a Wn1le ana feelS better TOR a few
days but Dol gets back into the
same old condition.
Mr.. Porter's children have been
quite sick for the past week. He has
just returned from over neal Clinton,
where he had gone to attend the buri-
al of his mother, and now they have
their hands full.
Work will begin next week to take
the lumber from the Green Bay Yard
to the site tor the new Lutheran
church and the building of which
will begin just as soon as they can
get things in shape.
Ora Corner has been improving
things about his place by putting up,
all told, about eighty rods OF fencing.
Such Improvements not only prove sat
istactory but are a convenience and
satisfaction to have around.
Miss Mate French is quite sick this
week of intlammatory rheumatism.
She has been having quite a siege Of
various diseases this spring, for as
'N'Ah - jim StoNSl 1loIl III j
she is attacked by another.
A number of the citizens of the
town, accompanied by their wives,
went to Manning, Monday night, to
attend al entertainment in the opera
house. They all report a splendid en-
tertainment and a general good time.
Miss Belle Lancelot writes back
that she was elected without a dissent
ing voice. She has given entire sat
isfaction as a teacher and made a
record, that not only her but Gray
can feel proud of, for she has had a
hard place to fill.
Ben Halbert and his estamible wife
departed, last Friday, for Odebolt
their future home. Both have made
many friends here and the town re-
grets to see them leaving, yet wish
them contentment and happiness
wherever they are.
Jess Settlemire has finished hauling
the lumber for that fine new barn he
is to have built this summer. He is a
hustler and a man who believes in
modern improvements and will al
ways be found to the front in improv-
ing and fixing things about the place.
The barn at The Wayside Inn has
assumed a more p%retenteous appear
ance since the bright red has been
added to it so that now with the hos
tlery and Inn Gray is in good shape
for all comers and goers and the Sun
dy dinners are becoming fashionable.
Louis Groteluschen and wife de-
parted, last Sunday, for a visit at
Columbus, Nebraska, from where they
moved to this place. They have not
been back on a visit since they came,
each tending strictly to business, and
they now feel that they have earned a
rest and will visit for a couple of
weeks with relatives and friends.
E. G. Mertz has moved some shelv-
ing and counters from Audubon and
is having them placed in his owl
building on the north side Of the
the street preparatory to moving over
there. He will also move his residence
and live in rooms over the store which
he will fit up in a more convenient
manner
T. b. Creveling started his first
wagon out, Monday, to supply the
the wants of his customers and give
them a chance to remain in the fields
and work. Chat Dustin is master of
ceremonies on this wagon. The Sec
ond wagon will start Thursday. In
these days of rural delivery for mail
and when the necessaries Of life are
taken to ones doors they need not
complain of modern conveniences.
Emerson Shelly and the Deacon
came dashing down the street the
other day when the Deacon belied his
name and began a furious fullisade on
all constructions and Instructions in
his rear whether real or imaginary
and Emerson found the ground
more fascinating and convenient than
the cart and made his demise, and
whether by accident or on purpose
we are unable to say. The Deacon
made a few more peculiar gyrations
and finally made his obesiance to
Banker Mcclure by standing on his
head in the ash pile in front of the
bank where he was captured and fur
ther action and accident prevented.
