Last Saturday night a gay crowd
of young jewellers gathered at the
home of Peter Madsen over east of
Elkhorn and to the time of music
danced and whirled in total oblivion
of care or strife until morn, the sober
factor of coming events sent them
reluctantly home.

Last Sunday Miss Christina liver.
son, daughter of Chris Iverson, near
Elkhorn, reached her seventeenth
birthday and in the evening the choir
of young people in Elkhorn went
to her home and sang some of the
songs she loved. In the harmony Of
the young people who had assembled
she could read the splendid harmony
OF friendship that exists in this whole
crowd of people.
1 The extreme high wind of Friday
night did a great deal of damage in
and about Elkhorn. Soren Petersen
lost his chicken house by having it
demolished. Ole Olsen had his new
barber shop moved about three feet
and somewhat twisted. Thresher
Chris had the shed over his machine
moved SO that only the machine held
it from flying away. About fourteen
wind mills were either blown down
or twisted out of shape and numerous
other things scattered and wrenched
out of shape.
Chris Hansen, Elkhorn's harness
maker, and Mis- Larsen, senior men,
Der of the Elkhorn meat market firm,
drove to Walnut, Saturday, and help
ed organize lodge OF the Danish
Brotherhood OF America. Various
other representatives of lodges were
there and about twenty members were
present and put through the degrees.
Most of them are farmers who live
between Elkhorn and walnut and
they have selected a meeting place
three miles west and one and a half
miles south Of Elkhorn and will meet
the first and third Saturday nights in
each month and will gladly welcome
visitors in good standing.
Poplar is to have lumber yard.
This is no dream but an actual fact.
Waldmar Rasmussen living just north
of town, has laid aside good round
sum of money in the bank and now
has five cars of lumber in Kirkman
and on the road. He has had coDsid-
cradle experience in the business and
we must say that his first loads are
exceptionally good. The farmers in
r the community are helping him to
get a start by hauling for him at the
first. He will build home in town,
between the blacksmith shop and the
house of the blacksmith and rent his
farm to run the yard. The yard is
: located in Shelby county just across
Z the street west of Jensen's store and
he will soon have bis sheds and every
thing in good shape.
