A little knowledge of Norsk Folk Lore
by the management of the dancing party
last week would have made plain to
them the purpose of the visiting masque
raiders, who were simply following an old
country custom which is to impersonate
Xmas fools" and visit neighbors and
any entertainments which may be in
progress in a neighborhood for the pur
pose of amusing and otherwise entertain
ing those present with songs, antics and
clownish actions generally. We trust
that our Scandinavian friends will eX-
cuse our ignorance.
Parties from Richland county are try
ing to buy the l. Fl Page farm. This
farm of over 300 acres is one of the best
in the township, having been entered
from the government by the late Mr.
Page over sixty years ago. A large brick
house of the old colonial style was built
thereon nearly forty years ago, and large
barns and granaries, tenant house, etc,
from time to time leaving it in shape
good enough for anyone.
