q logging camp all winter, is home again
and between times trying to get little
seeding done.
Fred Johnson had every symptom OF

won't Be. realized.
H q. c. Oles, Of Kasota, Mimi, has rent

section for himself this year.

That's right, Jim. don't let go too sud-
denly, and we will hope to see you back

About four months ago Rhinold Mike
was thrown off a load of hay and sus-
tanned bad sprain of the left foot, and
has been unable to walk without the aid
of clutches ever since. with no i'm
mediate prospects of improvement.
After good wrestle with small pox,
Joe Milne got well fumigated and left for
Edmonton, N. w. T., where his mother
and brother George had preceded him.
Joe will be missed in dancing circles as
he was famed for saving the cat. gut-Oh
well, there are others.
Garnett & Holidays store has under
gone metamorphosis-all out of date
stuff was sold-lots of it given away.
Then the store was painted, fre>coed and
filled up with brand new stock OF
goods-it looks fine now, and smells
finer.
Some are going, while others are COM

and w. ]. Mulloy, of Auburn, has taken
the old L. E. Storms place, miles north
of town. Both families are good &C.
QUESTIONS to the community.
John Thordarson, Jr., of Nash, was
home again last. week. John always likes
home, but somehow, of late. he comes
more often, and his visits are more pro-
tracted. Let's see, guess we must in.
vestigate the matter-in the meantime
keep on coming, John.
Rain last Thursday played hockey
with farmers plans and continues to de.
lay seeding. One 4-quarter-section-far
mer east of town informed your scribe
that to-day, 9Th, he had seeded but As
acres. However, our courage is on top
In '96 we seeded on LIST and End OF June.
which was very fair crop year.
A full key of beer stood on our depot
platform the other day, addressed to
whom we always considered one of our
incest young men, whose father is we'll
TODD farmer living close by town. Your
old scribe felt as if he would gladly for
felt $500. 90 sooner than see his sons
name pasted on key of Hamm's beer.
Fathers and mothers how do you feel
about it.
That was (fra )Grant bouquet the
Times man tossed to your old scribe last
week-about something equally as
good" etc. Thanks, Grant, you know
how it is yourself, and long before the
leaves fall and the swallows homeward
fly, you'll line up for Jud as congress
man, SO will l. A,scientific assay might
discern some poetic symptoms of mild
form in the last stanza, as it were. but
it's good to take, and is harmless.
In a letter to his parents from Phila-
delphia, Percy Thomson informs them
that he has passed his final examination
in the dental college and is now a full
fledged D. D. S. All right, there's lots
of room at the top. Percy is now spend
ing two weeks in New York and Wash
ington, and will devote the following
two monthe to post graduate course in
the North Western Dental College, of
Chicago.
Paul Johnson, the genial Akra philoso-
pher, was in town and as usual, hand
shaking, smiling, and persistently in
jecting hail insurance into every CONVEX
sation. 1t seems there should be some
thing good somewhere for Paul, we hate
to think of those talents being buried up
in the sAkra scrub. If Paul ever dies
(which we all hope he won't) there will
be two big holes, one in the community
and one in the ground, and there will be
a whole lot of nice talk about Paul John
son.
Talking about beer-brings to mind
that Walsh County Deputy U. S. Mar
shall dropped off the train the other day
and took away Bill Kohlmeier with ten
witnesses to appear before o. M. Fraser,
US. Commissioner, on charge Of selling
intoxicants without U. S. license. The
