{ Nov. 12.--Miss Hannah Larson of
Willmar visited with her brother, "A.
J. Larson. Miss Larson is employed
as waiter at Kuster's cafe, ). 3. r. lies
emer, superintendent Northwestern Ell
evator Co., visited with their agent at
this place Saturday afternoon $3.50.
Messrs. Chas. Dittes and James A.:
Kepner attended the play at the opera
house Friday evening, "The Sunset of
Woman's Life.:'' They speak highly
of the play. The Northwestern ele-
vator at this place took in one of the
largest loads of grain that ever was
hauled to this place one day last
week. The load held 127, bashels Of
grain. .Chas. Anderson is at pres
ent in the cities looking after his hay
business. 49,. Albert Barbknecht, our
genial thresher. has now started in
shredding corn. He reports lots of
work in that line. There is lots of
corn this year and very likely there
will be double that amount next year.
Farmers have come to the conclusion
that it isn't the wheat that does the
thing, but little corn with it makes
farming success. John Larson
made flying trip to Willmar Satur-
day, returning the same day. Mr..
Larson intends to take a trip to Swe-
den before long. No place like Swe-
den, they say. "A. ). Larson and
family, Mrs. Sonneson and the Misses
Hannah Larson and Hulda .Sonneson
visited with Jens Anderson's Sunday
Hello, Gust LEOPOLD! When did
you come in?... j. G. Bjornberg, the
travelling agent for DR.. Wards medi-
cines, called on Priam friends Satur-
day. Joe is q hustler, and deserves
a good sale for the celebrated medi-
cines he is selling. .....A basket So
cial was held in the schoolhouse and
and very successful affair it was.
Games were played and baskets were
sold, and would-be mistakes were also
seen. I recollect one event which I
must name. A young married couple
was there and of course as they have
been partners for six years who could
expect that luck would be against them
this evening, when every body had to
share the contents of we'll packed
basket with some little beauty. But
luck did not favor them, at least pro-
badly the rest of them did not think
So, Some way or another the mar
ried gent carried off one little fairy's
basket and some other young gent
carried off the married lady's basket.
Both parties were so interested that
they did not realize the truth until
they got home and were going to say
farewell to each other. Ladies and
gentlemen, look out in case like this
mistakes so often happen. Grain
is coming in to Priam in. so large
quantities that it is difficult for the
elevator agents to get money enough
to pay them off. A bank at this place
would certainly pay at different zines
in the season.. A creamery meeting
was held here Saturday for the pur-
pose of trying to reopen the cream
cry, which was closed about q month
ago. Another graphophone enter
tainment was held in Dist. No. 80, in
which the owner of the machine cleared
45 cents. 80. Russell Spicer is having
another small barn built on his Lake
Milton farm. 80. Our Mr.. Thompson,
brother of L. G. Thompson, who is
running the Raymond creamery, Wis
tied Priam Saturday afternoon .....
Mr.. Chas. Dittes is the owner of a
nice flock of geese that he purchased
from Swilling Bros. Hunters, please
take notice when you pass Priam;
don't shoot at them or there will be
geese trouble. -. When going to Will
mar the other evening we met an old
gent 'eman who had taken little too
much medicine for the cold. No doubt
it must have helped, for his voice was
loud in singing his life's sweetest sto-
ry. Name is omitted. Herman Ness
is busy digging wells. Herman is a
good we'll digger. Mats Mattson
is hauling wood from Priam. He
claims he gets the wood cheaper here
than in Willmar. Abraham Abra-
hanson came down to Priam Friday
evening and took his folks down to
the social at the schoolhouse. Ole
Oslie is ~hauling grain to Priam. %.
August johnson of Roseland is haul.
ing his wheat to our burgh. He claims
he is getting better grade here. Well,
this is the place.. A cold snap
struck Priam and surrounding county
Monday. Where is our Indian sum-
mer?. Miss Hannah Larson returned
to Willmar Monday. {. Gust LEOPOLD
made q flying trip to the metropolis
last Monday $3.50. Postmaster Dittes
went to the county seat last Monday
despite the cold weather. ..... Even
Erickson called at our .burgh Monday
evening. :. johnson, the Willmar pop
factory man, called on Larson & Dit.
tes. w. M. Crate called on our
merchants MOndav forenoon.
