh's great
show. Ross is one of the best must
clans in the country, having picked
it up almost naturally and a
steady and persistent practice has
made him good. He will remain with
them an entire season.
Martin Rasmussen, living about four
miles southwest of town, is having q
new wind mill and water system put
up at his place. Martin began on this
farm several years ago., with but little
money and has by hard work and
economy made money and is now
gradually putting up those buildings
which add to his comfort and con-
venience.
The entertainment of the Columbian
club at the home of Mrs. John Ward
assisted by Mrs. Frank Watts and
Mrs. Ed. Van Gorder was one of the
most successful ones out. They had a
good program and a delightful lunch
con. 1t was decided that Mrs. John
Nash and Mrs. Vivian Bilharz were
to attend the state confederation of
woman's clubs to be held at Council
Bluffs this summer
The work of constructing the brick
by Hoover and Hendrickson is being
pushed as fast as possible under the
unfavorable conditions of the weather.
Workmen are busy eXcavating and
getting things on the ground for fut-
ure use while others are busy plan
ming the details, so when the work
really begins no delay will be neces-
sary. When the buildings are COM
pleted they will have one of the best
locations in town for their lines and,
too, their buildings are going to be a
credit to the town.
The T.. o. o. F. and Rebekah lodge
are preparing to celebrate the eighty
second anniversary of the order which
occurs on April 26. They will invite
the Brayton and Gray lodges and are
expecting one of the biggest they have
ever yet had. The full plans are not
yet arranged but the various commit
tees are hard at work to get every
thing in shape for the work. d. p.
Stewart, of Harlan, will deliver an
address on the workings of the order
and the program will be made up of
local talent. 1t will be of a public
nature but they have not decided
as yet where they will hold it.
The Columbian club concert given
last Thursday night was one of the
successes of the season. Everyone
hat took place covered herself or
himself with great honors. The
talent was among the best in the town
and the selections were pieces that
ael, who directed it, deserves much
credit for her untiring and unfaging
energy in her work. Those who lis
tened to it report it as good as that of
many travelling troupes and no doubt
it was. The night was not all that
could be desired and lots remained
away but the receipts amounted to
$7l.66 which will be applied to a good
cause. They are prospecting nicely
with the building fund and are re-
c%eiving a patronage from the public
that is well deserved.
There is to be a meeting of the alum
nj next Tuesday evening at the ele-
CANT home of ID. e. Soar on North
Washington Street. Fred Blume, the
president OF the organization, is plan
ming a reception and banquet this
year that will far surpass any former
ones, but to do this must have the
support and co. operation of each indi-
vidual member. The Audubon schools
have graduates they may well be
proud of. All or nearly so have re
ceived a start and ambition that has
placed them we'll along in life. AS a
prominent citizen and mar interested
in education here once stated, no grad
uate among the boys is found loating
on the streets or smoking cigarettes.
The alumni are a more potent factor
in education than they reckon. They
prove what may be done. Each one a
success in life, the next class strives
to emulate their example. The boys
and girls, now men and women,
should all go to work this year and
make the Audubon alumni one of the
best in the state and if they but follow
the advice of their president they will.
