friends in the Daniels settlement for
few days
George Young and John R. Tovey re-
turned from their sad mission to ST.
Thomas last Saturday.

prevent the people from hauling ii any
long distance.
Rudolph Spillman has gone back to
his Minnesota home for the balance of
the winter after making an extended
visit with friends here. He returns in
the spring to take up permanent resi-
deuce on his homestead.
Trier will soon have full flrdged
notary public, and 1T may be stated
that this latest acquisition will save the
neghborhood a whole lot OF incon-
venience in the getting Of legal papers
properly drawn up as we'll as the
transaction OF much other business that
in the past has necessitated long trip
TO some far away town. Trier is get
ting some metropolitan herself these
days with the promise of new railroad
and possibly townsite thrown in for
luck.
