will have the opportunity to do in
this profession.
The four-year-old son of VIM.
Schoultz accidentally fell into the
cellar last Saturday and broke the
right forearm. The doctor was sum-
moned and now the little fellow ia re-
covering nicely.
Mayor Bendixen held court the
first of the week and some who
thought he had forgotten all about
their misdeeds found him to have q
good memory and depleted their
pocket books somewhat.
Chris Jensen of Linn county,
arrived in Brayton Monday and ex-
poets to remain for some time. Mr..
Jensen is looking for good eighty
acre farm and will doubtless make
some man a good renter.
A couple of young fellows came
into town not long since in rather q
hilarious condition but when inform.
ed by citizen that the town stood
little fooling and their pocket books
might soon be depleted they moved
on.
H. S. Wattles got back from a four
weeks visit to Carson Friday and re-
ports them all we'll and having a
good business. He made flying trip
to Extra and Audubon the next few
days to straighten out calls made on
him.
The Royal Neighbors give their
mask dance in the hall tonight with
Pearson's orchestra to give the music.
With the ladies to look after their
welfare and with this orchestra to
make music all are sure of good
time.
Will Thielen, the hustling ranch
man up towards Extra, sold three
cars OF cattle here the past week.
Will is one of the best feeders in the
county as the prime condition in
which his cattle always go to markets
prove.
Ernie Cotton came in from Ames
last Friday and visited until Monday
with his many friends here. Ernie

Owen Green, who lived at one time
on the Ballard estate, but who is now
down by Lorah, sent word up to his
friends that boy had put in his
appearance at their home so that
when the shadows in life begin to
grow long they will have some one to
cheer and comfort them.
Christmas Eve, one of A. T. Bu-
ford's bows was kicked in the face by
horse and when the doctor arrived
he found the upper lip cut through
in one place and cut about three
inches long on the forehead. 1t seems
marvellous that the boy escaped at all,
as the skull might easily have been
fractured.
Ellen Miller is home from Chey-
enne, Wyoming, visiting her mother
and brother who live here and who
have not seen her in sixteen years.
She reports lots of snow in the west
and was snow bound at one point for
five hours. Lots Of places snow was
packed so high on the sides that the
passengers could not see out of the
windows. n
The citizens in the vicinity of the
Kelly school house south of town,
congregated Christmas eve to listen
to program and receive presents
from Christmas tree. The people
in this community are alive and
wide awake and when they start in to
do thing don't go much on halves,
so that the tree was one that was
beautiful to see and the program well
rendered.
Heads Should Never Ache.
