lady will be able to come home in
few days.
BERTHE Gano has a fine new pneu-
matte tired, wheeling chair that is
model Of completeness and every day
now when the weather will permit, she
is seen upon the way down to her
father, Stephen Gano's store, and the
little lady takes great delight in these
outings.
Will Brinkerhoff, the Atlantic Tele-
graphs foreman, came up Saturday
night and visited his relatives until
Sunday morning. Will is arranging
to go as far as Colorado Springs with
his niece, Gretchen Delahoyde, when
that young lady starts for Salem soon
after July 4th.
G. @. Hawk, who was appointed
marshall by Mayor Kapp last week,
rang the curfew bell last Friday even
ing and then went and delivered his
star to one of the council and no cause
given. The kids the next night as
there was no mayor or marshall in
town proceeded to cut up high, but
since they have got them tanned down
little.
Last week on Wednesday was Will
liam Bintner's fifty-seventh birthday
and that day his children and his child
ren's children gathered at the home
of this good man and his wife in great
numbers and they also brought q fine
rocking chair as token of love and
when they went they left him sitting,
rocking and thinking that it is better
to receive than to give rocking chair.
The people down this way went
plumb daffy" on the land buying
question this week and $1,000 an acre
was q price given for several farms.
George Dimick has bought the j. s.
Smith farm, south Of town, of Will
Bintner and Will cleaned up a snug
little fortune on the deal. Will John
son purchased the Palm Curtis place
out in Greeley and paid good round
price for it. But the raise is on and
there is no telling where it will end.
The telegraph wires were kept busy
between Extra and Huron, s. D., be-
cause an Extra boy had got into some
trouble and then got into Jail and he
was very anxious that his mother
telegraph him one hundred dollars to
| get him out of limbo. The good moth
er ignored the request and fatty re-
fused to advance the money so Gar
thur r" still languishes in durance vile.
We suppose verify the way of the
transgressor is hard.
Saturday night we had little taste
of what the firecrackers are going to
be like this year. Some urchins got
one OF the cannon kind and burying it
out in the mud in the street touched it
off. There was a deafening roar and
the mud flew and plastered all over
the windows of Alfred Voorhees,
hardware store windows, distance of
several feet. This is a warning to
pretty girls with white dresses to go
"way back and sit down" on that day.
The Extra high school base ball
club went down to Atlantic .one day
this week to play return game and
when they arrived at the fair grounds,
found that instead of the Atlantic high
school boys they had an altogether
different club to play with and some
of the best players Atlantic had. They
played the game, the score being IA to
4 in favor of Atlantic. George Guern-
sey and Clyde May were the Extra bat
terry and performed well but were too
weak for such men as Burchell, Des
Moines pitcher. Young Fred Letting
well was the Extra umpire.
The old people Of the Christian
church met at the home of their pastor
L. @. Whitaker last Wednesday after
noon and passed the time in sociability
until tea time when tempting lun-
cheon was served. A noticeable feat

those assembled there were nineteen
persons who we're over fifty-fve years
of age. These are those present:
Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. Lair, P. l. Whitfield,
J. Il. Bell, Henry Conklin, G. c.
