j. FL. Miller, Elkhorn's photo
grapher, has been about as busy
man during the past week as there
was in town, as he has put out four
hundred pictures of high grade of
work.
Manville Petersen out southwest of
Elkhorn invited the young people to
their place last Saturday for rousing
good dance and good time which they
surely had and are perfectly willing
to be invited again soon.
Nels Kroeg, the blacksmith at
Sharon, with his wife went down to
visit relatives and be present at the
confirmation of her sister. They re-
turned home Monday after a very
pleasant visit among their old neigh
bors.
The congregation of the Botna

decided that they will have the home
in which their pastor Rev. Johansen
lives re-painted this summer which
will add greatly to its general
appearance.
Chris Doe living south of Elkhorn
finished up his threshing season last
week. He has had his machine in
readiness all winter to do this lob as
soon as weather permitted and Ras-
mus Nissen can say he was the last to
have threshing done.
The Danish brotherhood at Rohr-
beck took in several new members at
their meeting last Saturday night.
They also passed a resolution that
they would rent their hall in the
future for dances, which they have
refused to do heretofore.
The various nurserymen who have
been selling trees in and around Elk

their yards for fruit may be easily
grown here if it is cared for.

The members Of the congregation
in the church at Elkhorn have
decided to build new barn in place
of the old one and now have the new
lumber on the ground to build.
They expect too to rebuild the par
sonage barn and fix it up con-
veniently.
Rev. Gregersen of the church in
Kimballton held confirmation SER
vices last Sunday to one of the
largest audiences ever assembled in
the church. ALI could not be
accommodated and the fact that there
is need OF a new church building was
clearly proven.

At the meeting Of the share holders
of the Electric Railway last Satur
day, the surveyor made his report and
gave the estimate for grading, right
of-way and rolling stock. He put

places where it would be that. The
projectors now have a solid basis
upon which to work. They know
how much bonds they will have to
float and everything connected with
it. 1t seems a big undertaking but
those who have it IN charge are
undismayed and will push it to
