NORDNESS
tFrom our regular correspondent.)

cherished by us all last week had us
about convinced that the seasons had
gotten mixed up little and Summer
was just approaching, but this week
is dawning with great change in the
temperature. Mercury is warning US
of another Winter EN- route.
We did not learn of the social
gathering at the pleasant home of
Mrs. M. Gjvere one week ago Sunday
in time to include in last weeks
items. Quite a number of our young
people gathered there on that day and
a very good report has reached us con-
corning amusements.
Ole Hippo and Miss Mollie Ophadel
drove to your city Sunday. Miss 0.
remained there where she will enroll
as a student in the Diamond Cutting
School, preparatory for dress making.
Mrs. Floestad and little son were
visitors in the country the latter part
of last week.
H. Hanson and family entertained
one of their lady relatives and little
child last Thursday. She returned to
her home in DEBORAH the same even
ing.
o. OWL has been busy the last week
grading up his lots near his residence,
and repairing the fence around it.
The men are still very busy with
the threshing machines near our little
burg and the last week has permitted
great progress in that line. One Of
the threshing machines had break
down a couple of weeks ago and they
were delayed few days making re-
pairs.
Mr.. Gjevre's hired man was report
ed on the sick list few days ago, but
at this writing is again able to be at
work.
Our farmers seem to be very FORUM
ate with their stock around here this
year; we have not heard Of any dis
ease at all bothering the stock, which
is very good report, as in some parts
of the state quite few of the farmers
are losing few head with compli-
Gated diseases.
The Sunday stock extra yesterday
had three car loads of stock out of De-
corah, which is the most we have seen
out of there in one shipment for some
time.
]. o. F. Jagerson and wife were
business transactors in your city last
Tuesday, and on Wednesday Rev. Bak-
ken arrived here ON the west bound
train, after few days absence from
home.
1t is reported that few of our citi-
zens who did not approve OF the pro-
ceedings at the. last township caucus
which was held at the school house a
few weeks ago for the purpose OF
nominating republican township
ticket have under secret session organ
lied an independent ticket which they
will have in the field in the coming
election We have not seen the ticket
80 do not know who the parties are
running on it but the republicans have
a fine corps of officers nominated and
we have no doubt but what they will
be approved and elected at the election
next Tuesday.
We haven't been out amongst the
farmers to see what they are busy at
but guess fall blowing is the principal
work at present.
Wednesday, October End, at the Luz
theran church east of town occurred
the wedding of Miss Ella Soland to
Mr.. CLAUS Vista, Rev. Koren officiat-
ing The bride and groom are well
known around here and all join in
wishing them a long and happy life.
About 200 friends and relatives were
present, and numerous presents were
given to this worthy couple. They
will be at home on the groom's home
place about three miles south of De-
corah.
Wonder how many of our readers
noticed the piece in the Public Opinion
few weeks ago concerning subscrip-
tions to papers; this is question
that seems to puzzle so many of the
people. They subscribe for a paper
and when they have taken it for a
few years without keeping subscrip-
tion paid up they think they can get
rid of it by not taking the paper out
of the post Office, while in so doing
they are committing theft as the
laws define it.
The railroad will not replace the
wagon bridge just west of the depot
this year on account of so much work
TO accomplish that it is impossible
to get at it so they are putting in a
crossing just south of the stock yards
across the side track so that our cream
cries may haul their butter to the
depot by crossing the county bridge
south of town and get to the platform
without going over the high hill just
