Apr. 29.-Gllbert Johnson of Fab
lun was around Tuesday taking orders
for twine. .. .Erick Faulk and family
moved to Wil)mar Thursday, where
they will make their future home.
Mr.. Faux has retired from farming.
..... .Gustaf Lindquist, who has been
spending the winter in Sweden, re-
turned Friday week ago. .. The
band has been secured to play at
the double wedding, which takes place
at Nordstrom g in Fahlun next Thurs-
day. Stock has been shipped from
here in large numbers every week for
the last months. Some of our farmers
took quite q number to Willmar Mon
day of last week. Carl Johnson and
Ernest Swenson marketed q large
herd at Kandiyohi yesterday. which
they had sold to A. Backlund. If this
exporting continues much longer, we
will have to import stock, which we
think would be a good plan. Miss
Annie Fink of Willmar visited rela-
tives in the southern vicinity a few
days the past week. :. Hay is selling
for one and two dollars load here
this year. Last year it could hardly
be had for any amount Of money. >.
Olof Lindgren opened a two months
term of Swedish parochial school in
the church's school-room Monday.
....A rumor was afloat Thursday that
fire had broken out in the store the
previous evening, but upon closer in
vestigation was found to be untrue.
Kid would like to see = law enacted
whereby an originator of any false
hood could be fined or sentenced to
Imprisonment. 80. Mr.. and Mrs. B.
Monson of Whitefeld called on friends
here Monday....Carl johnson has
concluded that he has no use for his
top buggy any more, and is selling
tickets for rattle to be held on it in
the near future. We hope some young
chap, who has not had the financial
backing, or whose dad will not let him
have his will be lucky enough to win
it, so he can take his best girl out for
q ride whenever hey pleases. "A
young man, who is we'll known here,
is said to be an inmate Of the county g
boarding house as q result of using
profane language on the streets of
Raymond. >. "A large number of our
people attended the funeral of w. E.
Parson, which was held at the M. E.
church in Kandiyohi last Sunday af-
ternoon. Mr.. Parson was very we'll
and favorably know here, having
resided in this vicinity until a few
years ago. He was aman of upright
character and was one Of the few who
possess the: hidden cha, d that makes
friends easily. ME-. and Mrs. Ed
Anderson of Minneapolis, who are
visiting with the latter's mother, Mrs.
II. johnson OF Fahlun, spent a few
days visiting friends here last week.
The young couple were married about
q month ago. Mrs. Anderson has q
large circle of friends here who wish
them much happiness during their
welded life. :. An item in last week g
issue of the Gazette from our repre-.
sentative caused much ridicule, in
which he stated that our post master
and merchant, J. Ed Nelson, had
ordered an omnibus to be used in de-
livering groceries and mail. The
Tribune reporter interviewed Mr..
Nelson the other day and he stated
that no such thing had ever been
thought of and under no circumstances
would he make such arrangements.
Mr.. Nelson knows that such q service
Is entirely unnecessary, as during the
summer the farmers come to the
creamery every day and then do their
trading and get their mail. We dc
not state this to critisize the the Ga.
zette reporter, but simply to let the
people know that no omnibus or any
other bus will be coming around with
their groceries. KID MCCHEE.
