the people of this vicinity they had
good time.
Joe James went down to Atlantic
last week to the carnival and to meet
a travelling salesman of whom he or
dered as nice line of goods as ever
came to town as all will agree when
they see them.
Rasmus Heidegaard has purchased
the three acre tract of land in Elk
horn belonging to the partner, Ras-
mus Hansen, paying $4,000 for it,
but it will make an elegant home for
Mr.. Heidegaard.
Nels Petersen, brother of John
Petersen's book keeper, stopped few
days last week while enroute from
Denmark to his home out in Wash
ington and told his brother of all the
old-time scenes in the Father Land.
Poplar has been improving consid-
erably of late. Jasper Jensen has put
neat barn back of his hardware
store and his son Laurence Jensen has
put up nice new house since his
marriage some weeks ago, so it looks
more like a town.
Shirts are not the only things that
Hans Madsen has down to bedrock
prices as those who have been going
there lately have found out. He has
overalls for 20 cents that are marvel
to all that see them. If you have not
seen them, come and do so.
Don't wait until the first blizzard
to get fur coat. Get one now and
save money. l have a fine line of
duck coats, fall and winter caps, that
are all right. See me before you buy
elsewhere. JOE JAMES,
Elkhorn, La.
Kimballton still shows signs of de-
veloping. A new street was laid out
the first of the week, running east
and west, south of Faaborg & Hell
guards store and already two houses
are being built on the west street.
The name of the new street is Albert.
The finest line of fall and winter
goods ever shown in my store. / can
| fit you out IN all kinds of outing
flannels of the latest styles, colorsa and
heaviest texture.

Mr.. Mcmahon, an old resident and
pioneer living west of Elkhorn, swept
through the strong beaten gates of
death, last Sunday, and Monday his
remains were placed on the cars and
shipped to Davenport where all that
remained of mortality was consigned
to the earth where the elements will
crumble again to the dust from which
itcame.
| MAIDS Gregerson, living up by Elk
horn, sold his farm of one hundred
and titty-two acres this last week to
j. P. Hansen, receiving $4,000 per
acre for the same. MAIDS had held
the place but a few months and made
about S24.O0 more per acre than he
paid for it. Land seems to have been
going up steadily around this commu-
nifty until it is almost out of sight.
H Last Sunday afternoon great
crowd gathered at the home of that
prosperous up-and- coming farmer,
John Faaborg, to enjoy the company
of each other. 1t is needless to de-
scribe what took place. The name of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Faaborg is the
same as a good time. Sadness flies
from them as thistle down before the
wind and in its place reigns Joy and
peace and happiness, as it did here.
H Albert Hansen, editor of the Har-
Ian American, and wife came out to
Elkhorn Saturday and visited until
Monday beneath the parental roof.
Albert has taken in partner to do
the mechanical work and has added a
lot of body and job type to his Office
so that the paper is making quite a
creditaDle appearance. He is striving
to make the best paper in the county
ana Win persistent effort ne Will
succeed.
The Atlantic carnival will long be
time remembered by the young peo-
pie in and about Elkhorn. On Thurs
day many of them went and the rain
fairly caught them and then the wild
mad seeking for lodgings. Anything
was acceptable. Some took barns,
some took hotel parlors with moth
/ ing but thin blanket beneath them,
some girls stayed out in the buggies,
! while Others drove that weary dis
lance home. None of the experience
was pleasant but much of 1t was
thrilling. 1t was not red letter day
but it was wet clothing day as every
one is willing to testify.
