city on Saturday on visitation to
her brother, AL. Scott. and to her son

Bert Train and Mrs. Eva Aney, both
Of South Dokota. are visiting their
| parents, Mr. and Mrs. w w. Reed Of
Homer. Mr.. and Mrs Reed are
among the old-timers of Grant coun-
ty. They have struggled to raise a
large and respected family and though
the children have wandered out into
the world, they do not forget to re-
turn to the old home nest to bring to
it comfort and cheer. We congratu
late these children on their priceless
privilege, while we look away away,
through the binding mists to the
only family reunion we can ever know
"a reunion "beyond the river.
The stereopticon lecture at Ruka's
opera house on Friday evening by

Born: Jan. 9TH, 1901, to Mr.. and
Mrs. b. +. Blosser a son-weight nine
pounds. Dad weighs a ton and an
ounce Now is the time to get den
tai work done. That tooth carpenter
is so good natured that he will do the
| Job easy, and feels so rich that he
may do it at half rates. Congratula-
tions to all concerned.
The Homer post-oflice is no more.
Owing to the rural free delivery mail
route which has for some time
been running through that country,
the Homer postot1ice has been discon-
tinued and mail matter should be di-
rected to Boscobel, from whence 1t
will reach the people of that place by
the rural route. So far the "star
routes" and fourth class postofflces,
antiquated methods of mail manage
ment, go to join the troubadours and
mound builders of by-gone days. Sic
transit gloria mundi.

AS workers in wood, Messrs. Cur
| tbs and Nice are success. They have
been kept deservedly busy in their
plane-pushing, saw-shoving work of
late. The printers cases of the Sen
tinel, the bookcase of the High
school, aud the prescription and china
cases OF the Mellers' drug store, are a
few of the proofs of their dexterity,
neatness and skill in the carpenters
craft. Here's hopin that these busy
builders may have plenty OF patron
age and pelf.
The officers of Beautiful Grove
Lodge, l. O. O. F.. whose names have
already appeared in these columns,
were installed on Tuesday evening.
After the installation the ''chain
gang surrounded the banquetting
board at G.. A. Oswald's hotel, doing
ample justice to the magnificent menu
there served. Visitors were present
from Excelsior and other points, and
the occasion proved to be indeed
feast OF reason and flow of soul"
MAY friendship, love and truth long
live in the lives and have a home in
the hearts of these benevolent breth-
ren. May no robbers beset them on
their Journey, may friendly inns open
their doors in the time of need, and
may arrow and rock be at once to
them all sign of warning and a
source of shelter in the days of dan
