Miss Jennie McGill went up to
Crawford county this week and spent
the day visiting with her friends up

Miss Bessie Akrens and Clarence

at that place.
Grandma Rice arrived in town on
Tuesday evening and is visiting with
her old time friends. She is gladly
received here as she is beloved by all
who know her.
Miss Clara Andersen, from Clinton,
was to arrive Wednesday evening to
visit at the home of our expert but
ter maker, Berthe Jensen. This is a
fine family and we dare say she will
have most pleasant visit.
Miss Alice Eddy entertained a num-
Der of friends, last Sunday, in her
pleasant affable manner that always
makes those who have been with her
feel something Of that old time hospi-
tality so often read OF but so little
known.
Miss Rilla Taylor departed this
week for her home, at Guernsey, after
four weeks visit with her brother,
r. L. Taylor and family. Miss Taylor
is an attractive and entertaining
young lady and left a pleasant mem

Ross was we'll represented last week
at the big show in Audubon. Almost
the whole population turned out and
wend down, even SO far as taking in
the parade and all, yet they are all
we'll pleased with the performance
and express it as being good.
Nellie and Sammie Luse arrived in
town last Thursday and have been en-
joying themselves with their many
old time friends and school mates.
They are familiar figures here and all
doors are gladly thrown open to re-
ceive them and give them hearty
good time.
Since the recent rains and farmers
can get out in their corn they find it
far better than they expected it to be.
Lots of new grains have come out on
ears not we'll filled and many are SAN
guine of good fair crop. Most of the
grain is in the stsck or else threshetl
and shows good yield. In all the
farmers are not nearly so bad hurt as
they thought.
While down in Dallas county, last
week, on business trip Jake Ruhs
called upon d. L. Ried and family,
formerly of this place. He found ID.
l.. and the whole family comfortable
and well pleased with their farm and
the country. Dave has one Of the best
stock farms in the State and good
supply of we'll bred cattle upon it so
that the prospects for his future is
bright. All their friends are glad TO
hear of their prosperity and wish
them abundance of good luck.
The hard time of the year for the
creamery has arrived. From now on
the milk is very likely to be tainted
with different kinds of weeds. Anoth-
er feature found is the scarcity of
water in lots of places. resulting in
the cans not being kept clean. Moth
ing taints quicker than milk and
filthy cans can soon give unwhole-
some and dangerous germ life. The
state inspector, too, is liable 10 drop
in at any time and should he find
cans or anything in a dangerous con-
aition is liable to report the person
for a fine. The sometimes expressed
opinion that it makes no difference is
wrong. Someone has to eat the butter
and the golden rule is just as good
here as any place else.
