Guy Wilson is doing big job of
painting for w. d. Stanley on the
barn he recently purchased at Old
Hamlin. Mr.. Stanley intends to keep
at work until everything needing re-
pairs or paint will get it, as the home
residence and outbuiidings will have
to beiust so.
George Spencer met with painful
experience this week that he will not
forget very soon. While adjusting
part of a hay loader in motion the
rope suddenly loosened and slipped
through the palm and fingers of one
hand burning and tearing the flesh
| nearly to the bone.
William Mcclure and family are
now citizens of Nicola, having moved
there last week. We all wish him and
his family the best success in their
new home and we are sure he will
soon build up good trade in the gen.
eral store business in which he will
engage August 1st.
Andrew Wells, who recently came
down from Dakota to visit his rela-
tives, will return to South Dakota
next week as wages are better and for
summer work the laborer is surer of
longer job. He likes some parts of
that state pretty we'll but other parts
are worse than our poorest land.

not SO young were getting up big

Jake Warner and hissister, Miss Anna

ments.
| Mr.. l.. E. England, who has been
lying at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Sam johnson, very low for the
last three weeks passed away last
Monday and was buried in the Extra
cemetery on Tuesday. The funeral
was held from the house. We did not
learn other particulars in order to-
make an extended obituary.
T. F. Shew, an organizer of M. w.
Lodges in this district, was in town
the first of the week seeking to inter-
est the young men in an organization
of that kind. He took tour through
the surrounding country but what
his conclusions We're we did not learn.
The boys are in favor OF a lodge here
but will not go to other towns to join.
| The Misses Lilly Wirth and Mary
Gill started for Fairview school house
last Sunday to attend church and in
driving up hill the breast strap of
the harness broke letting the buggy
run back down the hill and into a Gull
vert ditch, breaking the shafts and
harness. Miss Wirth jumped out of
in its backward flight but was not
injured. No other damage that we
heard of, but part of their journey
was not undertaken.
