Rev. George Neiss of Red Oak is
assisting Rev. Werth hold revival
meeting at the Evangelical church in
this town. Much interest is being
taken in this meeting the house
being crowded nightly. The meet
ing will continue over Sunday and
perhaps longer.
The Creamery Association will at
once order new smoke-stack to re-
place the old one part of which fell
to the ground last Monday, the
manager is afraid the condition the
remaining stack is in may lead to a
fire which could only be attended
with disastrous results.
The rain and mud of last week re-
tarded the usual rush of hogs to our
market and we only note Peter
Lauritzen with one load; Fred Sabel
one, Harold Hemmingsen one, Geo.
Egen one, II. Rice one, Tom Chris
Jensen one, James Blake two, and
Peter johnson two loads.
Hans Marcussen has commenced
the erection Of large dwelling on
the 40 acres he reserved when he sold
his 120 acres just south of town. 1t
is in beautiful location, the view
being magnificent. When he gets
this house and barn and other out
buildings completed he will have one
of the finest little properties in this
part of the county.

Germany writes to her parents near

has went by the advice of her physi-
clan to Weisbaden watering place
of world wide celebrity for her health
and that in the short time she has
been there the medicinal waters are

The haulers did not haul milk last
Tuesday having come to an UNDER
standing among themselves that
from now on until spring every
other day is often enough to make
their rounds. Perhaps meeting of
the directors will be called to de-
eide the matter. Some of the patrons
claim that they get as much milk
now as they ever did and are fearful
of its souring if delivered every other
day.
Al White one of the milk haulers
at the creamery came near meeting
his death last Monday and he is still
unawares perhaps of his close call.
He had barely left the creamery
when two sections of the smoke-stack
which is old and rotten came tum-
bling down aid struck the ground in
exactly the place where Mr.. White
had been standing in his wagon a
minute or two before, but miss is
as good as mile they say and AL
still survives to haul the milk
another day.
The Elkhorn base ball team and
our own "Never Tires'' came to-
gether last Sunday on the latter's
field, and all preliminaries had been
settled, stripped for the fray and it is
said that owing to the lateness of the
hour and the distance four of the
latter team had to go, it was agreed
that instead of the usual nine innings
seven was to close the game, but be that
as it may they went at the game with
q win or die expression OF the coun-
tenances Of all the PLAYERS. The Never
Tire pitcher always handy with the
sphere out did himself on this oc-
casion by his succession of air cleav-
ing losses which were made with
such unerring precision that the re-
cult of the game was due to him, al
though he had able assistance in the
other players. And on the other
side good game was played some of
the team showing abilities that are
ascribed to teams making their reg
uiar tours as stars. At the close of
he seventh inning the game stood 9
to 10 in favor of our team and the
above alluded to promptly with
drew and the game was closed. We
did not learn whether they will try
conclusions again but presume they
will at no distant day.
