M. B. Wonsmos, the carpenter at
Sharon store has concluded to start a

making a loom with which he will
weave carpet for all who desire.
Anna Thompson, the fashionable
dress maker in Elkhorn, sold her lots
and house the past week to Peter

damage.
Last Sunday as Victor Jensen, son
of Jasper Jensen, the merchant UP at

however, and Monday was getting
along nicely.
Last Sunday jolly Jens Schouboe,

seventh birthday and as he wished it
time to be remembered they invited
their friends to come and have good
4 time. No one knows better how to
entertain than Jens and his wife and

i joyed themselves.
We have have hea rd of horseless
carriages pulled by mules, of brick
less houses built of stone, of tom cats
serenading in the back yard, Of kings
riding in triumph home from war,
but it remains for Jocum Jensen to
prove the ability of COW to become
a beast of burden when he proved that
he could ride his old black one.
| The barber shop in Elkhorn assum-
es quite different look this week
from last. Then it was twisted off of
the foundation and badly twisted
while the cellar looked like a yawn-
ing abyss, where Ole threw his VIC
TINS but now it is nicely straighten-
up, the cellar filled up and the yard
filled in and smoothed off and pre-
sents quite creditable appearance.
Last Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Blatt buried their infant child in the

leaving their hearts sore and bleeding.
Yet in that little mound ever will re-
