j. A. Petersen put fine new organ
in the home of Rev. Jersild in Elk
horn that is beauty for tone and
quality of music put forth. John

to the Orphans home.
We understood Monday that Chris
Thompson was hired at the meeting
of the members of the creamery asso-
citation and that then they decided al

the butter makers home. This will
be decided improvement on the old
one as it is becoming old.
Remember the railroad meeting at
Kimballton this Saturday. 1t will be
the deciding meeting as to whether
they will or will not act. 1t is very
important that everyone interested
should be there. The article last week
touched many of the vital reasons.
Those who build now, build not only
for themselves alone but for the fut.

A large portion of the congrega-
ton of the Elkhorn church gathered
together Sunday and went to the par
sonage of their pastor Rev. Jersild
and gave them a pleasant little sur
prise party. Ere the people left they
presented their pastor with purse of
money as token of their we'll wishes
and requested that they should buy
themselves Christmas present.
The editor of the Journal most
heartily wishes the readers of this
department Merry Christmas and a
happy new year. No where are we
treated more kindly or heartily. We
feel our supporters are many and can
not express our appreciation of what
they have done for us and will, we
trust, still continue to aid us in keep
ing the Journal the best and newsiest
paper in the county.
A peculiar accident of seeming
memory to dumb brutes was display
ed last week by COW sold last March
by Chris Peterson, living about three
miles southwest of Kimballton to
Chris o. Jensen, the stockman at Elk
horn, who in turn sold her to DR..
Soc. The doctor kept her in past
ure and tied up during the whole
nine months but last week she got
loose and went straight to her former
home with Mr.. Peterson and tried to
get into the yard with the other cat
tie and yet brutes can't reason.
