and always does a straight, fair, and
honest business.
Jasper Jensen, the well-to-do mer-
chant at Poplar, is erecting a large,
new store for hardware and imple-
ments, which his son will assume
charge of, and his son has made good
money and largely increased the VOL

sumed charge of the business at that
point.
Last Sunday a merry crowd from
Elkhorn went out to the home of
Chris. lverson and spent the day in

never showed to a better advantage
than at this time and all had a pleas
ant time.
Jacob Peterson, living a short dis
lance southeast of Elkhorn, was in
town last week and bought a large

have one of the contest, most comfort
able homes in the country.
A number of the parishioners of
Rev. Wig gathered at the parsonage

in the community who wish him God
speed and good luck on his journey.
A lot of the young people of Kim
ballton loaded into Hans Madsen's
wagon last Sunday and went out west
to the home of Chris. Petersen to a
party. Did you ever go along the
road and see boys and girls who were
exemplifying the old saying: GA nler-
ciful man is merciful to his beasts?''
This set of boys either thought of
that or else were afraid of getting
stuck, but they got stuck for the CT
CARS anyway.

long q%uarantined for smallpox, have

busy cleaning up and disinfect1ng
their house and they were released on
last Wednesday. They have been un-
der rigid quarantine for the past three
months, and nov they once more

The Iowa City Republican speaks
ofthe retirement of G. II. Laartz. liy-
ing south of Brayton, from his posi-.
ton as the treasurer of the Northern
Oratorical League, which met recent
ly in that city. The retiring treas
nrer, q. IL. Laartz, of the S. u. I.

Mr.. c. L. Bison, the genial drug
gist at Brayton, who has conducted
a drug store at this place for a long
period of years, and has created MANY
warm friends here, has disposed of his
lucrative business to a gentleman
from Lewis, Iowa, by the name of W.
b. Davis. The consideration price
paid by Mr.. Davis was s25oo, which
Is a very reasonable price for this
business, as it is a very paying bust
ness and Chas. has always enjoyed a
good trade. Chas intends to visit for
awhile and look after his farm inter-
ests. He will visit some of his broth
ers one of whom he has not seen for
over twenty-five years. His wife is
thinking of visiting the Buffalo Ex-

late sprang on to the footboard while
the train was in motion and tried to
obtain admission to one of the compart-

AS the carriage came along the guard
seized him by the Goa and pulled him
off, remarking that he must think him
self lucky, for he had practically saved
his life.
AS this conversation was going on
the guards a came by, and the
guard, with that gracefulness acquired
by constant practice, sailed majestical-
ly on to his van.
The gentleman, who had taken in the
situation, %thereupon seized him by the
coat and pulled him off, saying as the
train sped away:

A summer resident in a New Hamp-

for passing the bill.
